    I am SO happy with our dog, Hank’s, quick turn-around!! He really needed some help with his manners, and Nathan was SO good with him!! He also did such a great job of explaining everything he was doing, why he was doing it, and how we can continue to work on it at home, as well as in different environments. He answered all our questions and took his time with us. My kids even joined in at times, and he was good with them as well. You can tell he’s passionate about his work, and that he really cares about the dogs and the families!! I am so thankful I hired these guys!!! 10/10 recommended!! ☺️

    Alex S is absolutely fantastic, she has come in and helped our situation out so much. Our dobie, Goose, likes to test his boundaries and we are able to overcome this easily. Not only this, he is thinking through his actions/ future actions which is making him a great dog! Highly recommend

    Quality training with quality people who care and work hard with us to make sure Skye can be the best service dog that she can be. I feel they are really in it with me for the long haul. Great family business that works together well and is teaching us how to be consistent and have fun.

    Christy and Taylor were fantastic to work with! They were incredibly patient with our puppy and always took the time to answer our questions. Their communication was excellent, and they were so supportive throughout the entire training process. We were amazed by how much our puppy grew and learned in such a short time. They also did a great job explaining the "why" behind their training methods, which gave us the confidence to continue reinforcing everything at home. We couldn't have asked for a better start with our new dog and highly recommend them!

    I can’t say enough great things about Sunnee. We have two dachshunds, one with prior training and one with none. Working with both of them at the same time has definitely been a challenge. Sunnee has been incredibly supportive, patient, and helpful throughout every session. She’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to training dogs, and honestly, she’s just as good at training the humans too lol. We’ve already seen great progress and feel so much more confident continuing their training at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate trainer.

    Jason primarily helped us with leash manners for our newly adopted rescue pup. We’ve seen so much improvement so quickly and it has helped make walks more enjoyable for us all. He’s very generous with his time and happy to answer any and all questions as things come up. Highly recommend Jason!

    DTE is the best! I can't say enough about Kim, Aaron, & Jenna. They always go above & beyond and bring in real life experiences. Not only do they train your dog but they teach you how to reinforce what your dog has learned. So many people comment on how well behaved my dog is and I tell them it’s thanks to DTE.

    Our trainer Reina was great. She fully understood what we needed and wanted for our dog. The way she teaches is kind and was focused on training us on how to train our dog. Not sure if all the trainers are like her but I recommend using them.

    We can't say enough good things about Teddy's training experience here. Before training, Teddy struggled with high reactivity and walks, public outings were often impossible. Matt, Dom, Alaina were incredible and supportive throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand Teddy's needs and gave us the tools and confidence to continue his progress at home. The transformation has been a complete 180. Teddy is calmer, focused, and walks are now enjoyable instead of challenging. The team genuinely cares about every pup they work with and are passionate about helping them succeed. We're so grateful for everything they've done for us!!!

    Mrs. Debbie is an absolutely amazing dog trainer! I can’t say enough good things about her knowledge, patience, and dedication. In 3 weeks, I’ve seen incredible progress with my puppy. The difference in her behavior and focus has been amazing, and it’s all thanks to Mrs. Debbie’s training techniques and genuine care for both Azula and me. She takes the time to explain everything, answers questions, and makes sure you’re confident continuing the training at home. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and wants us to succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, encouraging, and gets real results, I highly recommend Mrs. Debbie. Azula has come so far in such a short time, and I’m excited to see how much more she continues to grow. Thank you, Mrs. Debbie, for everything you’ve done for Azula!

    WOW what a great experience! I was skeptical at first as I thought our dog was untrainable. Our dog is a whippet mix and a handful, didn't listen, wouldn't follow simple commands, wouldn't walk on a leash, and we were at our wits end. We found Dog Training Elite in Fort Pierce and am so glad we did. After one week, he's a different dog. He's learned all the basic commands and is a pleasure to be around. The videos they send of his training sessions are fun to watch and the "how to" videos are a great follow-up after the training is completed. The trainers are so patient and take their time with your dog (and you). I wish we would have done this sooner. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and wish I could give more than 5 stars.

    The Best decision we made for Cody and my family!! I honestly thought my dog, Cody, was untrainable. Cody is a 6-year-old, energetic Labrador Retriever who would pull us down the street every single time we went for a walk. We couldn’t take him to parks, he wouldn’t listen, and he had a hard time bonding with strangers. I truly believed that was just the way he was. Then we met Kevin. From the very beginning, Kevin was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly understanding. What amazed me most was how quickly he bonded with Cody. Seeing someone connect with my dog the way Kevin did gave me hope that things could actually change. Kevin took the time to teach both Cody and me in a way that was easy to understand and follow. He never made me feel overwhelmed and was always willing to answer questions and help us work through challenges. His patience with both of us was something I’ll always appreciate. One of Cody’s biggest challenges was being around other dogs. Walks were stressful because he would react whenever we passed another dog, and I was constantly worried about how he would behave. Kevin worked with us through those issues and helped Cody learn how to stay calm and focused. Now we can walk past other dogs with so much more confidence. Today, Cody walks perfectly by my side. The pulling is gone, his bad habits have improved tremendously, and he listens so much better. The difference in our daily lives is unbelievable. We can finally enjoy walks, trips to the park, and family outings without stress. It’s honestly been such a breath of fresh air!!🥹 Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for everything Kevin has done for us. When I say we tried everything for Cody before the training, I mean everything!! At one point, we even wondered if Cody had sudden rage syndrome because of the way he would act. Our neighbors thought he was a horrible dog and that he would never change, but Kevin saw something completely different in him.Before Kevin We tried no-pull leashes, anxiety medication for trips to parks and the vet, muzzles, different training methods, and everything else you can think of, and nothing worked at all!! If you’re considering training for your dog, I cannot recommend Kevin enough. I had so many doubts and fears that Cody would never change, but Kevin proved me completely wrong. Thanks to his patience, knowledge, and dedication, Cody is a completely different dog today. Thank you, Kevin, for helping me build a better relationship with my dog and making our lives so much easier. I will absolutely be recommending you to all of my friends and family! ❤️
