    Would highly recommend Elite dog Training! Our dog Bear was very reactive with other dogs, walking him became less and less enjoyable, until we met Danielle and Shelby. What I love about Elite’s program is the hybrid approach. Their team first comes to your home for five 1:1 visits, which we found super helpful for learning techniques like “place” when someone comes over. After the 5 sessions, you’re then able to join the group classes, which was a great way to break reactivity and build confidence. The group classes are very organized, and the team has great communication during the week to notify about location and cancellations. Another benefit I found was the group classes are on a rotation between 3 different locations, Warwick, Smithfield and Bristol. We are so thankful to have found Elite Dog Training and have truly seen such a difference in Bears confidence, behavior and listening. We look forward to enrolling him in the next level of service animal training. Danielle & Shelby deserve 10 ⭐️’s

    Love this service! Debated on training my dog for months, truly saw the problem when her behaviors started hurting my grandparents. Called and got a trainer to visit the same week! I once would have never brought my dog to Lowe’s; now she’s able to walk through the airport with me. I get compliments on how behaved she is now. I paid for obedience classes, so far; I have learned how to train her with help from the professionals. This was a better choice than sending her to a school and not getting to learn how to maintain the obedience myself. The team has managed well with my work schedule to allow me time to choose when training sessions are; the convenience of coming to my home to train has been a blessing. Cannot describe how thankful I am for the team in training Wynonna so well! Included a photo of her aggressively playing before Dog Training Elite and a photo of her in the airport after Dog Training Elite to show the difference.

    They were absolutely amazing. Our dog was extremely difficult to walk especially when she saw other dogs. Also, she was an extremely anxious pup. After working with Dog Training Elite, specifically Amber, she is super easy to walk and is much less anxious

    Training my miniature dachshund puppy was straightforward with Nathan. Well, as straightforward as training a dachshund can be ;) Since it was my first experience with a trainer, Nathan did a fantastic job in boosting my confidence, helping me support Vienna to be her best.

    Great experience and results. Our chocolate lab puppy learned to not overwhelm by jumping on everyone who came to our house and everyone we met on our walks. She learned to be comfortable and friendly with others dogs and contain her overflowing enthusiasm. We have boarded our pup with Taylor multiple times and she’s happy and better behaved when she comes home. Taylor is amazing. Rilo now plays with dogs and can share her bed with Taylor’s cat. She’s not afraid and I’m less worried about her bolting when we go on off leash walks. Colleen, as well as Taylor, came to our house and was kind and full of great information. I happily recorded Dog Training Elite.

    First week in for “Elite Training Camp” program and I believe we are setting the groundwork for a successful outcome. Anika has done an exemplary job, as have all the trainers (Josh, Elijah, and Annie), in helping me set reasonable goals for the fundamentals. The focus is on positive reinforcement with clear communication. They are helping me to build confidence and consistency as I continue to understand my dog. I am impressed with how all of these trainers work as a cohesive team.

    I love the trainers and so does my puppy. They are warm and patient as my dog and I learn the skills.

    DTE has been an invaluable resource to our family in training our first dog. My husband and I had limited to no knowledge of how to train a dog as we did not have any pets growing up. All of the trainers at DTE are knowledgeable and do an amazing job training both my dog, and me. They explain all commands in simple terms and are approachable with additional questions. We bought the Gold packages, 5 one on one training sessions and 6 months of group training sessions. We just started our group training. Jared does a wonderful job of explaining the reason for each activity and always welcomes questions of further explanation if needed. I love that I can text the direct number with urgent questions or issues and they respond quickly. We have had our sweet puppy for only 2 months but have already seen huge improvement, and I feel more confident in my training, as well. I would confidently recommend DTE to anyone who is looking for dog training services.

    My daughter and I absolutely love Kayle! She is clear in her directions, and will even change how she says it if my daughter doesn’t understand. Without even asking she will explain why/reason to whatever she is working on with my daughter and our dog. She is an excellent source of knowledge and so sweet

    Today My dog Nova and I did our Public Access Test. Our trainer Renee Juliano a highly trained Dog Handler with Dog Training Elite. This test is to ensure that dogs that have public access are stable. The Bottom Line of this test is that Nova demonstrates she is safe to be in public and that I demonstrates I has control of Nova at all times. Our final Result was "Pass." Renee is a valuable quality skill in her trade nothing but the best.

    Rosie was a trained service dog who was trained at another facility. However, later we found out that she was abused and bit by another dog. This caused extreme anxiety and stress for not only her but me because she became very reactive to other dogs. I had looked at other places for help but they didn’t hear my concerns. I was very hesitant about leaving Rosie anywhere. When I called Dog Training Elite from the first interaction with Kara to Meeting Shelley the owner I knew I had finally found my place. Shelley not only listened to my concerns but actually heard me. I cannot say enough about this team. I loved the fact that I got daily videos of what they were learning and then reinforced with me upon pick up. The trainers are amazing at what they do. If you’re looking for a training facility for your dog, you will be forever grateful that you chose Dog Training Elite. As they say. “Welcome To The Pack”

    Second time around with Elite! When we got our new puppy I knew exactly who to call, to help me train her and still let her be her sassy little self. So thankful for their guidance teaching or two best good girls!

    I’ve been training at Dog Elite for about a month now, and I’ve already seen a dramatic difference in my puppy’s behavior. My trainer, Annabelle, has been absolutely amazing. She’s so calm, patient, and incredibly personable, which makes the whole process feel easy and comfortable. She’s also very understanding and always takes the time to help and explain things clearly. Annabelle is super sweet and welcoming, and you can tell she really cares about both the dogs and their owners. I’m so grateful we were paired with her and would highly recommend Dog Elite!

    I’m super impressed with my trainings with Parker. He’s been patient and understanding with my progress with my puppy, awarding my successes and encouraging me to focus on small changes that have made a huge difference. Training is timely, and requires consistent diligence and repetition. Parker understands and refuels my efforts with each visit. I highly recommend Elite Central Nashville!
