Learn Why Dog owners choose Dog Training Elite

    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”

    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!

    My life has been forever changed by this training. My service dog and I have learned how to communicate with one another, trust one another, and be a team built on mutual care and love.

    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.

    They are truly the best. They are knowledgeable about what they do and always so helpful. They have made a huge difference in our lives in what they have accomplished with our service dog and we are still in training so it’s incredible what they have done for us. Our service dog has been life changing because of them. They are also wonderful people with genuine caring hearts, we love them and we just couldn’t recommend them enough.

    We had Clint as our Trainer. He was great with my overly anxious loud dog. Took no time at all for Miley to realize there is nothing to fear. I learned not to just ask Miley to listen but to command her to listen. This made a huge difference. My family and my family friends have all notices she is much more calm when they are over. Would totally recommend!

    Ramiro did an incredible job walking us through the process with Koda. The transformation from the beginning was noticeable and welcome. We have the tools necessary to keep moving forward. It was well worth the investment to have confidence in managing Koda’s instincts and getting the desired behavior. We would highly recommend Ramiro and Dog Training Elite to help in your situation.

In House Puppy Training

At Dog Training Elite, we believe training in your home is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home methods allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

Our training approach minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of Training

Read More

  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
