One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.
Nope. Those are dangerous grounds to tread upon. We'd much rather train a vicious dog!
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.
Yes. Working with and controlling aggression is one of our specialties in your local area.
We focus on training companion dogs for veterans and individuals with PTSD and other psychological conditions. In addition to service animals, we also train therapy dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment centers.
To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog's aptitude for service work for free!

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!

Renee is great! This was our first training session specifically to have Finegan become a service dog. It went really well & I feel very confident he will pass with flying colors

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. I’ve learned so much about myself and I would recommend this training for anyone interested in training their dog.

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.
