    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!

    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.

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
  • Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
  • Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
