Dog Barking Training in Albuquerque / Santa Fe, NM

It’s nice to sit down to dinner with 3 dogs and have a quiet, uninterrupted meal. Each dog knows where she’s supposed to be and stays there. Dog Training Elite has given us tools to address behavioral problems if they crop up.

I love working with Kayla C she is good with me and dogs

Dog Training Elite has been awesome! Our trainer, Robert is great and only a phone call or text away if I have questions! He has been very patient with Cooper and also myself!

I contacted Dog Training Elite to help train my new service dog. From the first phone conversation, I could already tell it was going to be a good experience. I"ve worked with service dogs in the past, so I know good trainers and I know bad trainers. Kayla came out to my house to start the basic obedience, which was great. She was so patient and loving towards Helga. AFter that we started the group classes and these have really helped Helga socialize more and get used to the outdoors. We've been practicing for our Public Access test and hope to get that done soon so we can get to the service tasks. This company is very comprehensive and supportive with clients and doggos. I'm glad I found them before anyone else on my list.

Kayla is the best! We have been working together to train my service dog, Baymax and things have been going amazingly! Kayla is patient, kind, and helpful. She listens to both mine and Baymax’s needs and training has become the best part of my week!

I've been training with Kayla C., Kayla D and Abby. They've all been amazing to work with, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite New Mexico.

Excellent attention and experience. Kayla was very attentive to our many questions. Wish I had found Elite long ago

Dog training elite was a great experience for us and our dog. Our trainer Robert was excellent!! His knowledge and guidance made this a positive experience and we learned how to control and enjoy our dog.

Kayla D was and is the most phenomenal trainer for my dog Ramon. Her expertise, patience, and genuine care has made every session engaging and effective. Ramon responds incredibly well to her guidance, and I’m thrilled to share that he is now service trained thanks to her exceptional coaching. The team of trainers, including both Kayla’s and Lacey, has been incredibly supportive and wonderful throughout our journey. Their combined knowledge, encouragement, and personalized approach created a training experience that was not only successful but also enjoyable. It has been a lot of fun working with them, and the positive energy they bring kept us motivated every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone seeking top-tier training, thoughtful instruction, and a caring, talented team. If you’re looking for excellent results and a team that truly cares about you and your dog, this is the place.

Sending a big shout out to Kayla Collins for her professionalism.. she's the best dog trainer anyone could ever ask for.. thank you! from your friends..Gina and Lucy

Steve is a really good instructor! The dogs took to him right away and instructions easy to follow. The dogs caught on quickly and easy to follow through for the remainder of the week. Highly recommend this form of dog training.

Could not be happier with Dog Training Elite in Albuquerque. Our dog Xochi was very reactive which made it difficult for her to enjoy many activities with us including walking in public around other dogs, having friends over to our house. Kayla C came to work with us and Xochi, helping us teach Xochi commands but also teaching us how to respond to Xochi's reactivity. After even the first session Xochi showed improvement. Finally the ultimate test was when Kayla C brought her own dog Axl into our home, and though Xochi wasn't thrilled, she allowed him to exist in our home, even sit in HER chair! The group sessions are very helpful as well, each time Xochi goes, she shows improvement and learns that other dogs are not always so scary! Now Xochi's quality of life has greatly improved because she can be at ease around new people and dogs, and she now has pack leaders who are learning how to lead her. DTE NM, Kayla C and Lacy could not have done a better job.

Great trainers with a lot of experience.

The weekly training really helped calm our dog down around people. We actually see a difference from day 1 to the end of training and going on walks does not feel stressful anymore!

This company has really helped my dog's and my own confidence through our path to seizure alert and response training! Obedience training has come in clutch!

We decided to have our dog in training to become a service dog. He was born very timid and really struggled around people, noises, and other dogs. We have been working with Kayla C. from DTE. She is awesome! She is very friendly and easy going. Plus, she has an amazing eye for the dogs psychology and body language. We passed our Public Access test today and really thank Kayla for all if her help!

Very good experience! We used Dog Training Elite New Mexico when two of our three dogs started having issues getting along with each other. After multiple emergency vet visits, we felt like we were running out of options, but our trainer Kayla showed us how to create a manageable pack environment. The dog we put through the program has come a very long way thanks to Kayla's expertise, and we feel better equipped to keep the pack in order. I appreciated that Dog Training Elite New Mexico worked WITH us on the issues so we could learn along the way and loved that they gave us the flexibility to work with our schedule. The group classes are a huge perk and our experience with those trainers have also been very positive so far. They clearly love and understand dogs and are willing to put in the effort to help their clients. Would absolutely recommend!

This place is great! I have, or rather, had, a very reactive heeler. She would bark at everything and everyone. Snapping, nipping and if it weren’t for her muzzle maybe even biting. I did a consultation and the woman they sent out was great. Very friendly, understanding and overall very welcoming. My dog even stopped growling in her presence which I was amazed by. A few weeks later we had our first session with Kayla C. and she is now one of my favorite people! She has a great, warm personality. She did great with my dog and even now my heeler lets Kayla touch her. 8 weeks of one on one training with Kayla and I now feel SO comfortable taking my dog out in public. She had a dog get in her face the other day and she was unbothered by it. She’s had random people come up and have conversations with me, and now people are able to get closer than 20 ft. I’m so amazingly proud of the progress my dog has made and I’m grateful to Kayla for her help in guiding us through this. There was no judgment, just understanding. I definitely recommend this group of trainers.

Dog Training Elite New Mexico truly set the bar for what a supportive, professional, and passionate team looks like. From the very beginning, I was met with kindness, patience, and genuine support from Justin and Kayla. This wasn’t just a team, it felt like a family that truly cared about one another, the wonderful dogs, and every client who walked through the door. I’m deeply grateful for the trust they placed in me, the lessons they shared, and the countless moments of teamwork, laughter, and growth along the way. Being surrounded by people who lead with heart and purpose made the work so meaningful every single day. Thank you for the memories, the friendships, and the impact you’ve had on me. I’ll always be thankful for my time with Dog Training Elite New Mexico 🐾👋❤️

We have been training our 18 month old German shepherd mix rescue and our 8 month old Golden Mountain Doodle during the past year. I cannot find the words to recommend Kayla highly enough. She is professional, kind, punctual, loving to our dogs and has done wonders training our dogs. She truly is the best!
