While it is a common practice to adopt retired police or military dogs, many pet owners are unaware of the extra attention these K9s need. These dogs are not considered dangerous, but they may face issues like anxiety and depression. With the right K9 training in Baltimore / Towson , however, these retired animals can become loyal and loving pets.

Typically, K9 dogs serve for 7 to 8 years and then are "retired" and allowed to live with their original handler as a family pet or can be adopted by a member of the general public. Previous military or police dogs are highly intelligent and vigorously trained to perform specific tasks. The stress of these jobs can leave a retired K9 with issues of aggression, anxiety, and PTSD. Often times, all that is needed is a loving relationship with a new family for the retired K9 to enjoy his remaining years. Adopting one of these dogs is a great way to support these animals that work so hard to protect our local communities.

Dog Training Elite offers expert retired K9 training programs near you in Baltimore / Towson .

Our Balanced Theory

We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.


  • Empowering Owners
    We empower Owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
  • Personalized
    We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
  • Environment Specific
    We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
  • Supportive
    We support Owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
  • Involved
    We work with all members of the household.
  • Simplified & Customized
    We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
  • Continued Training
    Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
  • Lifetime Investment
    We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
  • Satisfaction Ratings
    Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

We help your dog become a valued companion and beloved member of the family. Read what our customers have to say and then give us a call!
