FAQs

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.

    I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with the Dog Training Elite Northern Central NJ team! Trainers Kim and Marcus have made training such a fun and engaging experience for service dog, Layla, a 1.5 yo Cattle Dog mix — their passion and dedication in setting Layla up for success shines in every session we have. My bond with Layla has strengthened significantly and I’m so thrilled with how far we’ve come! Their expert knowledge, and enthusiasm for helping dogs while having a great time in the process is truly commendable. Thank you for your hard work and commitment in guiding Layla towards her fullest potential!

    Marcus with Dog Training Elite absolutely exceeded our expectations! He went above and beyond for us during our training and was always just a text message away if we had questions. He was professional, knowledgeable and so caring when it came to our pup! My dog is now so well mannered and understands all commands. I would recommend DTE to anyone!

    From the first training session I knew it was the right fit. Kim, our trainer, has been just what our black Lab Zoey needed. She has had great insight and really vested in our Zoey. When I say Zoey has come along way she has achieved the ability to know the commands, has had leash training and after just two sessions been able to heel and walk along grass and not be distracted like most 7 month old Labs are. She has introduced her to another dog which was her first socializing with others since she left her Mom and siblings. If you’re in need of a puppy to be trained look no further you have come to the right training program. Definitely 5 stars!!

How We Train Personal Protection Dogs

Read More
Read Less

At Dog Training Elite, we take a thorough and positive approach to training personal protection dogs. Our process ensures your dog is fully prepared for protection duties while maintaining a calm and obedient demeanor.

Here’s how we do it:

  1. Initial Assessment: We begin by evaluating your dog’s physical and mental readiness for protection work. Older, overweight, or anxious dogs may not be suited for these duties. If needed, we start with basic obedience training to ensure a solid foundation before moving forward.
  2. Specialized Training: Once your dog is deemed fit, we develop a personalized training plan tailored to your dog’s unique abilities and your specific needs. We utilize positive reinforcement techniques throughout the entire training process to build confidence and trust between you and your dog.
  3. Ongoing Support: We are always available for questions and provide ongoing training if needed. Our trainers are committed to helping you maintain your dog’s skills and providing support as your needs evolve.
