Dog Training in Charlotte, NC

The dogs have been telling us they want more adventures running with their people through the neighborhood, trails, beach, and camp grounds. We have heard them loud and clear. You know us, we are in it to give our dogs and their humans a happy and healthy lifestyle. Jade and Gracie are inviting you to come out to see them. They are the official store ambassadors. The owners of Dog Training Elite Charlotte you have grown to love are also the new management of Pedego Lake Norman. Come see us and test ride an e-bike. We also offer rentals so you can hit the trails of scenic Lake Norman, Davidson, Cornelius area for 2 or 4 hours or even rent the bikes for a full day, weekend, or week to take with you on vacation or explore all the other trails the Charlotte area has to offer. Pedal only as much as you want. Getting tired or not wanting to pedal the hills, hit the throttle and go up to 20 or 28mph depending on model.

Check out this pack of dogs walking nicely next to and around each other! 🤩 They all started with lack of impulse control and reactivity to some extent. Some uncontrollable puppy energy and others fear and aggression reactivity. We build confidence through obedience training. We often get asked, “can you just come out and train my dog to walk nicely on a leash? I don’t need that other stuff.” Your dog pulls on a leash due to a lot of different factors, but it stems from things like low confidence, no impulse control, no clear boundaries or not understanding what it is you are looking for and so much more. So can we help get you to the level of these dogs in the picture enjoying a pack walk during group class in Charlotte? Walking nicely in a leash, not reacting to the other dogs? Yes, absolutely!! But we MUST also teach things like sit, down, and place around distractions. This is how we set you and your dog up for long term success and build confidence to handle everyday stressors and looking to you for leadership and guidance. Are you ready for elite dog and people training? Dog Training Elite Charlotte can get you there. Just ask a client or read a few reviews. We are so proud of every single one of our clients for putting in the time and attention their dogs need to bring out their best and calm their anxieties for a healthier lifestyle. Come on out and watch a group class and see for yourself.

Mayce and Spanky are working on perch during group class with their family. Teaching a dog to perch on an object enhances their balance, rear-end awareness, body control, and adding confidence. Big sister is flashing a smile showing how proud she is of them and enjoying the class. Group classes in Charlotte are a great way to continue to work on the obedience training skills learned during the in-home sessions by adding in the distractions and fun with other families that have similar goals as you do…having fun with our dogs and seeing them enjoy life too. No longer stressed out or frustrated around what they once found challenging. 🐕

Calming exercises are a great chance to not only relax your puppy, but also to bond and desensitize your pup to touch. Armin is a young Golden Retriever that had a great first obedience training session in Cornelius today and enjoyed his bonding time with dad after. 🥰

Do we all remember Miss Gibi? She is as cool as a cucumber on the skateboard working on advanced place during our musical place game here at group class in Charlotte today.

🐾 Bodie here is building his confidence during a public training session in Charlotte. He was a bit nervous about some things, but he was able to overcome some of that at his session and his family has some things to continue to work on until the next session. Training is an everyday process with our dogs just as it is with us. Building processes and making it automatic such as the process you do brushing your teeth before bed or going to the bathroom when you have the urge to go. That same thing takes place with your dog through training and repetition of being calm around other dogs, sitting when getting pet, or not jumping up on Grandma when she comes to visit. Dog Training Elite Charlotte has you covered for all your puppy training, obedience and behavioral training or even the big jobs such as therapy dog or service dog training.

Thank you to everyone that came out to the King Canary Brewing event today! Doing these events are fun to meet everyone to discuss therapy dog, service dog, and obedience training, but also great work for the dogs. Lots of mental work make the dogs so sleepy. Rocky is pictured here ready for a nap as he was getting ready to make the drive back home after the event in Mooresville. 🥱 💤 We talk a lot about the mental and physical work that help bring out the best in our pups on a daily basis during our in-home training sessions and group classes. Giving our dogs these jobs calm anxiety and frustration that otherwise come out as destructive and other “naughty” behaviors.

Bruno is standing on a wobbly surface and learning to balance his body. ⚖️ We think obedience training should be way more than a trainer teaching your dog how to sit, come, and down.

Want to take your training from my dog understands how to sit with a treat to my dog holds a sit around all distractions and is learning to calm his mind and body? 📞 Give us a call and let’s chat!

Yesterday Miss Juno got to experience her first baseball game ⚾️ in Kannapolis during Cannon Ballers Bark in the Park event. She did fantastic taking in all the new things to see, hear and experience. 👏 We seen lots of dogs pulling their owners around. Owners “scolding” their dogs and dogs being allowed to mingle with other dogs who were giving off body language that they are not comfortable with the interactions. Dog Training Elite Charlotte utilizes our obedience programs to not only teach reliable skills like sit, down and place, but most importantly to build a greater relationship between the people and their pups. Clear communication and boundaries make it safe for everyone. We teach you how to read your dog’s body language, how you can protect them and keep them safe as well as allowing them to explore and experience to overcome any stress or anxiety of new things so they can enjoy events such as these and many more with you all summer long!! ☀️ 🏖️
