Frequently Asked Questions

General
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.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Clarksville.
To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.
Nope. Those are dangerous grounds to tread upon. We'd much rather train a vicious dog!
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.
Yes. Working with and controlling aggression is one of our specialties in Clarksville.
We focus on training companion dogs for veterans and individuals with PTSD and other psychological conditions. In addition to service animals, we also train therapy dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment centers.
To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog's aptitude for service work for free!

    Reina has been the best trainer for our little guy. When he started you couldn’t even show him a picture of a dog without losing his puppy mind. Since we did Training Elite, he has been a different dog and even better around other dogs. Highly recommend and so very glad we used them and got her as a trainer.

    Montana helped me tremendously, get my dog under control and made it to where I can have my dog in my yard without a leash and her not run off.

    This is Kona she was a little fearful of using training tools at first but Montana helped me big time. She got her over her fear of them and made it a good learning experience that was very enjoyable for my girl!

    Got to work with Montana on some basic behavior for my new puppy Freja. I'm happy to say that whenever people meet Freja they always comment on how well she listens and behaves. I would recommend working with Montana to anyone, she is an excellent trainer. Will definitely seek her out for anymore help in the future.

    Montana helped shape my rambunctious heeler mix, Vanna, into a well rounded doggo by teaching her basic obedience. She was wonderful and very compassionate. You can tell she puts 100% into her work.

    Dog Training Elite has made a big impact on my dogs life. Before Dog Training Elite my dog Ranger was out of control. He was super anxious, and destructive. Parker was able to train my dog to be calm and confident. I was hesitant that my dogs personality would change. However, Ranger is still his goofy self, but now listens and is enjoyable to be around. Thank you Dog Training Elite

    This training experience with Reina has been amazing! Reina helped not only me and my husband but our dog Harley as well. Before trining Harley was pulling on the leash hard enough to pull me down. Now he doesn’t pull on the leash at all. His confidence in himself has increased and he has become a happier dog because of it. Without this training we would not have been able to reach the goals that we did. Highly recommend!!

    Our two Great Pyrenees mix pups were getting too difficult to train on our own. When Reina arrived for the assessment she knew what we needed- and we have learned so much! She loves dogs, is easy to work with, and responds quickly when there are any questions, issues, or schedule changes. Highly recommend!
