The Benefits of Puppy Training

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    Thank you so much to Dog Training Elite for helping me out with my crazy Randy. He was always very reactive towards men that would come into my apartment. After training, he seems way more comfortable with people coming to visit and more confident and secure in himself. I love my one on one sessions and the group class structure! Thank you!!

    Reina and her team are awesome! Millie has came so far in only a few short months. I went from not being able to walk her down the street without her barking to being able to walk her around the mall, dog park, etc with no issues. I highly recommend!

    I’ve never been so pleased with the improvement and my bound with my little girl. The crew at Dog Training Elite in Clarksville really helped me and my dog. They were able to get results for us even on day one. Basic commands were simple enough and they were able to show me how to get my puppy to sit, stay, and place on the very first session. Now I can even drop my leash and run away with her favorite toy and she won’t move a muscle. Walks are so enjoyable, not worrying if she will jump on someone. They were just so professional and took into consideration the nature of what I wanted my canine to be able to do. Dog Training Elite was able to meet all of my goals but took me and my dog training to a whole different level that I never thought possible. They are a must for anyone who wants to train their canine companions! Worth every penny in my book. I am looking forward to the future with Dog Training Elite.

    We had the best experience with Dog Training Elite with our Lab puppy. With this being our first dog we really weren’t sure how to train a dog much less get a puppy to stop biting but with the help of the head trainer Reina, it has been the difference between night and day with our puppy. She was great not only with him with all the trainings, but also with us showing us how to train, making sure we had what we needed to be effective without her. This program is definitely worth it!

    We worked with Reina and Montana. They were the perfect trainers. Willow our dog responded well to both. Today was our last one on one session at the mall. We are really happy with how well Willow followed directions.

    Working with Parker, Reina, and Montana has completely changed my dog! Before moving to Tennessee, I was worried Briar would never be able to become a service dog. She was very selective when listening, extremely stubborn, and wouldn't respond to commands. Almost a year later, she is an entirely different dog! She responds to her commands, walks well on and off leash, has passed her public access test, and is now a service dog in training! These trainers have not only helped to instill confidence in me as her handler, but in her as well! I am so blessed to have worked with these fantastic people, and I encourage anyone looking for a trainer to look no further and contact Dog Training Elite. Their trainers are kind, patient, communicative, and want to ensure you and your dog meet your goals. Words can't express how great working with Dog Training Elite has been! Don't walk but run to set up a consultation with them, you and your dog will be better for it!

    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!!

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
