Puppy Classes

Montana came for a consultation for training. She was very thorough and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend, we are so excited to start our training for our dog. We just had our 2nd training session, and I can't believe how much better our dog is behaving and minding us. Montana is just amazing. If you need training for your puppy/dog this is definitely the way to go. We have completed our one on one training and are moving into group training. I can’t praise all of the trainers we have worked with enough. Montana, Amber, Reina, Red - they are all absolutely amazing. Our precious Newfydoodle Ruby took to training so well and I give all the credit to the excellent trainers. If you are looking for training for your dog these are the people to call you will love them and so will your precious pup.

Working with Rod for service dog training has been an incredible experience. From the very beginning, the focus has always been on empowering me as the handler and helping me build a strong, confident bond with my dog. I’ve never once felt like a question was silly or “too much” — every question is met with patience, encouragement, and clear guidance. The level of support goes far beyond scheduled sessions. I always receive quick responses, whether I’m troubleshooting something, asking for clarification, or simply sharing a win along the way. Rod genuinely celebrates progress with you, which makes the journey feel supported and motivating. One moment that truly stood out was when Rod even brought required paperwork to one of our sessions to help with my dog’s pre-flight requirements. That level of thoughtfulness and advocacy speaks volumes about the care and dedication behind the training. Additionally during one session, we went to the airport, practiced going through security, and I was given all info for a TSA liaison for any future trips as well. I cannot recommend Rod highly enough. If you’re looking for service dog training that is knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply invested in both the dog and the handler, this is it. My dog, Clark, has worked hard for his vest & job; and we have been so supported the entire way. PS: Wear your tennis shoes and be ready to WORK during sessions. No time wasted, and it’s awesome!

I called Dog Training Elite after bringing a new rescue pup into our home. It was a very stressful situation as the new dog was displaying anxiety related behaviors and my resident dog was reacting poorly. Christy was able to make a house call next day for a free consultation where she was patient, informative, and provided helpful strategies to help get us through the first weeks of decompression and acclimation for both dogs. Since her visit, we feel more confident supporting each dog with their needs which has immediately improved both dog's behaviors and restored a sense of calm to our household. If this is the result without hands on training, we can't wait to see how the expertise of their team can further support our journey!

We’re about halfway through our 1:1 training sessions and I couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. Laydon and Kristen have both been absolutely wonderful — kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The progress my pup, Pepper, has already made has blown me away, and I can truly see the difference in her behavior and confidence. Every session is very productive and also a lot of fun, which makes the whole process so enjoyable. They explain things clearly, are patient, and genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. I’m really looking forward to completing the rest of our 1:1 sessions and starting group sessions soon. I would highly recommend Laydon and Kristen at Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for excellent dog trainers!

Elite training transformed my biting puppy into a well-trained happy little companion. I nearly gave her back to the APA but Jenny intervened and rescued both me and my little pup. We’ve made it through the program and I am so happy that I never surrendered her. Jenny’s first visit made the biggest difference and it was downhill from there!!

Reina is friendly and knows her job very well.

Great company, trainers and results! All the trainers we worked with were very knowledgeable, professional and helped us to make significant improvements in our beloved pup’s behaviors! He went from slightly reactive and very anxious around new people to being able to walk through a crowded area on command. Most importantly, they trained us on best ways to continue to communicate with our pup so that the training never stops. We especially enjoyed working with Jocy, would recommend her to anyone!

Excellent communication and knowledge..never rushed .. just wonderful for me and my Shepard .. highly recommend elite trainers!! Been with for six months and we have mastered many commands and go in public and are progressing so well.. so glad I have elite to train me and my Shepard !

Giving a full 5 stars already, which is rare for me. Great service, some serious dog trainers here. They came to my house, not ones but twice cause I missed the first appointment. Free in house assessment and can give you a quote on the spot.

Alaina was awesome with honey and training her with the new collar

Enjoying great puppy training!!

Very professional and knowledgeable.

She is a wonderful trainer and Bear loved her!!

Jenny at Dog Training Elite is fantastic. Her training approach is clear, effective, and tailored to my dog’s specific behaviors. She took the time to explain the “why” behind each technique and made sure we felt confident continuing the training on our own. We started seeing results in our very first session, and we’re so grateful for her expertise. Highly recommend!

Working with Mike through DTE's psychiatric service dog training has been such a positive experience for both me and my dog Sugar. From day one, she’s been completely comfortable with him, and it really shows in how quickly she picks up what he teaches. Mike takes the time to explain every small detail and why it matters, which has helped me become more confident and consistent as a handler. He also gently holds us accountable for practicing between sessions, and that structure has made a big difference in our progress. I’m genuinely very happy with the training and the growth I’m seeing in my dog. Highly recommend Mike if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in your success.

Marshall is great. My dog Toby took to him instantly and he's doing great. I appreciate the direction and the tips to help make Toby and I a success. Thank you.

We’ve only just started platinum training for my stubborn 3 year old French bulldog, and two weeks in my boy is already following new commands both on and off leash. We still have a long way to go, but Montana has been nothing but professional, prompt, and thorough in walking me thru all the steps she takes to achieve the desired end result. We will miss her immensely as she embarks on a new, self owned professional training venue down in Georgia. Thank you for being so wonderful!

Michael has been incredible to work with and learn from! My dog, Gio, absolutely adores him. He has made me feel so much more comfortable handling Gio & working towards our goal of becoming a therapy dog. Thank you DTE!!

Brennan knows his pups. Max 10 weeks old was attentive and open to the learning techniques. We, parents, learned the most in session one !! 5 stars.

Excellent instruction and advice! Highly recommend!
