Puppy Classes

Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting time for any family! Puppies love to cuddle, play, and explore, but they also have much to learn before becoming well-behaved companions. Puppies can start training as soon as they come home at eight weeks old, and the benefits of training young will last their whole lifetime.

If you’re searching for professional puppy training classes, Dog Training Elite is your top choice.

We offer free in-home consultations to get your puppy on the right track from day one. Our experienced trainers work closely with you to customize a program that meets your goals and your puppy's needs.

From basic obedience to socialization classes and advanced service training, Dog Training Elite is here to guide you every step of the way.

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.

    I can’t say enough good things about Kais service animal trainer, Dominique! She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always takes the time to answer all of my questions. She’s also so patient—especially with me honestly, sometimes I feel like I need more training than Kai does! Dominique is always responsive, helpful, and truly cares about the process. Overall, it’s been such a great experience with zero complaints. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a service animal trainer! Kai has made so much progress thanks to her guidance, and it’s clear how much dedication and passion she brings to her work. You can tell she genuinely wants both you and your dog to succeed. I feel so much more confident moving forward, and I’m beyond grateful we found her.

    Chester, the dog, and I, the person, are both learning a lot. Chester clearly wants to learn and seems to be happy to know what I want from him. We have only had 2 training sessions but he is already so much better. He will settle into his "place" and wait to be released which is WAY better than the old jumping on neighbors when we would stop to talk. and his "come" is MUCH more reliable. Michael, our trainer, tunes into Chester and makes me feel really comfortable with the e-collar. I am confident Chester will be the "very good boy" he wants to be through this training. and I will be the best dog-mom I can be.

    Hailey has been amazing helping us learn to work with our young dog. I could not recommend this training method enough. Having off leash control has been life changing for us and our family.
  • Michelle Landry

    Hailey is amazing. Our beagle went from wild and insane to actually trained and polite. The e-collar really makes all of the difference too. Training a beagle puppy (7 months old) is not easy, and Hailey truly made it all possible. We plan on continuing with more training. I highly recommend her, even with the most difficult dogs. She’s so smart and confident and I instantly trusted her knowledge.

    I’m applying so many great things I’m learning from Annabelle towards the training of my dog, Sercy. A couple of years ago Sercy had boarding/training with another company. It proved unsuccessful because I wasn’t able to attend the sessions due to the travel distance. Now, with Dog Training Elite, I am doing it the right way!

    Trainer Rhett does an awesome job with explaining the program and tailoring to the specific needs of the pup and client. He is really good at breaking down the instructions with the e-collar, explaing command expectations, and boosting the confidence of the client and of the pup. My once fearful dog and my worried self now know how to handle the challenges ahead.

    Ramiro and his team were extremely knowledgeable and educational throughout the entire training process. We were dealing with resource guarding with our golden. They went above and beyond, even scheduling extra sessions with us for help. We were more than happy with the training we received and Goose seems like a much happier dog being able to control his emotions correctly. We will be recommending any future dog owners to Dog Training Elite!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edited to add: After a year of continued group classes, I can confidently say this has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Lyra’s obedience, focus, and reliability in real-life situations are night and day compared to where we started. Beyond that, having a well-trained dog has made a huge difference in my own mental well-being because taking an untrained dog out & about is stressful & DRAINING! But now, it’s goal-oriented & FUN! Michael and Gosia continue to be knowledgeable, supportive, personable, and truly invested, and the group classes have been invaluable for ongoing progress. This has been worth every single penny. If you are looking for a sign to pull the trigger, this is it!! Original post: We have had an amazing experience working with Michael and Gosia during our Platinum program for our puppy, Lyra. Their training methods are highly effective—we’ve seen noticeable improvement in Lyra’s reactivity, and she’s become much more obedient. Michael and Gosia are incredibly personable, always on time, and very communicative throughout the process. They genuinely care about the success of both the dog and the owners. While training can be an ongoing process & we know we still have work to do in the group classes ahead (which are included with platinum pkg), we are so grateful for the strong foundation they’ve helped us build and cannot wait to continue improvement. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable and reliable trainers!

    I have a very nervous 1.5 year old chihuahua, rat terrier mix that suffers from fear based reactivity. Over the last year, we have tried medications, CBD and other training courses with no change in behavioral habits. We just finished week 5 of our training with Dog Training Elite and the results have been significant and noticeable to both us and others within our circle. Shelby and Danielle were great to work with and I highly recommend their training programs!

    Dog Training Elite has been a Godsend for my rottie pup GiGi and me. A 100 pound 10 month old is a lot of puppy! The training collar and their training of me is what really works. You get so much more than what you pay for! I 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.
