    Having had two previous pups I thought this girl would be easily trained by me. That was not so. Thanks loads to Kevin for helping me understand the training methods used and to all the great people at Elite. I was very sensitive to make certain that the training would be pain and punishment free. The patience and care shown to train my Beagle mix 2 year old and to train me was and is outstanding. From a wild pulling strong willed pup to my compliant walking companion is miraculous. And accomplished simply with the gentle ‘tapping’ reminders, lots of love and encouragement and treat rewards. Thanks again all!

    My three year old Aussie went through their in person Platinum Elite Training Camp, she is dealing with a lot of reactivity and aggression and the whole team has made such an impact on her. Kevin, Andrea and Dennis were all so helpful with my dog Nova’s training, and mine! Nova is very selective with the people she likes and she gets excited whenever she sees any of the team from Dog Training Elite. I know we will have support when needed in the future and really look forward to ongoing group classes to help keep Nova properly socialized, obedient and happy.

    A huge Thank You to Kevin, Andrea and Dennis of Dog Training Elite Northeast Ohio for what they were able to accomplish in training my 5 month old pup Trace. In a very short amount of time all of my serious concerns were addressed. Their expertise was evident but more importantly to me was the kindness and care showed to both Trace and myself. I am so happy to have found them!

    The trainers at Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland demonstrated exceptional patience, encouragement, consistency, kindness, and humor throughout all of our in home training sessions. Our five year old doodle went from being reactive to most everything on walks and the TV to being an eager to learn and non-reactive pup. We enjoy our walks now and look forward to continuing our training with group classes.

    I cannot say enough great things about Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland (North Olmsted location)! The techniques work beautifully and we noticed a huge (positive) difference in our pups behavior after the first day of in-facility training. She has kept her spunky and unique personality but knows boundaries now. They gave us a way to communicate with her, which has brought us all closer... it's priceless! The whole operation is well organized and professional, and the team is kind, patient, accommodating and dedicated. They truly love what they do... and the proof is in the results. Our pup is happy, well behaved and thriving. My husband and I could not be happier with our experience!

    Just finished the extra outdoor session that is free once your dog finish the course. It was absolutely excellent. Not only to keep up with the training we learned, but to have my dog around other dogs who have been through the program to reinforce that learning was awesome. I am so impressed with this business & I really recommend this place for you and your family 🐶

    We were referred to Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland because of their expertise with rescue dogs and their support after formal training. We rescued our 3 year-old Golden Retriever from a puppy mill breeder and struggled with basic obedience training. Her lack of socialization was causing behavioral issues, and we needed help ASAP. We decided to enroll her in their 2-week camp, and we are thrilled with her progress! Before training, we were anxious about taking her outside, but just three weeks after camp, we're visiting parks and even letting her off-leash. Her leash reactivity has significantly improved, and we continue attending weekly group classes to further progress. We're incredibly grateful for the team's support and ongoing help!

    Dog Training Elite has been amazing. Everyone is so friendly and really listens to meet our dogs’ needs. Josh and Kevin are top notch. We had concerns with aggression and they really made us feel at ease and were so patient with all of our questions and concerns. They continue to check in after completing training.

    I can’t say enough good things about the Dog Training Elite program! The trainers were patient, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They didn’t just train my dog—they taught me how to communicate better with him, which made all the difference. Before training, Rolo really struggled with reactivity around other dogs. Taking him in public was unpredictable, stressful, and honestly kind of embarrassing. I couldn’t take him anywhere that had dogs that he didn’t know. He would bark, growl, lunge, and completely lose focus any time we saw another dog. I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know how to help him. That all changed when we started this training program. The trainers immediately understood Rolo’s behavior and worked with so much patience and care. They gave us practical tools and techniques that made sense, and more importantly, they worked. Throughout the training, Rolo became more calm, focused, and confident—and so did I. Now we can pass other dogs on walks without chaos, and I finally feel like I can enjoy time outside with him. It’s been an incredible transformation. I’m so proud of Rolo, and so thankful for the team that helped us get here. If your dog struggles with reactivity, don’t give up—this training truly makes a difference!

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland's service was heightened by the exceptional empathy, patience, and kindness exhibited by the trainer, whose firm guidance and encouraging words propelled our dog's progress in their Basic obedience lessons. With the guidance of a seasoned Dog behavior expert, our pup made remarkable strides, and we couldn't be more grateful for the support and understanding we received throughout the In home dog training process. Our dog Stella is very anxious around strangers and we were worried how she would get along. After a few days Stella was excited to attend the training. The staff was amazing and have a great balance of compassion and firmness. We are looking forward to group classes to better relieve Stalla's anxiety, and the in home visits really help in coaching my wife and I to keep the training going. Couldn't be happier with the results. Danny

    Josh and Lexi were amazing. I have a 1 year old golden retriever I thought untrainable just because he was so rambunctious. Not only were they able to work with me and Dune on training, Dune is now at the end training to become a therapy dog! I can’t not express how much they have worked with him as well as myself. I know have a well mannered dog. It is amazing. Thank you for all you guys do! We can’t what to go on our therapy journey. Cheryl
