    A positive experience from the first point of contact - responsive, courteous, professional. I rescued a NYC dog who had a lot of baggage, none of which is her fault, but I needed a very experienced trainer and my research found Jason and Dog Training Elite. Thankfully, they could come to me across the state. Pearl's training has been specific to her needs and our needs as owners. Jason teaches you how to set your dog up for success while adapting to your home and your lifestyle. It is not a one size fits all solution. In my case, Jason has taught me how to train Pearl, it is not just him working with Pearl - so I have become a more confident handler and a better leader for Pearl. We are BOTH happier thanks to our sessions. For Pearl, it is a marathon, not a sprint, and I'm grateful that I have Dog Training Elite on our side - I feel comfortable reaching out for guidance and advice outside of our sessions. I recommend them to anyone who wants to help their dog be the best they can be. Thank you, Jason & Team! Jennifer, Granby CT

    When I adopted Milo, he had severe separation anxiety, leash issues, and would bite when upset. I couldn’t leave the house for over a month. Iliana was patient, kind, and professional. In just a few sessions, Milo is now great on walks, less reactive, and I can finally leave the house stress-free. I’m so grateful—highly recommend her!

    I would like to commend Jason for his exceptional assistance. When my dog Bo began exhibiting signs of reactivity towards other dogs, I reached out to Dog Training of Elite Southern CT. Jason provided me with valuable strategies and guidance to help Bo feel more at ease and reduce his reactivity. I am eager to begin my group class sessions!

    Outstanding Dog Training Experience! Dog Training Elite of Southern CT has completely exceeded our expectations! From the very first consultation, his professionalism, knowledge, and passion for dog training were clear. Jason is not only highly skilled, but also incredibly kind, patient, and dedicated to helping both dogs and their owners succeed. Our dog showed remarkable progress within just a few sessions—behaviors we thought were unchangeable quickly improved thanks to their personalized approach. What makes them stand out is how much they focus on building a strong bond between you and your dog through trust, structure, and positive reinforcement. They were always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt confident every step of the way. The in-home training option was a game-changer for us, and their follow-up support has been phenomenal. If you're looking for results-driven, compassionate, and professional dog trainers, look no further than Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. Highly, highly recommend!

    Illiana at Dog Training Elite has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She has come to my house in East Haven CT for several one-on-one trainings. Illiana is extremely knowledgable, and is always in an enthusiastic mood that really proves her passion for what she does. Before training with Illiana, I reached a point where I was unable to safely walk my overly excited STRONG and stubborn dog, Baker. Illiana provided the tools, directions, and patience to correct this behavior. I have also attended a group training with Jason, and could not recommend them both enough. Having the opportunity to train Baker with other dogs in a safe (and still personal) setting, taught myself and Baker skills I didn't even know he needed! I strongly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT.

    The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was supportive, with excellent communication and helpful in figuring out what kind of program I needed. Trainer Jason listened to my expectations and successfully guided me in achieving good obedience training with my 8 month old puppy. We had 5 private sessions, both at my house and outside, and now I’m looking forward to joining the group sessions. I’m very happy with the results that provided me with a new bonding experience with my puppy. Thank you Jason and Dog training Elite of Southern CT !

    We've had a great experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. We have a rescue dog that has a lot of anxiety, and Jason provided us with guidance about how to give him more confidence. Jason was great about answering our questions, and provided a good mix of behavioral analysis and hands on training.

    I have had only three private lessons, at my home and cannot express how Elite’s techniques has helped me train my rough collie. Jason and his team knowledge of the different breeds of dogs and the use of that knowledge to help me with techniques of owning a herding dog. They taught me techniques you can not learn on your own by getting to know my dogs living environment and my desire for Finnegan’s obedience training. All in my home within the distractions Finnegan deals with and I needed to understand to achieve obedience. I cannot praise their knowledge, care and thoughtfulness and it is proven in a short time. My fellow dog walkers, neighbors, expressed how much Finnegan has learned with this one on one in home training approach. I am thankful and highly recommend dog elite training. They even traveled to Woodbury CT for my one on one lessons. Thank You Jason, Loren and your team.

    We were almost at the point of looking for a new home for our dog..until we found Dog Training Elite services of Southern CT. In the past, we've worked with a number of well-regarded local dog specialists, sadly without much progress. After an in-home evaluation and a full session with the Dog Training Elite team, we quickly determined a plan for managing our dog's high anxiety and addressing his aggressive behavior. The trainers at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT helped us expand our training options, that yielded amazing results. They were prepared with many ideas to consider, to try and helped us 'see' and 'mark' our dog's positive behavior. We jointly figured out what works better, and made both a short and longer term plans to work on. We are looking forward to continuing group sessions and expanding our dog's social circles in Fairfield and beyond. This has truly become a life-changing process for our dog and us! Thank You!!

    The staff at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT consistently demonstrated a supportive and knowledgeable approach to pet training and obedience, providing expert guidance throughout Marco’s behavior modification journey. Jason's patience and understanding allowed me to build a strong bond with my dog and confidently apply the techniques I learned during in-home dog training sessions in Norwalk, ultimately transforming our lives with anxiety-free walks with our calm and well-behaved Pup.

    We contacted Dog Training Elite just a few days after adopting our very sweet but very large one year old dog, Rusty, and are so glad we did. We’ve worked with both Jason and Illiana and can’t say enough good things about our experience with them. Rusty came to us with little to no structure in his world and some agent-of-chaos energy but we could tell he was ready to learn, and we were eager to start his training right away. Having Jason and Illiana in our home to help get us on the right track with training has made a world of difference for all of us and has helped us bond quickly with our lovable but energetic boy. Each session they’ve been able to directly address and help problem solve anything that’s come up as we’ve gotten to know Rusty’s personality and quirks a little more. Their instruction has been clear, simple, and easy for us to follow on our own. If anything isn’t working for Rusty or for us, they help us incorporate different techniques until we find what clicks. We have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a dog trainer in southern Connecticut!

    I can’t recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT enough! From the moment they arrived at my home in Trumbull, CT, I felt confident that both Althea and I were in great hands . The trainer we have been working with is beyond patient and has given me great tips to set me up for success for taking the therapy certification test we are working towards passing. It is clear that she is passionate about working with dogs and their owners towards building a trusting & loving bond! I saw massive improvements after only two visits and always look forward to what we will work on next. The company has always made scheduling easy and made me feel supported the entire time! I can honestly say we will maintain an ongoing relationship with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT and continue to work towards new training goals in our future!

    The trainers at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT went above and beyond to ensure our dog received top-notch pet training and obedience. We have two golden retrievers that are wonderful dogs but lacked any structure. After a few sessions with Jason they are incredibly well behaved but just as fun loving as ever (and they seem genuinely happier). The training was very well thought out and we could practice during the week. We now feel comfortable bringing the dogs on walks in the mall and all around New Canaan. We could not be happier. thank you !!!

    Jason came to my home in Guilford to help train my 10 month old puppy who had developed anxiety about going for walks. He gave me the tools to help her overcome her fears and we also worked on general obedience training, recall, and heel which have been amazing. I told him I was only interested in using a positive reinforcement approach and he encouraged it and helped me understand the benefits and scenarios of both methods, which was really helpful. Thank you Jason and Loren!
