I would like to provide a five-star review to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional training program offered by Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. My dog, Khloe, underwent training in Norwalk, CT, where she required obedience training prior to her service dog training. Jason, the trainer, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, effectively guiding my dog to successfully complete all necessary tasks for this process. The transformation in my dog’s behavior and performance has been significant. I am truly grateful for my decision to choose this company for my dog’s training, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you, Jason, for all that you have done for my dog.

I am very happy with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. Top 3 things I loved: 1) Their knowledge and experience made every session effective. 2) Their patience and consistency built real confidence in my dog. 3) Their professionalism and friendly communication made the whole process smooth. I highly recommend them for dog obedience training and puppy training classes—they truly are the best dog trainer in the area.

Wonderful experience working with Jason. Our dog, Ruby, learned quickly and looked forward to seeing Jason each week. He explained everything very clearly and made sure we were comfortable with the training to be done on our own during the week. In addition, he always says to call with any questions or concerns so you fell completely confident as you guide your dog to living their best trained life. We Thank Dog Training Elite for a great training experience for us and our dog!

Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was amazing. Jason, our trainer, was very knowledgeable and patient, working with each member of the family to make sure we understood the obedience training methods and psychology. The whole team was great when our dear puppy broke his leg and we had to work around his healing process. I also really appreciate how Jason would respond to texts and give us some extra things to try, like when our puppy regressed and started pooping in the house. Thankfully, Jason helped us turn that around within a few days! Kepler, our puppy, looooooves Trainer J, too. And he is a very happy, (mostly) obedient seven month old pup now after working Elite! We all look forward to some upcoming group sessions with Elite!

Jason was beyond superb. He never became annoyed or irritated by my failure to get my dog to do as instructed, even when I needed 6-7 times before the dog obeyed. He never made me feel incompetent-in fact, he instilled me with confidence that I could get the dog to obey. And I did! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Dear Dog Training Elite Team! I just wanted to say that, I really enjoyed working with you all.You trained my dog so well, and I absolutely recommend you to others.Also,Jason is an excellent professional!Thank you so much for your kind.😊😊

Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was nothing short of amazing! We originally sought out their help here in Newtown for diabetic alert training for our dog, Lucky, but we got so much more. Thanks to the dedication and personalized training from Jason, Lucky is now able to go everywhere with us, without any issues. ​We recently took a trip and received so many compliments on how well-behaved Lucky was. He was incredibly responsive to all his commands, including come, heal, sit, and lay. He stayed right by our side, even in new environments. Lucky was able to join in on all of our family activities, including going to restaurants, the beach, and even an arcade center! He laid patiently at my feet during meals and relaxed on a yoga mat at the beach. Dog Training Elite has truly given us the gift of being able to take our dog everywhere we go while knowing he is taking care of his responsibilities as a diabetic service alert dog. We are so grateful for all the work Jason put into training Lucky and for all the support provided by the entire team. We highly recommend them!

Loren and Jason went so above and beyond. From the actual training, to making accommodations when our pup got sick, I couldn’t recommend this organization more. Please bring all your dogs here!

Cannot say enough good things about DTE of Southern CT. Loren is prompt and courteous and Iliana shows a true love and commitment to dogs.

I adopted a dog that resided in a shelter for 6 yrs. Roy came from an abusive home and has many fears, anxiety and mistrust of people. I researched training facilities and chose Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. I liked the several levels of programs offered and the write-ups on the trainers. I've worked with Jason for the in-home sessions and have been very pleased with all the information and exercises he has provided to decrease the anxiety/fear/mistrust level. Within a few weeks of training my neighbors started noticing a difference in Roy. I'm looking foward to the group training sessions to continue my dog's journey on learning how to be a dog in the real world. The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provided top-notch training classes, delivering expert guidance and encouragement that will help my pup thrive with a seamless transition into correct canine behavior. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT

The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT is excellent. My dog showed amazing improvements from the first session. Jason is great at explaining her behaviors and how to quickly and easily correct them. I had a good dog, now I have a great dog. I would recommend them to everyone (and I do!).

Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was exceptional, thanks to their clear instructions, empathetic approach, and professional demeanor, which made the Puppy training classes a delightful experience for us and our new furry family member.

Dog Training Elite of Southern CT's staff is exceptional, offering patient, friendly, and supportive guidance that eased my concerns and helped my furry friend thrive in the pet trainingand obedience classes.

Jason is absolutely invested in training dogs and he is excellent at what he does. I highly recommend Jason and the team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT.

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!
