The Benefits of Puppy Training

Read More

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.

    Anuj, was very professional and knowledgeable.

    Working with Anuj has been incredibly helpful. We have learned a lot about how we interact with our dog and how our dog has become boss of the house. We are undoing that behavior with each lesson. A couple of lessons in and there is already a significant change in his behavior.

    We had an aggressive male and female that started fighting after a year of being together. We hired Dog Training Elite and it's like night and day. He is training us on how to train our dogs. Thank you!

    Our first experience with Anuj and the DTECB team has been nothing short of amazing. We just completed day one and there is already a major difference in our pups behavior. Very insightful, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

    We recently added a second Belgian Malinois to our family, and just like the first one, she’s super energetic and requires a ton of attention. We’ve used other trainers in the area before, and while they were all good, none have matched the quality of Dog Training Elite. We opted for the platinum package along with the service training, and we couldn’t be happier with our trainer, Grayson. They’ve exceeded our expectations, and the group classes they provide for socialization have been incredibly helpful in addressing the aggression issues we faced. Today, we took our puppy to a store for the first time, and she walked right beside me without a leash, completely unfazed by distractions. She followed all the commands perfectly and did an outstanding job. Update: We have successfully completed the service dog course. We could not be more happy with the professional trainers at Dog Training Elite they have gone above and beyond and have turned our crazy Belgian into an amazing service animal. I’ve used other trainers for other dogs and none of them come close to Dog Training Elite.

    Grayson from Dog Training Elite of Coastal Bend did a masterful job training my schnauzer mix and teaching me to train. We were both pleased with each training session. Grayson gave me sound advice and my overall experience was awesome. I understand my dog better and she is responding well despite being a nationaly sruboorn breed. Highly recommend.

    Grayson was great! He is knowledgeable and friendly and my dog, Scout, loved him! He takes time to demonstrate each new command and gives feedback on my attempts. My dog and I both look forward to each lesson with Grayson and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a trainer!

    DTE was great. I contacted them and they wrte able to come out very quick for the initial evaluation. Grayson was the trainer that came out and was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and I feel would be a great asset in the training for me and my little boy Hook. I look forward to the future.

    LWe had our first meeting with Jessica to learn more about the different training programs servuce dog certification and pricing. She was SUPER friendly and had an answer to every single question we had. We were concerned about payment flexibility and she informed us they do different payment plans and options. We were able to figure out a plan that fits our financial capabilities! We can't wait to start our journey and begin working with the Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend team!! They also offer a military discount which is super awesome!! EDIT: First meeting and training session with Grayson, super professional and helpful with our concerns and teaching us the commands to get our dog Daisy to stop things that are not acceptable and how to use the e collar. We are so excited for our next training session and to continue our journey with this amazing company!!

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.
