    We're just getting started with DTE Broward but are so very happy with how the group classes are efficient, organized, well-run, and so very informational. The instructors are also the perfect mix of firm and patient. We've attended both the Thursday evening and Saturday morning group classes and you can see the difference in my 5-mo old dog immediately -- and we had the best time.

    Marie and her team guided me and my bernedoodle Boba through canine good citizen to service dog certification. They have a true love for and dedication to dogs, and were always prompt, communicative, and showed genuine care in training Boba.

    As the owner of a Belgian Malinois, I feel truly fortunate to be part of this group. The trainers have equipped me with valuable skills that make working with my dog both fun and rewarding. Beyond techniques, they’ve also given me the confidence to keep growing as a handler and inspired me to become better — for my dog and for myself

    Marie and her staff are amazing. She was able to take our Vizsla through a journey that started with a shy dog full of anxiety to a bold mature girl brimming with confidence and now able to go to the busiest of places and stay focused on her work. Marie makes an incredible effort to personalize the education specifically for the dog that needs training and has incredible patience with both the owner and puppy. Through the process I became much closer to Rosie and could not be any more proud of what she has become. I cannot say enough about Marie. She is dedicated to the work needed for the results desired.

    We started our service dog training with Dog Training Elite a year ago and let me tell you, we have a 1 year old dog that is highly obedient, loving, would never bite a soul and is task trained for my daughter. Not just that, included in their plans you get a weekly group session once your dog graduates from minor obedience training. My daughter enjoys the Saturday classes, seeing all the other dogs and being able to socialize with others which has been a challenge for her in her elementary years. If i get another dog i would definitely utilize their services.

    I highly recommend getting your dog trained by Marie and her team. Mila had so many bad habits like digging big holes in the back yard and not listening to basic commands. Marie lovingly put a stop to all of this and now I get continuous complements about how well mannered my dog is. I can take my dog so many places with confidence now as she is so calm and well behaved. I am so grateful I chose Dog Training Elite to work with Mila. Marie is a true dog lover and dog expert which is evident from the first moment you meet her.

    We adopted our fur baby, Charlie, back in March when he was just 2 months old. Wanting to start his training early, we reached out to Dog Training Elite Broward. From the beginning, the experience was outstanding, Gus came to our home to meet Charlie, and his knowledge and genuine love for dogs immediately gave us the confidence to sign up for the puppy program. Charlie’s first trainer, Nubia, was an absolute sweetheart. She guided us through the challenging early stages of potty training and teething with patience and care. Then we signed up Charlie for the progressed program, we began working with Matt, such a gentle soul with incredible patience and a clear passion for dogs. His calm demeanor and consistency truly helped us and Charlie build on those foundational skills. Both Nubia and Matt were flexible with their scheduling and always came to our home, which made the process so convenient for our busy lives. Now, as we approach the final stage we started the group classes, Gus is once again guiding us, bringing great energy, fun, and structure to each session. The classes are both challenging and enjoyable for Charlie, and we can truly see the results of all the hard work. We can’t recommend Dog Training Elite Broward enough! Charlie is still a work in progress, like any puppy, but visitors are always impressed by how well-behaved he is. Our investment in his training is definitely paying off, and we’re so grateful to be on the right path with such a fantastic team

    Dog Training Elite has been wonderful. We have very high standards for our adopted teenage soon-to-be service dog and her training has not disappointed. Gus did our assessment promptly, walked me through all the steps and different course options and promptly answered all my questions. He also paired me with Matt based on my and my dog’s specific needs. We now see Gus weekly at group class and he leads those in social settings. He has a way of exhausting the most active puppy while calmly walking in very busy settings. We love his classes at downtown Ft Lauderdale. Matt found a slightly anxious but sweet dog that had a lot of energy and enthusiasm to make friends which could be a bit intimidating to strangers. He shaped her to be a perfectly obedient dog who looks for my approval before approaching a stranger and asks for pets by politely sitting at their feet. Kygs is now well received at casinos, malls, grocery stores, and more. Marie is an excellent leader. She runs the weekend group classes and makes sure no dog is out of line. We have very high standards for our dog behavior and Marie finds a way to inspire to be even better. She evaluates every dog for their public access tests and gives us, the owners, invaluable feedback about our dog’s strengths and weaknesses as well as general things to look out for in dog behavior, body language and psyche. With Dog Training Elite Broward, you can rest assured that they meet all the requirements for certifications as they belong to a chain of training institutes. You don’t get one but three layers of trainers and reviewers giving feedback on your dog so if one technique doesn’t work for you, they will find something g that does. And most importantly, you get personalized responses because once you join, you get every person’s phone number. No call centers, no waiting on the line. Bottom line is: I have and would continue to recommend them to anyone who asks me for trainers, I will use them again if I get another dog and I will continue to promote and put in a good word for them. Feel free to ask for any questions about my experience with them!

Why Obedience Training is Essential

Read More
Read Less

Obedience training is an essential investment for dog owners, especially those who have never owned a dog before. Training is a fundamental step to rearing an intelligent and well-behaved dog. Without even basic obedience training, a dog will be unable to learn more advanced skills, safely leave the house, or go off-leash.

Benefits of obedience training:

  • Safety: Obedient dogs are less likely to engage in dangerous behavior, such as fighting, biting, aggressive barking, or running away. As they learn to trust and listen to their owner, they will respond to commands and stay calm in threatening situations.
  • Socialization: Puppies must be socialized with other dogs to know how to positively interact with other animals and people. Without socialization, they begin to look at animals and people as threats, which leads to unsafe behaviors.
  • Behavior: Nondangerous but unwanted behaviors such as barking, pulling, jumping, and begging can all be minimized with proper obedience training.
  • Confidence and stability: When properly trained, dogs will become more confident, and comfortable in all different environments. Dogs will be more trustful while interacting with new environments and take away the stress of bringing them out with you.

Effective Training Through Positive Reinforcement and Classical Conditioning

Our Obedience Training Methods

Read More
Read Less

The goal of obedience training is in the name–training a dog to obey commands reliably. Obedience training for dogs can be lengthy and requires repetition, consistency, and positive reinforcement to achieve lasting results.

This training involves teaching a puppy or dog basic commands like sit, come, heel, or down. Dog Training Elite trainers also use obedience training to teach commands more unique to your situation.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Desired behaviors can be encouraged with positive reinforcement and reward-based training. Rewards satisfy your dog's natural desire to please and create a strong bond between dog and owner.
  • Customized Approach: We recognize that every dog is different, from breed to temperament, and because of that, they may be predisposed to certain behaviors. After meeting your dog, we will customize a training plan to meet their unique needs.
  • Professional Trainers: Dog Training Elite has highly experienced trainers who prioritize building trust between dog and owner. With years of experience to draw on, they successfully use communication and patience to get the behavioral results you want for your dog.
  • Long-Term Results: Our training methods are designed to produce lasting behavioral changes in dogs of all breeds and ages. Consistency and repetition are necessary for proper obedience training, but when you commit to training, you will be impressed with the results.

Common Questions About Obedience Training

Still have questions about obedience training? We’ve got you covered! Below are some frequently asked questions that might help clarify any remaining concerns you have. At Dog Training Elite Broward, we're here to ensure you and your dog have the best training experience possible.

The earlier, the better. Puppies are welcome! That being said, old dogs truly can learn new tricks - there is no reason an older dog can’t learn basic commands.
Besides basic commands, dog obedience training can address issues such as chewing, whining or barking, jumping to greet others, and begging for food.
No. Pain or punishment is never used in any form during training programs. The electronic collars we use produces a gentle “tug” to get a dog's attention. It is not a shock collar and does not harm or alarm a pet.
In-home training is necessary because it allows trainers to focus on the particular issues of individual dogs (like terrorizing a pet cat or chasing the mailman). During in-home training sessions trainers also work side by side with owners and any other family members so the dog understands who is in control.
