Dog Obedience Training in Broward / Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.

I love my experience with them! They trained my dog very well! I highly recommend them. They truly care about their clients

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.

Ann Marie- has been an excellent trainer! She has provided great structure and education & lots of patience :) My dog has significantly improved in just a few weeks (and thats only the beginning). Totally recommend, especially if you're trying to get your animal trained as a Service Dog!

Marie and Matt have been absolutely amazing! Their depth of knowledge is truly impressive, and they’ve guided us with clear, effective strategies every step of the way. They are incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely care about our dog’s progress. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled trainers. They definitely treat Mateo like family ❤️

Dog Training Elite Broward is absolutely fantastic! Marie and Gus were professional, on time, and so friendly—they truly loved my dog and made the whole experience enjoyable. Working with them was such a pleasure. The skills my dog has learned on his journey to becoming a therapy dog are incredible and so helpful. The joy he now brings to others is all thanks to their expertise and dedication. Highly recommend!

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!

We have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite! From the free initial evaluation with Gus, to our weekly sessions with Matthew, each member of the team has been a pleasure to work with. Our dog has made tremendous progress with their help.

I cant say enough good things about Marie and the team. They are very knowledgeable and passionate. The quality of their training is fantastic. They listen to your dog’s needs and customize the training. We recommend them without reservation

(Translated by Google) Our experience as a family has been excellent. Kenai, our German Shepherd son, has progressed incredibly with this program. Gustavo and Marie are the best. (Original) Nuestra experiencia como Familia ha sido excelente. Kenai que es nuestro Pastor Aleman hijo ha avanzado increiblemte con este programa . Gustavo y Marie son los mejores

I am as IMPRESSED with their training ethics and professionalism’s as much as with their care, love, and dedication to each dog they train. ACE is amazing thanks to them! BOTH GUS & MARIE have helped me train my puppy since he is 3 months old and they are TOP. Their program is a super complete… He is now nine months and about to be certified. You get private classes, group classes each weekend and way more! Hands down the best of Florida!!!

Great professional trainers !

Our dog trainer, Matthew is a game-changer! He's transformed our puppy's demeanor, making her more confident and calm. His accommodating schedule and attentive nature made training a breeze. We're forever grateful for his expertise and kindness. Highly recommend him and the company, Elite Broward!
