Thank you to Nathan and Clint! Tripp made a complete 180 in his obedience from his first class to only his 4th class. We look forward to his future progress with DTE!

I have had Clint and Nate come train my Grace. They are excellent at not only training Grace, but training me as well. I have had trainers before for other dogs and they no way compare to these two gentlemen. I would definitely and have recommended them.

Clint has been amazing, within the first visit I noticed a change in my puppy. With his knowledge and my practice she is showing great growth just within a few weeks. I cannot wait to see what the future brings. And to show her off!

Dog Training Elite NE Indiana has been an absolute godsend for me. I rescued a Staffordshire/Pitbull mix almost 2 years ago and only recently started seeing protective/aggressive behaviors that concerned me. My husband and I called and they set up a meeting. We ended up going with them, and I am SO grateful we did. I am ENJOYING walks with my dog (previously those were exhausting with pulling and fear of being able to control her). We can have people into our home and we actually worked through several of her unusual fear responses to different things in the home as well. I am SO proud of her, and SO THANKFUL that my husband and I made this investment into her for our family. I feel like these tools can be used for any other dog that we might get in the future, and having a lifetime of help with this dog is huge so that we can continue working on the commands that Dog Training Elite taught us.

Our experience with our St. Bernard was amazing! Nate was great with our girl Elly. She progessed from a crazy puppy to a well-behaved dog. I was not a fan of e-collars before this but I'm a believer now after being trained in how to use them properly. I would recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants a high quality experience with their dog.

Nathan is awesome! Banks learns from him every class and proves it. Now both of us are excited for walks and public outings, and even more excited to start group classes to further improvements. This program and Nathan are a definite game changer in Bank’s behavior and I don’t know what we would have done without it.

I ordered the Premium package and trained all 8 one on one sessions with Nathan. He was very intuitive and kind. His training and advice was very easy to follow and easy to execute and worked wonders. Hestia is a Rottweiler and prone to stubbornness but she has been following commands rather quickly with his help. This was my first time getting professional training for a dog and I really could not be happier with the results I've gotten from Dog Training Elite. I am very much looking forward to attending the group sessions held at my local parks and having a wonderful dog with excellent manners!

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite! We have seen a complete transformation in our Cleo! We recently adopted her from a local rescue group knowing she likely had survived some difficult situations. This resulted in her exhibiting a good deal of anxiety, reactivity, and aggressiveness, especially with strangers. We quickly realized video tutorials and online training classes were not going to be enough for us to help her unlearn the poor coping behaviors she had developed and we needed help. We were so happy to discover DTE! Clint and Nathan are amazing! From the moment Clint step into our house the first time, through each individual training session, and now the group classes, they both have shared their knowledge and skill to give us the tools we needed to help Cleo learn how to manage her anxiety and become a calmer, more pleasant and well-behaved pup. We saw positive changes in her immediately, and with regular, consistent application of the techniques they taught us, she is now a totally different dog. We couldn't be more pleased!

Dog Training Elite knows dogs! It’s that simple. They understand what it takes to help your dog become an obedient, loving companion. We used them for our adopted Elsie and she is doing great! Nathan was our primary trainer. He explained everything right from the start and throughout the whole process. He really helped us see that OUR learning more about Elsie’s innate characteristics helped us to participate in her successful training. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

Nathan was great! Our dog Rocky learned so fast and Nathan was very professional and friendly each visit. He communicated great with us and explained everything to us perfectly. Would definitely recommend their service to anyone needing their dog trained!

Please use this service if you are in need of a good dog trainer!!! Clint was so great working with my dog. She was very ill-tempered and suffers from separation anxiety. She had biting issues and was very temperamental to others and other dogs. When I inquired with other trainers they were not helpful and did nothing but throw kibbles on the ground. Clint on the other hand honed right on to the issues and helped me greatly when all other avenues seemed lost, especially when evening walking my dog was difficult. I was completely grateful for his fast service and the patience he had with my dog. Thank you Clint and Elite Dog Training for helping me and my dog!

My dog was very anxious about a lot of things. I tried independently to help him, but I wasn't getting results. This company has shown me techniques that have now gotten us to the point where my dog is getting so much braver. Nathan was patient and reassured me that even my dog, a little older, a rescue, and with severe anxiety, could be helped. He was right. I love that now that personal training is over, I can get in group classes, which helps my dog get more socialized and confident. I can email with questions that might come up. This is a great company.

Reviews & Testimonials

An obedient dog being trained in the community by Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana's local dog trainers.

Our Training Method

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
