    Dog Training Elite was professional, great to work with and got us on the schedule fairly quickly. We specifically worked with Nathan and he was very knowledgeable, patient and a great person to work with. Our giant schnauzer was causing us so much stress before, but after just a couple sessions we saw great improvement. Now, he has amazing recall and a lot more skills than before. Our house is now stress free and we have the tools we need to keep improving him. So thankful for Nathan and Dog Training Elite!

    Clint has done a great job working with Buddy. He explains things well and works through problems and obstacles. Would recommend to anyone needing finishing touches or a complete input into your dog. Great Job Clint!!

    I have a reactive dog, and I thought that our activities would always be limited by that. Even three sessions into training, I see a difference in my dog’s behavior. I can’t thank Nathan and the team enough for the amazing work that they do! I would recommend Dog Training Elite to everyone!

    Our trainer was Nathan, and he was beyond amazing, answered all of our questions and loves what he does! We thought it would take so much for our dogs to begin to listen or to follow these commands, and we did not realize it would only take the day of for our dogs to learn something Nathan had taught them, but with practicing everyday, they have only gotten better and we could not be more amazed by the experiences and everything we’ve been shown, I highly recommend dog training elite in general. Definitely worth it all😊

    Clint has been a game changer. Frank struggled with reactivity and behavior challenges, and the transformation has been incredible. He is calmer, more focused, and truly feels like a different dog. Clint gave me the tools and confidence to continue the work at home. Highly recommend.

    I signed my dog up for a 2 week board and train. At first I thought it was too expensive and excessive. But I did it anyway. I have absolutely no regrets! Leah has been absolutely amazing! She's very clear and concise in her communication. She doesn't just train the dog and send him home. She trains the owners as well, so we know how to continue the training once we get home with our dogs. I never thought that I could take my dog for a walk without a Gentle Leader and harness, in tandem. Today was his first day home from training and we went for our first walk together with just a slip leash. He stayed to my left, he didn't go after squirrels, he didn't go after Birds, he didn't bark at passerby's, or other dogs. He just walked calmly with me, peacefully. I can now use the grooming vacuum brush to remove the loose fur when he's shedding without him freaking out. He stays off furniture now. He understands where his areas are and where mine and he's respecting them. He doesn't run out the door anymore the second I open it. He is such a calm, peaceful, respectful, but yet still energetic, happy, and playful dog. I can't praise Leah enough for the work she did in just two weeks. She took an already amazing dog and made him so much better. She taught me how to be better as well. It's not all the dog. They are just feeding off of our energy. I've learned so much from her and highly recommend her to others, even if you just need a little tweak or a full remodel of your dog's Behavior patterns. She is absolutely amazing!

    DTE is such a wonderful program! Our trainer, Nathan, was fantastic and so kind to our puppy. We are so proud of everything she learned from the program in such a short amount of time. Thanks to Nathan’s training our dog is so much more obedient but still has the sweet puppy nature in her that we love so much.

    Training my miniature dachshund puppy was straightforward with Nathan. Well, as straightforward as training a dachshund can be ;) Since it was my first experience with a trainer, Nathan did a fantastic job in boosting my confidence, helping me support Vienna to be her best.

    We had Clint as our Trainer. He was great with my overly anxious loud dog. Took no time at all for Miley to realize there is nothing to fear. I learned not to just ask Miley to listen but to command her to listen. This made a huge difference. My family and my family friends have all notices she is much more calm when they are over. Would totally recommend!

    Amazing staff! We got our dog and he was about 7 months old was not confident due to his previous owners. After training not only does he do an amazing job at commands but he has so much more confidence in himself. We got a new puppy recently and she will be going thru the same training with them

    Our 2 year old coonhound is now listening better than we ever thought possible in just 5 sessions, all thanks to Nathan for providing us with the skills to properly train him. We recommend Nathan and his team at Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana to anybody in need of real, hands-on, applicable dog training. Worth every penny!

    At first, I wasn’t sure if this was something I wanted to do. But after training with Nathan and clint, it was definitely worth it! We have much more control over our dog. He listens so much better to us. So everyone is happy! And they gave us the tools for this to happen. We highly recommend Dog training Elite!

    My wife and I were very frustrated at home due to our resource guarding and reckless behavior. We reached out to Dog Training Elite and were impressed from the start. Within 1-2 seasons, our dog respected us much more. Nathan is an awesome trainer and is always flexible and willing to help. I would recommend them to anyone who is having troubles at home with their dog. This experience has been life changing and allowed us to enjoy time at home with our dog.
