Frequently Asked Questions

General

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.

We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.

Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.

Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Fort Worth.

To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.

Nope. Those are dangerous grounds to tread upon. We'd much rather train a vicious dog!

We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

Yes. Working with and controlling aggression is one of our specialties in Fort Worth.

We focus on training companion dogs for veterans and individuals with PTSD and other psychological conditions. In addition to service animals, we also train therapy dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment centers.

To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog's aptitude for service work for free!

Yes, we do offer personal protection training in Fort Worth.
To be a personal protection dog, your dog will need to have some "drives" that can be utilized for the work. Generally, prey drive is the key drive that we look for (ie, chasing a tennis ball or going after a tug), but there are several forms that we can utilize. Your dog does not have to be vicious! We want your dog to be a great family dog first, then we need its obedience perfected; only then will we work on personal protection. Of course, we would be happy to assess your dog for free!

Very informative and helpful when we wanted to introduce training to our new pup. Punctual and professional, our trainer Felicity was very knowledgeable and excited, to help ensure that we established a good foundation for our newest family member. Tips were very helpful and appreciated and would recommend them.

Our 16 month old German Shepherd, Cowboy, is a very energetic, crazy dog. He is our 3rd GSD, and completely different. We had tried two different dog training companies with little change in behavior. We found DTE and Tra came out for an evaluation and gave us hope. We liked that 3 different trainers came to work with us and Cowboy. Tori, Felcity, and Megan were all very knowledgeable, professional, loving, and so very good with Cowboy. Our last private lesson was a field trip to Lowe’s. We never thought we would be able to take our boy out in public. He was a perfect boy. We are so proud of him. Thank you to all the people at DTE for giving us the tools to have the dog we hoped for.

Felicity and Kyler were great! Our fiesty Doberman Bonnie has a whole lot of attitude and is too smart for her own good. We got the platinum training and started when she was about 4 months old. She is almost 1 and still doing wonderful! We had Felicity for most sessions, which was nice to have that consistency! Bonnie learned so much, and does so well in public. Teaching Bonnie all of her tricks at home alongside a trainer allowed us to be involved and learn how to reestablish behaviors/tricks as needed. Our golden retriever has also been able to pick up many of the skills and that has been a lifesaver. I love being able to walk them both around Scheels and other busy places while they’re in a focused heel. Everyone around us is always so impressed! We are excited to try the group training sessions with Bonnie soon!

The trainers here are so knowledgeable and can read a dogs body language so fast. They taught my dog commands in 5 minutes or less and showed me how to instill those. Highly recommend this place worth every penny. Felicity really knew my dog and went the extra mile with information to help Winnie the Pooh.

We love our dog, but he has always been a constant source of stress in our family because of his aggression, his inability to go on walks without creating havoc, and his propensity to run out of the house whenever the door opened up. We finally decided we had to get rid of the dog or get him trained. So we decided to give Dog Training Elite a call. Looking back, it was such a wonderful choice. After six individual training sessions, our dog is extremely well-behaved. He sits on command, he will “place” wherever we tell him to, he’s enjoyable to walk on a leash, he doesn’t attack other dogs or people, and he doesn’t run out of the house. We couldn’t be more pleased with the training staff of Tra, Felicity, and Yuni. The highlight of our experience was when we decided to take our dog with us to a hotel, and then out to dinner. Our son - who was back home from college and wasn’t a part of the training experience -thought we were crazy to even try to take our dog to a hotel and restaurant. But our dog did wonderfully and our son was very impressed with how well behaved the dog was. If you are at your ropes end and want to get your dog under control, give Elite a try… you will start to see immediate and dramatic results!

The team at Dog Training Elite have absolutely changed our lives. Felicity, Tre, and Kyler are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. On days when I thought my little rescue, Olive, couldn’t possibly learn a new command, they assured me she absolutely would… and she always did. Olive is a completely different dog from when we first started training. Her confidence has grown exponentially and we’re living a really happy life together. I cant recommend or thank Felicity, Tre, and Kyler enough.

Just completed our in-home sessions with DTE and have been so impressed with the individualized attention and customized approach that helped us meet our goals. All the trainers have been top notch and really helpful in assuring our newest family member (and us) are polished up on our manners so we can enjoy each other and life adventures. I must specifically mention Megan as a trainer whose passion and dedication did not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated. Mufasa and I are looking forward to our group lessons!

We've been working with Dog Training Elite Frisco for almost a year. Kyler and the team have been fantastic to work with in helping train my mom's service dog. Esper is a GSD, and started training as a puppy. She learned her basic obedience quickly with positive reinforcement and the techniques and tools DTE recommended. Quickly moving into her Service and Task training. Now a year later (actually less time) She passed her task training and public access test and goes with us everywhere. She is welcomed at restaurants, grocery stores, department stores, due to her great behavior and provides an invaluable service to my Mom. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Frisco, Kyler and the team there. Next up is our new 15 week old puppy who will be evaluated soon and start his puppy training.

We contacted Dog Training Elite to help us with Bean, our not so mini mini dachshund who wasn’t great with new people coming into our home especially men. As we are relocating overseas & only had enough time for 4 sessions, the best we hoped for was great advice that we could take with us & put into practice. 4 sessions later we are delighted not just with the advice but the incredible change in Bean’s behaviour! All we can say is a huge thank you to the team at Dog Training Elite not only for accommodating us with so little time but for setting us up to succeed with Bean. A special thanks to our trainers Kyler & Tra. You guys are amazing! Thank you!!!

Kyler

Lead Trainer

Hello, my name is Kyler. I've been working with family dogs since I was a teenager. After getting out of the U.S. Army I quickly got a German Shepherd named Sofia. As I was looking for another fulfilling career, I realized how much I fell in love with training dogs and quickly found the career I was looking for. While training Sofia to be my service dog I rapidly realized the importance of having a service animal and the benefits to which one provides. I am passionate and dedicated to training dogs and ultimately understand the importance of having a trained service dog.

Yuni

Trainer

Hey, I am Yuni. You will see me 99% of the time with my happy, energetic, sweet, Siberian husky Chance. My number 1 passion in life is helping others. I was looking for a new career after working in the health and fitness industry. On the hunt looking for something that was going to allow me to continue helping others I feel lucky to be a part of Dog Training Elite. I love dogs, and wanted to improve, repair, and strengthen the relationship between dogs and their owners. Seeing people have a more cohesive lifestyle with their dogs keeps me very motivated to do what I love every day. I want to give dogs a 2nd chance and help them stay out of shelters.

Tra

Trainer

Hi I’m Tra. I like to be a part of something that challenges me every day and keeps me on my toes, what better job for that than training dogs. I enjoy problem solving to help a dog understand and get on the same page as their owner. Never stand down from a troubled dog. I truly think all dogs can make a successful turnaround. I hope to meet you soon, I will have Rona in my passenger seat. She is my husky.

PS. She loves playing fetch.

Felicity

Trainer

Hi my name is felicity and I have been extremely passionate about dogs since I was young. I knew I had to do something regarding dogs when I grew up and training them just came naturally to me. I am blessed enough to work for dog training elite because they gave me the opportunity and tools to grow as a trainer with my own puppy Apollo.I love Being able to make a difference in the owner's and pets lives so they are able to live cohesive together it is my favorite part about this job!

Kelly

Trainer

Hi, I am passionate about helping others and saving dogs' lives through training. As the owner of 4 dogs myself, I understand the importance of having a well-behaved mannered dog. I hope to be a resource to our clients to facilitate the process of training and navigate through the challenges that may occur.
