I had the best experience working with Ali and my Zazu really loves her!!

My pup Echo was there over the holidays. Our follow up sessions with Ali have been great and we have finally found a system that helps Echo with her confidence.

Alina has been training both our high energy Labrador and all 4 of us dog lovers This puppy is at least my 12 th dog. German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Labradoodle, Chow,King Charles Cav etc. We thought we knew how to train well behaved dogs. Alina is taking us to a wonderful new level of training that will help make this ball of energy the best pet and family member ever!

Ali has been a fantastic guide in puppy training. Our dog looks forward to his training sessions with Ali and is always incredibly excited to see her. She is a pleasure to work with, and does an excellent job of coaching the humans to understand and support the pup in obedience.

I can't say enough enough good things about Ali. Thanks to her service dog training he's fully able to support me in the office. I was so impressed on my recent work trip to Abilene, during hours of meetings, he just lay calmly under the conference table. He's so well behaved and having him trained to assist me has improved my quality of life immeasurably!

Kai is learning so much! Alli has been absolutely a god send. She really knows her stuff. I definitely recommend Elite Dog Training!

At home personal training of our female lab rescue . Very helpful. Ali helped us to achieve our goals. We would like this dog to feel comfortable going places with us and meeting new people.

cannot say enough wonderful things about Ali and the incredible impact she has had on both my dog Louis and my life. From the very beginning with puppy training to now guiding us through service dog training, Ali has been patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and truly dedicated every step of the way. What sets Ali apart is not just her ability to train dogs, but her genuine care for both the dog and the owner. She has helped Louis grow into a confident, well-behaved, and reliable companion, and her guidance has been instrumental in life-changing experiences for me personally. Ali always takes the time to encourage, educate, and support us through every challenge and milestone. Her passion for what she does shines through in every session, and the bond and progress Louis and I have today would not have been possible without her. If you are looking for someone who truly changes lives through dog training, I wholeheartedly recommend Ali. We are beyond grateful for everything she has done for us.

Ali is professional, very knowledgeable and passionate about training my Sylvie. She’s patient and gentle with guidance both with me and my service dog in training. I have already recommended Ali and DTE to friends.

Ali saved our sanity. We made the slightly insane decision to bring a puppy into our lives while we had a baby on the way. Both my wife and I had over 10 years of dog ownership experience, so we thought we had it under control. What we quickly realized, though, was that while we could train our puppy to *perform commands*, we couldn’t get her to consistently *choose to listen*. For example, I previously took our puppy to a purely positive-reinforcement training school. When they taught “drop it,” the method was to always trade the dog for the item. I even asked the trainer about a concern I had: my previous dog learned that if she stole something, I would always trade her to get it back, so stealing actually became rewarding. The trainer’s response was simply, “You should always just trade.” That wasn’t what I was looking for. I wanted an obedient dog, not one that gamed the system. Working with Dog Training Elite and Ali completely changed things. Ali taught me the techniques and structure needed to develop a truly well-behaved, obedient dog. My 8-month-old puppy can now walk off leash with me something I never thought would be possible before. Can your pure positive reinforcement puppy do that? I AM A BELIEVER IN THE TECHNIQUES ENFORCED BY DOG TRAINING ELITE NOW, call me a convert. I want to call out that I had already put a lot of work into training my dog before meeting Ali, but what I learned is that every dog is different. Ali helped me understand how to properly reinforce training so the lessons actually stick. Ali — thank you so much. Daisy misses you already!

From Fearful Rescue to Confident Companion – Exceptional Experience in Frisco! I cannot thank Joseph and the team at Dog Training Elite Frisco enough for the transformation in my 1-year-old GSD/Lab mix, Lily. I rescued Lily at 4 weeks old, and despite my best efforts, she struggled with severe anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity toward people and other dogs. At 50 lbs, she was becoming impossible to walk, and I was truly worried she’d never be able to enjoy the world around her. After an insightful evaluation with Tra, we decided on the 2-week Board and Train. As a nervous dog mom, I was worried she would shut down, but Joseph was a godsend. To ease my anxiety, he provided daily pics and updates on her progress, which meant the world to me. Joseph didn’t just "train" her; he matched her energy, recognized her sweetness, and built her confidence from the ground up through discipline and engagement. He used creative training environments—like walks in the woods and outdoor sessions—to meet her exactly where she was. It’s clear Joseph views dog training as an art and is his passion; he invested so much heart into her, and the bond they formed was great to see. The "hand-off" was seamless. Joseph spent significant time showing me how to transfer those skills at home. Austin then provided the "missing link" with in-home reinforcement sessions. He was fantastic at coaching me to ensure I was executing commands the "right way" so Lily and I could have long-term success. Between the board and train and the group classes, Lily has become a thriving, loyal family companion. I have zero hesitation recommending Joseph for any Board and Train needs and Austin for expert in-home coaching. They didn't just train my dog; they empowered me to be a better owner and Lily a thriving, loyal family best friend!

We have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite! The center based training with Austin was very helpful with necessary basic commands, and the in home sessions with Ali were amazing with specific needs in our home environment. Their office staff, along with their trainers are wonderful and truly care about your pups well being!

Ali is an amazing trainer! She is so kind and patient. Ali has helped Daisy so much with her anxiety.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the training I have received so far with my dog saki! She did a two week in training facility followed up with several sessions with Tra. I am really pleased with the results I have seen so far. Saki is the sweetest dog but she doesn’t not do well meeting new people in my own home. She had even nipped a few friends. We have been able to work on that with her and I have learned how to help her be more calm and have less anxiety when meeting new people. Previous training groups basically said I would just have to put her in another room which didn’t work because she would just bark the entire time. Now I know how to get her to be quiet and it be peaceful even if she isn’t ready to meet the person yet. I really appreciate the free consultation provide because that made me decide immediately that Tra and the rest of the team were perfect for Saki. They are also very prompt with scheduling as well. Next step is working on big boy Bear and excitement around others! Will be working with them again in the future!

Off to a bit of a rough start being transferred between trainer. Then got Alina who earned my dog’s trust and now he loves lessons and works hard. We have made great progress and are almost ready for our trip to Utah. Cannot say enough great things about her.

Ali’s been great with me and my dog Spike, who has “reacted” negatively to people and other dogs, but he likes Ali (almost), as much as me, and that says a lot. Ali is good at communicating with both of us, and we’ve made significant progress with obedience and recall, and we’re working on getting Spike more comfortable around other dogs. I’ve been very happy with Ali as our trainer.

My puppy is currently being trained by Dog Training Elite, and our experience has been great. Ali is our trainer and she is phenomenal at what she does. My dog gets beyond excited to see Ali every single time she arrives for our sessions. She knows exactly what she is doing, is so loving with my dog but also gets him to do precisely what she wants him to do. It’s incredible to watch him work with her. You can tell she really takes pride in her trade and also loves dogs so much and truly wants to see the dog and their owner succeed in their training.

Ali has been awesome working with my mini dachshund, Lucia. From the beginning, she has been patient, intentional, and genuinely invested in helping Lucia grow. Lucia has made so much progress since working with her. Ali has been training her in service tasks, which is her specialty, and it has been amazing to watch Lucia build confidence and truly step into her work. You can tell Ali really understands how to train service dogs with clarity and purpose, and she takes the time to make sure both the dog and the handler understand what is being asked. Her group classes have also been such a great experience. They are challenging in the best way and push both the dogs and the handlers to think and stay engaged. She keeps everyone on their toes and creates real life scenarios that make a big difference in how reliable the dogs become. I am so grateful for the care, structure, positive energy, and knowledge Ali brings to her training. Lucia would not be where she is without her, and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for serious, intentional training.

The best! Ally turned our dog stubborn puppy into a compliant angel! Thank you so much. 💙💙💙💙💙

Jordan is one of the trainers that we worked with in training our Rottweiler, Naya. He used his Rottweiler, Atlas, to aid in the training of our girl. It was obvious that his dog was expertly trained. It was very impressive to watch him interact with him. Jordan was very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us immensely. Each session we had, I felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We could see progress very quickly in our Naya. I would and have recommended Jordan and DTE to anyone.
