    I can’t say enough good things about Kais service animal trainer, Dominique! She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always takes the time to answer all of my questions. She’s also so patient—especially with me honestly, sometimes I feel like I need more training than Kai does! Dominique is always responsive, helpful, and truly cares about the process. Overall, it’s been such a great experience with zero complaints. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a service animal trainer! Kai has made so much progress thanks to her guidance, and it’s clear how much dedication and passion she brings to her work. You can tell she genuinely wants both you and your dog to succeed. I feel so much more confident moving forward, and I’m beyond grateful we found her.

    Chester, the dog, and I, the person, are both learning a lot. Chester clearly wants to learn and seems to be happy to know what I want from him. We have only had 2 training sessions but he is already so much better. He will settle into his "place" and wait to be released which is WAY better than the old jumping on neighbors when we would stop to talk. and his "come" is MUCH more reliable. Michael, our trainer, tunes into Chester and makes me feel really comfortable with the e-collar. I am confident Chester will be the "very good boy" he wants to be through this training. and I will be the best dog-mom I can be.

    Hailey has been amazing helping us learn to work with our young dog. I could not recommend this training method enough. Having off leash control has been life changing for us and our family.

    Hailey is amazing. Our beagle went from wild and insane to actually trained and polite. The e-collar really makes all of the difference too. Training a beagle puppy (7 months old) is not easy, and Hailey truly made it all possible. We plan on continuing with more training. I highly recommend her, even with the most difficult dogs. She’s so smart and confident and I instantly trusted her knowledge.

    I’m applying so many great things I’m learning from Annabelle towards the training of my dog, Sercy. A couple of years ago Sercy had boarding/training with another company. It proved unsuccessful because I wasn’t able to attend the sessions due to the travel distance. Now, with Dog Training Elite, I am doing it the right way!

    Trainer Rhett does an awesome job with explaining the program and tailoring to the specific needs of the pup and client. He is really good at breaking down the instructions with the e-collar, explaing command expectations, and boosting the confidence of the client and of the pup. My once fearful dog and my worried self now know how to handle the challenges ahead.

    Ramiro and his team were extremely knowledgeable and educational throughout the entire training process. We were dealing with resource guarding with our golden. They went above and beyond, even scheduling extra sessions with us for help. We were more than happy with the training we received and Goose seems like a much happier dog being able to control his emotions correctly. We will be recommending any future dog owners to Dog Training Elite!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edited to add: After a year of continued group classes, I can confidently say this has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Lyra’s obedience, focus, and reliability in real-life situations are night and day compared to where we started. Beyond that, having a well-trained dog has made a huge difference in my own mental well-being because taking an untrained dog out & about is stressful & DRAINING! But now, it’s goal-oriented & FUN! Michael and Gosia continue to be knowledgeable, supportive, personable, and truly invested, and the group classes have been invaluable for ongoing progress. This has been worth every single penny. If you are looking for a sign to pull the trigger, this is it!! Original post: We have had an amazing experience working with Michael and Gosia during our Platinum program for our puppy, Lyra. Their training methods are highly effective—we’ve seen noticeable improvement in Lyra’s reactivity, and she’s become much more obedient. Michael and Gosia are incredibly personable, always on time, and very communicative throughout the process. They genuinely care about the success of both the dog and the owners. While training can be an ongoing process & we know we still have work to do in the group classes ahead (which are included with platinum pkg), we are so grateful for the strong foundation they’ve helped us build and cannot wait to continue improvement. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable and reliable trainers!

    I have a very nervous 1.5 year old chihuahua, rat terrier mix that suffers from fear based reactivity. Over the last year, we have tried medications, CBD and other training courses with no change in behavioral habits. We just finished week 5 of our training with Dog Training Elite and the results have been significant and noticeable to both us and others within our circle. Shelby and Danielle were great to work with and I highly recommend their training programs!

    Dog Training Elite has been a Godsend for my rottie pup GiGi and me. A 100 pound 10 month old is a lot of puppy! The training collar and their training of me is what really works. You get so much more than what you pay for! I recommend!
