    We’ve had such a great experience with Dog Training Elite and our trainer, Beth! About a year ago, we tried working with another trainer, chose strictly because of the cheaper price, but we felt like we didn’t get anything out of the experience. This time, we knew we wanted to invest in our dog’s training and find the right support for her needs, and we’re so glad we did! We’ve completed our first five in-home training sessions with our 2-year-old blue heeler, and the progress she’s made has been amazing. We originally started training to help with her anxiety, and Beth has been helping us build her confidence by going back to the foundations and strengthening her obedience skills. Beth is incredibly communicative, always checks in to see if we have questions, and provides written instructions so we know exactly what to practice at home between sessions. We really appreciate how much guidance and support she gives us throughout the process. We’re excited to continue with our public training sessions and group classes and see how much more progress our girl makes. Highly recommend Beth and Dog Training Elite!

    Our puppy, Skye, is in their service dog training program and loves it there! The trainers are very knowledgeable and always willing to explain things further if need be. They have been a joy to work together as a team to set Skye up for success to be a great service dog for my son! I highly recommend them!

    What a fantastic experience for our dog. This training truly changed out dog and because of that, really improved so much about our life. Walks were so difficult - so much pulling, jumping on people and other dogs; we started getting a bad name in the neighborhood. Dog Training Elite helped us so that now walks are so much more enjoyable and fun. We are so grateful!

    DTE has worked with me on training my PTSD Service Dog. Kyle is a fantastic trainer and understands my boy Jake, helping Jake understand the expectations and how to meet them. An important part of training is teaching me those same skills so Jake understands my needs and expectations.

    Good night at therapy dog class at the airport! Having been there before I knew what to do with Elijah playing support role. He did help me work with Oakley on exiting elevators which was greatly appreciated!!!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We cannot say enough amazing things about Dog Training Elite Hill Country! They did an absolutely incredible job with our Bernedoodle, Nala Gene! 🐶❤️ We are beyond happy with the results and so grateful for the time, patience, and dedication Gray and Garrison put into training her. It’s clear that they truly care about the dogs they work with and want to see them succeed. We have seen such a positive difference in Nala Gene, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely cares, provides excellent training, and delivers amazing results, we HIGHLY recommend Dog Training Elite Hill Country! Thank you for everything you’ve done for our sweet Nala Gene🐾💕

    Parker has a true tale t for working with dogs. He came for a consultation and showed me a demonstration with his dog Nash who was amazing and so cute. Then he worked with my dog Mabel for just a few minutes and she was following his commands. Great!

    I am so grateful that I found Taylor 6 months before I adopted my 6 month old Belgian Shepard, Arlo. After I completed some positive reinforcement training, I realized I would need an alternative training method due to his high prey drive. Taylor is beyond knowledgeable about dog body language and behavior, and he will give you all the “tools” necessary to train your dog alongside him. If you are frustrated with your dog’s behavior and have altered your home/daily routine due to it, reaching out to Taylor will be the best choice you ever make. As a first time dog owner of a notoriously difficult breed, I worried that I would have a dog that matured beyond my control. The minute I entered the elite dog training program and completed our first in home training session, all of that worry dissipated. Although we are still completing the group training sessions, at 11 months Arlo is able to walk off leash on trails, is able to control himself around animals like deer and squirrels, and is able to walk past people and dogs without reacting. Training with Taylor has given Arlo and I the gift of freedom, and a much more fulfilling life together.

    So far so great. Our dog seemed to like her first lesson with Justin. He gained her confidence slowly which I liked. We are looking forward to a calmer lifestyle now. Thank you Justin!

    We participated in both the in home and group training, and found the team to be exceptionally skilled at working with our dogs. Over the course of their training (and ours) we have seen tremendous growth and discipline. The trainers are amazing and our dogs love them, and so do we. Highly recommend.

    We did the training camp and are now starting the group lessons. The arrangements are not cheap, but the instructors are very helpful and always willing to listen. McCall helped us with additional requests for other commands, especially drop it. We're comfortable with the investment because for the price, we're buying a lifetime of support. ADDENDUM: Meggie came to our house today and did our first in house visit today. She was fantastic - very calm, unrestrained, and our dog took to her quickly. We really alleviated the home visit and will need to work on the homework to ensure things stick.

    Highly recommend Matt, Alaina, Becky and Alex. What a great team. We completed puppy training and then Therapy Dog training. I also have to give credit to Alicia for keeping everything and everyone organized. What a great and truly caring dog loving team.

    Alex Price impressed me very much, breaking thru to my German Shepherd “puppy,” when other trainers were not successful. I have a very very big, very smart, very stubborn 6 mo old German Shepherd, acquired as rescue of sorts. He will outweigh me before full grown - so i totally need him well trained. Alex dedicated the time and patience and his dog whisperer nature to gain the trust and respect of my fur baby. He also trained me very well and left me detailed instructions for homework. Very happy customer and would recommend Alex Price to anyone.

    Michael Kwan is an exceptional trainer, and we couldn’t be happier to have him as our training partner at Dog Training Elite Austin. He is incredibly knowledgeable, polite, and patient, not just with our pup, Maxx, but with me as well. Maxx has grown leaps and bounds under his guidance. Seeing how well he responds to Michael’s methods has us seriously considering taking his training all the way to service dog level. If you’re looking for high-caliber, structured training, I can’t recommend Michael and Dog Training Elite Austin enough!
