Group Sessions

Please Note: Group Classes are for Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin Clients Only


Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin offers private dog training classes after obedience training is completed and only once a puppy is fully immunized. Dog obedience classes are held on a consistent basis and are included in most packages. Our dog obedience training classes are designed to place yourself and your dog in public places (surrounded by other dogs, people, smells, and sounds), so that you can train your dog to obey you... regardless of the many distractions screaming for their attention!

Group Class Information

Please make sure to bring your e-collar, 4-ft. leash and prong collar (optional). We will always have water available on site.

Dog Training Elite knows dog training is truly a lifelong pursuit. As your puppy or dog masters the basics, you can move onto more complicated tricks and training.

It can be hard to come up with new ideas to train your dog, and after months of having structured training one-on-one with your pet it can be especially difficult to know what to do next. What will benefit both you and your dog the most?

    Dog Training Elite was amazing with our 5-year-old Springer Spaniel, Finn! From the very beginning, he connected instantly with Marcy, which made the entire training experience even more effective and enjoyable. Honestly, Finn caught on quickly—it was us humans who needed the most guidance! Marcy was incredibly patient, kind, and full of knowledge. She not only helped Finn improve his behavior but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. We’re so grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate trainer.

    Dog Training Elite and Marcy? Awesome! We've been super happy with our experience at Dog Training Elite, and especially with our trainer, Marcy. We brought Kramer in because his recall was a bit of a nightmare, and he was really into jumping on people. Honestly, thanks to Marcy's hard work and knowledge, Kramer's like a whole new dog! Marcy seriously went the extra mile. She spent tons of extra time with Kramer, making sure he really got what she was teaching. Plus, she made sure we understood how to keep up the training at home. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs and their families. And her flexibility with scheduling and how she approached things made everything so much easier for us. Kramer's listening way better now, and his recall is awesome. We're still working on the jumping, but it's definitely much better than before. Overall, he's just a happier, more well-behaved guy. If you're looking for a dog trainer who's patient, knows her stuff, and really invests in your dog's success, you absolutely have to check out Marcy at Dog Training Elite!

    We feel so lucky we found Elite Dog Training NE. Our Rocky got so big so fast, he became unmanageable in our day to day life. Marcy was (and continues to be) a lifesaver in our Rocky adventure story. She is kind, patient, and always left us feeling confident that we CAN control our dog in any situation. Her approach to "training" is rooted in teaching the animal first, then holding them accountable for what they know. His biggest challenges were extinguished at our first session. Parts of the training process are hard and emotional, much like parenting...but the outcome has been so worth it. She always made sure we felt good about our progress and adjusted as needed. I have never witnessed this level of humanity placed on both the animal and the owner and it is truly amazing. We have since formed a more loving bond with our dog and wish everyone got the opportunity to experience life with a trained dog!

    We had a great experience with Dog Training Elite. Marcy was very knowledgeable, patient and kind. We saw a huge difference in behavior in our little 6 pound Shih Tzu mix after only one session. After six sessions we have a calmer and more obedient dog. Thanks so much Marcy. You were wonderful.

    Ramiro is an effective and efficient trainer and clearly understands dogs behavior. Both of our dogs, young and old, finished with strong responses to commands. Ramiro designed our dogs specific needs for our rural home and trained both my husband and me to carry on at the end of our program. It was a really successful experience because we feel well trained as well as our dogs.

    We absolutely loved working with Elite. We started with puppy training and moved into the obedience training. From our first consult to our last training session we felt confident in the Elite staff. Our puppy Jemma enjoyed her time with our trainer Marcy and they made a nice connection. Marcy was an absolute delight to work with. Marcy’s Patience and the ability to make every session a positive and upbeat learning experience for both of us. We completed our last private session today and look forward to our upcoming group sessions. Elite dog training is definitely worth the investment in our new family member.

    We are so happy with the results of this training! After 8 lessons, Bella is calm in public now and fun to take on walks! She comes when we call her and listens so much better! Ramiro was kind and professional and did a great job teaching my husband and I how to use the training tools. Worth the investment! We highly recommend this dog training!

    AMAZING!! We are working towards therapy dog certification and this program has been the answer! Ramiro has helped us immensely and in a few short weeks we’ve seen such progress. Dog Training Elite is a must for anyone wanting to train their pup!

    Training with Ramiro has been great. He was able to come to our home where Mochi had some unpredictable behaviors and give us training exercises we can continue to utilize. Mochi has gained so much confidence and so have we! We’ve also learned training techniques we can use for our other dogs. We’re really excited to get started in the group classes and continue to build on what we’ve learned this far!

    We are so pleased with the training we received for our dog Stella! My fiancé and I signed Stella up for training after experiencing some reactivity toward my dog as well as on walks. Before we started training, we were on edge a lot because we never knew when Stella might show aggression toward my dog. I also didn’t feel comfortable walking Stella by myself because of her leash manners and reactivity toward people and other dogs on walks. Each week we worked with Marcy on teaching our dog some basic commands and how to correct unwanted behaviors. Marcy did a great job explaining to us what we needed to do and why. We have seen such an improvement with Stella! We know how to handle different behaviors now and I am able to take her on walks independently which I didn’t think would be possible. The training was so worth it, we would definitely recommend Dog Training Elite!

    We had an incredible experience with the entire team at DTE. Our trainer Marci was amazing to work with and talk things over each week. Very understanding and always had great insight and tips to handle any issue we threw at her. The process works wonders if you want it to work and put the time in during the week while the trainer isn’t with you. We loved our experience and are already looking forward to the free group classes to keep learning more.

    We have a 10 month old Doberman named Tito that started showing signs of aggression and reactivity with other dogs and people. We were frustrated and in desperate need of training for Tito and for ourselves as well. Our training experience with Ramiro exceeded our expectations with the very first lesson. He made everything fun and easy for us in our home and made sure we were set up for success. Tito has showed so much improvement, but consistency is key. We look forward to doing the work, and starting group classes. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Green Bay for your training needs. Mark and Nicole Dorn Appleton

    Dog training elite is a must for all dog owners. We adopted a very shy puppy from the humane society and she would barely get out from underneath the kitchen table. We worked with Stephany, Ramiro, and Hannah during our Platinum Package and it was with every penny. Our little girl now sets the standard for any four legged friend we may ever have. I would highly recommend them and your dog is worth the investment. You and your friend will be very happy with the results. ROXY gives the service 4 paws up.

    We just finished a GREAT training course for our “too smart” blue heeler. Finding the right program for her was our biggest concern. And with a young family at home, we had to get it right the first time. Ramiro was great with her. He knew exactly how she needed to be trained to get the best results out of her. Each class was more for us and what we needed to do, than for her. We left each class impressed with our teamwork and the growing strength of our bond. He showed us how to work with her intelligence and kept her engaged the whole hour. She is already a new dog after 6 short weeks. He gave us all the tools we needed to continue her future training. We are very thankful for Dog Training Elite for showing us what she’s capable of and giving us one less thing to stress about.

Building Social Skills and Community

Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, and we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing.

We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog Owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

Signs Your Dog is Ready for Training

Read More
Read Less

Every dog can benefit from training, and it can sometimes be a lifelong pursuit. If you’re wondering if training is right for you, here are some signs your dog is ready for training:

  • Your Dog is Destructive: Whether it’s chewing on furniture or shoes, going to the bathroom in your house, or anything else your dog is not supposed to do -- it’s time to get them trained out of these sorts of behaviors. Even older dogs who were previously well-behaved may develop bad habits later in life and need a training refresher.
  • Your Dog is Aggressive: Aggression can manifest itself in multiple ways; perhaps your dog growls or snaps at you when you get close to his or her food, or toys. Even more concerning is when your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans. Yes, sometimes dogs play in a way that seems aggressive, but if your dog is lunging at or snapping at people or other dogs while you’re on walks, it’s time to get a trainer’s help.
  • Your Dog Misbehaves on Their Leash: Walking nicely on a leash does not come naturally to most dogs but it is something that can be learned. Again, even older dogs who previously walked well on a leash may start to act out.
  • Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful: If your dog is dealing with severe separation anxiety, or is fearful in new environments, a trainer can help. For separation anxiety a trainer will work with you and your dog on a routine to reassure your dog. General training, especially in group classes, can help dogs build confidence.
  • Your Dog Ignores You at the Park: Or on walks, or whenever you’re outside. If your dog is obedient when they’re in your home, but loses their mind outside, he or she would benefit from more training. Group classes can be especially helpful because they put your dog in a safe environment with the kinds of distractions you experience outside. Training your dog in situations where there are other distractions helps them learn to obey even when there are other stimulating sights and sounds.

The DTE Difference

Read More
Read Less

Regardless of whether it’s an in-home training session or a group class, the Dog Training Elite training method is the same. We focus on “Classical Conditioning” or the “Pavlovian” method. Research has shown this approach as more effective with longer lasting results than other training methods.

We do not use harsh punishments or shock collars and instead pair balanced training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. It is a gentle electronic pulse, similar to the tug of a leash, used to get the dog’s attention. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

Other dog trainers use harsh static collars or spray collars which have been shown to be less effective. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs. a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out. Our method nurtures a dog’s loving and naturally obedient nature.

Benefits of Group Classes

Just like humans, dogs all have their own personalities. Some may receive and respond to all the training they need from private, one-on-one instruction, while others may find great benefit from attending a group class. Group classes can be a great asset to both dogs and their owners, since it provides them with many different situations and experiences they may not otherwise have.

Here are some other benefits of attending group dog training classes:

Group dog training classes have a number of benefits, particularly with socialization. Taking a puppy to group classes once they’re immunized will help them grow into a well-socialized dog comfortable with other dogs and humans. Older dogs who weren’t well socialized as puppies can learn to socialize in a small, safe environment. Trainers will recognize signs of possible conflict between dogs and help owners learn how to diffuse situations and take care of their pets, and dogs will learn how to interact appropriately with each other.

Dog training classes can also be beneficial for owners! If you bring your dog to a group class, you’ll meet other dog owners and become part of a community. Dog Training Elite likes to make group classes exciting for both dogs and their owners, so expect to learn fun training games and enjoy an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. Classes meet once a week, and both you and your dog will look forward to going every week.

Besides the socialization benefits, group classes are a great tool for dogs to learn to work around distractions. If your dog is perfectly obedient at home, but loses his or her mind at the dog park and forgets all they’ve learned, group classes are the way to go. Group classes are a safe way to help your dog learn to listen to you, even when they’re surrounded by exciting sights, smells and sounds.

In a dog training class, you are in control of the training. While your pooch may occasionally be used as the ‘demo’ dog, there will be very few instances where your dog only has to listen to the trainer. With a class, you are the trainer, and the instructor is just acting as a guide. With all of Dog Training Elite’s training options - in-home or through a class - you will always be the No. 1 trainer, not just sitting on the sidelines as someone else takes charge.

Each dog is unique, and the small classes at Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin will allow you and your dog to still receive personalized attention and training. You will also have the opportunity to learn from other dogs and their owners. Imagine the trainer advises another owner how to help their dog learn to play independently. Later, you might remember the advice and apply it to your own dog, away from the class.
