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. Maybe you’ve progressed from “sit” to seeing how long they can hold it, or you’re working on taking your pet through an obstacle course.

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?

We offer dog training classes near you for puppies and older dogs that may be the answer you’re looking for. While group training classes aren’t always necessary, they can be extremely beneficial to both your dog and you.

    We are so happy we went with Elite after reaching out to multiple trainers in the area. We were given different options for how to go about training; in public, at their facility, or in our own home. It made it very convenient and helpful to train in different environments with our dog. Ramiro was a great trainer, not just for our skeptical dog, but also as worrisome owners. He explained each step and helped us and our dog work together to help us be more confident in public and having visitors over. Being a rescue, our dog has a tendency to be on high alert but training has helped him trust us and relax.

    Awesome experience with Ramiro! Completely transformed our dogs. Had issues with them being aggressive towards each other and with a baby on the way, we had to find a fix. Ramiro solved all of our issues. Highly recommend

    Dog: Hazel, 2-year-old Shelter Lab Mix Program: Platinum Package Issue addressed: Severe leash reactivity (lunging, barking toward other dogs,motorcycles, bicycles and joggers. Dog training Elite Northeast Wisconsin is a great investment in Hazels future. For shelter dogs with unknown baggage and deep-rooted anxiety or guarding issues.This program provided a safe, effective, and transformative solution that allowed Hazel to finally relax and be a confident family member. From our very first session, Hannah Randal demonstrated incredible patience, professionalism, and a genuine love for dogs. Instead of just drilling commands, they focused on why Hazel was behaving the way she was and taught me how to communicate effectively using positive reinforcement.

    We couldn’t happier with how Ramiro helped us transform our insanely hyper pup. We knew Rambo was a smart boy, but we struggled with showing him direction. Ramiro helped us mold Rambo into a focused and eager to learn good boy! Give Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin a call today and your relationship with your dog will be so much better!

    Ramiro was extremely professional throughout all of our sessions and a superb teacher with the whole process. Our Mini Aussie went from a non stop barking dog to a very well mannered companion. I would without question recommend this training to anyone who is looking for dog training.

    We worked with my dog that was reactive and hard to control. They understand recuse dogs and how to work with them. I am impressed with the results and he passed his K9 test.

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite and more specifically our amazing trainer Brianna! From the very first session, her warmth and kindness made both us and our pup feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly flexible, always willing to adjust her schedule or approach to meet our needs, and her deep knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques is truly impressive. What sets her apart is how she blends professionalism with genuine care. She didn’t just help us train our dog; she built trust, confidence, and a meaningful bond between us and our pup, Brewer. Our dog has learned so much and has truly made amazing progress, and we’ve also learned so much from her along the way. We absolutely love her and feel so lucky and grateful to have found someone so talented and compassionate. Brianna truly understands dogs and treats every family with respect and heart! We highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to train their dog.

    We took our Labrador to Dog Training Elite and we had a fantastic experience. Our boy was already pretty well-behaved and tempered, but we wanted to ensure he was a good listener, knew important commands, and get him used to distractions, new people, new places, etc so that we could count on him to operate well in all kinds of circumstances. Ramiro was so great to work with, Chubbs learned so much and is such an incredible companion thanks to Elite’s help. Would definitely recommend working with them!

    We knew our German Shepherd had all the potential but didn’t know where to start. We were worried at 3 years old he would be too set in his ways, but Ramiro assured us that was not the case. After 8 weeks we have a completely different dog, who I feel confident walking, having guests around, and taking into public. We were given all of the tools and just had to be consistent and apply them on a daily basis. We’re really excited to continue our journey, join classes, and keep Max working. Can’t recommend Elite Training enough, worth the expense to go from stressed to confident and educated.

    It has been an amazing experience for the dog's as well as for me. The control I have with my dog's without yelling at them or trying to guess what they are going to do has been a huge relief. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to get out with there dog's and enjoy the time you have with them you won't regret it! Gary Weyenberg

    They helped me to absolutely transform my pup and his life. I am now able to walk him and take him out in public, which was not an option before. He also now has great house and stranger manners. With this training and the complete turn around of Duke’s behavior, i’m able to give him a more fulfilling life with experiences we would’ve missed before. Thank you so much Dog Training Elite, and especially our trainer Stephany! I am beyond grateful for all of your hard work!

    We reached out to Dog Training Elite after failed attempts with trying to use a standard shock collar to decrease resource guarding. Hannah was so helpful and patient with training us and our dog, Dewey to respect his e-collar, improve his obedience with his recall skills, and even reduce his resource guarding with food around other dogs - something we didn’t believe he would ever be able to achieve! He’s still hesitant with other dogs in his personal space but has improved so much with his ability to respond to his commands to create a better peace of mind for all of us. We can’t thank Dog Training Elite and Hannah enough!

    Ramiro was always flexible with the schedule and was willing to change our classes when things came up. The dogs are doing soo much better and they learned a lot during the 8 weeks of training. Definately worth the money!

    When we first began looking into training for our 10-month-old golden retriever puppy, Crew, we were primarily seeking help with basic commands and obedience. After reading several positive reviews online, I reached out to Dog Training Elite and connected with Brianna. She walked me through the available training packages with great detail and a clear understanding of our situation. The glowing customer service reviews couldn’t have been more accurate. We ultimately chose the In-Facility Platinum package, which included a four-day training camp in Bellevue, WI, along with four in-home sessions. One area we were particularly anxious about was how Crew would handle crate training at camp. He had not been crate trained at home and had shown signs of anxiety at times. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Each day after camp, Crew came home happy and more responsive to the trained commands than the day before. The in-home sessions further reinforced his listening and obedience skills. It’s clear how much Brianna and the entire DTE team care about the dogs they train—Crew lights up every time he sees her. We’re also proud to share that Crew successfully completed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test, thanks to the coaching and support from Brianna and the DTE team. When we first reached out for training, we never imagined he would achieve such a milestone. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone in need of obedience training for their dog. We’ll definitely be returning for group classes and with future pets!

    Our dog Indy is a rescue that has quite a bit of anxiety and reactivity. We had tried another trainer without success and were pretty lost on what to do. But after starting with Ramiro we noticed a significant difference after just 2 weeks. Our family has noticed how much more calm and peaceful she is. We’re excited to start group classes to socialize her more!

    When we started we were very anxious on if any of this would work with our dog. Im happy to say after his 2 months hes had huge improvements compared to the last two years. Although his reactivity will be a process to work through, he has learned so much from Ramiro! His walks are longer and a lot calmer then they used to be , he listens and focuses on me now instead of every distraction. We could take down our black outs from our windows and he just lays down and watches outside instead of jumping on the window going crazy at other dogs and people most of the time. Hes more relaxed and over all attitude has changed for the better. This company even has group class with all of the dogs they've trained and im so excited to take dax (my dog) to them and socialize more with being around other dogs and people. After about a one and a half sessions , Dax went from going crazy and lunging at Ramiro to absolutely loving him. Dax hears his voice and immediately butt wiggles over to him. I was weary for sure , but over all it was a great experience and we fully trust Ramiro and love the amount of care and help provided to us in this training course! If I could give 100 stars I would! My husband and I got a lot of training as well , so he trained three of us for the price of one. 😁

    Ramiro was great! He took time to listen to what concerns we had and helped us to address them. We would highly recommend them!

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

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.
