The Benefits of Puppy Training

Dog Training Elite

Early training shapes a puppy’s behavior for life. Teaching structure, commands, and impulse control early makes daily life easier and sets the stage for a well-behaved dog.

Without proper guidance, puppies can quickly develop habits like jumping, barking, or chewing that become harder to correct over time.
Training strengthens communication and trust, creating a better relationship between owner and dog.
Exposure to new people, places, and other dogs helps puppies become more adaptable and reduces anxiety in unfamiliar situations.
Obedience commands provide control in unpredictable situations, keeping puppies out of harm’s way.

Puppy Training 101

Key Commands For Puppies

Read More
Read Less

Obedience commands help puppies understand what is expected of them and how to respond in different situations. These skills are fundamental for shaping a well-behaved and responsive dog:

  • Down: The "down" command teaches a puppy to lie down and stay in place until released. This command helps with impulse control and keeps a dog calm in busy environments or when guests visit.
  • Break: "Break" lets the puppy know they are free to move after following a previous command. This command helps structure training by showing the puppy when a command is over and they are allowed to move.
  • Heel: "Heel" teaches a puppy to walk calmly at the owner’s side rather than pulling ahead or lagging behind. Practicing this skill improves leash control, makes walks more enjoyable, and helps the dog stay focused in public settings.
  • Come: A reliable recall command is one of the most important skills a dog can learn. "Come" trains a puppy to return immediately when called, helping to prevent dangerous situations like running into traffic or getting lost.
  • Leave It: "Leave it" teaches a puppy to ignore or drop objects they shouldn’t touch, such as harmful food, household items, or dangerous materials. This command helps prevent destructive behavior and keeps the puppy safe.

    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!
