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 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.

    Stephanie, Brianna and Hannah Thank you so much for the great job training Hazel. Day one we noticed a huge difference in her behaviors and her Frenchie attitude. So happy with everything she has learned in short time. Looking forward to future lessons.

    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.

    Best decision we have made for our Boxer was getting her trained at Dog Training Elite. We can’t thank the entire staff enough for all the knowledge they are passing onto us. A special thanks to Brianna and Hannah for working closely with Coco. We can’t believe how quickly Coco has transformed into an obedient pup. We look forward to the continued support that they provide for her with the platinum package.

    If I could give 100 stars I would!!! My dog Bulma was the shyest, timid dog who struggled with fear reactivity. We took her to see the trainers at Dog Training Elite and in just 2 short weeks she is a completely new dog. We looked at a few other trainers in the Green Bay and Fox Valley area and from the beginning I was very impressed with the level of detail and care the trainers showed. We signed Bulma up for the 4 day platinum plus package and we had the joy of working with Brianna. She was so sweet and so kind to our timid girl and by day 2 Bulma was giving her kisses and wagging her tail. By day 4 I have a completely different dog. She doesn’t pull or bark when other dogs are walking by she listens and the biggest thing is her confidence is growing. We have to put the work in to keep making strides with Bulma but I can’t thank Brianna and the whole team at Dog Training Elite enough.

    My shy and timid dog, Emmie, made incredible strides thanks to Ramiro’s patience and guidance. I was initially hesitant on what type of training Emmie would need, but with Ramiro’s experience with shy dogs I knew I was in the best hands. Emmie gradually started to come out of her shell, and I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve seen. I would highly recommend Ramiro to anyone working with a shy or fearful dog. I went from a dog who was literally scared of anything to a dog being able to walk in a store and be ok with sniffing an unknown persons hand. Ramiro’s training consisted of using a prong collar and an E collar, and with those two tools I was able to completely see a difference in my dog.

    We had a great experience with them! The staff was great and passionate about their jobs. Marcy was a great trainer and they were very flexible and understanding with our busy schedule. Our Airedale terrier did great and we noticed such a huge difference with her training and growth. Highly recommend!

    Training with Ramiro has been life changing for our family!!!! Our beautiful boy Donnie started becoming very insecure and reactive towards strangers and other dogs at the age of 8 months old. We assumed he had become aggressive but quickly into his training it was clear that he was just scared. We stopped bringing him places and felt very sad and defeated. We have 2 small children and knew this wouldn’t work long term with them wanting friends over to play someday. We were worried that we could possibly waste our money if the training didn’t work but that definitely was not the case! Seeing our baby boy transform before our eyes has been an incredible feeling and we just feel so proud!! It has been worth every penny! If you are reading these reviews unsure or trying to find a push to go for it, here it is!! Thank you Ramiro and Elite!!

    I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dog Training Elite, especially Marcy, for providing my dog, Charlie, and I with a significantly improved quality of life. Prior to training, Charlie exhibited reactivity tendencies, frequently barking at strangers and other dogs, and becoming inconsolable. Given Charlie’s advanced age of 8 years, I anticipated a challenging and stressful training process. However, by placing my full trust in the process, I have witnessed a remarkable transformation. Marcy demonstrated exceptional patience with the stubborn Charlie, who has grown to adore her. During my in-home assessment with the owner of DTE, he inquired about my expectations, and I am pleased to report that I have received far more value than I anticipated. Marcy not only trained Charlie but also empowered me with the confidence to be an effective pet parent, and I now have faith in Charlie's ability to behave appropriately.
