    We got Misfit a couple of months ago and we had trouble managing his unruly teenager behavior. He liked things to go his way or he wasn't doing it. With DTE Misfit and I learned to work together to achieve better communication. His manners are getting better and he seems happier now that we have clear boundaries and he can work. We are so thankful for DTE and we can't recommend them enough! I look forward to working with my other dogs with them in the future!

    If you’re in the Greenville area and need dog training, this is who you need! I’ve known Elizabeth and Jared for years and they’re wonderful people to work with! Here are our two dogs when sofas were getting delivered, with two strangers in the house, the door wide open, and they didn't move or bark. The delivery men couldn't believe it.

    The people who came to our home, were always so loving & caring with our Skylar. She wouldn’t do much of anything that we told her before Dog Training Elite. Now she is on her way to being great service dog for our blind & autistic son. Thanks to everyone at DTE who has helped in making Skylar the best that she can be!!! (In the picture, our Skylar is on the right.)

    We adopted Mazie (3 year old lab mix) in February. Introductions to our older dog became increasingly aggressive. We were afraid we made the wrong decision bringing another dog home. We called Dog Training Elite and they were able to come to our home to get started very quickly. After a week of day camp, we saw huge improvements in Mazie and we began to feel more confident. We still have more we want to accomplish but I am truly amazed at how far she has come in such a short time. Mazie has become a beloved part of our family and now there is peace in our home. We would not be here without the guidance from all of the talented and caring trainers.

    My husband and I brought our first family puppy Dolly, a golden retriever, to the amazing team when she was 12 weeks old. Initial puppy training made an immediate impact and we signed up for Advanced Training at 16/17 weeks old. Dolly understands and responds to every command she learned and we continue to see her skills improve. All of the trainers and experts are truly dog-lovers, so the mix of expertise and love is impactful. Every time we met a new trainer we were impressed at how much we loved each unique personality and approach. We are so thankful we found this amazing business. We are seriously considering making Dolly a therapy dog and continuing to invest in her development. Most of all, we are so thankful we can integrate Dolly safely and lovingly into her family faster because of her new skills!

    We have had such a great experience with Dog Training Elite!! All the trainers have been great and very personable! They have come in and worked great/fit in with our family! Some have brought their dogs which helps with distractions for the training and getting to work with the training sessions help us be confident to continue the training through the week! Rocky has done great with the training and we are on our way to having a well behaved dog!

    We have had 3 trainers for Honey and she has come a long way. She is a very intelligent, hard headed , athletic dog. She knew commands like come and no but she made the decision to obey or not. She has learned that her humans make the decisions. She has progressed from the attitude of a 2yo human to a 4yo. The trainers were very professional and good instructors for both Honey and her hoomans.

    I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they truly deserve it! Our sweet boy, Royal, was extremely reactive to people and dogs, which kept our family on constant alert and even prevented us from inviting guests into our home. Before training, he would bark, growl, and lunge at people and dogs. I was almost afraid they wouldn't be able to train him because of this. From the start, even just calling and talking to one of the trainers about Royal and his behavior gave us hope that they could help us. We decided that the camp was the best way for Royal to get the training he needed, and it has truly changed our lives. We got an update on the first day that he was able to be off-leash and not muzzled, which was so exciting for us to hear. Royal is becoming more confident in himself and his ability to listen and obey commands. I'm kind of in awe that this is the same dog. The trainers had excellent communication, and it's so obvious that they love what they do. It was awesome to hear about his other campmates and their progress as well. I can't recommend Dog Training Elite Upstate enough.

    It has been an absolutely incredible journey with Dog Training Elite Upstate SC and every single trainer who worked with my dog Fenris (3 yo German Shepherd). I 10 star recommend them if you're looking at training for your dog. A little about Fenris. Prior to coming to them for help, Fenris had been through two other training programs and numerous vet session. I love my dog but was at my wits end! He was extremely nervous all the time and was still incredibly reactive to other dogs. To the point of me being uneasy and having to restrain him on walks at the sight of another dog. As we started training with the team here, Fen made improvements every single course. The trainers started slowly to build our bond and Fens confidence. Then they brought other dogs to work alongside him, moving at his pace. By the end of our one on one sessions, Fen was able to sit in a room with 3 other dogs with zero reactivity. He's able to understand I've got him. He is much more confident and obedient without changing his personality. When I say this development made me nearly cry! I am so over the moon with the results! We can't wait to join group classes in the future. A huge thank you to every trainer that has been part of Fen's journey.
