Puppy Socialization Classes in Greenville, SC

My dog Gus was a mess and destructive now we go outside without a leash and dog friendly restaurants. My wife has severe medical issues and she walks with him. If he starts to wonder off she says come and he runs to her they are inseparable now! I never thought Gus would be this well behaved.

Dog Training Elite not only helped to train my new dog but also helped me to communicate better with him. I learned his manipulation methods and how to overcome that to give him more confidence and calmness in his day to day. It was a great experience with knowledgeable and caring trainers.

I have absolutely loved working with this company to help train my dog and would 100% recommend them to any dog owner. Not only will your dog be better behaved, but the bond between you and your dog will strengthen because you are speaking the same language. The trainers are very knowledgeable, eager to help, and quick to answer questions outside of regular training sessions. It's definitely an investment worth making if you love your dog and want to include them in multiple aspects of your life. I am thrilled to continue the training and unlock my dog's full potential!

I loved going through training with DTE! They were always available for any questions I had and I never had any issues scheduling appointments. My dog has improved and learned so much. Previously, she wouldn’t even leave the neighborhood and now she will walk downtown TR.

We are thrilled with our experience with Elite. We have a now 10-month-old Golden retriever puppy who was the most difficult puppy we've ever had to train. With just 6 weeks of in-home training she is manageable, follows commands, and stays in place off leash from far distances. Our biggest issue with Maggie was an off command being that she was constantly in our older golden retrievers space and face. We now have that mastered thanks to Elite. Our trainer, Sydney, was nothing short of remarkable and Maggie fell in love with her. I cannot say enough about the response time and the overall support from everyone at Elite through the process. Anytime we had a question or a concern they were, literally, back in touch with us and responding within no time at all. We highly recommend. We were referred to them by a neighbor whose dog had amazing results and after reading the other reviews we decided to give it a try. And boy are we glad we did. You will be too!

We got our dog when she was 10 months old and it was obvious that she had not been socialized and we think she was crated most of the time. She was very skittish and obviously afraid of new surroundings. We saw firsthand the success of DTE after our 2 grand dogs completed their training and knew that we wanted to give our sweet dog every opportunity to have the best life possible. Our last one-on-one session was today. We met the trainer at Lowe’s and Marley exceeded all expectations. We are so proud of her and the progress that she has made. Now we begin group sessions and we can’t wait to see how she will shine in that environment. We recommend DTE without reservation or hesitation. One of the best decisions we have ever made.

Wonderful experience from first call to inquire to our finale in home class. Our deaf golden puppy was beyond wild and is now a treasure.

Dog Training Elite was such a great experience. They were kind and very helpful. Communication was outstanding. I will be using them in the future and would highly recommend.

We saw an amazing transformation in Coby, our mini goldendoodle, from the first in home training! With the progress from the first visit until the last of the 6 week in home training, Coby is a completely different baby boy! Casey and Danny are superb trainers and we couldn't have asked for better communication with Elizabeth!! Our goal for Coby is to be my service dog for my mental health. (Or lack there of)! We're continuing with the group classes for the 6 month offerings. Then we will be on to the next step to specific service dog training for Coby, my husband, and I, we hope! I did my research before selecting Dog Training Elite Upstate for us and I didn't miss! I know we are receiving the best possible experience there is!

I would highly recommend this DTE to anyone with a dog. My pup used to be anxious and pulling me all over the place when we went out downtown or anywhere in a crowd. Now, I can take him anywhere with the confidence that he will behave, listen to my commands, and not get distracted in busy settings. A couple weeks ago, I had the scary moment when he backed out of his collar when loading him into the car while I was parallel parked on a busy road. That’s when our training kicked in. I just asked him to sit and he sat right down at my feet until I was able to leash him up again. Please remember - this training can save your dog’s life if nothing else.

I did training for my dog Donny because he was “bad.” Turns out he wasn’t bad he was just untrained! Casey our trainer helped us realize Donny’s full potential and I am so proud of him!! We went above and beyond my expectations and I highly recommend Dog Elite! They were so nice and communication was excellent!

I used Dog Training Elite Upstate for puppy and advanced training and had a wonderful experience. The puppy training laid the foundation and the advanced training was a game-changer. Everyone was highly skilled, professional, kind, and supportive. Milo loved it and learned so much, as did I.

We recently rescued our pup and while he already knew some basic commands, we are so glad we brought him to dog training elite! They helped solidify and expand his skills and commands. We did the camp option which worked great for our pup, it helped him to socialize with other dogs while also performing his skills under the pressures of their presence throughout the day. While dog training elite gives your pup the foundation, it is really up to you as the owner to continue with the training and hold your dog accountable. Even after the camp, they are super accessible to us with any of our questions and with the continued group trainings. We can’t recommend this team enough! Everyone was so kind and clearly passionate about the dogs that join DTE!

We had three dogs in the house with an “alpha problem.” The trainers at Dog Training Elite helped walk through training our dogs to show them we are the alphas and help manage their stress! This training was so valuable for our family! It took stress off the dogs and us! It was so evident in spending time with Jared how much he cares about the dogs and their owners. We are so thankful for Dog Training Elite and highly recommend them.

Our 20 month old Wheaten Scottish Terrier, Maesie is like having a new dog after the training she received at Dog Training Elite - Upstate; being a Scottie she has quite a stubborn and willful personality but the Upstate Team trainers were patient, professional and incredibly knowledgeable in working with her and they taught us how to better understand her behavior; stressing the importance of our role in working with her personality. We have seen such a great improvement in her leash walking; automatically sitting at crosswalks, coming when called and now we can take her out to venues and she readily either “sits” or goes “down”. Thank you Jared, Sydney and Casey and of course kudos to Elizabeth who kept us all in line with the administrative side.

Thrilled with the training. The difference after the first week was tremendous, and our dog is very happy and the improvement in obedience was well worth it

10/10 experience! So worth the money invested. Our dog is pretty stubborn and this program calmed him down and trained him well. We are now able to have him off leash when possible! Highly recommend.

Our experience with Dog Training Elite was exceptional! Our oldest dog started displaying signs of aggression towards our puppy and we wanted to put a stop to that quickly and correctly. We reached out to DTE and they immediately had a plan in place to help us out! Luffy is now much more responsive to our commands, obedient, and he has improved so much thanks to DTE! Highly recommen!

We put my dog Mollie through this program because she has a lot of anxiety that prevented her from doing things outside of the house and with other dogs! She has benefitted so much through this training. Allowing her to redirect her focus and let go of control has allowed her to be more comfortable in what used to be scary environments! She is also 6 years old- so old dogs can learn new tricks! The trainers are patient, intelligent, and encouraging throughout the process! Could not recommend them more!

My husband and I appreciate all the help and support from Sydney and the other trainers at Dog training Elite with Abby. She has really become a part of the family
