    When we picked up our Aussie, he was doing a obstacle course like it was nothing. He is learning so much and so am I. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

    So far Dogs Training Elite Huntsville has been outstanding. JB, Christy, Paige have been professional, friendly, and outstanding help with me, my wife, and my service dog Shadow. They have been very responsive and willing to adjust schedules if needed.

    I originally spoke to Christie regarding the process of getting the right kind of puppy to get to have as a service dog for my autistic son! She was very nice, informative and extremely patient with answering the million questions I had!! After we purchased our puppy, they got us in very quickly for our evaluation! When we got to the center we met with JB (the owner)! Due to school being out and having limited childcare help I had to bring my son with me to the evaluation and while I was worried that he’d be seen as a distraction/disruption however JB was very kind and patient to not only me but to my son the whole time we were there! After doing the evaluation with Spike (our puppy), JB explained the entire process of all the training that we would do from puppy classes to the personalized autism canine training classes! I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who is looking for somewhere to get a dog trained just based off the interactions that we’ve had thus far!

    My experience with DTE has been amazing. They have been incredibly punctual, patient, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process and the results I’ve seen with my dog’s behavior have honestly been amazing. My pup has fear based reactivity and before training, walks were stressful and reactive, but now I’m able to enjoy calm, attentive strolls with my dog. DTE has also given me the tools and instructions to feel comfortable having people coming into our home. The app and supplemental information is a huge bonus! DTE has helped to teach me clear expectations and communication skills between me and my dog. It’s made such a positive impact on both of us, and I feel so much more confident handling different situations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for effective training and real results!

    I have been working closely with Paige, the trainer, on getting my golden retriever registered and trained as a service animal. We also have a German shepherd that is the program as well. The GS has been working with JB and we could not be happier! Strongly recommend!

    I love this place! I have a Yorkie and didn't believe we could do some the things we have done in such a short period of time. These gals and guys are amazing with the dogs and owners.

    I just started training my third dog with Dog Training Elite. JB worked with me to train my Husky-mix when her behavior was so bad that I thought I would have to rehome her. Three years later she is still so obedient that we can take her anywhere dogs are welcome. I am also working with JB to train my goldendoodle to be my service dog, and now JB is training my hound dog. No matter the breed or the behavior issues, I highly recommend hiring DTE to train your dog. JB, Christie and Paige are amazing people and excellent trainers. They dedicate every Saturday holding group training sessions at various locations, rain or shine, all year long. Trust JB and his team, they will work with your dog and love them as much as you do.

    My boy Frankie just had a great training session with Paige. She makes it look easy. Very patient with me and my boy.

    Purchased the package where the trainer came to my house for one on one training for me and my dog. The staff provides great communication and ease of scheduling. The trainers are very patient and you can tell they have a love for dogs and use tools for assistance, not punishment. I cannot say enough about how gentle they are when training!!! We have now finished our 8th training session and I am very happy with our progress! Family members who have not been around since training has started said they can really tell a difference in my dog’s behaviors!!! This photo is after training- he is exhausted!

    Have a 5 yr old hound that had regressed and was super stubborn - after a week of camp and two home visits she’s well on her way to being a model dog. Ears are no longer for decoration but she listens and responds better than before, manners have improved, and she’s more focused.

At Dog Training Elite Huntsville, we believe in-home dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home training allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

In-home training minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of In-Home Training Techniques

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
