Local Dog Trainers in Kentuckiana

Joe was amazing with my dog! I have always heard "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" but Joe showed me and my 7 year old dog everything we needed to be successful in dog training and obedience! He took so much time to talk through training as well as any other questions we had! I appreciate him and DTE so much!

Joe did an amazing job with my dog! His patience, expertise, and genuine passion for working with dogs are evident in every interaction and session. He not only helped my dog build confidence but also gave me the knowledge and reassurance I needed to support my dog's success in training!! Joe takes the time to explain the training process and share valuable tips, making it easy to continue the progress at home. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, caring, and dedicated dog trainer! I am forever thankful for this program!

DTE Kentuckiana were great to work with! Very supportive and thorough. Pleasure having them as Babette’s trainers!

My two year golden retriever has received the training. We went from bolting out the front door to sitting and waiting. As well learning how to place on different surfaces and to lay down on command. I am able to take her on walks without her pulling and able to have her seat without bolting aware. This has helped so much to even have it down in my own house vs going somewhere getting in the use to be a nightmare. When done with the obedience classes you get to start group sessions and I love that they help grow and support what your dog has learned.

Very professional and thorough....goes above and beyond what was expected 😁.... passionate about what they do

I love training sessions with Joe and Kim at Elite Dog Training. Pax and Boomer are both excelling, and after just four weeks of training, I’ve already seen a big difference in my reactive pup. She’s becoming more confident and much more comfortable around visitors in our home. I really appreciate how clearly they break down each command step by step. They make it easy for me to understand and confidently practice on my own. The in-home sessions have been incredibly helpful, and I feel like I’ve gained the tools and guidance I need to prevent her reactive behavior from holding her back. I truly feel like I’ve become a better dog parent through this process, and I can’t recommend Elite Dog Training enough. The sessions are top tier, and I’m so grateful for the support. I cannot recommend them enough!

I adopted a dog who was abandoned and had trust issues wouldn’t walk to even go outside. My husband had to carry her. She slowly started to come out of her shell and with talking and working with Kimberly on ideas she is now trusting she listens to commands and is my whole world. She has come a long way in three months and will continue to work with her. I enjoy all the tips I read on face book. I wish I lived closer to have Marli trained with you. Your advice reaches people outside your area keep up the good work.

I have learned so much from Kim about different methods to give dogs incentives to learn in the training process!

Very professional and kind! They were very helpful with any and all questions I had about my dogs training and/or what each behavior he was showing meant! I would recommend Dog Training Elite Kentuckiana to anyone who needs or wants to have their dog trained!

Joe and Marlene are excellent! I came to them with a dog that most thought was too far gone. Within 5 weeks, she is a totally different dog. Their methods are sound; I can see the results. It’s a bonus that they came to me, making training possible with a timid, scared dog. If you are considering training, please give DTE a look; you won’t be sorry!

My rottweiler is 6 months old, and they have worked wonders with him!

My Rottweiler is now 6 months old, and it is incredible the work they have done with him.

Marlene and Joe are great teachers and have the ability to communicate their instructions well. Our experience has been wonderful and we recommend them to everyone we know that has dogs. They are very knowledgeable and have been able to answer anything we have asked about what is best for our dogs. They never pushed our dog faster then what he was able to do at any stage of his training! If he was having a harder time with a command they would give us tips and show us a different way that our dog may be able to understand what we are wanting out of him. They truly do care about every dog out there! We are going to be using them to train our dog to be a service dog as they stand behind their work and it shows! They even gave us tips on what we can do with our other dog (we did not pay for them to train our other dog) but if we had any questions about either of our dogs they helped! Our walks have become so much easier with two dogs because of them there is no pulling and the walks are no longer something to dread! The group classes they offer are an amazing time for all dogs to enjoy the outside and learn what is expected of them when meeting other dogs and people! 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

Very professional and detailed oriented. Pleasure to work with. Great people!! Highly recommend!

Excellent people and even better knowledge!

They have worked wonders with my very stubborn bloodhound. I highly recommend giving them a call

My young rescue dog Lena has responded very well to Marlene’s training methods and as a result has become much more secure and responsive to me. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Kentuckiana.

Rockstars! We desperately needed help connecting, calming and correcting our young dog and they equipped us to confidently overcome these obstacles. We got our home back!!!

Marlene and Joe are fantastic!!! They helped us with our two boys who decided they hated each other all of a sudden. They also trained us and gave us the skills to become effective pack leaders. I would totally recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone.
