Destructive Chewing and Digging Training in Knoxville, TN

Destructive chewing and digging can cause serious damage to your home and yard. At Dog Training Elite, we tackle these behaviors by identifying their root causes, such as boredom, anxiety, or lack of boundaries. Our goal is to provide lasting solutions that prevent further damage and create a more peaceful environment for you and your dog.

Our destructive chewing and digging training in Knoxville, TN focuses on structured activities and consistent discipline to redirect your dog’s energy. We implement strategies like interactive toys and planned play sessions to keep your dog engaged, reducing the temptation to chew or dig. Clear boundaries and regular routines will help your dog understand acceptable behaviors.

We also consider environmental factors that may contribute to these destructive habits. Dogs often act out when they lack a designated space or feel stressed. By helping you establish a structured environment—whether through crate training or creating specific play areas—we reduce the triggers for chewing and digging.

If you're ready to stop the damage and regain control, contact us today to create a customized plan.

    When I called, I was greeted by an extremely pleasant voice. Attached to said voice was a wonderful young lady by the name of Jen. As I am older, a lot of people don’t take the time to truly try to help me. But Jen was phenomenal. She listened to my issues, soothed my worries and then provided me with exceptional support. More companies would benefit from having a soul like hers on the other end of the phone.

    Let me begin by saying I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. Carol is AMAZING at her job and you can tell she loves what she does. I have a 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd (Luna) that she has totally trained way beyond what I expected. She has given me the tools and the confidence to become a better owner. Luna and I have a bond that continues to grow because of Carol. Carol is so patient with her clients and always takes the time to answer our questions and our concerns. When I am in public with Luna I am constantly getting stopped and being told that Luna is the most well behaved dog they have ever seen. Please don’t hesitate in choosing Dog Training Elite, you will not be disappointed!

    We contacted Elite and received a response from Jen with a scheduled free evaluation within 24 hours. Jen communicated effectively and was very nice! Carol was the trainer who completed our evaluation and got us all set up to start our training. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, and very easy to talk to! We are excited to start our training experience with Carol!

    Carol is Amazing! I cannot say enough great things about Carol and her incredible work training my puppy! From the very first session, it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and a true passion for what she does. Carol has been instrumental in helping my pup learn basic obedience, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Her training techniques are effective, positive, and tailored to both my puppy’s needs and my own. She is patient, encouraging, and always takes the time to explain not just what to do but why it works, which has helped me build a stronger bond with my pup. Thanks to Carol, my puppy now listens better, responds to commands, and is becoming a well-mannered companion. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and caring dog trainer. She truly goes above and beyond! If you need help with training, look no further—Carol is the best!

    Carol has been great for our big boy! She gave us the tools to help him feel more relaxed and less like there is about to be an intruder any second. He went from guarding the house and barking aggressively at even a passing car to now he sometimes barks when other dogs bark. We also feel more relaxed taking him out in public, which I didn’t think could happen! Thank you!
