    What I was hoping for was a kind, calm, clear, and knowledgeable trainer and Tom is just that!

    Tom is the real deal. I was blown away by the progress he made in our first session! He has me and my little buddy well on our way to good behavior. Tom is an incredible professional and skilled trainer. I could not recommend him more for your dog training needs!

    When Joe and I started on this adventure of getting a puppy to train to be a mobility support dog for Joe due to his MS, I was a bit unsure of if we could make it happen. As Cole, an English Labrador, began growing into a LARGE puppy who didn’t know his strength I was concerned he would end up knocking Joe or others off their feet! With the wonderful guidance from Tom at Dog Training Elite, Cole (Joe and I) have learned to obey commands, listen to each other, act more appropriate around other people and dogs, and greet others without jumping on them. Joe, Cole, and I look forward to continuing our journey with Tom and appreciate all that he has done!

    We have been using Elite for a little over a year and they are fantastic. The one on one sessions in your home are so worth it and make the biggest difference. We are currently starting the protection training for my big guy and the trainers are excellent!

    My dog was struggling with leash pulling and reactivity, and within just a few sessions, I saw a huge improvement. The trainers came to my home and used clear, effective training techniques that were easy to follow. They took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I felt confident continuing the training at home. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate training team that truly cares about your dog’s success, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They have made such a difference in our lives!

    Tom is wonderful trainer. Our dog Major has had a transformational experience with Dog Training Elite. We really enjoy watching how well he obeys commands and follows instructions. The group classes are by far the best to further imprint what your dog needs to know after the 1:1 sessions with Tom. We are very pleased and happy with how major is doing and this has just been a wonderful experience that we continue to enjoy and look forward to continuing. 5 Star rating!

    My dog loves Tom! He is so knowledgeable and has been very patient working with my reactive dog. We've learned so many different practice exercises, and the group classes are a great place to practice what my dog has learned! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a dog training in the Lexington/Louisville area.

    When I got my puppy, Henry, I was hoping to turn him into a service dog, but had no clue where to even start. Tom has been there every step of the way to help us get to that point. Henry will now alert to me on his own, and I know that wouldn’t have been possible without Tom’s expertise. And I have been so impressed with how well thought out the group classes are! It’s been amazing to watch Henry’s improvement with each outing. Would 1000% recommend this program to anyone!

    I own a mental health practice in Louisville. My team and I decided to train a therapy dog. I had no idea how much time and attention would be needed. We are about 4 months into her training and it is going well. She is only 7 months old so she still has some puppy energy. Tom has been super patient with me. Anyone can tell you that I am not coordinated at all. Trying to walk, use the training clicker while not tripping over my dog is challenging for me. I have gotten frustrated with myself more than once. We just started group classes and I was so impressed with my girl! We have finally gotten to a place where I feel more confident. Having the support of Tom and Dog Training Elite, has made all the difference. Time and patience are imperative. Thank you Tom!

    Tom is great! He is knowledgeable, helpful, and an effective instructor. He has helped our dog (a puppy when we started) pass his good canine citizen test and now we are working on him becoming a service dog for our son with various disabilities. We are very thankful for Tom and Dog Elite Training of Lexington!
