Los Angeles Dog Socialization Classes

Kyla at Dog Training Elite helped my Pomsky and I through obedience and service animal training! I highly recommend her. We had a long way to go, with little previous training but we really transformed over these weeks.

Our 11 month old pit bull rescue OTIS had some basic training but we needed to address a few outstanding issues as he came to his new forever home. Kyla has a very firm command and our boy fell into line pretty quickly. Sad that our sessions are up as we will all miss her: her lovely nature and her excellent training skills. * By chance we realized Otis had never seen an escalator and he was very unsure, but in no time Kyla had given him the confidence to ride away with no issues!!!

Since beginning the training with Dog Training Elite Los Angeles, our lives have become so much easier and better. From our first session to now, our dog has shown major signs of improvement and has been exposed to a lot of new things/environments where he had trouble with at first but now he has improved significantly. The training by Clayton is awesome, he is great with our dog and has so much knowledge about dog behavior/tendencies. Clayton is very respectful and has a true passion for dogs. Clayton is a true professional and we would not be where we are today without his expertise.

I have found the trainers especially Clayton to be very calm, knowledgeable and reassuring. In addition they understand how dogs think and help me to better understand my dog

Clayton is such a patient trainer & Dog Training Elite overall has been a very comprehensive program and everyone is always accessible to help us out with our pet. I would absolutely recommend this training program to friends. It’s been a night & day difference with our dog, thanks Clayton!

Kyla is outstanding, it was a pleasure to work with her. She taught me and my dog so much in such a short period of time. She literally was able to, after two minutes, train my dog to walk by a group of squirrels 12 inches away without any distraction. That is one of many valuable lessons Kyla taught us. She is extremely professional, prompt, and a natural at what she does. I highly recommend Kyla and Elite Dog Training.

Our dog is a very willful herding dog, but thanks to our trainer Kayla, we are learning how to control him. As a result of firm direction he is steadily becoming a calmer and more obedient dog. Four stars. 100% recommend. I don’t often say that about expensive services, but it was worth every penny. We were at the end of our rope with this dog and they saved us!

Kyla was terrific! My Bernedoodle would immediately calm down the minute Kyla walked into the house. I loved working with her. I also learned a lot! Highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. My experience convinced me it's worth every penny. All trainers are professional, available to answer any question and guide you through each step of your dog's training. I was blessed to find the perfect match for my still unruly 2-year young rescue Lab mix in Clayton. He’s been very patient and inspiring for both of us, conquering Paco’s trust since the first meeting, encouraging him to experiment new things and overcome his fears. Clayton seemed to truly understand my dog’s personality and tailored his training on specific tasks and obedience goals.Paco blossomed under his guidance, leaving behind any reactive behavior and becoming responsive to commands even in stressful situations. I also learned to overcome my fear of hurting Paco using the e-collar after Clayton showed me how to use it safely. I’ll keep taking Paco to the group lessons now that he completed his training. He’ll enjoy seeing Clayton again and practice together with Whopple and his other dog-buddies.

After five sessions with Clayton, my dog doesn’t lunge on the leash anymore. He is learning to calm down around other dogs, and ignore distractions. The best part is that I am learning how to communicate to him the behavior that I want. This has been the most effective dog training I’ve experienced, and I’ve had dogs all my life.

This review is too long coming! My pup Sutti (an 18 month old whoodle (wheaten terrier poodle crossbreed) and I have been working with Clayton from Dog Training Elite for the past five months. In that time she's learned so much. In addition to walking without pulling, sit, lie down, place and other basic commands, she's well on her way to being a psychiatric service dog for my PTSD. She's currently learning how to alert and ground via (DPT - deep pressure therapy) for panic attacks and received her preliminary service dog certification. They've also been flexible about scheduling, something I've appreciated a great deal as my job requires travel and odd hours. My husband and I recommend Dog Training Elite and, especially, Clayton highly.

Clayton is very intuitive and patient with our high energy golden retriever puppy. I have learned a lot about setting boundaries and using commands effectively.

Clayton educated us throughout the whole sessions, was amazing with our dog, overall amazing trainer! He

We couldn’t be happier with Dog Elite Training Los Angeles! Our Yorkie Terrier is currently in training to become a service dog, and the experience has been amazing from day one. The trainer Clayton is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about the dogs he work with. I was a little unsure at first since Yorkies are small with a big attitude, but Clayton never doubted her potential. They created a training plan tailored to her needs, and we’ve already seen such a huge improvement in her focus, obedience, and ability to perform tasks. It’s been incredible to watch her grow and gain confidence. What I love most is how supportive and hands-on Clayton is. He make sure we understand each step of the process so we can continue the training at home. It’s clear he is passionate about what he do, and it really shows in the results. If you’re looking for expert service dog training in LA, I highly recommend Dog Elite Training. They’ve made such a difference for us, and I’m so excited to see how far our little Yorkie goes!

Mr. Clayton, from Dog Training Elite, is a class act trainer and person. Im very thankful that my dog TANK, and I are paired up with Mr. Clayton. He is very informative and patient. He gives u step by step instructions(verbal and visual) that are very helpful. 1 to 10 Mr. Clayton = 10 Dog Training Elite Los Angeles =10

Clayton is professional, polite and is every knowledgeable. His training techniques are easy to follow.

I cannot recommend Clayton highly enough as a service dog trainer! From day one, his expertise, patience, and dedication were evident. He took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored the training to ensure my dog developed the skills necessary to support me in daily life. At first, I wasn’t sure if my dog could successfully complete the training but I gain confidence after finding that Clayton was the best trainer in my area. Now, my dog has become an incredible partner, providing me with support I never thought possible. If you’re looking for a trainer who is skilled, kind, and truly invested in your success, Clayton is the one to go to. I’m beyond grateful for his guidance and would recommend him to anyone in need of service dog training!

Dog Training Elite has been awesome! I had been thinking about getting my 3 year old mini goldendoodle some training for a while now and wish I had started sooner. We have been working with Clayton who has been very knowledgeable and the progress my pup has made after just 4 sessions with him has been incredible! My pup used to always pull on his leash and get overly excited and out of control when interacting with other dogs on walks and that has now completely changed. I look forward to even more progress as we work with Clayton to get my pup trained as a service animal. Definitely recommend Dog Training Elite and Clayton.

Thank you coach Clayton, Sage is still a fun pup but listens, plays, and follows commands like a Champ! Your calm and expert advise has really helped us be better parents to our beautiful 😍 Sage!!💝💝

Dog Training Elite has been an incredible experience. Greg met with us to decide which dog would be trainable out of the liter which was very helpful. We were looking for a trainer who could help us train our puppy all the way thru to a service animal. Clayton, our trainer has been amazing working my son and our puppy. He is very respectful and knowledgeable. The puppy is responding beyond our expectations to the training. We are very grateful and highly recommend this company and especially Clayton as a trainer. Thank you!!!
