Please Note: Group Classes are for Dog Training Elite Los Angeles Clients Only

Dog Training Elite Los Angeles offers private dog training classes after obedience training is completed and only once a puppy is fully immunized. Dog obedience classes are held on a consistent basis and are included in most packages. Our dog obedience training classes are designed to place yourself and your dog in public places (surrounded by other dogs, people, smells, and sounds), so that you can train your dog to obey you... regardless of the many distractions screaming for their attention!

Group Training

Our group class is for all clients that have progressed through an obedience training program with DTE and are ready to put that training to work in a safe, controlled environment. We use all commands taught at the one-on-ones in real world scenarios to grow you and your dogs confidence and capability.

All dogs must be on a leash at all times. Ensure your e-collar and remote are fully charged as well. If you feel your dog needs a break, feel free to take one at any point.

Our Group Classes Could Help:

Improve Socialization Skills

Foster a Supportive Community

Strengthen the Dog-Owner Bond

Reinforce Basic Obedience

Prepare for Real-World Distractions

Offer Personal Attention in Private Groups

Are Dog Training Group Classes Necessary?

Read Less

Dog Training Elite knows dog training is truly a lifelong pursuit. As your puppy or dog masters the basics, you can move onto more complicated tricks and training. Maybe you’ve progressed from “sit” to seeing how long they can hold it, or you’re working on taking your pet through an obstacle course.

It can be hard to come up with new ideas to train your dog, and after months of having structured training one-on-one with your pet it can be especially difficult to know what to do next. What will benefit both you and your dog the most?

We offer dog training classes near you for puppies and older dogs that may be the answer you’re looking for. While group training classes aren’t always necessary, they can be extremely beneficial to both your dog and you.

Learn Why Dog owners choose Dog Training Elite

Dog Training Elite is definitely a 5+ star recommendation! Everything is very well organized right from the start. Our trainer (Clayton) was absolutely amazing and extremely professional. We are very experienced dog owners, but we learned new things (as it should be) and we are thrilled how our former stray dog, Ares, became a very well trained service dog. Again, great experience and without any doubt a top dog training organization.

Dog Training Elite LA was awesome! Clayton was absolutely incredible to work with throughout our 13-week service dog training program. We had the opportunity to work with him consistently each session, and that made such a huge difference. He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and accommodating, always taking the time to explain what we were working on and why. The results are amazing—our dog is only 11 months old and is already incredibly compliant, obedient, and confident thanks to Clayton’s guidance. We truly couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares and knows what they’re doing. Thank you Clayton and Dog Training Elite!

I’ve had a great experience training my puppy Lilikoi with dog Training Elite Los Angeles. We’ve been working with trainer Dominique, and over 7 sessions my puppy has learned commands sit, down, place, crate, come, gentle, and many more. I’ve also seen a huge improvement with pulling on walks, and my now 6 month old puppy is already skilled at staying calm in crowded places as people and dogs walk by when I command her to. Dominique has done an amazing job teaching me how to teach my pup—all of the little details about my own body language and reward timing that matter so much in successful puppy training. I’ll be practicing what Dominique has taught us over the next couple of months and plan to come back to LA next summer just to work with Dog Training Elite again on my dog’s service dog training.

Dominique was absolutely PHENOMENAL! She was super knowledgeable, knew how to work with “problem areas” and did a great job training ME TOO! Hah! She was able to answer any questions, guide me in how to get my puppy to do things I needed/wanted him to do. My puppy could not have loved her more. I was VERY happy with my sessions with Dominique! 100% recommend

Training with Dominique was truly a transformative experience for my dog. He went from an out of control puppy to a more mature well adjusted dog who can calmly walk through a crowd of people. I definitely recommend!

Started with a dog that was all over the place! NOW he's calmer and the commands learned helps keep him this way!

Excellent Experience with Clayton. We had a Belgian Shepherd/German Shepherd Mix with all of the behavioral issues they come with. After going through the program with Clayton it's like we have a different dog, improved in every way.

We were recommended this service through a friend and were lucky to do 8 sessions with Clayton. Our rescue dog was an anxious, reactive mess when the training started and has blossomed into a more confident dog. We found Clayton to be incredibly knowledgable with any questions we had. He was patient with our girl as she took multiple sessions to warm up to him. In our case, our dog was a recent rescue and she had some health issues, unrelated to the training, develop during the eight weeks. Not only was the team at Dog Training Elite very flexible and understanding of needing to reschedule here and there; but also, Clayton adapted his training style to her ongoing needs. We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to begin training with Dog Training Elite and would recommend them to anyone looking for dog training! Our dog is a much more relaxed and confident dog and completely trusts us as her leaders. We will continue to practice what we've learned and plan to attend some of the group classes as well! Thank you Clayton!

I recently completed 8 training sessions with Clayton for my dog, Kobe (Rhodesian Ridgeback), and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Clayton was always on time, professional, and incredibly patient — not just with Kobe, but also with my two young boys who constantly wanted to be part of the training. Kobe learned so many new skills, including sit, down, and come, and we also worked on agility to help build his confidence. I’ve already seen huge improvement, and Kobe keeps getting better every week. I highly recommend Clayton and Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated trainer.

I got a puppy and wanted to get him trained professionally as I had no idea how and wanted to do it right. Clayton was great and he helped my pup, percy, become a better obedient dog. I learned a lot as training your pup is also training yourself how to reinforce what you learn too. I highly recommend this program.

We started training with our new rescue Luna a few months ago and it has completely changed our experience with her. Before, she was sometimes unpredictable and reactive. With the structure of the private training course with Clayton and the group sessions, we’ve seen a drastic improvement in Luna’s behavior as well as our approach to being pet owners. I have so much more confidence with Luna and have control over any situation we’re in. This training has helped us create a great foundation for us going forward, and we’re so grateful for this experience. Thank you so much Clayton + team!

We had such a great experience with Clayton! He's knowledgeable, succinct, and was able to answer all the questions we had about specific situations we go through with our dog. We did the Gold package and it was the perfect way for us to learn how to handle training situations as the parents for our 3 yo pup.

Great training experience with Clayton! Taught me skills to manage my golden retriever puppy. She is now a pleasure to take in public and has learned to respect me. The scheduling process was quite easy too. Would highly recommend for dog training!

Kyla was so so good with both of our very different dogs! They loved her, and she taught us compassionately but sternly how to bring the right energy to our time with our pups so that we can all thrive together. Truly Enzo and Archie will miss their time with her! So much gratitude 🙏
Lisa Swanson

Kyla has been an amazing trainer to work with! She helped me establish all the ground rules with my puppy and most importantly, helped me gain confidence in enforcing them and in taking the leadership role with my puppy! I know feel like I have a closer bond with my new puppy. I feel confident and in control. And I can tell my dog appreciates and needs that from me. She heels on the leash so well, has good recall and then all the basic commands like sit, stay, down, come, off, no, leave it, drop it… and most importantly- YES! Kyla taught me the importance of a meaningful NO and a praiseful YES. Kyla can read dogs ( and owners!) so well and is a wonderful trainer! Thank you Kyla and Dog Training Elite!

Kyla did an amazing job training my rescue Chihuahua mix. I am very satisfied with results. We did not use an e-collar. I would recommend her and Dog Training Elite.

Aug. 16, 2025

Kyla is a miracle worker!!! I adopted my GSD, Delta, two years ago from my local animal shelter. She went from being a sweet overly friendly dog to being an extremely reactive dog to people and dogs. She pulled, lunged, barked, growled, and walking her was an absolute nightmare! I’ve had both people and trainers tell me to rehome her or surrender her because it was impossible to train her due to the amount of dogs around my neighborhood. While I was tempted to rehome her, I decided to give Dog Training Elite a chance and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting for them to be able to help me with Delta. Booking an appointment was quick and easy, no waitlist. On the first class, Kyla was able to take Delta out and get her to actually focus on training rather than her looking around, anxiously panting, and barking at thin air. By the second class, Kyla addressed the reactivity towards other dogs and Delta has not been the same dog of one year ago ever since. Kyla has helped me grow my confidence, understand my dogs (not just Delta), she’s great at explaining, patient, supportive, and very encouraging. Not once in the classes did I feel discouraged or shamed by Kyla because I couldn’t control Delta, she is an amazing dog trainer and I highly recommend Kyla and Dog training Elite. Worth every penny!! Money well spent!

Our trainer, Clayton, has been both amazing and professional in our time working together. He has a wealth of knowledge and as the training has progressed, is tailoring our sessions more and more to our dog’s specific areas of weakness. We hardly recognize the dog that Clayton has helped our pup become because he has learned so much! We are learning, too, and Clayton takes the time to fully explain the reasons behind the actions while maintaining impeccable patience. The staff at Dog Training Elite has also been great. Our experience overall has been stellar. Highly, highly recommend Dog Training Elite, and especially Clayton!

I cannot recommend "Clayton" highly enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior but also genuinely passionate about what he does. He consistently arrives on time for every session, which speaks volumes about his professionalism and respect for our time. What really stands out is how patient and attentive he is—not just with the dogs, but with the owners as well. He takes the time to explain each step of the training process and makes sure both the dog and the handler are comfortable and confident before moving forward. His calm and confident demeanor puts dogs at ease, and you can immediately see the positive response they have to him. It's clear he understands the unique needs of service dog training and approaches it with both expertise and care. The progress we've made under his guidance has been incredible, and I feel truly supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, skilled, and genuinely dedicated to helping you and your dog succeed, this is the trainer you want.

I had the best experience with this company, and I honestly didn’t think my fur kid would learn so much. I am so grateful to The trainers here, especially Clayton. He is a true dog whisperer. I’m going through a very difficult time with my child who has relapsed from cancer and just getting our fur kid trained to be able to notify us when it’s time for my child to take his chemotherapy medicine is amazing and very helpful.

Reviews & Testimonials

Building Social Skills and Community

Read Less

Classes are a mix of all dog breeds and sizes, and our classes provide necessary socialization skills and practice around high levels of distraction. We like to make our group classes exciting for both dogs and handlers, and we have created fun training games and an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing.

We are building a community and our dog training groups tend to feel like a family and less like a dog training group. Friends are made, bonds are formed, and both dogs and dog Owners look forward to their once a week group training sessions.

Signs Your Dog is Ready for Training

Read Less

Every dog can benefit from training, and it can sometimes be a lifelong pursuit. If you’re wondering if training is right for you, here are some signs your dog is ready for training:

Your Dog is Destructive: Whether it’s chewing on furniture or shoes, going to the bathroom in your house, or anything else your dog is not supposed to do -- it’s time to get them trained out of these sorts of behaviors. Even older dogs who were previously well-behaved may develop bad habits later in life and need a training refresher.
Your Dog is Aggressive: Aggression can manifest itself in multiple ways; perhaps your dog growls or snaps at you when you get close to his or her food, or toys. Even more concerning is when your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans. Yes, sometimes dogs play in a way that seems aggressive, but if your dog is lunging at or snapping at people or other dogs while you’re on walks, it’s time to get a trainer’s help.
Your Dog Misbehaves on Their Leash: Walking nicely on a leash does not come naturally to most dogs but it is something that can be learned. Again, even older dogs who previously walked well on a leash may start to act out.
Your Dog is Anxious or Fearful: If your dog is dealing with severe separation anxiety, or is fearful in new environments, a trainer can help. For separation anxiety a trainer will work with you and your dog on a routine to reassure your dog. General training, especially in group classes, can help dogs build confidence.
Your Dog Ignores You at the Park: Or on walks, or whenever you’re outside. If your dog is obedient when they’re in your home, but loses their mind outside, he or she would benefit from more training. Group classes can be especially helpful because they put your dog in a safe environment with the kinds of distractions you experience outside. Training your dog in situations where there are other distractions helps them learn to obey even when there are other stimulating sights and sounds.

The DTE Difference

Read Less

Regardless of whether it’s an in-home training session or a group class, the Dog Training Elite training method is the same. We focus on “Classical Conditioning” or the “Pavlovian” method. Research has shown this approach as more effective with longer lasting results than other training methods.

We do not use harsh punishments or shock collars and instead pair balanced training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog. It is a gentle electronic pulse, similar to the tug of a leash, used to get the dog’s attention. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

Other dog trainers use harsh static collars or spray collars which have been shown to be less effective. The difference becomes clear when comparing a dog that is trained out of anxiety and intimidation vs. a dog who truly desires to please from the inside out. Our method nurtures a dog’s loving and naturally obedient nature.

Benefits of Group Classes

Just like humans, dogs all have their own personalities. Some may receive and respond to all the training they need from private, one-on-one instruction, while others may find great benefit from attending a group class. Group classes can be a great asset to both dogs and their owners, since it provides them with many different situations and experiences they may not otherwise have.

Here are some other benefits of attending group dog training classes:

Socialization

Group dog training classes have a number of benefits, particularly with socialization. Taking a puppy to group classes once they’re immunized will help them grow into a well-socialized dog comfortable with other dogs and humans. Older dogs who weren’t well socialized as puppies can learn to socialize in a small, safe environment. Trainers will recognize signs of possible conflict between dogs and help owners learn how to diffuse situations and take care of their pets, and dogs will learn how to interact appropriately with each other.

Dog training classes can also be beneficial for owners! If you bring your dog to a group class, you’ll meet other dog owners and become part of a community. Dog Training Elite likes to make group classes exciting for both dogs and their owners, so expect to learn fun training games and enjoy an environment that feels less like a class and more like a social outing. Classes meet once a week, and both you and your dog will look forward to going every week.

Focus

Besides the socialization benefits, group classes are a great tool for dogs to learn to work around distractions. If your dog is perfectly obedient at home, but loses his or her mind at the dog park and forgets all they’ve learned, group classes are the way to go. Group classes are a safe way to help your dog learn to listen to you, even when they’re surrounded by exciting sights, smells and sounds.

Hands on Learning

In a dog training class, you are in control of the training. While your pooch may occasionally be used as the ‘demo’ dog, there will be very few instances where your dog only has to listen to the trainer. With a class, you are the trainer, and the instructor is just acting as a guide. With all of Dog Training Elite’s training options - in-home or through a class - you will always be the No. 1 trainer, not just sitting on the sidelines as someone else takes charge.

Each dog is unique, and the small classes at Dog Training Elite Los Angeles will allow you and your dog to still receive personalized attention and training. You will also have the opportunity to learn from other dogs and their owners. Imagine the trainer advises another owner how to help their dog learn to play independently. Later, you might remember the advice and apply it to your own dog, away from the class.
