Behavioral Training in Dogs in Manchester

I adopted a rescue from Texas. (Henry) His Bio said how great he was with people, children, other dogs, etc. They neglected to let us know that he was a raving maniac who had no idea how to behave. I would never return a rescue, but if I did, this one would be the one. I called Rene who came over and did the evaluation. He had no doubt that Henry was 100 percent trainable. I doubted him, but was at wit's end, so gave it a try. Beth came over and did the home training for 5 weeks and 3 weeks outside at Home Depot, etc. Let me just say Rene and Beth are both amazing. And Rene was right. After the initial 8 weeks, (actually after the 3rd class) we had a completely different Henry. He is extremely well trained (not military style either, although I"m sure if that is what you want, they could do that) and now a pleasurable part of our family. Complete 360 with their training. Easy to follow and Beth explains everything perfectly. If you have any behavioral problems with your dog, this is the place to go. I can't recommend them enough. I would give them more than the 5 stars allowed.

I discovered DET online when we knew we needed outside help to train our lab. We couldn’t take her for a walk without intense struggle. Now with Beth’s help she is able to accompany us on walks and in our truck. We work her every day, using the tools we were given to continue her ability to obey and cooperate in a loving way. We couldn’t have done this without Beth. The DET is still part of our lives with group training and public exposure. They are all about what’s best for our dog and we are very thankful.😊

I am just updating my review as our puppy has turned 1. We have love working with Rene and Beth. Our son and his dog work beautifully together and are getting ready to start going to school together! The group classes are a bonus as it provides additional touch points and time for us and our pup to see other handlers, pups, and learn to work with distractions. We hope to keep doing those regularly as time goes on to keep us sharp. From last winter: We are working with DTE-GNH to train our Autism service dog (puppy). We just completed the 4-week puppy training (we started at 9 weeks of age). This is NOT your average puppy kindergarten. I can say without hesitation that this is the best preparation and training we have ever had (and we have had dogs for decades). Everyone remarks how calm and well behaved our pup is. Last night we took him to a nice restaurant and he laid down quietly under the table the whole time (after investigating the under the table environment for a few minutes). And the training is gentle and educative (for both pup and even experienced dog owners) and focuses on building a strong relationship with the puppy and building trust to enable a calm demeanor and calm handling... and it's all positivity. Our pup wows everyone and I feel so secure going into new environments with him, and we feel so ready for the next stage.

I can’t say enough positive things about Beth and Dog Training Elite! Beth is helping my pup and me go down the path of becoming therapy dog certified and I could not ask for a more knowledgeable and supportive training partner. She told me when we started this journey people don’t comment on misbehaving dogs but you will get tons of comments and compliments on a well trained dog. She could not have been more accurate!! I am now very comfortable and confident taking my naturally shy pup into public places, meeting new people and animals without concern because I know he and I both have the training and knowledge to handle any situation that comes up. As a life long dog owner I am incredibly impressed with our weekly training and group classes where we get to practice our skills in all kinds of settings. I HIGHLY recommend Dog Training Elite for anyone looking to provide their pup with the highest level of confidence and ability to be the best companion possible!! Love love love this training program!

Beth was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. From the moment I contacted the company about training for my dog that I had not even yet picked up from the breeder to now, I could not have asked for a better experience. Beth truly cares about the success of both you and your dog long term. She wants you to be successful and she gives you all the tools and skills you need to make that happen. I started this journey with my 8 week old puppy in the puppy course, he then progressed into platinum obedience. Through everything we have both gained so much knowledge that I will take with me forever. Zuma will hopefully be entering the service dog program soon. Something that is only offered by select few companies in the area. I cannot wait to continue to work, continue to grow, and continue to learn in the group classes that are offered for the life of the dog. I am so happy I found Dog Training Elite New Hampshire and Beth. I just wish our time could just keep going furever.

Beth is awesome. She worked with my puppy Rubble who was a little nervous. He gained confidence with each new training and his goofy personality came out. The training I receive has made a huge difference with my handling of all my dogs. I to have more confidence in my ability to read, train, direct, and guide my dog through new experiences. I am looking forward to group trainings to continue build our skills together.

Really enjoy training with Beth and Rene! Aiming to train my 2yo bernedoodle Ernie to be a therapy dog, and they were among the few who offer therapy specific training. We just completed the obedience training pre-req and Ernie is behaving better than ever! You can tell Beth and Rene truly love dogs, and it’s clear they are really experienced with all different types of dogs/behaviors etc. Ernie loves people, but can be a bit timid, especially around men. We did a number of sessions in the community and with their guidance Ernie has gained so much confidence. Just this morning I took him out to greet the landscapers, all but one of whom was male and he just nuzzled right up to them to say hello. His anxiety is virtually gone and he now regularly contains his excitement without jumping etc. We’re now enjoying the complementary group classes, which have been great for getting exposure to other dogs/distractions, and are gearing up to start the therapy program! I’ve done a lot of training with Ernie in the Manchester/Londonderry area (Ecollar, obedience classes, in home, etc.), many of which were good and got results, but this DTE team is top of our list in terms of value, personalized attention, and their general joy of dogs! Would recommend to anyone who wants a positive experience for their dog alongside the results!

Beth and Rene were wonderful with our Abby. Not only did they patiently worked with her and helped me to have more confidence to take her in the public. I can now take Abby for walks and anywhere I go see can go. I love the training in the park that is offered even after graduation. I only wish I could have kept her graduation cap and got a graduation certificate to frame. Thank you so much for everything you have done and everything you keep on doing. Love Abby and Brenda

I can't express how thankful and grateful I am for Rene. Jasper was already a good dog, but now he is amazing. His obedience is next level. I love how I can always message Rene with questions and it is answered in a timely manner. 100000% would recommend.

Have worked with many trainers over the past 3 yrs and have appreciated this group the most. Had fun doing the platinum obedience course. They even humored me and we went to Rye beach in Nh for last class as dreamed of having my dog off leash here. Had great time and will b using them for future training needs. Reliable training with results can’t recommend enough!

We have a very "talkative" older dog. When I first met Beth I was so happy that someone was able to comunicate to as well to me as my dog. Beth has taught both of us many new ways to improve. I am so grateful that Beth has the patience to keep us on the right path. After just a few months my 8 year old dog is listening better to me and behaving much better in public places. The group training that we are given are the game changer for us. Missy is better each time I take her. Even when things don't go as planned and I or my dog is stressed the whole team with DTE spoke kindly to us and made me feel so much more confident in myself and my dog. Thanks so much for all your help and I am looking forward to the group lessons. Laura

I had the most cathartic experience with Beth and Renee and staff! I am a therapist by trade and I recently adopted a “therapy dog” named Oliver. “Olly” doesn’t know he is being trained to be a therapy dog by everyone at Dog Training Elite and myself! He just has so much fun learning the commands and practicing tricks for treats at first and eventually without them! Something I thought was impossible. He is such an amazing emotional support animal for now thanks to Dog Training Elite and will be an amazing therapy dog once our training is done. I loved the 1:1 classes but really found a benefit from group classes once Oliver was ready to socialize with the other dogs. He impressed me with his skill at our most recent group class! I am looking forward to going into the community and creating one of the most beautiful gifts: a service animal for patients to love.

Amazing experience Beth. From start to finish she gave us great tools, tips, and lessons to help us train our lab. We got him during covid and as a result he had little exposure to other people and public places. Over the course of two months training with Beth he’s gone from being a skittish, unsure dog with little confidence to a confident boy who takes commands, and who is much more confident around people and out in public places. The difference is like night and day. I’d highly recommend making the investment in the team at Dog Training Elite. They are highly skilled at what they do and provide a great experience. Thank you guys!

My experience with Haley from Dog Elite was awesome! She was very knowledgeable and professional. She took the time to get to know our dog and me! Our training sessions were tailored to Moon's needs and the incorporation of new ideas for keeping him engaged was so valuable! Haley is a gem and loves the animals! Thank you to all of you for the work you are doing to make all the dogs and humans be better and more balanced!

The training was highly individualized to meet the specific needs of the my dog The patience demonstrated to us was deeply appreciated

We cannot recommend Dog Training Elite enough!!! Beth and her team are incredible. Our dog was a rescue who came to us as a puppy with a bit of PTSD - super timid around strangers and terrified of men. After a few weeks of training with Beth we saw an immediate improvement. Not only is the in-home training perfect for us, but we appreciate the real world training and continued socialization and sessions offered. Thank you team for helping Pongo build his confidence and live his best life!

Our large breed Great Dane was territorial, dragging me around and within weeks, he sit, stay, and come on command. He went from dragging me around by his leash to being leachless in a few sessions. So happy that me and my pet got training and now work very well together. Money well spent.

After years of searching finally we found the right training institute for our 3 years old GSD. Few months ago I saw a very well behaved GSD at homedepot. The owners told me that they had been to Elite Dog training at Manchester. I was so impressed by their dog’s behavior that immediately decided to go for Elite Manchester. We have been experiencing issues with our dog in social situations such as he is antagonistic towards other dogs and far from being friendly with boys under the age 12. We didn’t want to use a shock collar to correct his behavior nor we wanted to use the prong collar. Fortunately Elite provided us the correct tools and methods. The e-collar is a savior. Knowing that we can use it without hurting our pup 🐶 is a big relief. Their unlimited group training sessions with other dog is a huge advantage. I’m not aware of other training institutes that offers unlimited group lessons. The people at Manchester Elite are very cooperative, friendly and seem like they understand the training needs of each individual dog. We had Healy as our “In home” trainer. When I first saw her I was a bit skeptical about her ability as a trainer because she looks very young . But I would say she proved me wrong. She is so efficient at the same time warm and friendly. On her first day at our residence our GSD recognized her as his buddy and obliged to her commands. Healy proved it that to be an efficient GSD trainer age and appearance don’t matter. It is a huge relief to be able to invite guests to our home again without keeping the pup in the crate though we are still working on him to be friendly towards little boys. We are very grateful to the Elite team at Manchester, NH comprised of Rene, Beth and Healy
