Aggressive Dog Training in Metro Detroit, MI

I have been working with Elite Training since my dog was 10 weeks and the experience has been nothing but top notched. From getting him potty trained to now working on him becoming fully service dog certified it’s has been a seamless process. Our trainer, Haliey It’s been amazing with our pup shadow. If you’re on the fence about doing it, just do it. You won’t regret choosing them as your trainer.

Haley was phenomenal in working with my rescue Husky/Lab mix, Sage. The program and the ecollar training helped lay a very strong foundation for her developed and her temperament gets compliments everywhere we go. The cost of rescuing the dog and getting private training with Elite was less than many people pay just to get a pup from the breeder.

Hailey did an excellent job training my dog Sam. She was patient and very easy to understand her directions. She helped us learn how to handle our dog Sam so our handling of our dog easy for us. Thank you very much Hailey

Hailey has been working with us since we brought our Havanese puppy home at 8 weeks old. She has been wonderful! In addition to having a new puppy, my husband has Alzheimer’s. Hailey has been a god send helping me navigate my situation with warmth and understanding. My veterinarian told me our puppy is the best behaved Havanese he has ever met.

I am the principal at Lake Shore High. Hailey and the whole team at Dog Training Elite were so wonderful to work with. Hailey was such a pro at training our therapy dog, Tully. By the time the test came around, Tully was able to easily pass the test and provide such a wonderful service to our students. He is so well behaved and so loved in our school. Thank you to Hailey and the whole team at Dog Training Elite! We literally couldn’t have done it without you!

I had an amazing experience working with Steve. His training sessions showed me how to help my nervous dog feel more confident. He tailored each day to whatever issues I was having and showed me many fun ways to work with my pups. Alpha & Omega are definitely going to miss seeing Steve every week! We’re excited for group classes!

Haley was awesome with my new puppy. She was always flexible and accommodating with scheduling, and my dog’s behavior has improved a lot. I’m very excited for him to be off leash trained and impressed with how quickly Haley was able to work with him. Colby says thank you!

Cannot recommend this team enough Hailey has been amazing and is great at teaching especially how to teach through the stubborn :)

Dog Training Elite Southeast Michigan was the best investment I made in my puppy. Steve Dennison was our trainer and he was amazing. His patience, calm manner, and connection helped Milo, who is incredibly sweet but incredibly energetic, really transform into a happy, sweet, and very well behaved dog. I see the 180 transformation in him every day, but especially when we're around other people and dogs, whether it be at a store, downtown, or in the wonderful group training classes that are offered. He is still hesitant with people, but he no longer runs or tries to hide behind me when in public. If you're looking for a trainer for your dog, Dog Training Elite Southeast Michigan is the only trainer in the area that I would recommend.

Wow I can't say enough good things about this company. I checked out several companies and we definitely chose the right one. Hailey our Trainor is great and is a joy to work with in training. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and has an answer to any problem. If you need a dog Trainor please call Dte.

My two standard poodles were alone with us through Covid, and did not like other people or dogs, to the point it was a problem. If friends came to the house we had to crate them; if any friend walked into the crate room they barked ferociously. Now, we are at a point in life where we need in-home care—uh oh! Once we hired Hailey from Elite Dog Training, our concerns were steadily allayed as she worked with both us and our dogs. Hailey’s innate understanding of dogs (and people) enables her to solve some tough behavioral situations. Further, Hailey’s calm, friendly demeanor makes her a joy to work with. She is both professional and personable, a rare combination in anyone. We highly recommend her!

Hailey was superb! She helped use learn how to help transform our puppy from being unruly and at times defiant to a little gentleman! Her scheduling flexibility and accommodations made the whole training process easy to manage. Our final session taking our puppy on our customized kayak was the icing on the cake! Now that we “graduated”, looking forward to joining some of the group times to reinforce what we’ve learned. Thanks, Hailey!

We had a great experience with Dog Training Elite! We worked with Steve for behavior modification with our 3-year-old lab, Remi, who struggled with reactivity. She has made so much progress, and we are so happy with how far she has come. Steve was great to work with and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. We learned a lot, and it's made such a difference in our day-to-day life with Remi. We are so happy with the results and would definitely recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for help with their dog.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Austin was amazing to work with! His guidance, patience, and expertise helped Zeke successfully become a therapy dog. He made training enjoyable and gave us the confidence and skills we needed. We highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated trainer. Thank you, Austin!

Hailey is the best trainer ever! We've been working with her since my puppy was 8 weeks old, and he is the good boy he is today because of her. In just under a year, Arlo has now come everywhere with me as my service dog and has changed my life for the better.

I cannot say enough about the transformation that occurred with the training sessions we had with Hailey. Our puppy would not go outside, did not want to walk on a leash or go in the car. He was anxious and had separation anxiety! Now he is able to ride the car, go on walks and be in crowds at our son's baseball games without ant issues! We are so happy - he is just the best boy! We can't wait to see what he does next and we really could NOT have done it without all of the support and guidance from Hailey.

I got my dog Theo on April 2nd and from day one, he was a lot – in the most lovable way possible. Adorable, affectionate, and quick to learn new things, but he kept jumping our fence and running away. After the 7th incident, I was referred to Hailey at Dog Training Elite Southeast Michigan, and we had our consultation on April 21st. We paid for the training course the same day because we were blown away by how knowledgeable she was and knew we would benefit from her coming to our house to train him. After that, we scheduled training appointments every week at a time that worked best for me and my husband, and training began on April 30th. We have seen Hailey for training three times now, and by the third training (today, 5/14/26), it's like I have not a different dog, but a way better version of the dog I knew Theo could be. When I got Theo, he ran away constantly, had a very intense prey drive around my two cats (to the point where we had to keep them in our bedroom), jumped up on people upon meeting them, and had a few accidents in the hallway. We've had him a month and a half now, and he's received training from Hailey for about three weeks. Now, Theo doesn't run away, he runs around outside freely (I bought him a dog run, but don't even have to use it anymore), he coexists peacefully with my two cats (who we no longer have to keep in our bedroom) – he can even sit next to them on the couch – and he now knows the terms "place," "break," "sit," and "come." We were actually considering paying a company to install a higher fence and we were talking about installing doors in between our mud room and den so the cats could live in peace. After training with Hailey three times, we no longer need to hire someone else for those home repairs (thank goodness, since it probably would cost us around $21K). Thanks to Hailey, we got training for roughly 10% of that cost. We would highly recommend Hailey to anyone who thinks their dog might be "just a little too much." Three sessions and she gave us our home back – cats included. You will not regret it.

Duke is an 8-year-old stubborn Ridgeback. Hailey was our trainer and was Amazing With Duke. Highly recommend

Hailey has been amazing helping us learn to work with our young dog. I could not recommend this training method enough. Having off leash control has been life changing for us and our family.

Hailey is amazing. Our beagle went from wild and insane to actually trained and polite. The e-collar really makes all of the difference too. Training a beagle puppy (7 months old) is not easy, and Hailey truly made it all possible. We plan on continuing with more training. I highly recommend her, even with the most difficult dogs. She’s so smart and confident and I instantly trusted her knowledge.
