Dog Training Elite is a professional, family-owned dog training company with over 40 years of experience that specializes in strengthening the bond between your dog and your family, with a strong emphasis on teaching your dog the highest level of obedience, despite even the toughest level of distractions.
In a safe, controlled environment, we guide your dog through essential socialization skills, teaching them to remain calm, focused, and well-mannered, even in the midst of distractions.
One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Bend / Salem.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.
We both grew up in Oregon with animals taking a significant role in our lives from a young age through raising our own children. The decision to open the first Dog Training Elite in Oregon was easy. We know what it is like to have struggles with dog behavior issues, and we also know the blessing it can be to have a dog you can take anywhere. Our goal is to help dog owners and their dogs have an incredible relationship enjoying all that Oregon has to offer. We love to take our dogs hiking in the wilderness, running through the forest with our horses, and on fishing trips in streams, lakes, rivers and the ocean. Our furry friends also love enjoying the local breweries (where allowed) and many of the activities that make our communities special. Our dogs are literally our best friends, and we hope to make it easy for yours to be the same.
