I had a great experience working with Dog Training Elite. Paul was phenomenal working with and training my service dog. He worked to figure out the best way to train my dog and what works for her. After working with Paul my dog still loves seeing him and working with him.

I can’t recommend Dog Training Elite Milwaukee enough! Mary was very thorough in her initial consultation and made us feel confident that my dog, Honey’s, behaviors were both workable and manageable. Although Honey is an extremely snuggly Doberman-hound mix, she has a very high prey drive and struggled with relaxed leash walking, nipping, some reactivity and struggled to listen in general. I was worried that she was not the kind of dog that could comfortably go into dog-friendly spaces. After the very first session, we saw a noticeable difference in Honey’s listening skills and I felt a much stronger bond with her! After the 8 sessions, I now feel confident in my ability to read her body language, give commands to help her know what to do next and to diffuse potential triggers, and, I now feel confident taking her into dog-friendly spaces after having practiced with Mary. We’re very excited for group classes next!

The best money we have ever spent. We learned so much at our in home and how to handle reactivity with our cat and other dogs. Highly recommend!

Paul was amazing! He worked with our 2 year old dog Maverick, who is a lab/Beagle mix. Maverick has issues with anxiety and meeting strangers. Paul was very professional and bonded very well with Maverick and taught us how we can help strengthen Maverick's confidence along with basic obedience training. Maverick is a very well behaved dog after 6 weeks of training and I would 100% recommend Dog Training Elite (MKE), especially Paul!

Our dog is a new, well behaved, charming dog because of Paul's guidance. We are really happy with the change he's made in her.

Paul was amazing in helping us train our 14 week old puppy- who was a handful when we started. Over the course of training, Maslow learned so quickly from Paul and loved every minute of it. Paul also did a wonderful job teaching us how to continue to help Maslow grow! We benefited from the training just as much, if not more than Maslow. I would highly recommend Paul! We cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was.

Paul at DTE was great to work with. He focused on the fundamentals, which gave us a strong foundation to build on. He patiently answered all our questions and worked with both our puppy and us to address behaviors on both sides. We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made and highly recommend his training.

Really enjoyed working with Paul. He worked great with our dog. He encouraged us to work with through out the week to reinforce the training. He is very knowable and we look forward to a great dog that listens.

Mary has been training my sister's Aussie mix (Daisey) as a service dog. I have the privilege to watch and learn as well; Mary is AMAZING at what she does. Mary is very good at explaining what she is doing/why she is doing it with the dog(s). She comes to our home to train and we have attended a couple training classes in Madison, which is so fun to watch and learn! I would 100% recommend Mary for obedience and/or service animal training. It is absolutely worth it!

Mary has been great to work with. She definitely knows how dogs operate and how to teach them proper behavior. Mary’s methods work! Our 1 year old sassy AmStaff knows how to be polite now! We can even take her for off leash walks now.

Right after we got our puppy, we started looking into professional training. We came across Dog Training Elite Milwaukee. The variety of situations and learning opportunities with one-on-one and group training sessions were really cool. Although, expensive we took the leap of faith and signed up for the gold package. As of writing this, we just finished our last one-on-one session with Paul. We literally cannot say enough about the experience. Paul was awesome at training not only our puppy but us to be far far better dog parents ourselves. Looking back now, we know that the 6 one-on-one sessions with Paul were worth the entire cost of the gold package. We’re starting group classes this weekend and couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Paul and Dog Training Elite Milwaukee.

Wow! Dog Training Elite has truly been a lifesaver for me. When I began the journey of training my service dog, Zeppelin, I never imagined he would learn how to stay calm or master commands like "place". Anina was incredibly patient, kind, and dedicated, with a remarkable "go-getter" attitude that made all the difference. I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done. I wholeheartedly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone in need!

The in home training was great! Anina was super helpful with answering all my questions and Winnie loved her. It was great we were able to get outside for one of our training sessions. I would highly recommend!

I am a first time pet owner at age 54. Not only that, I decided to purchase the dog of my dreams which is a Great Dane. I was clueless on how to command any of her behaviors including pooping, peeing, and paying attention. Paul, our trainer has given us so much confidence that not only do we recommend him and Dog Training Elite, we are thinking of getting another pooch.

Anina at Dog Training Elite was wonderful to work with! She showed me what my dog could be with the right training tools. She took the time to educate me in why my dog was behaving in certain ways and showed me how to correct the behavior. I cannot recommend her or Dog Training Elite enough!

We worked with Paul from Dog Training Elite Milwaukee over the last few months and he was wonderful! He taught us so much each session about how to approach dog training and worked really well with our dog, Belle. She loves him and was always excited to see him. We saw really great improvement in Belle's manners. He was really great at developing a tailored approach for our specific needs. Would highly recommend!!

Mary is amazing! My dog struggles with anxiety and Mary’s training honestly changed our lives. We can enjoy things with our dog that we just couldn’t before like super long walks, company coming over without being nervous about our dogs reaction. Mary is so patient and amazing to work with. I typically do not write many reviews but she is so worth it. Highly recommend!

As a teacher, she kept ferrets, a snake, and many fish, but after 30 years in education, she decided to pursue a career working with her favorite furry friends—dogs. She still continues her passion of educating people, but now she teaches them how to train their dogs in the best way possible.

Paul grew up with a variety of pets - including fishes, reptiles, cats, birds and his favorite of all, dogs. He has experience living and working with many dog breeds ranging from the American Bully, Pitbull, Doberman, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, and mixed breeds. His passion for dogs grew when he owned his first German Shepherd. Because of how skillful and intelligent the German Shepherd is and the impact it has made on Paul, he has decided to pursue a career in training dogs and educating people on how to build a better bond with their dog.

When Paul isn't out helping people to bond with their dog, he's either with his friends & family or hanging out with his dogs.
