Border Collie Training in Naperville, IL

Please PLEASE do yourself a favor and give Dog Training Elite a call for all your dog training needs. They were highly flexible with my work schedule and always answered my questions. Pauline, Jamie, and Grace are all AMAZING to work with. Informative, professional, and very kind. You can tell these trainers love what they do, and do it well! They all handled my 2 year old female Mal-Shep mix with ease. I swear I picked up a different, more well trained dog each day of her training! Extremely clean facility and seamless communication between all the trainers. When it came to our homework, I was provided a personalized video of the trainer and my dog working on the current assignment AND a fully written assessment on what my dog excelled at and what she still needed to work on. Lady and I thank you for all your hard work and dedication. I will always recommend Dog Training Elite. Your furry friend will thank you :)

The team at Dog Training Elite Western Chicago Facility demonstrated exceptional patience, reliability, and firmness throughout our dog training journey, providing us with the encouragement and knowledge needed to achieve successful in-home dog. I recently enrolled my puppy, Cooper, in a two-week training program that focuses on basic obedience using an e-collar, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Empathetic and Professional Trainers: The trainers were incredibly empathetic and professional. They took the time to understand Cooper's unique personality and tailored the training to suit his needs. Their approach was gentle yet firm, ensuring Cooper felt comfortable and secure throughout the day. Comprehensive Training: The program was comprehensive, covering all the essential commands like sit, down, come, place and heel. The use of the e-collar was explained thoroughly, and I was reassured that it would be used responsibly and humanely. The trainers provided detailed instructions on how to continue the training at home, which was incredibly helpful. Remarkable Progress: Cooper showed remarkable progress after just a few days. His responsiveness to commands improved significantly, and he seemed more confident and well-behaved. The e-collar was a great tool in reinforcing positive behavior without causing any distress. Convenient and Flexible: The all-day format was perfect for my busy schedule. I could drop Cooper off in the morning and pick him up in the evening, knowing he was in good hands and receiving top-notch training. The facility was clean, safe, and well-equipped, providing a great environment for learning. Video: the trainers post daily videos showing what they are working on that you can view to make it easier to continue the training at home, during and after the program is finished. Overall, I highly recommend this puppy training program to anyone looking to improve their puppy's obedience and behavior. The combination of expert trainers, effective use of the e-collar, and the all-day format made it a fantastic experience.

DTE is absolutely amazing! We signed our puppy, Hank, up for two puppy camps and the platinum training package and have no regrets doing so. The facility is clean, open, and easy to get to. The staff is SUPER friendly while also being professional. You can tell the trainers truly care about your dog’s well-being and comfort. Pauline and Grace have given Hank so much love that when we bring him to “school” he can’t wait to go inside! He is picking up all of his ques and commands very well. If you are a busy person who doesn’t have the time to dedicate personally training your dog, this place is perfect for you.

The expert instructors at Dog Training Elite Western Chicago Facility demonstrated remarkable patience, reliability, firmness, encouragement, and knowledge, expertly guiding my puppy through effective training techniques, whether we were working on foundational obedience skills or targeting more complex behaviors like leash training for dogs.

Amazing! Wonderful , caring staff and very effective training

The trainers at Dog Training Elite Western Chicago Facility are the best and most reliable people I have met! Everything is well communicated and easy on my side. The facility is so clean inside and out. DTE hosts also amazing activities themed after holidays! Overall they are an amazing experience! Pauline is Benny main trainer and let’s just say me and Benny both love her. She has made such an amazing impact with Benny basic obedience and I can’t wait for our next step with DTE and start service dog training! Thank Pauline and Grace for helping Benny get to wear he is now!

Grace and the team were so patient with our Lab Puppy Duke. They took their time with him and kept a consistent tone to keep him engaged and listening at all times.

Grace at Dog Training Elite Western Chicago Facility demonstrated exceptional patience, reliability, firmness, encouragement, and knowledge throughout the training process, helping my dog master various commands and behaviors. Grace's expert guidance and personalized approach made Dog Training Elite, and of course Grace, the perfect choice for my puppy's in-home dog training needs.

DTE is incredible. They have helped my dog and I develop a deeper bond and trust, all while teaching her how to be a good listener!! Grace and Pauline are super experienced, make group classes fun, and truly love what they do which the dogs can tell! The owners, Katie and Tim are so knowledgeable, I have seen them help dogs and owners come into their own (myself included). I simply cannot express how amazing DTE has been for me and my dog.

We chose Dog Training Elite because they do e-collar training, which is a really great communication tool for our stubborn Great Pyrenees. We did the 7-day training camp with trainer Pauline and noticed an improvement after day 1 in our dog’s recall. We’ve also been able to better manage her leash reactivity. The group classes are fun and engaging, and they host them at different locations around the area. All of the trainers are awesome - patient and sweet with the dogs and always willing to answer questions. We will 100% be using Dog Training Elite for any future dogs we get!

Our dog didn't play well with others. If another dog showed any interest she responded by lunging, barking, and generally being out of control. Not only was this embarrassing, it was unsafe. She nearly caused my son to fall as she dashed to get other dog. Prior to working with Dog Training Elite, we tried two different trainers. Both relied exclusively on positive reinforcement and neither was able to change our girl's behavior. While this approach works with a lot of dogs, it wasn't helpful for us. We found the combination of e-collar training coupled with treats and praise to be very effective. I couldn't be happier with the results.Also, I'm a fan of the Saturday morning group classes. The opportunity to interact with other dogs has made ours much more relaxed. Although she's still a work in progress, she's so much better and safer now.

I am so grateful for finding Dog Training Elite Naperville, the owners and the rest of the team are off the charts amazing, kind, caring, knowledgeable and supportive. Ollie and I are forever grateful and will be their cheerleaders, we both highly recommend Katie, Tim, Pauline and the rest of the team! ☮️❤️🐾

Dog Trainingin Naperville, IL Very interesting and good quiet place to relax,

I am so happy with the progress that my dog has made since starting at dog training elite! Pauline was absolutely fantastic in explaining everything thoroughly and I’m looking forward to seeing my dogs progress!

Tim and Katie are the ultimate dog trainers! My Quinn’s behavior has improved dramatically since we trained there. They came to my home annd eventually we did location tests at various stores and locations. And this is a Western Chicago location but I love that now, no matter where I move, I can find another location and join them for weekend group training for free. My dog is now my certified service dog. She knows when she’s “on the job” and is so excited to wear her vest. Thank you Katie and Tim!

Dog Training Elite has been amazing every step of the way with my son's service dog. From assisting us in finding a dog/breeder for autism service dogs, preparing our family prior to the arrival of Scout, working with us in defining Scout's service skills, to helping us refine my son's understanding of how to be the main handler! We consistently get compliments on his manners, gentle mannerisms (he's a 95lb sweetie!), and the support others see him providing my son. Thank you Dog Training Elite!!!

Ms Katie and Ms Pauline are absolutely incredible! So much care and love in their work. They transformed my crazy pup to a manageable good girl! Of course still a puppy but now I have an amazing foundation of obedience to work with. Ms Pauline your amazing walking us through the day. Thank you so much and we will see you soon for more! BB sends hellos to Russo!!

Pauline did such a great job with Harlies (my dog) training! She makes you feel so comfortable when discussing your pups progress and you can tell she genuinely cares about the success of your dogs training. I love that we went with them for our dogs training and cannot wait for the group classes!!

If I could give more than five stars I would! My experience with Dog Training Elite has been incredible thus far. Katie and Pauline have been incredibly kind, thorough and helpful throughout our entire training process! Every morning and evening Pauline has walked me through specific training focuses and how Hendrix,my two year old Newfie,has responded each day. Not only that, but she puts very detailed effort into training write ups & videos so that I can apply what’s been taught each day! They have been so helpful to reference for continued training at home. It can be challenging trusting others with our pets, but Hendrix loves training and spending time with Pauline. I can tell she’s so loved by your team and we are forever grateful for the hard work and help. Can’t wait to continue with group training & additional courses. :)

Drop off days not helps reinforce their training, but for the young pups that need more activity when moms at work it’s great!! Money well spent
