Poor Socialization
My name is Milo
Hi. My name is Milo, and I have a bit of a 'ruff' time making friends with my fellow canines. You see, I'm all about making new friends, but when it comes to meeting other dogs, I get a tad overwhelmed. I’d like to get out more, please.

My name is Scout
Hello, everyone, my name is Scout, and I have a little, um, 'nipping' habit. I'm all about spreading love and happiness, but sometimes, my excitement gets the best of me, and I end up with a playful nibble or two. I want others to feel safe around me.

Dog Training Elite North Atlanta - Excessive Barking Training in Atlanta, GA. DTE
My Problem:
Excessive Barking
My name is Link

My Problem:

I'm Dexter, and I've got a bit of a wild streak when it comes to the 'down' and 'come' commands. Sometimes my adventurous spirit leads me astray when those commands are in play. It would really make me happy to learn how to listen.

My Problem:
Chewing & Digging
My name is Charlie
I'm Charlie, and I've got a little hobby, or shall we say, an issue – destructive chewing and digging. I simply can't resist the allure of gnawing on furniture or unearthing buried treasures in the garden. I'm on a mission to mend my ways.

FAQs

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 Atlanta.

    Gosia and Michael Billedo of Dog Training Elite-Northeast clearly love dogs and love what they do. They are patient and disciplined trainers who know how to read both the dog and the dog owner to suggest what will help the dog to master all the commands. I recommend them without qualification to anyone who wants to enjoy the peace of mind of having your dog comply with commands.

    We are very pleased with Dog Elite Training. Gosia is amazing and was very thorough about training our baby Leia. We seriously recommended their services. Training goes a long way when it comes to ordinary circumstances and we are glad that we decided to get Leia on board with their Gold program. Can’t wait to try their Therapy Dog program. We are so grateful about having all the support from Dog Elite to get Leia where she is now. Jessica was also very quick to communicate throughout the whole program. Kudos to their excellent customer service.

    They really took the time to understand how to help my dog. Every trainer paid attention and listened to what he needed. They really helped us form a strong bond. The classes are so wonderful for controlled socialization as well! Hugo's week isn't right if we don't go to class!

    Cadey was having some major issues with reactivity and jumping on people. She's a big dog. She's a Lab/Pit mix and 65 pounds--so I couldn't allow this to continue. She's very smart but has always been stubborn. It took a while, but the reactivity is almost completely gone. She still gets excited to see people but has stopped jumping almost completely. These folks love animals and are very honest about YOUR role in the training. If you do the work and help your dog, the process works flawlessly. So far, I'm very pleased. 5 paws up!

    I cannot recommend Dog Elite Training enough! My experience with them has been absolutely fantastic and life-changing for both me and my furry companion. From day one, Sable showed unparalleled expertise and genuine passion for what she does. She took the time to understand my needs and my dog's unique needs and tailor a training program that addressed specific behavioral challenges. Throughout the training sessions, Sables positive reinforcement techniques and patient guidance transformed my dog's behavior in ways I never thought possible. From leash pulling to obedience commands, my pup has made remarkable progress, thanks to her professional approach. What truly sets Dog Elite Training apart is their emphasis on building a strong bond between the owner and the dog. Sable not only trained my dog but also empowered me with the tools and knowledge to continue reinforcing the training at home. The trainers were always available to answer my questions and provide ongoing support. The results speak for themselves - my dog's confidence has soared, and our relationship has deepened. Sable at Dog Elite Training not only trained my dog, but she also helped create a harmonious and joyful environment at home. If you're looking for top-notch dog training, Dog Elite Training is the place to go. Sables expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients and their dogs make Dog Elite Training truly outstanding. Thank you for transforming our lives and bringing out the best in my furry friend!

    We really enjoyed our experience with Dog Training Elite North Atlanta. I first met them at a home show and they set up a free evaluation. There's no obligation but it gives you an opportunity to have them see how your dog behaves. First, they come to your home for training and work with you based on your schedule. That is so helpful. They were always on time and many times stayed after the hour session while we finished the lesson. Our plan had 6 in home sessions with 13 group sessions at a local park. We are in the middle of the group sessions and have seen great improvements in areas that had been issues. They have all been very patient and super loving towards our dog. We had the same trainer throughout which helps them see the progress and continue to work on areas that need work. The photo in the review is the trainer, Mike, teaching ours how to walk nicely on leash. The trainer starts the lesson, showing you what to do. Then they have you try, offering help as needed.

    Wow, I feel so lucky that of all the dog trainers in my area I hit the jackpot with DOG TRAINING ELITE ! I admit I was a bit out of my league trying to train my Pug puppy on my own. The trainers at Dog Training Elite come to YOUR home , it makes so much sense because issues can be addressed related to your needs and schedule. Gosia was my trainer for the Puppy Prep Classes, but they offer several options . They cover socializing, manners, leash walking and well you name it ! Gosia was very encouraging, patient , sweet and so knowledgeable. I highly recommend DOG TRAINING ELITE, success beyond my expectations .

    My puppy Stetson has gained so much from the training at Dog Training Elite. He is only 9 months old and can sit, lay down, place, heal, come and has manners in public. While he still has more work to go, he is only 9 months, he has progressed so well. Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. they help build your confidence while building the dogs. I would highly recommend.
