    I highly recommend Dog Training Elite North Orlando as the company to use for service training or in general. Craig, is a knowledgeable, caring, and patient person who helped my life change, during and ongoing, since he helped me guide my dog to become my service animal. He made me feel like I could accomplish my goals with the first phone call, listened to my issues and made changes when I needed them so we as a team could get the results I needed. He made me feel like a person not my disablities. I am glad I made the call and I highly recommend anyone looking for a service dog trainer you make the call too. Thank you Craig and his team!

    Chelsea, Cheyenne and the entire Dog Training Elite Orlando team are absolutely amazing! They are caring and passionate about what they do. They listen and work with you every step to help you and your pup achieve your goals. I have recommended them to several of my friends and would give them 10 stars if I could.

    We had an outstanding experience working with Craig and his service dog training program for our dog, Pluto. From the very beginning, Craig demonstrated exceptional knowledge, patience, and professionalism. He took the time to understand Pluto’s personality and tailored the training to meet his specific needs. The transformation in Pluto has been incredible. His obedience, focus, confidence, and overall behavior have improved beyond our expectations. Craig not only trained Pluto but also educated us on how to maintain and reinforce the training at home, making the entire process successful and stress-free. What truly sets Craig apart is his genuine passion for dogs and his commitment to helping both dogs and their owners succeed. We always felt supported, informed, and confident throughout the training journey. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and trustworthy service dog trainer, we highly recommend Craig. Thank you for helping Pluto become the amazing dog he is today! — Yaelee & Pluto 🐾

    Craig is very knowledgeable and experienced with training canines. He is also very patient with the dogs and their humans too. We chose him to help us with our rescue dogs, who were totally wild / abused youngsters. They are progressing rapidly and we are so happy to have made this investment on our fur babies. Highly recommend his outfit ! G&LT

    Craig is an excellent trainer and an even better person. Craig took the time to explain the entire process, and it was incredibly gentle, easy, and effective. My Chihuahua is now so well trained and well behaved. She responds to commands quickly! The training gave me lasting results and so much more confidence. I would absolutely recommend Craig- Elite North Orlando - to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog trainer. I am beyond grateful for everything he did for us and our pup!

    Craig and Miriam are an amazing team, working with the handle and dog. I personally was in need of a great deal of help to train my service dog to do multiple tasks. I followed their directives, today I have a life again. Through the training my dog, I able to live life to the fullest whether it be going to the mall, hospital, church or grocery shopping my service dog is there working right beside me to handle any task he is called upon. Craig and Miriam want help you and your dog succeed at any stage of life either of you are at, it will change your a d your dogs life for the better. Update renewed our full access as it has been 2 years. Best thing we done. I love having it on Harley as we enter museums, state buildings, private events and my corporate office. It taken the stress out of life, people understand he is working, they as who done his training because he so well behaved and we are always in invited back. Here Harley chilling on a custom built shelf next to me as I work. People think he snoozing until little do they know his nose and one eye is on guard 24 / 7 ready to retrieve medicine or provide pressure treatment if needed.

    I highly recommend Service Dog Training, especially our trainer, Craig, to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service dog training. I’m very happy with the results and the positive impact this training has already had on our dog Pip. This definitely deserves 5 out of 5!

    I had high standards and expectations when starting training with my dog Teddy and DTE North Orlando excited my every expectation! I did training for my dog to be a service animal and I couldn't have asked for a better trainer. Teddy was ready for training and Craig helped him reach his fullest potential. The weekend group classes were an added bonus for Teddys training. You can also find more videos of training for Teddy on TikTok @Tedders_talk.

    Mr.Craig is a great trainer. I found the company using google search. I did not regret my decision. My dog begin training at 5 months and he has work hard to get we’re his at. Group class every weekend is great opportunity for any dog to get socialized. I loved my experience here.

    Cheyenne and Chelsea are amazing, sweet, kind and patient. We have been looking for a service dog for our son for a while. They have helped and considered us every step of the way, offering every option possible to meet our needs. We cant thank them enough. There genuine and actually want to help families and people with disabilities. We recently acquired our service dog Jake, through them and they were fantastic the whole way through. When they say unlimited support they mean it. They helped me build confidence in myself to make sure I was ready for the job. If you need help connecting with a future service dog look no further they will help you every step of the way. They got your back and their training help is excellent, professional and ethical.

    Where to start? I have APBT's and having dogs all my life, thought I could train these 2 as well. Well, I was wrong. Linked up with DTE and I have never regretted it. The owners and trainers are amazing. My pups were so happy to go spend the day with them for classes. Never once did my pups show signs they were mistreated, never. This video circulating is way out of context and doesnt do the trainer nor the program justice. Ive seen it and as an animal advocate myself, she did nothing wrong. The dog is not in pain and stopping gently on leash is a correct method. To the DTE staff keep doing the amazing job you're doing and ignore the haters and ignorant people out there that are jealous.

    Our special boy was a great family dog, but didn’t always come when called. Living on a busy street, we wanted to protect him from harm if he ever got outside accidentally. We met Dog Training Elite at the Home and Garden Patio show, where many dog companies advertise. Cheyenne and Chelsea were wonderful from the first time that we met them. They had several of their dogs with them, who were so well behaved. They would respond to multiple commands off leash with no treats or collars, just words of affirmation and petting. It was obvious they loved what they do and they loved their dogs. We did an in-house consultation and hired them for 4 in-home training sessions. They thoroughly explained their training process with e-collars, treats, and positive affirmation. By the end of class one, we already had a new dog. They not only trained him, but also educated us. By booking those sessions, we received lifetime access to group sessions. Two years later, Fosse still loves going to group walks at the Winter Garden Farmers Market and group training sessions around town. He is so proud and happy to be a well-trained and well-loved dog. He is smiling every time we hang out with Dog Training Elite and their trainers. They might be as proud of him as we are! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone in the Orlando area and so does Fosse!

    We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum and is about to start psychiatric training. 10/10 recommend and cannot thank the staff enough ! Cheyanne and Chelsea are amazing with evaluating and helping you choose which program would be the best fit for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . Logan and the other trainers that works with Remus , are super nice, helpful, and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program and dogs health! We saw an immediate difference in Remus within just 1-2 days of him training in the classes and it has boost his confidence level . He looks happier and shows a more confident and prouder stance in how he represents himself. In addition, the group classes and outings with the pack make it a great learning experience and welcoming to participate no matter where you are at training wise with your furry companion. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!! In addition, this facility DOES NOT HARM and DOES NOT USE shock collars and it’s at the owners discretion on what training tools the owner would like to use whether it be an e-collar ( that vibrates/sounds) , martingale collar, or prong collar.

    We had a good boy in Fosse before Dog Training Elite. Now, we have a great boy! He completed Therapy Training and loves to meet new friends and spend time with them. Chelsea and Cheyanne have been consistent resources and continue to help Fosse grow as a dog. I was hesitant to use the ecollar due to things I had read but when used correctly, it can truly change your relationship positively with your dog. Something else that I did not expect was the community that we would gain from other clients. If someone is investing this much into their dog, they are dog people. We often stay after class chatting with other owners. The pack walks are social fun for dogs and owners alike. DTE is not cheap, but we have been more than happy with the results and that has been a tremendous value.

    Craig has been an amazing trainer for my golden retriever since he was just 8 weeks old. We originally started training with the hope of him becoming my guide dog, but he turned out to be the sweetest lovey-dovey who just wants to love everyone he meets! Even though that path changed, Craig’s professionalism, knowledge, and patience made such a difference. My dog learned great manners, is incredibly well behaved in public, and is always a joy to take anywhere. Craig is truly great with animals, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and experienced trainer.

    Round 2 with DTE Orlando. Our first GSD has gone through their training program and was so successful that now my second GSD is in the program. All of the trainers are awesome and give great feedback on training for your doggies. Both Chelsie and Cheyenne have been there from the beginning with us and have helped tremendously. Shoutout also to Jasmine, Emily, Logan,and Brooke! It takes a Village 🥰

At Dog Training Elite in Orlando, we believe in-home dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home training allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

In-home training minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of In-Home Training Techniques

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
