Owner & Trainer | Dog Training Elite Orlando

Hello, my name is Cheyenne and these are 2 out of my 3 German Shepherds, Zara and Kenai. I am one of the owners of Dog Training Elite Orlando. Through advanced training it has allowed me to build an unbreakable bond with my dogs that before was never possible. Zara is my psychiatric service dog for PTSD. I have had many breeds of dogs throughout my life and my career background was in nursing. I am currently working part-time as a nurse practitioner as well as a dog trainer and I love every minute of it. I get to do my two favorite things in the world and still help people in a multitude of ways. This business has been mine and my wife’s dream for quite a while now. We are so happy and have more fulfilled lives in getting to do what we love everyday. We also breed German shepherds for service, active pets and protection dog work through Emery Ranch. So schedule your free in-home assessment and meet us in person!

Chelsea Emery
Owner & Trainer | Dog Training Elite Orlando

My name is Chelsea Emery and this is my pup Coco. I am an assistant nurse manager at Advent Health Orlando. I have been a nurse for 3 years now. I have been raised with dogs my entire life. I got Coco in 2015 and it was the best decision I ever made! She is so loving, caring and the biggest lap dog ever! I’ve always wondered what it would be like to own a business, but it wasn’t until I met my wife Cheyenne that I knew this was something that would be an amazing adventure! I’ve always wanted to give back and I believe this is the perfect opportunity. I once had a pup that I struggled to train and unfortunately had to give her up to someone else. I want to be able to provide options for every person no matter how difficult the dog so that they can keep their 4 legged companions! I am so excited for this journey so make sure you fill out our home assessment and we can’t wait to meet you!

Speaks Spanish & Portuguese | Dog Training Elite Orlando

My name is Maria Montalvo and I was originally born in Puerto Rico, but grew up majority of my life in Central Florida. I am a mother of 4 including my Best pup Scout! She and I were united through fate a few years ago as I was driving and noticed her too close to the road. I decided then that the best thing for me to do was pull over and see if I could help her. She immediately jumped in my car and little did I know that from that day forward that our lives will change for the better. Scout was clearly malnourished not well cared for, but still had the sweetest demeanor and willingness to please that I couldn’t think of a life without her. I mean who can do this to a great pup like her! Of course my kids were thrilled, and with the typical mother mentality thinking of how vet bills would go and how training would be not knowing her background. Going through that experience, and creating that bond with Scout is what really drives me to make the human and dog bond strong through great structured and balanced training. Being part of the Dog Training Elite family Has really given me a sense of pride in owning my well trained pup. I cannot wait to meet you and your best pup!!

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 Orlando.
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.

    Craig has helped me to train my 8 month old Heavapoo. She now gets in her create and I can leave her there while I go out. I live in a Condo so barking could be a problem. She now responds to quiet. Could not have done this without help. Highly recommend Dog training Elite.

    I have never been so impressed by a dog training company before these guys. When I first started thinking about a service dog, I had no idea what it would be like. As I met staff (Chelsea, Cheyanne, Maria, and the rest of the crew) they listened to my needs and gave their hearts beyond my expectations. All my hopes were fulfilled and then some., Dog Training Elite Orlando has been nothing but by my side this whole year during the training process with my now Service dog, Raven”. I can say that I have been truly blessed ❤️ Thank you all! You are the best in my book, 😊👍

    I cannot say enough about Dog Training Elite Orlando! One month ago we had a 3 month old puppy who was biting everything, jumping on everything (furniture, counters, people) and was only interested in chewing on our blankets, socks, shoes, and couch, and was completely uninterested in his toys. One month and 4 in-home training sessions later and we have THE happiest, most well-behaved boy who loves his toys AND loves training! Cheyenne and Maria have both been amazing and the results speak for themselves. Best decision we ever made! If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

    This company is by far the greatest I have ever come across during my 15 years of owning dogs. Maria was my trainer for my dog Cairo, she is always on time and is very knowledgeable. I’ve never had any issues with her not showing up or feeling like my money was wasted on any of the training days. The company is very flexible with options depending on what you need and that’s helped me out greatly due to my work schedule. We just finished the advanced obedience training and will be moving on to the service dog training soon. My dog has made vast improvements since I started this program and I am very excited to start the next phase of his training.

    When I contacted Dod Training Elite I was desperate because my baby Neo was so crazy. He would jump on people, bark at everything and everyone, walk on two paws pulling on his leash, hide when it was time to get him in his crate and so many other things. As soon as the first class we did with Maria we noticed a huge change on Neo. He immediately started listening to us and with each class things got better and better. One thing I was hesitating at first was using the training collar because I was scared it would hurt Neo. Maria was so helpful to explain how it worked and without the collar I don’t think we would have been able to train him. Besides Maria everyone else is so helpful and friendly. They always answer all my questions and communicate in the best way possible. A huge plus is the group classes on Saturdays because that’s extra training Neo gets with other dogs and the classes are so well organized. I highly recommend them!

    Maria was our trainer and did amazing with our dog Lambeau. He now listens to all the commands we’ve worked on and can go back on taking walks as a family. Look forward to our future vacations with our pup and all thanks to Maria and Elite Dog Training! We highly highly recommend it’s life changing!

    We are so unbelievably happy we went through with dog training with Dog Training Elite. One of our dogs had some scary reactivity issues that had us considering rehoming him and the other was a puppy with no manners. Today we have two dogs who are able to stay on their place and focus on us when new people come into our house. Barely even a bark!! Craig is an amazing dog trainer who brings such a calm energy to us and our dogs when we start to get stressed out. Within 5 weeks of Craig coming to our house, our dogs are completely different. We were also really impressed with that lack of a sales pitch Craig gave us on our first meeting. We looked into a few different training facilities and Craig felt the most upfront with what he recommended (not like he was looking for more money) which was a nice change of pace. We can’t recommend Craig and this company as a whole more, worth every penny.

    My three French Bulldogs were transformed with the professional one-on-one behavioral training of Dog Training Elite. DTE provides techniques which are easy to practice with your pups and very effective. All three of my Frenchies have mastered several essential commands in a short period of time. Most importantly to me, I can now walk all 3 of my Frenchies without them pulling me. Walks are now enjoyable and much longer since they are not pulling and getting out of breath. I highly recommend DTE for training any pup needing behavioral modification.

    Dog Training Elite is amazing! Our dogs were jumping and barking. They knew a few commands but would not stay in place. We have a Border and two Labs and a lot of energy. Maria came out to our home and the first day we saw a difference! She is awesome and you can tell she loves what she is doing. Thanks Maria for the great training and kindness to our dogs.

    Dog Training Elite’s team is WONDERFUL. Finneas and I are so happy with how our training is going. My boy is on track to becoming a service dog and we have a long way to go… but I couldn’t be happier to have Craig and his team by our side during this process. THANK YOU

    Working with Dog Training Elite Orlando has been one of the investments I’ve made for my dog. Maria was incredible in her knowledge and the way she handled my pup. The instruction was clear and easy to understand and in the 5 sessions we made tremendous progress. Highly recommend DTEO, Maria, and team!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND this team for all of your people training needs lol No, but seriously, they have worked magic with my Zoe and Me. What I love is that they come to your house or to public spaces to work on issues specific to you and your pups needs. Their packages also include group training classes, which are always educational and FUN. Craig and Miriam love what they do and it shows. They are patient, encouraging, and dedicated to seeing you and your pup grow together. I just can’t say enough good things. Oh and did I mention they offer service animal training also!
