The Benefits of Puppy Training

Read More

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    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!

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.

Here Harley chilling on a custom built shelf next to me as I work.

    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 🥰

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
