The Benefits of Puppy Training

Dog Training Elite

Early training shapes a puppy’s behavior for life. Teaching structure, commands, and impulse control early makes daily life easier and sets the stage for a well-behaved dog.

Without proper guidance, puppies can quickly develop habits like jumping, barking, or chewing that become harder to correct over time.
Training strengthens communication and trust, creating a better relationship between owner and dog.
Exposure to new people, places, and other dogs helps puppies become more adaptable and reduces anxiety in unfamiliar situations.
Obedience commands provide control in unpredictable situations, keeping puppies out of harm’s way.

Puppy Training 101

Key Commands For Puppies

Read More
Read Less

Obedience commands help puppies understand what is expected of them and how to respond in different situations. These skills are fundamental for shaping a well-behaved and responsive dog:

  • Down: The "down" command teaches a puppy to lie down and stay in place until released. This command helps with impulse control and keeps a dog calm in busy environments or when guests visit.
  • Break: "Break" lets the puppy know they are free to move after following a previous command. This command helps structure training by showing the puppy when a command is over and they are allowed to move.
  • Heel: "Heel" teaches a puppy to walk calmly at the owner’s side rather than pulling ahead or lagging behind. Practicing this skill improves leash control, makes walks more enjoyable, and helps the dog stay focused in public settings.
  • Come: A reliable recall command is one of the most important skills a dog can learn. "Come" trains a puppy to return immediately when called, helping to prevent dangerous situations like running into traffic or getting lost.
  • Leave It: "Leave it" teaches a puppy to ignore or drop objects they shouldn’t touch, such as harmful food, household items, or dangerous materials. This command helps prevent destructive behavior and keeps the puppy safe.

    We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum program ( basic/advance obedience) to help prepare him for intro into service dog 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 best for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . The trainers, Jaeden and Maria , are super helpful and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program! 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. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!!

    I am very happy with the results of my Irish Doodle training, it is giving excellent results, apart from the classes having the opportunity of group meetings in the park and training there are being very helpful for him and form me too. I recommend 💯 this school.

    Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria are excellent dog trainers. Upon meeting them you instantly know working with dogs is their passion. My little puggle, Maggie, is adorable but was a “hot mess” when it came to behavior. Maria worked with us in home and within a few lessens she was much better behaved. She loves people and didn’t understand that not everyone loves her, her jumping on people has stopped. The group walks in Winter Garden and obedience training in Phelps has helped further improve her listening and behavior. She’s learned how to behave around other dogs and people. I’m considering taking her training to the next level with their therapy dog training. I highly recommend this team for your dog training needs.

    Craig was amazing training our puppy but also training us! We would have never known all the tips and tricks to help our puppy without his help! Thank you so so much…our puppy is almost a year old and is off leash running with the kids and we are truly enjoying her more than I could have imagined with Craig’s help!!

    I was at my wits end when my stepdaughter recommended Craig, who she knows from high school days. We have a Morkie; now 7 months old. Hired a trainer initially to teach the basics of sit, stay, come. When our Lily started showing signs of aggression, disobedience and so on; we knew we needed something more. I was truly ready to send her back to the breeder Along came Craig and he convinced me that we would have a new dog before it was over with. I could not be happier with the results. Lily has come such a long way and other than a few tweaks, we see a new puppy really; just what we wanted. He is amazing and patient and made the whole process fun. So knowledgeable and intuitive. I would highly recommend him. Dog Training Elite North Orlando should be your next call if you need help with your furry friend. Thanks Craig!

    Working directly with Cheyenne, Maria, Kari, and Jaden has been a phenomenal experience. I’m very grateful I chose this company. The staff is very kind and well educated. One of my dogs is dog aggressive and my partner and I had to think about Behavioral Euthanasia. This company has given us hope. My dogs are beginning to be well behaved. It’s only been two weeks but I will update this comment in a couple months. Thank you guys for everything.

    I have a dalmation puppy and needed help in training her. Someone else in my neighborhood had used Elite and Craig in training her dog and recommended him. I’m so glad she did!! They do the training by coming to your home and training in your environment. Also they do group classes every week. It is great for socializing hour dog and practicing with their instruction. They also have pack walks which gets your dog in other environments which is great. I would highly recommend Craig and Elite Dog Training!!
