Boxer Dog Training in West Palm Beach / Boca Raton, FL

Dog Training elite is amazing! They’ve helped my dog become the best companion I can bring anywhere and everywhere.

Hi my name Jan. I have 5 years old Shizu. She like to bark to people and big dog, very aggressive. I met Josephine on March, 2025. She is a good dog training, she is listening my problem, understand, kind and good communication. She help me fix the problem of my dog in the right way. Her technique is simple and easy for me to follow and all work. My dog listening to me and understanding and behaving since I work with Josephine. She is more calm and not so much bark anymore. I will recommend everyone who needs help with your dog. Josephine definitely can fix your problem and give a great advice what we need to do to fix our problem with your dogs. I am happy 😊.

Before the program Mitchell was a menace. Works really hard to correct bad behavior in my 2 year old lab. He has improved so much through this training. Worth every penny.

We were initially referred to this organization by some family members after getting our new puppy. A scary encounter with an older dog made us realize just how important training and obedience are in preventing dangerous or stressful situations. We started the training when our pup was about 5–6 months old, focusing on basic commands and addressing biting behavior. Now, six months later, the progress has far exceeded our expectations. Our dog is nearly ready to walk off-leash and behaves wonderfully in public spaces. We feel like we’ve not only gained control over his previous bad habits but also built a much stronger bond with him. The training has helped us better understand his behavior and tendencies, which has made all the difference. We highly recommend investing in this training, it’s been an invaluable experience for both us and our pup. Thank you Josephine!!!

We started using Josephine 3 weeks ago and we are very happy with the progress our 15 month old English Bulldog criminal has made. She has learned to walk on a leash without pulling. She has learned come and place. Matilda is happier with the structure Dog Training Elite has given our household. We are looking forward to the group classes and improve her socialization skills.

Who Says You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks? My neighbors certainly did! However, Josephine, the owner and lead trainer, proved them wrong!! Storm, our 11 year old rescue, was out of control when anyone rang the front door bell. He would charge ahead of us, and bark aggressively…non stop. After only 2 lessons with Josephine using DTE’s proven methods, and us reinforcing them daily, Storm now stays in his “place” when the doorbell rings, and is learning to be “quiet”. We just finished the 5th lesson, and we can confidently and safely walk Storm by our side around our neighborhood. He “heels”, is not pulling, or distracted by other dogs and is focused on the commands. If we stop, and he’s told “down”, he goes down with chest and elbows on the ground. This is the hardest command to follow as it means total submission by him. We highly recommend Josephine and her side-kicks, Gracie and Dottie :) The DTE program she is using was developed over 45 years. We learnt that success with Storm would only be possible with mutual trust, consistency, positive reinforcement, and most of all…working with him at least 15 minutes everyday. Thanks Josephine, for teaching Storm, our old dog, new tricks!!!

Before training, our year and a half old frenchie was reactive and had no manners! Safe to say he was running our house. After the first session, we noticed a HUGE shift in his behavior! Now that we are 4 sessions in, he is more confident, less reactive and respects us. It’s been amazing to see his progression! We highly recommend Josephine Grace with Dog Training Elite Palm Beach County! It has changed our household.

We are about 5 lessons in with Josephine and our 8 month old puppy. We are so impressed with what Buddy/we have learned. Practice is the key, and they give you all the tools you need to have a happy, well-balanced dog.

I’m so grateful for the help and insight Josephine provided for my dog. Before my Nailah enrolled in Dog Training Elite, she was a cute and fluffy little menace. After training with Josephine, she is a totally different dog! Not only do Josephine train Nailah, she lovingly trained us as well. I’ve learned so much from here that I never even considered before. Nailah is still cute and fluffy but she is also a beloved member of the family. She’s stopped nipping us and counter surfing. She’s stopped her incessant barking and pulling us during walks. If you’re considering this program-do it. You will have a well behaved companion if you stick with Josephine!

We had struggled with our dogs behaviors and patience for years, but we never reached out looking for a professional training program. Josephine worked wonders with our three pups with noticeable improvements in their obedience, socialization, consistency, and behavioral issues. The pulling, barking, and aggression all were handled. I would highly recommend this training to anyone with even a sight curiosity of dog training improvement!

Amazing! OMG, I can’t believe this is the same dog! Chaos had such a successful training session today. He stays in his “place” even when he’s in a public place with distractions and people and other dogs. He is calm. He listens. He is so much less “reactive”. The change in this dog is really incredible. I am finally starting to trust him after our private training sessions. Now I can’t wait to start taking him to the group classes for socializing. There is hope for this previously out of control German shepherd!!!! A huge THANK YOU to our trainer, Josephine Grace, for helping make our problem “beast” into a calmer and more manageable dog.

Chaos is definitely calming down. And he’s a different German Shepherd than back when we started the training! He’s very smart and learns quickly. Elite dog training has given us some excellent methods for controlling his behavior

Josephine is amazing! We started working with her when our boy Benny was just six months old. He was a rescue and the unknown carried with the “pit mix” name was something we took very seriously. Not only was she reassuring that she would help us create a happy environment for our three boys but also to made sure that Benny stayed safe and happy! Together we researched his breed and learned about his temperament as we navigated his training. She was so helpful, reassuring, and answered any call or text whenever we had questions! A year later, Benny is still training with Josephine and continues to amaze us with not only how smart he is, but how loving and sweet he is to any and all that meet him! We had an instance a few weeks ago that left me with some questions. As soon as I texted Josephine, she called me a few minutes later and helped me solve the issue and connected me to other great resources! Her wealth of knowledge is priceless! We highly recommend Josephine and her team for dog training (and human training)!

Josephine has been absolutely fantastic to work with! She has given us the tools to help our dogs become the best versions of themselves. The difference in just 4 sessions has been night and day for these dogs, we love practicing and working with them every day to get better. Our dogs were very reactive on leash and now family walks are much more enjoyable! Highly recommend taking the time and effort to work with her, she is wonderful!

My daughter has a pure bred Corgi. She recently moved into a condo. She brought her dog to live there. She constantly barked The dog was not going to able to stay there. The dog is currently staying at our house. We decided to get a trainer She had several issues. She constantly barked, She jumped on anyone who came into the house and she was aggressive towards other dogs when she was being walked even though she likes other dogs We called and met with Josephine. We decided to give a try. She is making progress we did not think was possible. We have not finished the training but we are happy with the results so far. She still has a ways to go but we think she will continue to make progress and that will be able to live with our daughter. Josephine is very kind and patient and she knows what she is doing.

Josephine is an awesome dog trainer. She is very easy going and really knows how to not only communicate with our dog, but even more important with the owners. Throughout the process, she’s not only teaching the dog what to do but teaching the dogs owners how to continue the training process, which is probably the most important part of this journey. Our 22 month old Bernadoodle has really progressed amazingly well over just 4 or 5-1 hour sessions. We have also put in the work necessary to make this successful and are constantly hearing comments about how well-behaved our puppy is. I highly recommend Josephine and Dog training elite to anyone Who has not made the commitment to train and learn the follow up for having a well-trained dog

We got a rescue puppy who ended up being a completely different mix than we thought. We thought he was a small breed but ended up being a German Shepard/boarder collie mix and was timid and aggressive with age. I was feeling completely helpless and really didn’t think we could keep him but I wanted to try one more thing. Josephine came to our house and as much as she taught him, she taught me more. He gained respect for my authority and I gained control. I no longer have any fears from him! We have had parties with 20 people, multiple different dogs in and out of the house, doors left open and more. We are now confident he can be a part of our family forever. ❤️

Great so far, lots of progress with my German Shepherd. Excited to see how this develops going forward.

I can’t say enough about Josephine, Gracie and Dottie! Josephine is helping us with our two little pups that we adopted during Covid. They are loving little guys, but were totally out of control whenever company came over or someone came to the door. So much so, that we would have to put them in a bedroom just to open the front door ! They were over excited to greet guests, jumping , barking for attention - absolute chaos! With Josephine’s help - we are able to control them so much better and they are more relaxed when company is over. They are definitely a work in progress, but in a short few weeks we have seen such an improvement in both of them !! I highly recommend Josephine for your dog training needs - you won’t be disappointed!

We have Cavaliers. Both reactive and one in particular, a large male, demanding and at times quite annoying. That was before a chance meeting with Josephine and her dogs Gracie and Dottie at the Wellington Amphitheater, after which we signed both Cavs up for training with Elite. After a few weeks with Josephine there is a marked difference in obedience and behavior allowing us more freedom to enjoy our pups. In the past we could not walk them if other dogs were around as they wound act like the hounds from hell. Now they pay attention to us and can remain calm which was the number one goal we had with the training. Importantly, the training is probably as much training us as it is our Cavs, but together we have learned how to drastically improve our dog owning experience, keeping all the good that comes with it and filtering out the bad. Josephine has the tools, techniques and knowledge that made it happen. We did not believe it could. But it did! Thank you.
