Puppy Training Classes in Panama City, FL

We researched a lot before deciding on Dog Training Elite. We are so happy we went with them. From day one, they made us feel like part of the family. They tailored a training program that fit our needs and have been instrumental in the bond we share with our pup! I can't think of anyone else I would trust Zoe with! Cant wait to see what comes next!

Dog Training Elite are great. Did wonders on my GSP Piper. She would run off and didn’t know any simple commands. Now we go on walks off leash and she knows many commands. Well worth the time and money.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dog Training Elite. The training that they’ve provided have turned our wild rescue pup into a well behaved pooch. They have several different levels of training that they offer. We opted for 3 weeks of training camp followed by four in home training sessions and then group sessions for the life of our pup. Yes - you heard that correct - for the life of the pup. We’re able to take Molly to restaurants and bars and she is more well behaved than some of the customers! Another thing that was an added bonus is training your pup really helps you bond. We had no idea. I guess at this point we are well trained as well..lol

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast and especially Tina the Trainer! From the very first session, Tina not only worked wonders with my dog, Bianca, but also took the time to train me as an owner. She taught me the importance of consistency, which has made a huge difference in Bianca’s behavior and our relationship. Tina and her entire staff have always been professional, patient, and genuinely caring. They answered all my questions and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. I’m so grateful I did my research and found Dog Training Elite. The best part is seeing how much Bianca has improved—she’s happier, more obedient, and truly understands what’s expected of her. Tina helped fill in the gaps where I was struggling, and I feel empowered as a dog owner now. I highly recommend Tina and her team to anyone looking for real results and a positive experience! Sincerely... Thank you, Tina, Lily and staff for everything you’ve done for us!

Dog Training Elite is the best! After 8 private sessions, my dog has seen significant improvements! It used to be impossible to take her on a walk, but now we can do so comfortably with minimal pulling. She has also learned many other helpful commands including sit, down, and coming when she is called. Tina and her team of trainers are patient and polite, treating every dog like family and helping owners achieve their desired goals for their pups. They do an amazing job of accommodating both the client’s and pet’s needs throughout the training process, creating a schedule and timeline that best meets an individual’s unique circumstances. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

Amazing price and service. Assisted with reactivity in one dog and fear of dogs with the other dog. There is still work to do everyday but definitely gave the correct tools to do the work and help them be successful. All the trainers are amazing. Best thing we did.

Tina (and her staff) have been great to work with and are especially good at meeting us "where we are" in our dog journey. :-) This has been both figuratively and literally. We have livestock guardian dogs, which are a distinct breed from most. Tina has helped us achieve our personal goals and has been willing to meet us at various locations to accomplish these objectives. We have been very comfortable and delighted with Tina's work with our new puppies! -- we highly recommend Dog Training Elite!! (I think we all owe it to our pets to get human training from Tina to be better owners.) Thanks!

Dog Training Elite Panama City is absolutely incredible!! I started my mini dachshund, Woody, here at 12 weeks old in the puppy training. The trainers had Woody sitting, doing down, coming on command, among many other commands within the first week! Sunnee has been especially incredible as we moved to in-home training. She’s very calm and gentle with her training, but highly effective. My pup absolutely loves her. I recommend Dog Training Elite for your dog training needs! They’re highly communicative and professional. Thanks Dog Training Elite PC!

Dog training elite has been a tremendous help and a great experience. Lily has been absolutely wonderful and patient with scheduling and rescheduling. Sunnee our trainer was a pleasure to work with. She's very knowledgeable and, passionate about the training and, ensuring you get the results you desire. We noticed a difference in Val after the first session. We had a late session one evening and Val was tired. We put her in place, and she decided she was done for the day. She went to the back of her doghouse and would not come out. Sunnee climbed right in there and brought her back out. We knew then Sunnee took her job serious. Sonnee will be respectful and talk soft, but she doesn't have a problem keeping the owner and dog involved with the training. It's been a wonderful experience with great results during out time with Sunnee and Dog training elite. Thank you to the whole team. Roy & Martha

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! About a year ago when our family wanted to get a puppy, we knew training was something we wanted to invest in. After searching the local area for pet trainers, we came across Dog training elite and decided to call and set up a tour. We have never had a puppy before and wanted to make sure we were setting our new addition up for success and boy have we!! Our now 1 year old Corgi has been with DTE for about 10 months and has been such an angel with commands, tricks and obedience than we could've imagined she'd be. DTE from the beginning has been so kind to our family and our pup. They have been there for any questions we have had, addressed concerns we've had promptly with our pup, provides a drop in dog camp for our girl to continue to be shown love, training and playtime with her best friends. DTE will always be a part of our journey. The whole experience we've had so far is far more valuable than money.

Dog Training Elite has the best trainers around-- my Goldendoodle (and I!) went through two weeks of training, and it changed my relationship with him for the better. He's more obedient, more respectful of others, and I feel like I can take him anywhere without worrying about his behavior around other people. He loves his trainers, Sunny and Jeremiah! After his training was completed, he passed his Canine Good Citizen test, and he is on the way to being a therapy dog. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast! From the moment I reached out, Lily has been so communicative and responsive. She made the whole process feel smooth and reassuring. When I had any concerns the owner, Tina, personally called me to walk me through everything. She explained my options clearly and helped find what would work best for me—and it worked out perfectly! They genuinely listen to your needs and tailor the training to you and your dog. They even upload photos and videos to a shared Google Drive so you can see your fur baby’s daily progress, which I absolutely love. The in-home training has been a perfect fit for us since it focuses on where our pup spends the most time—at home. A huge shoutout to Sunnee, who’s been nothing short of amazing. She’s incredibly patient and teaches you things you wouldn’t even think about when it comes to dog training. I couldn’t have done this without her! With a baby due in mid-May, I was on a time crunch, and they were so understanding. They worked diligently with me to find a schedule and training plan that fit. I never once felt rushed or like a burden—they truly care about you and your dog. Their customer service and care for animals is unmatched. I 100% recommend Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast for anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog training!

We needed a trainer very badly for our Berger Picard. We were very skeptical taking him to just anyone. My daughter recommended Dog training Elite , since that is where she took her schnauzer. It’s amazing how he went from not listening to anything to where he is today. Chewbacca was very stubborn, and had anxiety issues really bad. After the first week of training we were amazed how he had changed. In 3 weeks he is now a stable dog, and we are able to take him places with us without him freaking out. And he actually comes when we call him. Thank you so much Jeremiah and Sunny for all the hard work you did with Chewbacca . We would highly recommend Dog training Elite Emerald coast to anyone. And if you get Jeremiah or Sunny for the trainers you will definitely be very pleased .

I've really enjoyed working with Sunnee from Dog Training Elite. She is very knowledgeable and works with myself and my dog in a professional, as well as, friendly manner.

We are currently 3/4 of the way threw our training and to say we are very pleased is an understatement. Tina has brought us far more than just training our beloved Steward, she has brought us hope. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They bring experience with proven results. 5 plus plus stars.

Sunnee is the BEST!! Thank you so much for helping us with BOSCO. Group lessons and individual lessons really really helped with crazy behaviors and 140# big boy!! Thank you so much!!

Ms Betty, my shepard mix, and I moved to Pensacola in October 2024. When I adopted her I was her fourth home in one year. Needless to say she came wit a lot of issues. I'm so glad that Dog Training Elite was recommended to me! The owner, Tina, and her team are the best! Tina, was so good during our training sessions! She explained everything in detail to where it made sense, she was very patient, and in my opinion is the BEST!

I cannot recommend this place enough, I wish I had the ability to leave more stars. I was referred to them by a friend and I’m beyond grateful for the recommendation. I was struggling with a shy, timid dog that made it difficult to do anything outside of my house. They gave my boy Rusty some much needed confidence and made him a much more obedient, well behaved dog all around. The staff treated him like one of their own and he was always so excited to be at the facility. I highly recommend this place for any training needs!

Tina and her team have been fantastic to work with. You could really tell they all love dogs. Amy Frenchie Arlo loved going classes daily. After the weeks of daily training. Tina kept us up-to-date with daily photo posts on a shared drive so we can monitor how Arlo was doing. We loved see the photos and hearing and seeing first hand his progress. Tina does group classes to help reinforce what the dogs learn and for their owners to learn how to operate and handle the dog to match their Training. She has setup Training with the airport to go through TSA as service animals. I am so glad for the continued support and opportunities to reinforce the training not only for my dog but for myself as his owner. It's nice to know the support will continue until both myself snd my dog feel comfortable. Thank you for all of your support, training, and genuine caring for our little Arlo. Here's a funny one where he decided to take a break in the middle of an obstacle course. They kept him busy and tuckered out daily.

I can't say enough great things about Sunnee! She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about helping our two pitbulls and their owners succeed. She worked with us on basic commands and behavior, and her guidance made such a difference. Her calm and professional approach made training enjoyable and effective, and she always took the time to answer our questions and ensure we felt confident. Thanks to her, our dog’s are better behaved and happier than ever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer!"
