Golden Retriever Training in Philadelphia, PA

Taylor is a great trainer and very knowledgeable. We have a 1 year old golden retriever with tons of energy and he’s come a long way since starting training with Taylor. If you are looking to get your dog trained, I highly recommend Taylor.

Loki is behaving so much better. Thank you!!!

I contacted several trainers about working with my dog on her behavioral issues with no replies. Taylor contacted me and was confident that he could help us. Taylor's patient and organized approach to training Georgie has begun to work! Taylor answers our questions, and we have noticed changes in her behavior. Delivery people and neighbors have also noticed her calmer demeanor. We are looking forward to the group training for further growth.

Working with Taylor has been amazing - his attention to detail and the way he listens to me as a dog owner really makes you feel like you are extraordinary hands, each dog/case really is individualized to you & your dog. There is no "cookie cutter - one size fits all" vibe and that makes dog training elite + Taylor so special and different from the rest of training facilities. Taylor' knowledge/skillset is second to none. Cannot recommend him/the company enough! :)

I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. My dog Jed is a German Shepherd and is very energetic and reactive to social situations. Taylor's sessions built on one another reinforcing proper behavior and adherence to commands. Gaining an understanding on dogs psychology and Jeds specific makeup helped immensely in understanding and applying the training. Taylor went above and beyond with his commitment to the training to making sure all the aspects of the training were clear to my entire family and always available to answer questions outside the sessions. We felt that we may not be able to keep our dog due to his stubborn, reactive disposition but now we are delighted in the progress he has made and look forwards to many years with him now.

Taylor is absolutely incredible! We have greatly enjoyed our training sessions and are extremely pleased with our dog’s development thanks to training with Taylor. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

Taylor was AMAZING with our dog Lady. We rescued her from ACCT in September, and she came with some reactivity issues. The training with Taylor has helped her come a long way. She's more current and relaxed now. She's actually excited to wear the e collar! Taylor was very knowledgeable and great with our pup. We would definitely recommend him.

The entire team was great to work with. We saw such an improvement in our dog as early as our first training session. I loved that they came to our house to do the training in our environment. Would highly recommend to others looking for a dog trainer!

Working with Jaime was truly a game changer for us and our puppy, Buster. From the very beginning, Jaime went above and beyond in every single session. Before we started training, we felt a bit overwhelmed and honestly pretty hopeless. Buster is a smart pup, but we knew we had a long road ahead. That all changed after our very first consultation. Jaime immediately put us at ease with his confidence, knowledge, and clear love for what he does. He took the time to explain exactly how the training would work, step by step, and tailored the sessions to our goals. As the sessions went on, we were blown away by the progress we were making. It wasn’t just about teaching Buster commands — Jaime helped us build a foundation of trust, communication, and understanding with our dog. The transformation was incredible. By the end of our one on one sessions, we had a totally different dog, not only better behaved, but genuinely happier and more connected with us. And as dog owners, we feel so much more confident and empowered, too. What stood out most is Jaime’s passion for his work. It’s not just a job for him, it’s a calling. He’s deeply committed, patient, and genuinely cares about every dog and family he works with. That kind of dedication is rare and so appreciated. Thank you, Jaime, for helping us bring out the best version of Buster and ourselves as dog owners. We truly can’t recommend you enough!!!

Taylor was the best. He was patient and immediately able to evaluate and customize a training protocol for my reactive dog, Finn. Our in-home sessions went very smoothly and Finn showed improvement each week. I chose the package with in-home and 12 group sessions after and we started with our first group session on Saturday. Finn is already less reactive and I can’t wait to see how good he is by the last group session. Highly recommend Taylor and Dog Training Elite!

Great trainers for service dogs, beautiful boarding facility in rural setting with 15 fenced acres for dogs to explore.

Taylor was amazing with our new puppy, Max. He learned so much in the lessons we had and we are looking forward to the group classes! Taylor was very flexible with our busy schedule. We can’t say enough good things about our whole experience!

I can’t say enough good things about Jamie and DTE! Our dog gets reactive when seeing other dogs she doesn’t know, making walks stressful. Thanks to Jamie’s help and guidance, she is much more manageable. He is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about our progress. Walks are more enjoyable and I feel more confident handling her in different situations. Highly recommend to anyone needing professional and effective dog training!

Jaime was very patient and a great trainer. My dog loved him and we have been able to travel by airplane without problems after training him for service dog. Definitely recommend :)

Taylor is the best! He was always very accommodating with scheduling and super informative during the in-home sessions. Excited to implement what we have already learned at group class and continuing to build on that knowledge!

Dog Training Elite provides convenient and effective training in the comfort of our own home, I highly recommend! Our trainer was Taylor, he did an amazing job with our dog Johny, explaining the training concepts and providing helpful feedback as well as encouragement during training. He was very flexible, I couldn't ask for a better trainer and mentor to work with!

We’ve had an amazing experience with Taylor! He came out for an initial free consultation, and right from the start, we were impressed by his knowledge and passion. After meeting him and seeing him interact with our dog we were very impressed at how knowledgeable and passionate he was. After just five home sessions, our pup has learned so much and picked up all the commands quickly. We're excited to start group classes now. We highly recommend Taylor to anyone!

Cannot say enough great things about Taylor and the training he provides. He’s been flexible, professional and makes the training fun. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a better trained pup or dog. Chessie has been making great progress from everything we’ve learned from Taylor and we’re looking forward to the group sessions. 5 stars all around.

I cannot say enough good things about Taylor! We were blown away after the first session. His knowledge and love of dogs is apparent in his work. Not only did he spend time with myself and my husband, he spent a whole training session with our children to ensure that they were a part of the team as well! He really has changed our lives!

We are super pleased with Taylor and his services. Taylor is professional, friendly and most importantly, very knowledgeable. We contacted Taylor when we realized our 125lb, 1 year old, Rottweiler named Wayne needed some professional training. He is a very friendly dog but is large and very active. After working with Taylor, Wayne has learned numerous commands, no longer pulls when he is walked, and is a lot easier to handle. I highly recommend Taylor to anyone in need of dog training.
