San Antonio Dog Obedience Training

Max just graduated from his in home training with Dog Training Elite and I can’t say enough great things about the process! We adopted him from a rescue about 6 months ago and he was extremely anxious and a little unruly. Adakais has been amazing. Max is now much more confident and knows all of his commands . The ability to learn the training techniques from Adakais each week and then work on them one on one with Max has been such a rewarding experience. We look forward to continuing to work with DTE by attending the group classes.

There are so many great things about Dog Training Elite. I’ll start with their level of professionalism. From the first introduction Tammy explained their training opportunities and payment options. Whitley used her own dog to show me some things the team would be able to teach my dog to support my Post Traumatic Stress and anxiety. The team is always kind and they listen to my needs as a handler. My standard poodle, Brody, completed puppy camp and is currently in big dog camp for service. After puppy camp there were follow up classes in our home at which time we got some much needed refresher training. Terrence and Adakais arrived promptly and were very knowledgeable. Alli is his classroom trainer (for puppy camp and big dog camp) and she is amazing. She answers my questions and supports me as a handler with any areas that I need additional assistance. She is always watching me with Brody when I’m there and I love that she corrects me when she sees me do something wrong. It keeps me on point and I am always learning from her. Brody learned some great things in his first week of big dog camp. He even got a compliment from one of my co-workers who noticed his behavior had improved since he saw him a week ago. The end of day report cards are wonderful. It gives me something to reference if I am unsure about something Brody was taught throughout his training. One of the things I appreciate most is the quick response I get from any messages I send them. You cannot go wrong with Dog Training Elite. They are a professional group of people who want to see you and your dog be successful. I am looking forward to a lifelong relationship with this staff.

Most amazing experience I have ever had. I was very nervous about bringing my tiny 1.5 lb baby to be trained. I had a sit down with Tammy and she went through the process with me. Had me bring my baby with me and she gave me a tour. From day one it was amazing. Poppy started puppy camp the next Monday and they worked with me on my work schedule. I was more nervous than my puppy. After the first day my little dog was so happy to go. Every time I drove up she knew. She got so excited she would rush through the doors and run right to the trainers. She has her favorites of course. But, she was just so happy to be there. Not only was she learning and playing. But everyday they made video of what she was learning and I would take the video and practice at home what she was learning there. If I had questions I could ask Ally her trainer anything and she was amazing to answer all my questions. When Puppy camp ended we moved on to more advanced training. We had to wait for a little bit for her little puppy brain to grow. During that time the trainers came to us. We had Kai and he was absolutely the best. Full of knowledge and very patient and professional like Ally. Poppy just loved him. Working with him outside of the training facility was easy and very rewarding for both myself and Poppy. He even help us with boundaries within the house. When it was time to start the more Advanced training. We had Ally again. Poppy learned so much. She became more confident and so did I. If I stumbled with anything, Ally guided me back on track and always let me know that I can ask for help at anytime. She never made me feel rushed through any of it. Then of course there are the videos they use to help you through the training of your dog. I know this review is long. I did see some of the other reviews posted that were negative and if you know these people and how they love their dogs and yours. You would understand that what was said was taken out of context. One of the service dog training methods is for your dog to be in place. Poppy knowing this skill means I can handle my medical needs and know she is out of harms way and or not getting her self into trouble. So when you walk into the facility you might see a dog on a bed off the ground against the wall sitting. They are not stuck in a cage. They are out in the open. But they are in what is called place. It is a very important skill. I am very blessed Poppy was taught this. It has come in handy in so many situations. Not only at home. But also out at a hospital where she needs to be safe out of the way. If you’re looking for a place that loves your dog, that will be there to answer your questions, to guide you and your dog through the journey you choose. This is the place. These are the people. I trust my little Poppy 110% with all of them.

Excellent professional staff.

Absolutely insane the amount of work done on day one! I am looking forward to what else will come up and I am very grateful that they were understanding of my pup's reaction and willing to work with him regardless of the challenge he first posed.

All the staff (Whitley, Ali, Adakias) were great with our dogs and us being nervous using this training g technique . Undesired behaviors have been eliminated and we are all happier for it.

Wonderful place! Wonderful trainers! Hank is a new dog after working with them. Cannot say enough good things about the experience.

I’m very pleased with Dog Training Elite. My trainer has helped my pit calm down around other dogs and that was the reason I needed a trainer.

My experience with Dog Training Elite (DTE) has been nothing short of amazing with great professionalism and high standards! My experience started with me going in to get information about their training for a service dog that I was thinking about getting. I spoke with Whitley, and she gave me a consultation based on my needs and goals that I wanted for my puppy. Whitley went into detail about each camp my puppy would attend while giving me a tour of the facility. Once the consultation was completed, she answered all my questions, provided me with the information to keep, and showed me a demo of the end results of their training program with one of the trainers, Adakias, with his dog Ghost. I was impressed and excited to move forward when the time was right. Once everything was set on the breeder’s end, I started setting up everything on the training side where Tammy was a great help! Tammy has always been quick when it came sending out the contract, answering any questions I had pertaining to the contract, to scheduling camp dates, follow ups, and small tips when I went in to drop off Cairo for “school”. When Cairo’s training started, I primary worked with Alli who’s an amazing trainer! Alli’s love for dogs shows well in her training and interactions with each dog. From the moment Cairo started the puppy foundational camp up until now, whenever I had questions, or needed insight into how to correct something, Alli has been there to share her knowledge. I love that no matter where you are at in your dog knowledge, Alli will always build you up! The “report cards” after each training session is very detailed in helping you with your “homework”. I enjoyed that you could save them and review later if you need to tighten up on something or simply remember the command. Overall, I’m glad that Dog Training Elite was my choice to train my dog! Cairo loves coming here and it’s no question, I know Cairo is in great hands when he’s here!! The free group classes that are included when you become a client is a wonderful value itself. Don’t delay in starting your training. Join the DTE family and see the results for yourself!

Great Dog Training by Elite San Antonio. I had tried another training service but with little results. Callie a Parson Jack Russel Terrier 1 Year old. Resting after training

Ruckus had a range of obedience issues (Australian shepard, 1yr), but after DTE, it’s like he’s a completely different dog. My trainer Terrence was amazing in not only training him, but me as his owner. I 1000% recommend anyone who is having dog training issues and is ready to leave disobedience in the past to work with these amazing trainers. You will have a brand new dog!

I love the trainers and how they are helping my little Poppy learn all she needs to know on her journey to become a service dog. She is tiny and they treat her like she is normal dog with a big heart . They do not baby her and treat her like she can do everything a regular size dog can do. She can be a bit spicy but she listens to them and is also so happy to see them. Her little nub tail goes a mile a minute as soon as we pull up. She knows she is going to see the amazing staff and trainers. Her first week she learned a lot and it was up to me to keep it up. They found treats she likes. * She was super picky* She was a bit shy at first and they got her out of her shell. Now she is not afraid of anything. They still come to the house for additional training and we can go every Tuesday for refresher training until she is old enough to start service dog training. I know, I was so nervous at first before Poppy joined this program. After meeting with them and visiting the facility I was very happy. The facility is very clean. The trainers, staff have been absolutely wonderful and take time to answer my questions. If I don’t feel confident in what I am doing they do not hesitate to guide me. When Poppy joined she was only 1.5 lbs and they made sure she was safe while she started puppy basics. Yet she still played with the big puppy’s and did everything all the other puppy’s got to do. She is 3lbs now and I have no concerns in leaving my little treasure with anyone at Dog Training Elite for her continue education onto Service dog training. If you’re looking for Basic training to advance to anything in between. I highly recommend this wonderful facility. They truly care about their clients and the work they do. My little Poppy loves going to see them every time. They also educate me on what I am doing wrong and guide me in the correct way to handle poor behavior in my Poppy. Come join this place! Poppy would love to make new friends too

We have been coming to DTE for 3 years and it was the best decision we made after getting a dog! She still has her wild side but way more behaved when she was in the beginning. Trainers are amazing, facility is at a great location, several classes every week to choose from, and classes are super fun! 100% recommend reaching out to DTE for anyone who is considering getting a dog💜

Where do I even begin? DTE took a 4 month old Doberman puppy and turned him into the most amazing service dog in a period of 3 months time. This boy was wild! He learned discipline, self control and all the things necessary to pass the test. This was all done with a perfect balance of building amazing confidence while maintaining his wonderful disposition. Leo truly loved his trainers and we could tell that they absolutely loved him as well. I recommend them 100 times over.

The basic puppy training and service dog training options are amazing. The staff is so nice and very informative. Chewbacca has learned so much and is always happy to come to class. We’ve done the puppy class and now on week 2 of service dog training! The trainers are so helpful and educational when it comes to showing what Chewbacca has learned and answering all of our questions! You get daily updates of what was taught to include videos and written information. Plus, cute photos of your pup! I highly recommend DTE!

We recused bolt in late Dec 23. He was about to be put down because there was no room at the shelter. Initially, he would take off running had no recall, and was constantly acting up. That’s when we reached out to Dog Training Elite. We met with Whitley and she immediately promised us we can get him trained. Throughout his training Adakais(his trainer) was patient and gave us numerous lessons that we were able to apply. It was life changing for us. Bolt went from being a dog that would lose his mind if you even put a leash on him to becoming fully service dog qualified by summer of 2024. He knows all the commands and really responds well to having a job as a service dog. There a lots of group classes and everyone attending is supportive. Plus you have the one on one with the trainer. This is a great team and you’re really part of a supportive community. That’s bolt at my retirement ceremony being a great service dog. The other photo was after training at the facility. He was relaxed even with other dogs around.

I am so thankful to DTE for being patient with me and my pup during the training process. The group classes are a plus as they allow me and my dog to work in various environments with distractions. I have received constant feedback from them as well which has helped me build my confidence as a dog owner!

I can’t say enough good things about this facility. The staff is always so friendly and they were absolutely amazing with my dog. Gunner is very well behaved now, and I have a better understanding of how to upkeep his training at home because they give you the tools you need to be able to work with your dog at home. My dog went through the puppy boot camp and service dog training. Definitely recommend!

The staff is professional, helpful, and patient. I am pleased with my dogs’s progress… She’s a Llasa Apso so that says a lot when it comes to training. You’ll see a difference day one after training … one week later is amazing and then group training just adds to the benefit of having your dog trained. Highly recommend.
