Our Story
Dog Training Elite Scottsdale
In 2014, Neal Mestas opened the first Dog Training Elite (DTE) franchise outside of Utah, driven by a lifelong passion for dogs and training. His journey began as a bird boy training hunting dogs, ultimately leading to DTE Arizona. Alongside him was Bailey, the Belgian Malinois, who became Neal’s Service and Protection Canine. This partnership laid the foundation for DTE's success.
Today, our team specializes in basic and advanced obedience, service and therapy dog training, behavior modification and personal protection. Helping families build stronger bonds with their dogs through expert guidance and care. Even though Bailey is no longer with us, her legacy continues through every dog we train.
