Dog Training Elite South Houston - Houston Dog Socialization Classes. DTE
My Problem:
Poor Socialization
My name is Milo
Hi. My name is Milo, and I have a bit of a 'ruff' time making friends with my fellow canines. You see, I'm all about making new friends, but when it comes to meeting other dogs, I get a tad overwhelmed. I’d like to get out more, please.
Socialization
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Stop Puppy Biting in Houston, TX. DTE
My Problem:
Nipping & Biting
My name is Scout
Hello, everyone, my name is Scout, and I have a little, um, 'nipping' habit. I'm all about spreading love and happiness, but sometimes, my excitement gets the best of me, and I end up with a playful nibble or two. I want others to feel safe around me.
Biting
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Reactive Dog Training in Houston, TX. DTE
My Problem:
Fear Aggression
My name is Zuko
Hi…I get afraid when strange dogs or people get near me so I try to scare them off to protect myself. I want to make new friends and not worry my parents, but someone has to protect them. Can you help me?
Fear Aggression
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Separation Anxiety Training for Dogs in Houston, TX. DTE
My Problem:
Separation Anxiety
My name is Nora
I'm Nora, and I'm in the process of tackling something called 'separation anxiety.' While I thrive in family togetherness, there's a hiccup when my beloved humans step out – I tend to get a little jittery. I would love to feel more confident.
Separation Anxiety
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Excessive Barking Training in Houston, TX. DTE
My Problem:
Excessive Barking
My name is Link
Woof! I'm Link, and I've got a little quirk – a tendency to let my barks fill the air a bit more than necessary. I'm all about helping to maintain a harmonious vibe, but sometimes, I just can't resist the call of the wild, or the squirrel on the neighbor's fence.
Barking
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Staying and Coming Training in Houston, TX. DTE
My Problem:
Staying & Coming
My name is Dexter
I'm Dexter, and I've got a bit of a wild streak when it comes to the 'down' and 'come' commands. Sometimes my adventurous spirit leads me astray when those commands are in play. It would really make me happy to learn how to listen.
Staying & Coming
Dog Training Elite South Houston - Destructive Chewing and Digging Training in Houston, TX
My Problem:
Chewing & Digging
My name is Charlie
I'm Charlie, and I've got a little hobby, or shall we say, an issue – destructive chewing and digging. I simply can't resist the allure of gnawing on furniture or unearthing buried treasures in the garden. I'm on a mission to mend my ways.

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing.

From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.

    Bob is amazing! Our puppy was a poor emaciated rescue in need of love and security and once settled and healthy, was a very rambunctious pup. Bob has the patience of a saint in working with our baby and giving us practical milestones, lots of encouragement and advice along the way. Our puppy is MUCH better behaved and providing the structure needed makes for a happier household all around.

Left untreated, these problems can even lead to infections. At Dog Training Elite of South Houston, we believe regular dental care improves your dog's overall health and helps them stay focused for training. We love helping dogs and their owners feel confident and happy. Always consult your vet for the proper dental care for your dog.

Training a dog usually entails basic commands and tricks, but it is so much more than that! Dog Training Elite of South Houston can help you train your dog to overcome major (or minor) behavioral issues like social anxiety, separation anxiety, food aggression, barking, and destructive digging and chewing. Through training, Kona learned to thrive in the company of other dogs whom she once feared, and she boldly ventures into public places while listening attentively to her owner. Thanks for the great review, Zac!

Does your dog deal with fireworks nerves? DTE is here to help with the following tips and tricks for this unintentionally scary holiday! 1. Create a Safe Space: Prepare a quiet, cozy spot in your home where your dog can retreat to. Fill it with their favorite toys, blankets, and perhaps an item that smells like you, such as a shirt, to provide a sense of familiarity and security. 2. Background Noise: Drown out the sound of fireworks by playing some soothing background noise, like classical music or nature sounds. This can help mask the sudden bursts of noise and create a more relaxing environment for your pup. 3. Close the Curtains: Dim the lights and close the curtains to minimize the visual stimulation from the fireworks. This can help reduce your dog's anxiety by blocking out the flashes and bursts of light. 4. Stay Calm and Positive: Dogs are highly perceptive and can pick up on your emotions. Stay calm and act as normally as possible, as your dog will look to you for cues on how to react. Offer reassuring words, gentle strokes, and treats when they exhibit calm behavior. 5. Distraction and Engagement: Engage your dog in activities they enjoy, such as playing games or practicing their favorite tricks. Redirecting their attention to something positive can help shift their focus away from the fireworks. 6. Consult a Vet: If your dog's anxiety is severe or if you've tried various techniques without success, consider reaching out to a veterinarian. They can provide additional advice or recommend anxiety-reducing products or medications if necessary. Remember, every dog is unique, so it might take some trial and error to find the strategies that work best for your furry friend. Be patient and understanding, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. And if your dog deals with anxiety in general, consult with an expert at Dog Training Elite of South Houston today for help!

When it comes to walking our dogs, choosing the right equipment is crucial for their safety and comfort. Let's weigh the pros and cons of both options: Dog Harness: 1. Safety first! Harnesses distribute pressure evenly across the chest, reducing strain on your dog's neck and throat. This is especially important for small breeds, brachycephalic dogs, and those with respiratory issues. 2. Improved control: Harnesses offer better control over your dog's movements, making it easier to guide them during walks. 3. Added security: Some harnesses come with reflective straps or built-in handles, which increase visibility and allow for quick restraint when needed. Dog Collar: 1. Simplicity and convenience: Collars are quick to put on and remove, making them suitable for dogs who are already well-behaved on walks. 2. ID tags and licenses: Collars provide a convenient place to attach identification tags, making it easier to identify your pup if they ever get lost. 3. Suitable for short-haired dogs: Collars don't interfere with a dog's natural movement and can be more comfortable for breeds with short coats. Remember, every dog is unique, and their specific needs should be considered. Never tolerate pulling on a leash no matter what device you use! Call Dog Training Elite of South Houston today for help if your walks aren't exactly enjoyable. ! Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!

Is your goofy little furball acting bored and restless? A bored dog can become destructive and develop behavioral problems, so it's crucial to keep your friend entertained and happy—whether you're home or away. Here are some ideas you can implement in addition to daily training and exercise: 1. Hide and Seek: Stimulate your dog's mind and nose with some fun games of hide and seek. When you're around, you can hide yourself and ask your dog to find you. When you're away, try leaving cups upside down around the floor. Place one treat under every three or four cups to keep him guessing! Try hiding his favorite toy in a new place each day before you leave the house. 2. Puzzle toys: Treat-dispensing toys or puzzle toys can help keep your dog mentally stimulated and entertained for longer periods. Stuffed and frozen Kongs are also wonderful. New digital toys with voice functionality can be a fun solution too—especially for dogs with separation anxiety. 3. Consider a buddy: If you work a lot of hours or just struggle to give your dog the attention she craves, it may be helpful to introduce a second pet. If you don't have the time or resources for another dog, cats often make excellent companions and are less maintenance than most dogs.
