Dog Socialization Classes in St. Petersburg / Clearwater, FL

I was at my wit’s end with my rescue pup, Finnegan , a 75 pound bully mix who was terrified of everything. I could barely get him to leave the bedroom and he was a nightmare on leash. I was in over my head and in tears every time I tried to walk him. From the moment Finnegan met Aaron, everything began to change for him. Finn sensed he could trust well before I did. Kim, Ryan, Aaron and the entire team at Dog Training Elite Suncoast are simply amazing. They’re patient, professional, and truly know how to bring out the best in a dog. They’ve changed Finnegan’s life — and mine. He’s gone from being afraid of his own shadow to becoming an increasingly confident, happy pup. I continue to see improvements every single day. The group lessons pull everything together and give me the tools and confidence I need to be what Finn needs. Finn is finally coming into his own. He even watched thunder and lightning calmly from the couch the tonight. I couldn’t be more grateful to the crew at Suncoast. 100000% recommend

I had tried multiple training programs with different techniques and each time I came up short with the final outcome! Finally, my wife and I were blessed to find Aaron and Dog Training Elite whose common sense approach to training your dog fixed the problem and we could not be more satisfied with the progress we've made with our Gracie girl! Their hands on, no nonsense approach was easy for me to understand and work with. Zero stress, superior results. Mind you, it is important that you listen, stay diligent and consistent in your training with your dog. It's like you train each other with a very satisfying outcome each time! I highly recommend this wonderful group of knowledgeable trainers!!! Sincerely, Craig

Amazing experience! Started to take my puppy to Dog Training Elite when he was 15weeks old, and he now is over a year old. They have help train me so I am able to train my dog to be my service anima. We have had private training sessions as well as attended group classes and had chances to join groups in public areas to work on training.

My dog and I had an excellent class this evening. The activities were varied and well planned enhancing learning in different areas. I also appreciated how the activities were indoors and outside in consideration for the hot weather with sufficient water breaks.

Great experience with the training staff and I am pleased with the results so far.

I definitely went with the best when it came to dog training. I couldn’t possibly be any happier. Both my pup and I felt loved and supported.

The staff were so kind and supportive. My pup was excited to see them every morning and they were very understanding and patient with my own needs. I’m very excited for our future. Here’s my fella resting near me inside a restaurant for the first time!

Dog Training Elite Suncoast has gotten my dog, Kelev, into tip-top shape to be ready to pass a therapy dog certification test. I look forward to having Kelev help and comfort people through Collaborative Divorces and become a formal member of my team in my law practice!

The trainers at Dog Training Elite are wonderful. They are very attentive, patient and helpful.

The class was very informative and professional. This eased my tension as a first timer in group.

This was great! You gave us great tools and advice for working with Little Boy on managing his reactivity. Working every day with muzzle-walks and inthe yard. Looking forward to the next class. Thanks!

Everyone at DTE is wonderful. Cash has a great time and they treat him like he's family.

They’ve been great to work with In assisting our disabled daughter to train a service dog. Very personable and friendly.

Kim, Ryan, and Aaron are the best! My dog, Stan, has completely transformed. We are so grateful for the knowledge and support we received and still receive. If you’re on the fence about signing your dog up: DO IT. No more pulling, barking, growling. It’s a lot of work but totally worth it. Thanks Dog Elite!

Dog Training Elite St. Petersburg is simply the best. The trainer, Aaron, was kind, patient, experienced and very understanding. My pup learned obedience commands as well as service dog commands which is quite challenging for a bulldog. It is the perfect option for professional dog training for anyone who wants a gentle and effective approach.

Love this place! I appreciate how dedicated the trainers are to ensuring that owners learn how to maintain the teachings their pets are being trained on. The trainers are so nice, helpful and probably love the dogs as much as their owners do lol. I've seen quite a transformation with my pup in his short time with them. So glad I chose DTE to train my pup! ❤️

I had a great experience here with the puppy class. The staff was very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond with tips and suggestions on puppy training. I would highly recommend as it really helped with handling our new and first puppy.

Top notch training and customer service! Dog Training Elite did an incredible job with my Great Dane Olive.

Our puppy went in being sorta trained, and he came out fully dialed in. From a great puppy to one that we can take anywhere with us. Fully listening to every family member!
