    Dog Training Elite did an amazing job training our service animal Bailey (standard golden doodle). Their team is very knowledgeable and effective. They not only train your dog but also teach you the skills needed to train your own dog. Their weekly group classes have been extremely helpful for maintaining our dogs trained commands.

    DTE are the 2nd dog training co. I've used. The first was for my son's dog - and DTE for my own. I'm so happy with the personalized experience DTE have offered me. Kim, Aaron & Ryan are all excellent folks to work with. My Pepper has learned so much and I look forward to completion of the program so she will have full-on Service Dog credentials. This has been a great experience.

    Absolutely fantastic experience with Dog Training Elite! From the very first consultation, their team showed a genuine commitment to understanding both my dog and my needs. The trainers are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and caring. They use positive reinforcement techniques that made all the difference in building a strong bond with my dog while addressing behavior issues. I saw noticeable improvements in just a few sessions! My dog is now more obedient, calm, and responsive, and our walks are a breeze. The personalized training plan tailored specifically to us was so effective, and I appreciate how they also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing good habits at home. The customer service was outstanding—always responsive, supportive, and eager to help with any questions. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to invest in their dog’s training and well-being. They truly deliver results, and it’s clear they care about both dogs and their owners. 5 stars all the way! 🐾🌟

    DTE is the best, Kim, Ryan, & Aaron go above & beyond. Not only do they train your dog but they teach you how to reinforce what your dog has learned. So many people comment on how well behaved my dog is and I tell them it’s thanks to DTE.

    Dog Training Elite transformed my life with my dog Sammy! Their in-home training approach made all the difference, as they worked directly with both of us in our comfortable environment. The trainers took the time to understand our specific needs and developed a personalized program that brought out the best in Sammy. Thanks to their expert guidance, Sammy and I now confidently travel the world together! From navigating busy airports to exploring new cities, the skills we learned have given us the freedom to embark on amazing adventures. The training techniques were clear, effective, and easy to maintain. What really sets them apart is their commitment to ongoing development through group distraction training. These sessions have been invaluable in strengthening Sammy's skills in real-world situations, helping her stay focused and well-behaved even in challenging environments. It's amazing to see her continue to grow and improve! The team's dedication extends beyond training sessions - they've remained available to answer questions and provide additional guidance whenever needed. Their commitment to their clients' success is remarkable. The entire team is professional, passionate, and genuinely invested in creating strong bonds between dogs and their owners. Sammy and I couldn't be happier with the results! If you're looking for comprehensive, personalized dog training that delivers lasting results and continues to build your dog's skills over time, look no further than Dog Training Elite.

    They have taught me a lot through the sessions. Lot of things I had been doing wrong which led to bad habits. They're super helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend

    Kim and her team are fantastic. They truly care about you and your dog(s) and helping your situation. Kim is very willing to adapt to your needs and has a great, no nonsense approach to dog training. She’s patient with the humans learning how to speak dog and she just makes it a fun and educational experience. So glad we picked Elite for our dog training.

    We've had a great experience with Dog Trading Elite, specifically with our in home trainers Ryan and Janna. We called them because we rescued a Bernese Mountain Dog, Winnie, who was very fearful of almost everything and had no manners. We also wanted to try for the third time with our energetic 7 1/2 year old golden retriever, Murphy, who had some bad habits. The patience these two had with Winnie, who seemingly couldn't do anything easily, was remarkable. Murphy took to most of the training well, but needed an extra nudge when he was excited (which was often). They changed tactics often and the group classes have been so helpful to year them both in distracting environments. This training requires the owner to work with their dog, but provides long lasting results. They'll meet you anywhere, your home, Home Depot, wherever! Well worth the cost, our home is so much more balanced!

    I put my dog Faye into Dog Training Elite at about 8 months old. I had done training classes with Petsmart before but nothing truly worked. She is super food motivated but I just needed to find the right class for her. Dog Training Elite was beyond perfect us. Faye now has a perfect recall and I am able to walk her off leash. She is so beyond obedient. Everyone we met and worked with went above and beyond to make sure Faye got the training she truly needed. Me and Faye are so happy with the outcome of the training.

    I highly recommend these trainers to everyone!! I couldn’t be happier. They are amazing!!! They started with me right away with my puppy and now today he is passed his public access test. They are personal and really get to know you and your dog. Buddha also loves them! He’s a cane corso. They can train any dog. Thanks again for everything!!!

    We highly recommend Dog Training Elite! Our 5 month old puppy learned so much over the 5 weeks of in home training and continues to learn at the Group Distractions Training on Saturdays at Seminole park in St. Petersburg. Aaron and the entire DTE training family are professional, compassionate, hands on and love what they do for you and your lovely pet. My puppy was able to learn all the commands during the one on one trainings and did a great job at home after the trainers were gone. The more we worked with her and had fun training, the more disciplined and consistent she became with commands. DTE is worth every penny on the investment and peace of mind. Please give them a call to schedule your free introduction.

    We began a search for a service dog about 2 years ago. About a year ago, by a stroke of luck, we were directed to Dog Training Elite Suncoast where we met Ryan. Ryan started a search and quickly found the perfect dog for my wife. They developed an instant bond. Then Ryan, Kim and Aaron went to work with Shadow’s training. Since then, Shadow has attained the service dog certification and has been busy at work working with my wife and giving her advance notification of an oncoming episode. We feel blessed with the results of the entire process and there is no way that we could have accomplished this on our own. We are continuing to attend group sessions and strengthening his skills. I would 100% recommend Dog Training Elite Suncoast to anyone.

    I am so pleased with the training. Both the in home and group sessions have taught me and my dog so much. The trainers are patient and also make it fun for my dog. Aaron was so kind in including our older dog who wanted to learn as well. I wish I started the training years ago when my dog was a puppy.

    I can't imagine a better experience! Dog Training Elite St. Petersburg will improve the relationship between you and your dog by training you (the owner) how to communicate effectively with your fur baby. Not only will they teach you how to train commands, but they will challenge you how to take those commands to the next level. So, your dog can sit or down for 30 seconds? Great! Can they sit for 5 full minutes with a bicycle, runner, ball, and squirrel going by? With Dog Training Elite, you can train them to do this and more. Truly exceptional! They will take your dog's obedience and manners beyond where you ever thought possible.

If you want a well-mannered and behaved dog no matter the situation, call DTE! JUST CALL DTE! You won’t regret it!
