Evan Sutton - Owner
Evan Sutton
Owner

Hi, I’m Evan Sutton! After my service in the military, I was looking for something that was fun and rewarding. After applying through the Malinois Foundation to get a service dog, I realized dog training was that thing. I am currently the lead dog trainer and love building up my clients and team to reach their full potential.

Some fun facts about me: I’m 6’8” and a big teddy bear. I love riding motorcycles and off roading. I have 5 dogs: 2 Belgian Malinois, 1 Frenchie, 1 Bug (Boston Terrier/Pug), and a Dachshund. I am commonly known around the office as a Disney princess because all animals seem to flock to me…I’m not mad about it.

Head Trainer

Hi, I’m Deidre Wilson! With the help of awesome family and friends I sought out a dog trainer to train my Doberman to be a service dog for me. I found DTE and loved building up my training skills and how much of a difference my pup made. I joined the team to help others, reach their full potential with their dog and get their lives back just like I did.

Some fun facts about me: I’m average height but my hair makes me a few inches taller. I love lifting weights with my all time best at 500lbs for a single back squat. And no I don’t squat that much anymore but can get kinda close. I have just my one pup for now but am hoping to add another Doberman soon!

Hello! My name is Meagan Ahlstrom and I've always loved being around animals, especially dogs. I knew I wanted to work with animals and I started out as a dog bather in 2021 and have been grooming dogs since 2022. I wanted to further my dog repertoire so I seeked out dog training and found DTE! I love working with all the different types of dogs and especially love helping out at group class.

Fun things about me: I did woodworking for 4 years and have made several furniture pieces, I have a Pomeranian Chihuahua mix who I competed with in dog agility, and I love plants!

    We LOVE Deidre! We honestly can’t sing her praises enough. We have one more session with her, and we wish we could have a lifetime! She’s incredible, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and just an all-around amazing trainer. 1000/10 would recommend her and this business!

    I'm excited to be working with Deidre. What stood out immediately was how thorough and prepared she was; she covered all the necessary information with impressive detail.

    So far so good. We reached out to Dog Training Elite Utah. They were very responsive and came to our home and helped us with tons of info. We are first time dog owners and no nothing. They were so patient and helpful. We are very excited to be working with them and will give updates. -Update: We are not into our training and learning a ton about our little puppy. I am so so very happy that we are working with Dog Training Elite. After just the first lesson we were able to get Chico to obey some of our commands! I am shocked at the info they gave us and how it worked so fast.

    Just had our first private training session and I’m so impressed. Deidre was amazing and broke things down in such a digestible way for us. My dog is already improved in just an hour. Can’t wait for the next sessions.

    I love Dog Training Elite Utah County. The trainers are phenomenal and the change in my dogs is huge. All the trainers really care and help with so much. Deidre did almost all of our solo in home lessons and she is amazing. My dogs are like night and day. They helped me to become a better person and dog handler. I figured out that a lot of my issues were me and not my dogs. Thank you so much! Highly recommend them all for dog training.
  • Marceline The Vampire Queen

    My dog, Piper, was the neighborhood terror. Literally. The neighborhood kids would come up to me and tell me she was scary. I was convinced that no one would get to see the Piper I know. Previous trainers barely made it through the door. In the very first session with Deidre, Piper calmed down. The difference is obvious! Deidre did what no one else could. In summary, if you feel like hope is lost with your dog and you have to keep them away from the world, call Dog Training Elite. They changed both our lives for the better.

    Deidra came by. She is friendly and comfortable in my home. She worked well with my dog. She explained things clearly and answered questions and then did a great job checking to see if my dog was a canidate for the training. He is! Thanks so much.

    Deidre and the Dog Training Elite family are awesome!!! Murphy just loves Deidre. We have been doing training together since he was a puppy. Recently we had been going through a rough patch with Murphy. One call, Elite and Deidre was to our rescue. She helped me understand what was happening, taught me what to watch for and then help me implement it in my daily training routine. Dog Training Elite is truly elite at their craft!! Thank you for everything!

    We are so incredibly happy and grateful for Dog Training Elite! They are AMAZING to work with and truly incredible with our Cookie! They are all kind, patient and knowledgeable. My Cookie is now 7 months old and has learned so much! We both have! Dog Training Elite has given me the confidence and tools to reach our goals. Our family, our pack, feels stronger than ever! Kaycee is so kind, attentive and amazing at what she does! I never have to wonder or worry, I know Kaycee is there to help and answer any questions. She is quick to respond and won't hesitate to call and check in. Deidre is such a strong and knowledgeable dog trainer, her skills are incredible! I'm always amazed and wowed at her knowledge and her ability to connect with dogs. Cookie loves her! Cookie loves to be challenged and given puzzles, Deidre is a master at creating drills and challenges that are not only fun for the dogs but teaches them such useful and amazing real life skills! Deidre is also very caring, kind and a great listener. Megan is an amazing and very creative trainer. She's kind, confident, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile! There was a session she stayed an extra 10 minutes addressing a question i had. She cares for her clients, both humans and pups. I can't thank Dog Training Elite enough! They have made such an impact on our lives and I'm so excited to continue working with them.
