Deidre is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met! She is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. She’s great with my dog, she’s honest and helpful. I’ve really enjoyed our time with her and the success both my dog and I have had thanks to her!

Follow up 6 months later-Reggie had some continued training to learn to fetch things for his girl, and is absolutely incredible at it thanks to Evan and his team!..We also took a trip to Florida with Reggie. First flight with him, Disney World, and Universal Studios for ten days straight. He did absolutely remarkable, and most people didn’t even realize we had a dog with us until they noticed his Minnie ears. He was able to ride several rides with his girl, and did incredible! Elite dog training is the absolute best of the best!!! We have a service dog for my 9 year old, and between Evan, and Kaycee I couldn’t ask for better people to work with! They have gone absolutely above and beyond to help our pup do any, and everything possible to help our daughter live the most independent life despite her chronic health problems. The amount of time, and work they have put into Reggie these last two years is astounding. Because of them Reggie is able to spend countless weeks in the hospital with my 9 year old, he goes to school with her everyday, and goes everywhere she goes. He is by far the best dog ever because of the incredible people at Elite. You can absolutely tell the people at Elite love what they do! 5 stars is not enough to describe what an incredible company this is!! We LOVE Utah County Elite dog trainers!!

My experience so far has been amazing. I’m beyond happy with Deidre Wilson! She has been amazing with my Doberman and has such a natural connection with my entire pack. Deidre is not only talented but also takes the time to explain everything, educating me and giving me the confidence to succeed with my Doberman. I couldn’t ask for a better dog trainer! Kaycee is also fantastic, always patient and flexible with our schedule, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend them both and their staff.

Deidre showed up for our initial consultation and immediately made me feel confident in her, and DTE’s, training and knowledge! She is kind, calm, educated, and very patient! We cannot wait to have her start training our puppy!

Deidre is knowledgeable, patient and kind. She is a professional and one who certainly knows her craft. Our dog took to her guidance and direction, with little complaint. Deidre is confident; it is obvious that she likes what she does. It shows in her enthusiasm and her ability to teach.

Deidre is fantastic and has brought out a whole new side of our dog. Instructions are clear and tailored to us and how we learn. She has amazing insight into how to clean up our commands and how to fix anything we are struggling with. I'm so grateful that we chose to do this.

Today was our fourth training session with Elite, I couldn’t be happier. Bailey has trained with both Meaghan and Deidre both trainers have been AWESOME! Every single training session has helped me to be the best leader I can be. Bailey is my first from scratch puppy, I was so concerned that I would do things with her that would lead to bad behaviors that she would have to unlearn and it would be my fault, as soon as we started our training with Elite those fears went away immediately!! With Elites help I am confident we will achieve our goals!! I am so grateful! Bailey is doing so well, I can’t wait until we complete our training and we can go everywhere together! I am really look forward to being able to go through the doors that were closed on me 17 years ago when I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I know with Elites help Bailey and I will be ready to explore a whole new world together and that will change my life! Conclusion… If you are looking for assistance training your puppy or dog, without a shred of hesitation I would recommend that you give ELITE the opportunity to help you in the ways they are helping us!! It is an investment with limitless rewards for you and your puppy!!

Where do I begin, this training experience was amazing. I am throughly impressed with the knowledge passed along from the one, the only… Deidre Wilson. Deidre’s energy is amazing and makes learning for my dog and I so much more positive and enjoyable. I will forever recommend Dog Training Elite of Utah County to anyone with a K9 young or old.

We have three girls that we absolutely adore, but we have had some challenges with our oldest and youngest. While we have a good amount of knowledge, we need extra help/training on how to help reactivity that has recently become a bigger issue. So my husband found Dog Training Elite, and we have been super impressed. Diedre came to our house for the consultation and because of her, I decided that this was the company we would go with to help us. She also is the person that comes to our house for training sessions. Her knowledge and expertise on dogs who are reactive/aggressive/stubborn is amazing and she answers our questions and concerns with such knowledge. She doesn’t make me feel like a crappy dog owner. She makes me feel at ease and also feel empowered that I can changed my dogs behaviors with what she is teaching us. We still have more training to do, but I believe with what I have experienced so far, we will be able to have a house that is not full of tension! I also want to share my experience with Kaycee. Kaycee is who I have texted/called with questions and to set up the appointment times. She is so easy to talk to, she always texts back to see how things are going, and I don’t feel judge for what I’m experiencing with my ladies. The care she has for how my dogs are and how training is going is amazing. She is quick to respond, even when I tell her that she doesn’t have to respond quickly. The whole team clearly cares about the household and wants to help, which I’m forever grateful for. I am so impressed with this company so far, I had to share a review now even though training is not done yet. While the training is an investment, this training is worth it!!!

FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. 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.

Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.

Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Utah County.

We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

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.

Deidre Wilson

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!

Meagan Ahlstrom

Trainer

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!

Kaycee Pullman

DTE Utah County Operations Manager / Admin

Hi my name is Kaycee Pullman! I am a mother of three incredible children and three incredible pups. In my free time I enjoy caring for my ridiculous amount of house plants, camping and being around those I love. From a young age people always told me I had an abundance of charisma and that I would one day help many people. Lucky for me, here I am! My passion for service dog training runs deep, being as I have seen first hand my kids lives impacted in the best way with their service pups. Working for DTE I have been able to embrace my love for dogs and bettering people's lives.
