The Benefits of Puppy Training

Our classes help your pup grow into a well-behaved dog. Here are a few benefits you can expect from choosing our elite training:

  • Deepen Your Bond With Your Puppy: Training your puppy – and continuing training with new tricks as they get older – is a great way to bond closely. Puppies have a natural desire to please and will learn to rely on you for guidance and direction, establishing a foundation of trust and love.
  • Socialize Your Dog: Obedience training, especially with group classes, helps dogs become comfortable and well-socialized around other dogs and people. This is important for when you want to take your dog on walks or invite people into your home.
  • Improve Your Dog’s Safety: Training your dog to listen and obey your commands will help them stay safe in any situation. Learning commands like “down,” “leave it,” “stop,” and “wait” can keep your dog safe from messing with dangerous things like electrical cords and other situations outdoors.
  • Provide Mental Stimulation: Good dogs can become bad dogs if they don’t have a way to work out physical and mental energy. Training as a lifelong pursuit is a great way to challenge your dog mentally and keep them engaged.

    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. I especially appreciate the patience and generous amount of time and focused attention she gave me. Knowing she is this dedicated makes me feel confident moving forward.

    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.

Training Essentials for Your Puppy

Here are a few puppy training tips from the expert team at Dog Training Elite! If you have any questions or want to see these methods in action, give us a call. We are more than happy to show you a demonstration and provide you with a glimpse of what our professional team can do!

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in positive reinforcement and yummy treats do the trick! We recommend a high-quality, berry-sized reward that your puppy will enjoy. Rewarding your dog while training teaches them that you approve of that behavior and maintains their motivation to perform well.
Because you’ll be handing out lots of treats, you will probably want a treat bag or pouch. There are many options out there with different sizes, shapes, and ways to carry. The benefit of getting a treat pouch is the ease of access and the ability to reward your puppy quickly. If you aren’t interested in getting a treat pouch, we recommend getting a small bag to carry you puppy’s rewards.
A clicker is a great tool to have along with rewards when training a puppy. With a clicker, you can immediately provide a positive sound when your dog performs a correct behavior, and then you can reward them with a treat. Pairing a clicker with treats is a great way to instill positive reinforcement because you teach your dog that they get a treat when they hear a click. You can buy many kinds of clickers at your local pet store, and they even have helpful clicker apps.
A good leash is another essential when bringing home a new puppy. We suggest a leash made of a durable material like leather and about 6 feet long to allow for comfortable room for both of you. Training your dog on a leash will set you up for fun walks in the future, keep your dog safe, and prevent them from getting lost while out of the house. It is also beneficial for an excited puppy who wants to run around and play while training.
You'll need a sturdy collar or harness to attach a leash while training. Deciding between a flat collar or body harness is up to your personal preference, but it is good to consider your dog's comfort and demeanor. A collar is necessary while training and for safety while out and about. A collar/harness is also the best place to attach the identification for your puppy. If anything happened to your dog, you'd be glad you had a collar with your information on it!
Getting a dog crate is a great way to housetrain your puppy. You will want to get a durable and safe crate for your dog that has enough room for them to be comfortable. You want the crate to be a place of calm and safety for your dog, not a punishment zone. Getting your puppy crate trained gives you a safe space in your home to keep them while they are unsupervised and also prevents unwanted behaviors like chewing or peeing inside.
