Positive Reinforcement Training


Read More
Read Less

Positive reinforcement is widely recognized as one of the most effective and humane methods for training puppies and adult dogs. This training approach focuses on rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing unwanted ones.

This method is especially beneficial for puppies as it helps them develop confidence and trust their owners from an early age. Rewards such as treats, praise, or toys encourage puppies to repeat good behaviors, making the learning process effective and enjoyable. For adult dogs, positive reinforcement is equally effective. It shapes desired behaviors and helps prevent the development of bigger issues like anxiety, aggression, or destructive tendencies.

Why Dog Training Elite is Committed to Positive Reinforcement

At Dog Training Elite, we believe dogs learn best when they feel secure, loved, and motivated. That’s why we incorporate positive reinforcement into all of our training programs. Our approach is based on the idea that rewarding good behavior leads to lasting results, helping your dog develop the skills they need to succeed in any environment.

By focusing on positive reinforcement, we teach your dog obedience and strengthen the bond between you and your pet, making the training experience rewarding for both of you. Whether you’re working on basic commands, advanced obedience, or addressing specific behavioral issues, our commitment to positive reinforcement ensures your dog’s training is effective and humane.

    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!

    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.

    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!

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!

Our Balanced Theory

At Dog Training Elite, we believe in using a balanced approach for all of our training programs.

Here’s how our approach works:

We provide owners with the practical skills and knowledge needed to manage their dogs in any situation. Our hands-on training ensures owners feel confident and capable of continuing the training process independently.
Our programs are customized to the unique needs of each dog, taking into account factors such as breed, temperament, and specific behavioral issues. This personalized approach maximizes effectiveness and helps dogs reach their full potential.
We train dogs in familiar environments. Whether at home or in a public setting, we ensure the training is practical and relevant to everyday challenges. This ensures your dog behaves just as well in the doggy park as he does in the home.
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with the initial training program. We offer continued training and resources to help maintain and build on your dog’s progress, ensuring ongoing improvement for both you and your pet.
Training with Dog Training Elite is an investment in your dog’s long-term behavior and your peace of mind. Our programs lay the foundation for lifelong good behavior and strong bonds, providing lasting benefits for you and your canine companion.

In-Home Training

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to dog training, many facilities only offer group classes. While these classes can be beneficial in certain situations, they often fail to address specific behavioral issues and provide personalized attention. Group classes tend to focus on general obedience in a controlled environment, which may not accurately reflect your dog's real-life challenges at home.

Benefits of In-Home Training

At Dog Training Elite, we prioritize in-home training before introducing them to group settings. Here’s why in-home training is an important first step:

  • Training in a Familiar Environment: In-home training occurs where your dog spends most of their time. This familiar setting helps your dog feel secure and comfortable, making it easier for them to learn and retain new behaviors.
  • Personalized Attention: Our trainers focus on your dog's specific behavioral challenges, providing customized solutions. This one-on-one approach ensures your dog gets the attention they need to succeed.
  • Fewer Distractions: Unlike group classes, in-home training minimizes distractions, allowing your dog to focus better on the lessons. By eliminating the chaos of group environments, we can address behaviors more effectively.
  • Involvement of the Whole Family: In-home training encourages active participation from all family members. This collaborative approach ensures everyone is on the same page, reinforcing consistent commands and behaviors across the board.

At Dog Training Elite, we offer both in-home training and group classes. It’s important to note we only introduce your pup to group classes when our trainers and you feel comfortable doing so.

By working one-on-one with your pup before they meet other friends, we address the root causes of their behavior and ensure they are well-behaved in the place that matters most–your home.

For many dog owners, having a well-behaved dog that can be trusted off-leash is a top goal, but it’s not always easy to achieve. Off-leash obedience requires a high level of training, where your dog listens and responds, even in a distracting environment.

At Dog Training Elite, we specialize in Utah County off-leash training. Our programs are made to match each dog’s unique temperament and behavior, ensuring the training is both effective and long-lasting. With years of experience handling all types of dogs, Dog Training Elite helps you achieve confidence in your pet, whether on leash or off.
