Our free evaluation is designed to give you clarity and confidence. One of our professional trainers will visit your home, listen to your goals and concerns, and discuss what life with your dog could look like with the right training. Many families tell us they feel overwhelmed before the visit, but leave the evaluation feeling hopeful and empowered. We’ll outline our proven approach and walk you through your options so you can make the choice that best fits your family and your dog.

Families often come to us after trying trainers who rely on endless treats, harsh corrections, or inconsistent methods and still seeing little progress. What sets Dog Training Elite apart is our focus on clear communication, trust, and respect. We customize our approach to your dog’s unique needs, teaching them how to make better choices while building their confidence. The result isn’t just quick obedience, but lasting transformation that strengthens the bond between you and your dog.

Absolutely. We believe successful training involves the whole household. Many families notice their dog listens to one person but ignores everyone else—our training changes that. We’ll show you how to work together so your dog responds consistently to everyone. With just 15–20 minutes of practice a day, your family will reinforce progress and deepen your bond. Involving everyone ensures results that last, because your dog isn’t just part of your home—they’re part of your family.

Most programs involve weekly sessions, adjusted to your schedule and your dog’s progress. As your dog advances, you’ll also gain access to group classes where obedience is tested and reinforced around distractions. This balanced structure—private instruction plus group practice—keeps your dog on track and ensures real-world results.

While many families come to us with concerns like jumping or barking, these behaviors are often symptoms of a deeper challenge: unclear communication. Our training builds a solid foundation of obedience first, which makes it easier to correct problem behaviors and prevent new ones from developing. Once your dog understands how to follow your lead, those specific issues fade—and you’ll have the tools to handle anything that comes up in the future.

We’ll stick to training the dogs—they learn faster and argue less! But many families tell us that once their dog learns structure and discipline, it inspires the rest of the household to follow suit. A well-trained dog has a way of bringing out the best in everyone.

Yes. Whether it’s a Chihuahua with a big personality or a Great Dane with a stubborn streak, we train them all. Every dog is unique, and our customized approach ensures they succeed regardless of breed or size.

Yes—aggression is one of our specialties. Many families come to us feeling stressed, worried, or even embarrassed about their dog’s behavior. Whether it’s growling, snapping, lunging, or biting, we address the root causes with proven methods that build trust, obedience, and calm responses under pressure. No dog is “too challenging.” We’ll help you restore confidence, safety, and peace in your home.

We provide specialized training for service dogs that assist with PTSD, psychiatric support, autism, allergen detection, medical alerts, and mobility challenges. We also train therapy dogs that bring comfort and companionship in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and treatment centers. Because service needs are never one-size-fits-all, we tailor our programs to your unique situation and guide you every step of the way.

Service dogs must have calm, stable temperaments and the ability to stay focused in any environment. While breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Poodles often excel, temperament is more important than breed. Some service roles require certifications such as AKC Canine Good Citizen, which we can help you achieve. If you’re unsure about your dog’s potential, we offer free evaluations to help you understand your options.
