Community answer · Dog Training Elite Carmel / Fishers · 2025-09-21
Yes we train all ages and all breeds. Each dog breed has different behaviors and personalities due to a combination of genetics, selective breedings, and environmental factors. At Dog Training Elite, we work with every dog. Our team understands canine behavior and the unique challenges of every breed.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead we use proven techniques to bring out the best in your dog. From impulse control in terriers to focused mental stimulation for herding breeds, we’ll work with you and your dog to design a personalized training plan.

Dog Training Elite has been the best investment for my newly adopted four-year-old Pointer rescue. We just completed the Elite Training Camp, which was a game-changer for my boy. Our shared confidence and improved communication are invaluable. Dog Training Elite are professionals who treat you and your dog like family. The team has been the most communicative and empathic training team I have ever worked with. From Doug’s in-home consultation visit to the daily sessions with Anika, Josh, and Sonia, the entire DTE team was committed to addressing the foundation pillars of obedience and the specialty concerns I had for my dog. Love the continued support in the group classes and in-home visits. Forever grateful this obedience program was recommended.

We do not even know where to begin when it comes to how grateful we are for Dog Training Elite. Before attending the two week day camp, Hoosier, our year and a half golden retriever mix, struggled significantly with meeting new people. He would bark and lunge at them in an aggressive manner. The two week camp provided Hoosier (and us) with the tools for interacting with new people. This is just the beginning of his training as he will continue to attend weekly group sessions that come with the two week day camp package (which is amazing). We cannot say enough good things about all the trainers here. They have done such an incredible job with Hoosier, and we are so thankful for them.

Joshua arrived as planned to start our puppy program and our first session was great. He gave us an overview of what the first training session was going to be covered, demonstrated puppy command (off, crate, using the leash, name recognition, using training treats) addressed our questions and coached us on training dos and don’ts. Overall it was a great first lesson and we are looking to the next puppy training session.

Josh was fantastic. Everything I had hoped to get out of dog training was achieved and he gave me all the tools and advice to do it. And he was very patient when we were doing the first few sessions and my dog was aggressive.
