Doug came to my home for an initial evaluation with our puppy, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly patient, informative, and a wealth of knowledge. As first-time puppy owners beginning the training process, he took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I was really impressed by the wide range of training services Dog Training Elite offers and how personalized their approach is. After meeting with Doug, I'm excited to enroll my puppy in their day camp and continue working with the team. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable, and supportive dog trainers!
We were amazed at how much our new puppy learned at day camp. The staff are all amazing and the process is very thorough and organized. We are very happy that we used DTE for our puppy’s training.
