After the 2 week day camp with Josh and his team I have seen huge change in my very anxious 6 yr old dog. He went from being scared of everything (and barking at everything) to becoming a more confindent dog thru training. We were nervous to take him out due to his dog aggression and now have the tools to do so whether on a walk or to Petco!
Josh and his fantastic team, has done a fantastic job with my Yorkie!!! They are not only professional, but detailed oriented!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Elijah did an amazing job and I can’t thank him and Dog Training elite do this opportunity and in-home session.
Josh is the best! Very knowledgeable and you can tell he has a passion for dogs and helping owners build a trusting relationship with their dogs. Appreciate all his support!
