FirstBarkI would recommend dog Training Elite to every dog owner. Kim had our German shepherd Cerberus in line and learning immediately. He is now able to do commands in German and walk with confidence in public. He is more gentle with the grand baby as well. Thank you sooo much!!! ♥️🐶♥️

DTE has been amazing for my three-year-old German Shepherd and me. With just basic obedience and their extensive knowledge, I now have the confidence in myself and my pup to go out into the world without any anxiety. Not to mention the bond we have built. The trainers at DTE are not only knowledgeable but also personable. Whether you need basic obedience or advanced training, DTE is the place to be.

Dog Training Elite has been absolutely awesome for my German Shepherd Loki. He was dog reactive and lacked the confidence he needed. With the 6 weeks of training from Dog Training Elite he has improved drastically. Both trainers we worked with Jack and Kim were very professional and super knowledgeable. Working with Kim was great she absolutely adores German shepherds and had so much patience with Loki. I’m happy I have the tools now for Loki and I to have better communication and be able to do more fun things outside of the house. If you are looking for a place you can trust and also has a very detailed program put in place for you and your furry companions this is the place. Thank you Dog Training Elite.

Jack has trained by dog since she was a puppy and made an incredible difference in her obedience and her overall demeanor. Jack is patient and a natural at what he does. He talks through the entire process and thoroughly explains the training technique, each step of the way. Jack and Cannady are both very professional and attentive to you and your animals needs. My puppy is now a certified therapy dog and I couldn't have done it without Jack and Cannady! They are the best!
