Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin

I highly recommend Tina at Dog Training Elite. From our very first session Tina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, extensive knowledge and genuine passion for dog training. She took the time to understand Stella’s obedience challenges and explained every technique in a way that was easy to understand and apply. Tina was always punctual, patient and affectionate with Stella making each training session a positive experience. It was clear that she truly cares about the dogs she works with and is committed to helping both the dog and the owner succeed. She was always willing to answer every question and address any concerns we had about Stella’s progress. She was always receptive, encouraging in her explanations giving us the confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. I have also attended my first group class with Stella and was very impressed with the organization and the training that was worked on. It was a safe, welcoming environment and both dogs and owners were well supported. Looking forward to continuing working on Stella’s obedience with the guidance from DTE!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're wondering whether Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin is worth it, let me save you some time... ABSOLUTELY! We reached out to Dog Training Elite after what was honestly one of the scariest moments I've ever experienced with our one-year-old Yellow Lab, Finland. Like many young Labs, Finland believed every walk was an Olympic pulling event. We tried different leashes, harnesses, and every "miracle" gadget we could find. If he decided he wanted to investigate something, we were just along for the ride. Then came *the walk*. We were heading home when Finland spotted a service worker on the sidewalk. His whole back end turned into one giant wag, and he was determined to go say hello. I turned to avoid the distraction, and at that exact moment, a brown paper bag blew across the sidewalk. Naturally, Finland decided that bag was the most exciting thing he'd ever seen. In the blink of an eye, the leash wrapped around my leg, flipped me flat onto my back, and Finland dragged me into the street... just as a semi truck was approaching. Thankfully, the driver stopped in time and helped me up. I cried the entire walk home, convinced I'd never be able to safely walk my own dog again. The first thing I did when I got home was call Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin. Marcy answered the phone and immediately put my mind at ease. She assured me they could help make our walks enjoyable again. She wasn't kidding. From day one, both Marcy and Stephany were incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely cared about both me *and* Finland. They never made me feel embarrassed or judged. Every lesson built our confidence together, and before long, our chaotic walks turned into something I actually looked forward to. Today, our walks are relaxing, enjoyable, and something we both love. Finland still has his goofy Lab personality, but now he walks with manners and actually pays attention to me. Dog Training Elite didn't just train our dog. They gave me my confidence back. If you're on the fence about investing in training, don't wait until you have your own scary story. Call them now. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made for both our family and our sweet boy. Thank you, Marcy and Stephany, for changing our lives, one walk at a time! 🐾💛

We chose Dog Training Elite because we needed help with our sweet but rambunctious 1 year old golden retriever, Greta. I was a little nervous about the use of an e-collar at first, but after our initial meeting with Rico and getting to feel for ourselves that the stimulation from the e-collar isn't painful, I felt more confident that it was the right choice. We started working with Tina and within one week we went from having to bribe Greta to come to us using a trail of treats to having her come to us easily. Now that we have completed our individual lessons, Greta can heed all of our commands and will get even better with more practice. She is still a young dog with lots of energy, but we can more easily channel that energy thanks to the skills we all learned through training. Tina was a patient and knowledgeable trainer, which was so helpful to us because in addition to helping my husband and I learn to train Greta she also helped our 6 year old work with her too. Any time we had questions Tina was able to answer them or find out the answer for us, including problem solving for some smaller non-targeted behaviors Greta was showing and troubleshooting when Greta needed changes to her e-collar set up. We look forward to continuing our work with Dog Training Elite in group lessons, and highly recommend their services!
