Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin

From our initial phone call with Marcy, I knew we had connected to the right training program for our golden Nellie. Marcy was encouraging, understanding, and validating. The training sessions in our home were so effective. Marcy was amazing with Nellie. She helped me control my own anxiety and she was very supportive and built confidence in our abilities to work with Nellie. Marcy was consistently patient, knowledgeable and professional. Nellie has learned so much. The training was exceptional and has made her a well mannered dog. We would highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

Here’s a polished version that incorporates your additional feedback about Larissa’s work with your family and her approach to e-collar training: Our experience with Dog Training Elite was excellent from start to finish. Larissa was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in Nala’s success. She took the time to understand our long-term goal of helping Nala progress toward becoming a psychiatric service dog and tailored the training to her specific needs, temperament, and learning style. The instruction was clear and easy for our family to follow, making practice at home highly effective. One of the biggest improvements was teaching Nala to focus on us and look to us for direction rather than making her own decisions. Larissa helped us establish consistent leadership so Nala understands that we are the ones in control, not the other way around. After just three sessions, we saw major improvements in her obedience, engagement, focus, and responsiveness. By the end of the program, Nala was reliably following commands at home and in distracting public environments while maintaining much better attention on her handlers. Larissa was also incredibly patient in teaching us, as owners, how to properly train and communicate with Nala. She took the time to explain the purpose and correct use of the e-collar as a training tool, emphasizing that it is meant to reinforce communication and consistency rather than punishment. She even offered to speak with any member of our household to ensure everyone understood the training methods and the importance of using the e-collar correctly and consistently. What impressed us most was the focus on building the handler-dog relationship that is essential for a future psychiatric service dog. Nala learned to check in with us more consistently, remain calm around distractions, and respond confidently to direction. Daily walks became more structured and enjoyable, unwanted behaviors decreased significantly, and we felt much more confident handling her in a variety of situations. We are grateful for the skills, leadership techniques, and confidence Larissa helped us develop, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone seeking professional, high-quality dog training.

We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our dog, Poppy, is incredibly sweet but also very stubborn, and we weren't sure how much progress we'd be able to make. Thanks to the patience, expertise, and encouragement of our trainer, Marcy, we've seen an amazing transformation. Marcy took the time to understand Poppy's personality and tailored her approach to what worked best for her. She made training enjoyable for both us and our dog while giving us practical tools and techniques we could use every day. What impressed us most was Marcy's patience and consistency—she never gave up on Poppy, even when Poppy was determined to do things her own way! Poppy is now more responsive, better behaved, and much more confident. The improvement has made a huge difference in our daily life, and we truly appreciate all the support and guidance we received throughout the process. If you're looking for a dog training company that genuinely cares about your dog's success, we highly recommend them. And a special thank you to Marcy for helping us turn our stubborn pup into a well-mannered companion!
