Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

What is involved with a free assessment?

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.

Question on Google
I just have a few issues with my dog, can we cover those issues only?

To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.

Question on Google
What kind of temperament does my dog need to have to be service trained?

To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog's aptitude for service work for free!

Who Says You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks? My neighbors certainly did! However, Josephine, the owner and lead trainer, proved them wrong!! Storm, our 11 year old rescue, was out of control when anyone rang the front door bell. He would charge ahead of us, and bark aggressively…non stop. After only 2 lessons with Josephine using DTE’s proven methods, and us reinforcing them daily, Storm now stays in his “place” when the doorbell rings, and is learning to be “quiet”. We just finished the 5th lesson, and we can confidently and safely walk Storm by our side around our neighborhood. He “heels”, is not pulling, or distracted by other dogs and is focused on the commands. If we stop, and he’s told “down”, he goes down with chest and elbows on the ground. This is the hardest command to follow as it means total submission by him. We highly recommend Josephine and her side-kicks, Gracie and Dottie :) The DTE program she is using was developed over 45 years. We learnt that success with Storm would only be possible with mutual trust, consistency, positive reinforcement, and most of all…working with him at least 15 minutes everyday. Thanks Josephine, for teaching Storm, our old dog, new tricks!!!

Before training, our year and a half old frenchie was reactive and had no manners! Safe to say he was running our house. After the first session, we noticed a HUGE shift in his behavior! Now that we are 4 sessions in, he is more confident, less reactive and respects us. It’s been amazing to see his progression! We highly recommend Josephine Grace with Dog Training Elite Palm Beach County! It has changed our household.

We are about 5 lessons in with Josephine and our 8 month old puppy. We are so impressed with what Buddy/we have learned. Practice is the key, and they give you all the tools you need to have a happy, well-balanced dog.

I’m so grateful for the help and insight Josephine provided for my dog. Before my Nailah enrolled in Dog Training Elite, she was a cute and fluffy little menace. After training with Josephine, she is a totally different dog! Not only do Josephine train Nailah, she lovingly trained us as well. I’ve learned so much from here that I never even considered before. Nailah is still cute and fluffy but she is also a beloved member of the family. She’s stopped nipping us and counter surfing. She’s stopped her incessant barking and pulling us during walks. If you’re considering this program-do it. You will have a well behaved companion if you stick with Josephine!

I hired josephine to help me train my germand shepard puppy, she came to my home and had a pushy / salesy approach to signing up after the first "trail" lesson - we were so desperate to fix behavioral issues that my dog had and we hired her. Josephine's "dog training" methods involve strapping an ecollar to your dog and zapping him 3 times for every command, raising your voice at your dog to establish "dominance". I dont think this is a robust training approach and is definitly not a way to establish trust with your pet - after a few lessons we stopped reaching out, accepted we had wasted ~$2k and went on to find a different trainer. We found a quality board and train program that has trained many GSD and belgians, they treat the ecollar as a simulation of the dog's mother nip, we barely use the e-collar during training now and our dog is doing so much better. I will warn you to double think before engaging w dog training elite
