I've read all the reviews, before choosing: DOG TRAINING ELITE, now I'm returning the favor. This is the place to go if you want to teach your dog some manners, and unknowingly build a better relationship with your fur baby. Staff is top notch in every way! My dog went from an unmanageable happy dog. To a very well responsible and very happy dog. In a matter of only 6 weeks.

The turn around with Swati’s behavior was amazing. She was a rescue and quite a handful. I was overwhelmed. Taking her here for training was definitely the right decision. Sydney is awesome.

Highly recommend DTE! Sydney was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. She cares about your dog, but also the priorities of your family and works closely with you to problem-solve and train your dog to fit right into your family lifestyle. Dogs can sense a good person, and I think it says something that our dog would always get excited when Sydney was around. We just completed the one-on-one sessions and look forward to the group lessons. When looking into different training options, we thought about sending our dog to a “boarding school” and I’m so glad we didn’t. DTE taught us so much about not just training for good behaviors, but strengthening the bond and trust we have with our pup. Ultimately, we hope to train our dog as a therapy dog and I feel we’re on the right track thanks to DTE.
Elite Upstate was amazing. They are super responsive with any questions and super helpful. Our in-home trainer, Sydney, was so good with Penelope and patient with us humans. :) I also love that we are able to train without treats. We attended our first group class today and it was great. Great way for healthy dog interactions and learning with distractions.
Dog Training Elite is remarkable. I’ve taken several training courses over the years that I’ve had babies, I so wish I had these folks back then. This will let a life time now. Gracie still has a road to travel but much easier to understand. Can’t wait for more training:) Thank you
