    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite. They were absolutely wonderful with my Great Dane, Tallulah, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The training process itself was very easy to follow and incredibly effective. When we consistently put in the work and practiced at home like they recommended, it truly made a world of difference. The structure they provide makes it simple to stay on track, and you can see real progress quickly when you stay committed. Our trainer, Katy, was outstanding. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. We completed 10 one-on-one sessions together, both in my home and in several public locations, which was exactly the kind of real-world training I wanted for Tallulah. Katy was patient, encouraging, and great at explaining not just what to do, but why it works. She made the entire process feel manageable and positive for both me and my dog. We’ve also participated in group classes, which have been a great addition to Tallulah’s training. I plan to continue doing them to keep her skills sharp and up to date. It’s been reassuring to have ongoing support and a training program that grows with your dog. If you’re willing to put in the time and stay consistent, Dog Training Elite gives you all the tools you need to be successful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, effective, and personalized dog training.

    As a cat owner, I haven’t used Dog Training Elite myself, but I frequently dog-sit one of their graduates and I’m so impressed! The dog is calm, responsive, and a joy to handle and be around - true proof of top-notch training. Highly recommend Darren and his team to anyone with a dog!

    We had the pleasure of working with Darren and I can proudly give this business 5 stars. He was knowledgeable, kind and you can see how passionate he is about what he does. When I thought about how I wanted my first dog to be trained this was it! Every week Darren stayed in constant communication to make sure I didn’t have any questions and to check on Macaroni. We are so thankful so have gotten the opportunity to work with Dog Training Elite.
