    Trainer Laydon came to my home, was amazing with my cane corso, training was informative and very steady I never felt rushed. You can tell she loves her job and I look forward to more sessions. Thank you Laydon!

    Tiffany did an amazing job taking her time to know boss and explain all the obedience training that will help him. We tried instant crate training to access where boss is at and what we need to do to continue to make him a better dog. He jumped a lot when Tiffany came and she started redirecting that energy.

    Tiffany was incredible during our initial meeting- she was very expreienced, patient, kind, and listened well. We felt very heard, validated, and hopeful for our four-legged friend to become her most happy and calm self! Laydon has been an incredible dog trainer! Her knowledge, patience, advice, care and help has helped Tilly so much, and us "humans" now have the tools to better understand and train our dog. An absolutely astounding company!

    Tiffany is an outstanding trainer, she listened to our concerns, addressed them. Tiffany asked many questions about our dog Tyson before she even started the training session. Tiffany worked with Tyson and us to resolve concerns in a positive, friendly manner. I look forward to working with Tiffany again!

    We appreciate the experience with Elite Dog Training. We worked extensively with Matt who always gave constructive feedback and provided guidance for me and my dog throughout each session. At the end of each session, Matt provided us with tips and “homework” to practice prior to our next session. This was helpful and held us accountable to try everything we could to ensure our dog was successful. I highly recommend Elite Dog Training for anyone who needs a confidence boost when setting appropriate boundaries with their dog!

    Our dog Atlas has been reactive ever since he hit 8 months old. We couldn’t take him to group classes anymore because of his dog reactivity and we gave up on training in any sort of group environment. We were drawn to dog training elite because of the one on one sessions it offered. We signed up in the hopes that we could get Atlas a little more under control as we also had a newborn in the house. They did not disappoint, the variety of trainers we saw were all very knowledgeable and helpful in different ways. After our first few one on one sessions, we were encouraged to join a group class. I was extremely hesitant to take atlas because I was afraid of him reacting. But, Our first group class went so well and I was shocked. He had an initial reaction but our trainer Marcus took over for us and corrected him. After that, not a single reaction the rest of the hour. The second group class went even better. No reactions whatsoever, the trainer didn’t even need to step in. Atlas is so much more well behaved now that he is well trained. I know new dogs, people, and situations still make him anxious. But now he is able to take these things in stride and choose to react in a better way. If you’re on the fence about this training I would recommend it to anyone struggling with a reactive dog. The picture is of atlas at a group class In Home Depot. Before training he never would have been able to sit still while other dogs were around.

    Tiffany once again did a great job. She went through the training documentation, explained everything and answered my questions. We got the e-collar on and worked on some commands with that. She followed up thru email with suggestions of things that could help. My dog Pumpkin likes and trusts her. As do I. LuAnn Smith

    I’ve had several trainers work with us and what’s nice is the different ideas and methods each has.Tiffany’s approach was refreshing and had me thinking differently. We are going to try some new things this week and maybe my dog will respond more positively with this different approach.

    Truly Exceptional Training Experience We have been working with Dog Training Elite since Tully (Tallulah) was a puppy, starting with their puppy sessions and continuing through adult sessions to prepare for the Public Access Test. We just completed our final adult lesson before the test, and I truly believe this is the best training program available. We trained in different locations, which was perfect for exposing Tully to new environments. Every trainer we worked with had different tricks up their sleeve for all kinds of behaviors. No matter what challenge came up, someone on the team had a helpful strategy ready to go. We worked mostly with Matt K and Tiffany for individual lessons, and they have been incredible. Their guidance, patience, and ability to clearly explain things made each session effective and enjoyable. The group classes at Boston Common are also one of our favorite parts. Tully has made so much progress in that setting, and we always walk away with something new and valuable. A huge thank you to Marcus as well. Anytime I felt overwhelmed or unsure about Tully’s behavior, I sent an email to the team, and Marcus always responded with thoughtful, detailed advice. His ongoing support between sessions has been incredibly reassuring and helpful. Thanks to Dog Training Elite, people constantly compliment how well-behaved Tully is. We’ve learned so much and built a solid foundation that we’re now carrying into task training for service work. If you’re looking for a training program that truly works and a team that genuinely cares about your dog’s success, this is it. I’ve looked into other programs, and I would recommend Dog Training Elite over any of them. They are hands down the best for all kinds of training needs.

    We’ve been training our American Bully, Blue “Bun”, with Richard and Matt and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very first session, it was clear that they truly understand dogs and love what they do. Blue is always excited to work with them, and it’s amazing to see how much she enjoys the learning process. The course has been absolutely awesome, not only is Blue progressing with each session, but we’re also learning so much as owners. Richard and Matt explain everything clearly, are incredibly patient, and tailor their approach to meet our dog’s unique personality and needs. We feel more confident, connected, and in sync with our pup thanks to their guidance. Highly recommend their training — it’s a game-changer for both dogs and their humans! 🐾

    Haven't even started training yet but she was very helpful, she answered every question we had, she explained the ecollar usage and how it's not used to be harmful, and she took us through the whole process, and even helped me figure out a different payment plan. She was very respectful in our home and our doggy loved her! he could not stop sniffing the other dogs on her 🤣 can't wait to start classes 😁
