We cannot express enough how this training changed our dog Mickey for the better. Mickey had no confidence before the in facility training classes. He enjoys learning and he is so happy since his confidence has soared. Every one of the trainers were so knowledgeable and knew exactly how to read Mickey and knew what he needed to respond to commands. It was amazing from day one to see the transformation in our dog. He shows a calmness now yet a readiness to please. He does not jump on company any longer when they arrive. It is such a pleasure to take him on walks as he is attentive and enjoys hearing the command to heel. We thought that was enough in itself but the other commands that were taught such as sit, down, place and off have become second nature to him in such a very short time. Kevin has come to our home for in home training and has helped tweak a few commands this was a tremendous help. Since the training also helps us as owners/trainers we have been able to even do some fun tricks with Mickey such as spin, reverse, high five just to name a few just because he loves to keep learning. Another major change, Mickey never goes on our new furniture any longer when we are not at home once we commanded him off, along with the help of the E Collar this was a fast turn around. We are so pleased with the whole program and tell everyone we know about it as they have seen Mickeys positive changes.
I can’t express enough gratitude to the incredible staff at Dog Training Elite for their exceptional program and support in training my boxer puppy. From the moment we started, it was clear that every trainer is highly skilled and genuinely passionate about dogs. Their expertise and love for every dog shine through in every interaction. DTE not only focuses on training our furry friends but also empowers dog owners to become confident and effective handlers. As someone who had a profound fear of dogs, I can’t emphasize enough how DTE has transformed my life. The staff has no idea how they’ve helped me overcome my irrational fear of dogs—phobias often stem from past experiences or anxieties—and in doing so, they’ve opened up a world of joy and love for these amazing creatures. I’ve finally experienced what true, unconditional, and non-judgmental love feels like, thanks to my journey with DTE. They have laid a solid foundation for my puppy to become a well-mannered and classy dog, and I truly believe that any dog, at any stage, can be transformed with their guidance. If you’re looking for a place to train your dog, look no further! DTE is a group of incredible trainers who will change not only your dog but you as well. They also offer continual training throughout your dog’s life, ensuring a lasting bond and skill set. Every dog we have in the future will undoubtedly be a student of Dog Training Elite. Thank you for everything! We look forward to returning to training after Mocha’s heat cycle 🔥
Elite in North Olmstead is FANTASTIC! We now have well behaved 9 month old pug sisters who actually sit, come and stay in place! I was impressed from the start, with the detailed, thoughtful approach to our orientation, sign up and start of class. The trainers were fantastic because they explained Rosie and Frankie's behavior - broke down the why's - and taught us right along with the girls. My confidence grew with each week, despite the unexpected distractions of life (including a trip to the hospital). I was impressed with the way this group worked as a team and really cared about my furry family members. Our girls went into heat in the middle of their two week plan, and Josh called us at work so we could be prepared and assured us we would pick right back up when they finished. Sure enough! The cost is well work it. My expectations were far exceeded. These trainers know dogs, they know how to train dogs, and teach the humans as well! Pugs are for stubbornness. This is pug 7 and 8 for us, and for the first time I'm walking well-behaved dogs outside! The girls are leaving things alone, sitting when told and seem to have a certain calmness and confidence since class. These folks know what they are doing and they do it in the most professional, compassionate way!
I honestly can’t express enough gratitude toward the whole staff for their knowledge and dedication to training dogs. My pup is very energetic and they were able to relocate that energy into training and away from destructive behaviors. I actually feel confident taking him to family events or in public now because he listens so well. We did the two week in facility training and finished our 3 follow ups, and he’s developed so much confidence. If you’re looking to strengthen your relationship with your dog I would say without a doubt you should go to Dog Training Elite Greater Cleveland. They are compassionate, highly knowledgeable trainers and we couldn’t be more happy with the outcome.
We first enlisted help from Dog Training Elite last November, about two months after we adopted Oswald. He was extremely scared, undisciplined and reactive around other dogs. And with his large size, we knew we needed help. We chose the day camp training program to help get Oswald (and us!) the training that was badly needed. Josh’s expertise is what drove me to choose Dog Training Elite, and he and his team of trainers deeply care about the dogs and want to see you succeed. And having the continued support of Josh and his team has been invaluable. We have drop-in sessions, home sessions and weekly group training available to us, which have also been of great help. With training and time, Oswald is now a relaxed, well-behaved dog — who can now just be a dog! Friends and family who saw how Oswald behaved when we first adopted him compared to now, always comment on what a good dog he is. Dog Training Elite was recommended to us, and we would recommend them to other dog owners 100% of the time.
