Elite helped us gain control of our lives again! We came to Elite with our dog-reactive pitt, Athena. John helped us capitalize on Athena’s deep desire to please and, under his guidance, we made significant progress with her in our 5 weeks of classes. As an added plus - Athena loved John and had loads of fun. We still have a lot of work to do, but for the first time we feel hopeful and energized about our training journey. Money well spent!

Dog Training Elite Albuquerque was wonderful training me and my now service dog. The trainers helped me learn to be a good handler and teammate with my dog. All the trainers were patient, knowledgeable and compassionate with me and my dog. I especially value the fact that they understand that service dogs are still dogs who need love and kindness. Kayla brought fun and enthusiasm to our training sessions. The one on one sessions gave us time to focus on what my dog needed, and the group sessions helped Cooper practice being 'just a dog', hanging out in the park with other babies and their people. I highly recommend DTE for all canine training needs.
Another important reason I love DTE: I had approached other service dog programs to train my Cooper, but they said that he was "too old" for that. (He was 7 and 8 when I asked). Dog Training Elite didn't automatically turn him down. They considered his breed (Sheltie) and its longer life span and they assessed his demeanor and temperament (he's calm, patient and attached to me the way a service dog needs to be) for suitability as a service dog. DTE said he was "halfway there on his own" and seemed to be a good candidate to train and refine skills as a service dog. Guess you can teach an "old" dog new tricks after all--if you have the right trainers.

What a fantastic company. Kayla D is absolutely phenomenal. She began helping me train Ranger, (a mind of his own, Golden Doodle)
about nine or 10 months ago. Ranger has passed his access test, can now go with me into restaurants and act civilized, fly on planes with me, (he has 4 round-trips logged), and he has just learned to be a quality pet. His job is Deep Pressure Therapy used for my anger, ptsd. He is continuously working on that. Kayla D has been instrumental in shaping my new friend. She herself has become a friend. If your looking to train your pet for service or if you just want a well behaved pet, I could not recommend DTE and Kayla more!
