I have to say, one of this year’s biggest blessings has been meeting Marie. She came into our lives at a time when we desperately needed help and guidance. Our Izzy girl was facing medical challenges that led to some difficult behavior issues, and we felt lost. Then came Marie…calm, patient, knowledgeable, and exactly what we needed. Fast forward almost a year, and Marie hasn’t just become Izzy’s favorite person… she’s become a dear friend. Her love and dedication to our girl shows in everything she does. Marie stood by Izzy through it all, behavioral struggles, the cancer diagnosis, the fear before surgery, the recovery afterward. She came to visit before the amputation, after the amputation, and she has made the effort to come see Izzy almost every week since, showering her with love, gifts, kisses, and encouragement. How many trainers do that? Not many. But that’s Marie, just an amazing human who quickly became more than a trainer. She became family. She became Izzy’s biggest cheerleader. What makes Marie truly special is not just her training expertise, it’s her heart. You can see immediately that this isn’t just a job for her. It’s who she is. And that’s exactly the kind of person you want caring for your fur babies. Thank you Marie and thank you Dog Training Elite Broward. You have truly made a difference in our lives and home. More...

We couldn’t be more thrilled with Marie at Dog Training Elite! She has done an incredible job with our Dante, who is just 5 months old. From the very start, Marie has been exceptional at creating a solid foundation for him—not just in obedience but also in helping us as owners feel confident and informed. Every question we’ve had, no matter how small, she has answered with so much care and expertise. Marie’s love and dedication to dogs and her craft shine through in everything she does. Dante adores her, and so do we! It’s clear that she’s passionate about helping dogs and their families thrive, and we feel so lucky to have her guiding us through this journey. Thank you, Marie, for your hard work, patience, and the love you’ve shown to Dante! You’re truly the best! ♥️ More...

Ok, look no further! This is by far the best dog training school in Florida! It's called ELITE because that is how they work! Marie and Gus are extremely professional and knowledgeable, and they truly care for your pets, using the best methods to ensure no harm comes to your furry babies. I can confirm that their methods really work, as one of my dogs went through a lot of trauma. They gave her life back, and she is soon to be on her best behavior. Thank you, Marie, for being such an amazing coach and fun to work with! You are a blessing to our family. Sophye Nolet, Margate, Florida More...

Just amazing how fast it can be to turn an undisciplined dog into an angel! I couldn't believe it if I had not seen how they have been able to train Pedro respectfully and smoothly. It has changed my life, I can now walk him around without fearing a fight with other dogs or overreaction to humans, we can have fun together with peace of mind. Pedro is happier and so am I. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do for rash (my daughter suffers from psoriasis) and will for sure hire them again! More...

This place is amazing! I cannot say enough amazing things about Nick, he was amazing with my little asshole of a dog named Bill Murray. I thought there was no hope for Bill, he hates all other furry creatures that walk this earth. He literally tries to attack every dog he sees, walking him is impossible. Bill Murray also likes to take spiteful pees and poos in our house when we leave him alone, RUDE. We have tried so many other techniques that were advised to us and nothing worked. I had to tell Bill on a daily basis that he's lucky he's cute....After taking him to DTE, we now can take Bill Murray on walks without the worry of seeing other dogs/cats/squirrels/bunnies, its phenomenal. I no longer have the underlying panic of "oh shit there's another dog." He also does his personal business outside and ONLY outside! Our house smells so much better. I cannot thank this place and Nick enough, and Bill Murray says hi! More...

Omg.....I'm in tears because I thought my dog would never get along with other dogs or stop barking! What can I say about Dog Training Elite SW Las Vegas . ....Nick is the freaking atomic bomb! My pitbull, Damian, was a nightmare on the leash, aggressive towards other dogs and barked at a fart in the wind. It got to the point that our neighbors would see us coming and turn and go the other way. We couldn't take him anywhere. Now it's totally different. After training with Nick, we frequently take Damian out to eat, on walks downtown main street, and to Home Depot. When I stop walking, he sits next to me. We get compliments from people on his good behavior every time. Our friends and neighbors are amazed at the progress our dog has made. Even though we are leaving where Nick left off, he has set a much needed foundation. I definitely would recommend Nick at Dog Training Elite SW Las Vegas over and over. More...

The staff is thorough and patient. Rocket, my I'll tempered Pomeranian usually starts his visit to a new place by finding the nicest piece of furniture to mark. He likes to follow that feat up with biting or barking at the first new face in the room. The staff at Elite Southwest calmly observed his naughty behavior during assessment and quickly came up with a training plan. Rocket started as a flunky in the course but now easily has a passing grade! I don't feel that he has to be in his puppy stroller everywhere we go. He is getting more exercise and now I feel comfortable out and about. Great service! More...

Highly recommend DTE!! Nick was very kind and patient with our high-energy puppy, Niko. We hired him to work on basic obedience skills. Both in-home training sessions and group classes were fun for our entire family. You'll love Nick - your dog will too!!! More...

What do you love most about your job?
We love to see how bringing obedience or solving issues with their dog can change people 's life: they can at last LIVE with their dog.
This is the best reward.
Why should our clients choose you?
We provide comprehensive, generous support to our clients and balanced, sustainable dog training to every dog we work with. We genuinely love what they do and aim to build a community for our clients that love their dogs just as much as we do. Once you begin the training process with us, you become a part of the Dog Training Elite family.
Our values are reflected in the work we do with The Malinois Foundation to provide service animals for those in need. We strongly believe in the healing power and helping benefits a service dog has for those with mental or physical disabilities/ disorders as well as the elevated love and joy that the companionship of a dog can bring into the lives of individuals and families in general.
We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.
