Testimonials
Laurent and his team at Elite are the BEST!!! Over the past 3 years, I have taken my 2 giant schnauzers to train with Laurent. With both dogs being 100+ lbs, it was critical that they (and us as the parents) were well trained and could handle and be comfortable in any situation/environment.
In 2021, I took Ellie when she was 10 months old for the Doggy Boot Camp. She trained (and stayed) at the facility for 6 weeks, and came home a different dog, with manners and understanding of what was expected of her. The home training provided at the end of the program was critical to our success of following thru with training at home. She continues to go to Doggy Day Care a few times a week and is a happy well-rounded girl.
In November 2023, we adopted 1.5 year old Bentley (who had some previous training), but appeared aggressive towards individuals upon first meeting. I RAN to Elite for a consult, and ultimately enrolled in the 4-week Train and Play program. Bentley goes everyday (M – F) for training and socialization with other pups. He is such a smart boy, and really wants to please with whatever you ask him to do. The training isn’t over yet, but the results and feedback that we get from Elite each week are phenomenal!
I can’t recommend the Elite program(s) enough! They are experts at what they do, really dig in to understand your fur baby (and you as their human), and then BAM….make the magic happen!

Nothing makes Charlie happier than coming to day camp here. She runs, plays, has fun with water and her friends. The report card and pictures at the end of the day are a big bonus. She comes regularly.

I can’t say enough good things about Elite Professional Dog Training. They truly transformed our walks with Teddy (Our stubborn adorable 4 year old Frenchie), who was very dog reactive. From the first session, Laurent and Josh’s expertise and understanding of dog behavior shone through. They tailored the training specifically for Teddy, addressing his issues with patience and effective techniques.
What I really appreciated were the regular updates and videos. It was great to see Teddy’s progress in real time–both the good moments and the challenging ones. This transparency helped us understand the training process and made us feel more involved.
Now, our walks are a joy! Teddy is much more relaxed and obedient, responding well to commands and staying focused. It’s incredible to see the progress he’s made.
If you’re looking for a reliable and effective training service, I highly recommend Elite Professional. They not only took care of Teddy’s reactiveness but also enriched our bond with him. Thank you Elite Professional Dog Training for everything!
