Testimonials

We have been very happy with both the daycare and boarding at Elite Training. Ivan is knowledgeable about dog behavior, understanding of dogs at different stages of their development, and clearly a lover of dogs! Our dog has been able to be successful in daycare due to Ivan’s schedule throughout the day which provides structure, as well as the supervision of play and interaction. Our dog can’t wait to get there in the morning and whines in the car when we leave…that says it all!

Since working with Ivan, our Corgi puppy has progressed way beyond our expectations. The puppy arrived with aggression issues. Ivan knew immediately how to work with him and after a few weeks the aggression is gone. Ivan is intuitive and thoughtful with his training. His staff is very supportive and accommodating. I can’t say enough about Elite Training.

We can’t say enough good things about Elite Training! We sent our two golden retrievers (4 year old and 8 month old) for a board and train program, and the results exceeded our expectations. Throughout their stay, we received multiple training videos that kept us updated on their progress, as well as detailed report cards twice a week. It was so reassuring to see how well they were cared for by the team and how much progress they were making!

The follow-up in-home training sessions with Ivan have been fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in ensuring we understand how to maintain training at home. Our boys came back not only happier but so much better behaved. We’re amazed at how well they listen now, even in distracting environments.

Elite Training truly goes above and beyond. Their professionalism, communication, and genuine care for our dogs made all the difference. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality training!
