Testimonials
“I have had three lessons with David so far, and the change in my dog is nothing short of amazing! I love having a well-trained dog. David is very knowledgeable about dog training and very personable to work with! It is an awesome experience!”
– Marjorie F.
“We are so thankful to find KC elite dog training. We wish we would have found them over a year ago when we started trying to train our two 2-year-old labs. We used a different company at that was recommended by a friend. I’m telling you now – don’t use any other company but KC Elite Dog training. It’s worth the money. You aren’t pushed to learn everything in three sessions like other dog training companies. Tonight was our second visit and we are already walking without a leash. Both of our dogs use to pull us on walk and go after people and dogs. Now they walk right beside us, and we have full control over them! Thank you, KC Elite Dog training, for making our walks enjoyable now!”
– Janie J.
“David was a miracle worker. My wife was ready to get rid of our obnoxious new dog. David showed up and was immediately getting Lana to respond to commands on the first visit. At the end of each visit he would provide us with homework instructions to keep challenging the dog and us. By the end of our training visits, we had a completely different dog. Our house is more relaxed, there is no more yelling, and she listens. We are super excited that we no longer have to keep Lana leashed up and we can take her places with confidence that we have control. I would highly recommend David for any training needs.”
– Dan S.
