About Dog Training Elite Kenosha & Racine

About

Dog Training Elite Kenosha & Racine describes itself as an award-winning dog training operation covering both cities, and says its service dog work is "Built on 40+ years of experience." Its stated belief is that "sustained obedience comes from empowering owners and their dogs to build strong, lasting bonds through training," and it says it works "with dogs of any breed, size or age – and we empower owners with lifelong skills to continue successes."

Programs

The site's own program list runs to Obedience Training, Puppy Training, Service Dog Training, Anxiety & Aggression, Therapy Dog Training and Group Classes. Obedience training "utilizes proven, balanced methods to ensure your dog is well behaved." Puppy training "builds a strong bond between you and your new puppy by focusing on early socialization, basic commands" and housetraining. The anxiety and aggression program "targets and corrects behaviors driven by anxiety and aggression, helping your dog stay calm and well-behaved in challenging situations." Therapy dog training "equips dogs with the skills needed to provide comfort and emotional support in various settings."

How training is delivered

The site says it offers "in-home dog training, basic obedience, advanced training, and specialized programs like Service Animals and Therapy Dogs," and explains the sequence: "With in-home sessions, we involve all family members to address behaviors specific to your dog's environment. After mastering basic commands, dogs can advance to group classes to practice their skills in more dynamic settings." A camp option is described for dogs "needing focused training" and "Perfect for complex behavioral issues," with "personalized one-on-one sessions."

Packages

Obedience packages are published by tier. The top tier includes "8 one-on-one sessions" plus "24 group classes," "Elite testing" and "Specialty task preparation," and is aimed at "Control over reactivity, aggression and anxiety." A middle tier includes "6 one-on-one sessions" and "16 group classes," and a refinement tier for "well trained dogs who have previously been through training" includes "4 one-on-one sessions" and "8 group classes." For service and therapy dogs the site offers "free consultations to evaluate your dog's temperament and potential," and says it can "assist with puppy selection through a litter visit." Behavior solutions listed separately include socialization, biting, fear and reactiveness, separation anxiety, excessive barking, recall and potty training. A free assessment is the stated starting point.
