About Dog Training Elite Madison

A franchise program with in-home and facility options

Dog Training Elite Madison is the Madison arm of a national brand, reachable on a Madison number, with the location page listing an address at 2000 W. Bender Road in Glendale and the note "We offer in Home & Facility Training Options." The about page leads with in-home work: "With our in-home dog training in Madison, WI, you can rest assured your dog receives the most effective training possible."

The program list

Six programs are named, each with its own description. Obedience Training "is designed to teach essential commands and reinforce good behavior, ensuring your dog is well-mannered in any situation." Puppy Training "builds a strong bond between you and your new puppy by focusing on early socialization, basic commands, and good behavior." Service Dog Training "turns dogs into dependable companions, trained to perform tasks like retrieving items, providing stability, or alerting to medical conditions." Anxiety & Aggression "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." Group Training classes "offer a structured environment where dogs can learn and practice essential skills while socializing with other dogs and their owners."

What the training covers

A behavior list runs alongside the programs: "Leash Walking & Heel Training, Barking Issues, Aggression & Reactivity, Separation Anxiety, Jumping & Hyperactivity, Sitting & Stay Commands, Destructive Chewing & Digging, Recall Training (Come When Called), Boundary Training (Off Furniture or Beds), Vehicle Behavior, Training for Specific Tasks." A separate Behavior Solutions menu adds socialization, biting, fear and reactiveness, excessive barking, potty training and chewing.

Positioning

The about page states the experience claim as "At DTE, we bring over 45 years of proven experience to every training session," describes the company as "Founded by a dedicated family of dog owners," and says "We focus on teaching dogs to perform at their best, even amidst the toughest distractions" while maintaining "the highest industry standards for training service dogs, therapy dogs, and family pets." Intake is a free assessment, and a Pricing page is published on the site.

A note on the team block

The Madison page's team block shows one person, Mary Stallmann, whose title on that block reads "Owner & Trainer – DTE Milwaukee," with a background described as ten years as a middle school teacher and twenty as an administrator before moving into dog training. Because the title names the Milwaukee location, ask who owns the Madison territory.
