About Dog Training Elite St. George

In-home training in St. George

Dog Training Elite St. George is the local Dog Training Elite team, offering in-home obedience training, puppy training, anxiety and aggression work, service dog and therapy dog training, and group classes. Training starts with in-home sessions that involve the whole family, and dogs that master basic commands move on to group classes to practice in busier settings. A free assessment comes first.

Packages and approach

Obedience packages come in three tiers: Platinum (8 one-on-one sessions and 16 group classes, aimed at off-leash control), Gold (5 sessions and 12 group classes) and Silver (3 sessions and 8 group classes, a touch-up for trained dogs), each covering commands such as come, sit, down, heel and place, with an e-collar included. Pricing is by phone. The team describes its methods as balanced and says it incorporates positive reinforcement into all programs. Service dog work covers roles such as mobility assistance, autism support and PTSD service.
