Private Lessons
Private lessons are the perfect way to get customized and individualized help. In private lessons we are able to go over every level of obedience, behavior modification, and advanced training. Every dog is different so we provide a wide range of location options for example; in the dogs natural home environment, at a park or dog park, or an indoor public facility such as Home Depot.
-The home is a great place to work on puppy behaviors, house manners, separation anxiety, beginner obedience, etc.
-Parks or dog parks are great places to work on socialization, behavior modification with other dogs, intermediate to advanced obedience, using distractions to strengthen training, overcoming fear of bikes or skateboards, etc.
-Home depots are great for things like overcoming fear of men and all other behaviors mentioned in an air conditioned environment. -Private lessons are necessary for behavior modification on things like separation anxiety, aggression, over excitement, fear, dominance, possessiveness, territorial behavior, resource guarding, etc.
-Private lessons are also a way to learn fun advanced/specialty training.

Specialty Training
All training is a bonding experience and both fun for you and your dog, but specialty training takes things to the next level! Specialty training is successful when you have a solid and strong foundation of obedience with your dog so that they listen to your every signal. It is rewarding in many ways! You connect with your dog on a deeper level than ever but. it can also completely change your life for the better by offering life saving behaviors like service dog work and protection. It is good for dogs and owners mental and physical health to get active together and have fun.
-Tricks and games (Shake, high five, play dead, roll over, spin, speak, fetch an object, sit pretty, crawl, etc.)
-Service Dog Tasks (Advanced levels of obedience, trained retrieve of items, opening and closing doors and cabinets, helping you take things off like socks or a jacket, turning off light switches, pulling a wheelchair, etc.)
-Therapy work (Dog Training Elite Austin therapy dogs are highly trained to have a positive impact on the health and well being of both individuals and the community. Therapy dog training allows dogs to go into facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, group homes, and many other community health settings. They can work alongside community volunteers, psychologists, physical therapists, guidance counselors, and recreational therapists to improve the quality of life in varying communities and facilities.
-Canine Good Citizen Certificate training (The CGC certificate was created by the AKC (American Kennel Club) and is obtained by your dog passing a test of different obedience commands, being able to be social with humans and other dogs, and not having separation anxiety. Having the certificate comes with many benefits for example; If you are somewhere where there are breed restrictions they will wave the restriction for your dog if it has its CGC, Hotels will wave the pet fee, sometimes apartments will wave the pet deposit, and it is the next step before things like therapy and service work)
-Agility (A fun sport for active dogs, competing is an option)
-Nose work (An awesome game where you use your dogs natural instincts to sniff out certain things such as a specific essential oil scent which can be on a rag and hidden in different areas of the house)
-Tracking (Your dog is tracking a specific trail on the ground. This is usually done outside and commonly used for hunting.
-Search and Rescue (Similar to tracking but there is also extra training involved to teach the dog how to alert you that it found someone and even be able to do things like drag them out of water.)
-Protection (Teaching your dog how to be confident and bark on the end of its leash or even bite and release incase of a emergency where you need protection. Advanced level of obedience required )
