Elite Professional Dog Training exceeded every expectation. From the first conversation, their knowledge, structure, and professionalism stood out. They didn’t just “train” our puppy — they helped us understand behavior, communication, and how to maintain results long-term. The transformation was incredible. Our cane corso “Ransom” is more confident and actually enjoys listening. Commands are reliable, leash manners are night and day, and everyday life is so much easier. You can tell they truly care about the dogs and the families they’re helping! Communication was clear and the entire process felt organized and professional from start to finish. If you’re looking for top-tier, results-driven training with people who genuinely know what they’re doing, this is it. Hands down, elite service and elite results. Highly recommend!!!!

Our puppy Sasha loves to come here for doggy daycare. You are sent photos and videos of the dogs playing together and she is so happy to be dropped off here. She also went through the train and play and is such a good girl for it. Staff are so good with her and she loves them.

I am a proud fur Mom of a 7-year-old standard poodle by the name of Ms. Hunnie. Ms. Hunnie was a show dog since she was 5 months old. Once she retired, I noticed that she still had show dog mentality and was very stubborn, especially if she wasn't being shown by her handler. I love my fur baby and I want to continue to enjoy her. I knew that this transition was new to her as well as to us, and I needed help. I didn't just want anyone to help us with this new transition from being a show dog to a loving, obedient, well-trained dog that we can enjoy inside our home and outside of our home. After doing thorough research, we located Elite Professional Dog Training LLC 5001 North Ronald Reagan Blvd Sanford , Florida 32773. We met with the trainer, Laurent Gabriel, and Josh. We watched the interactions with our fur baby, Ms. Hunnie, and they not only won her over but us as well. We decided on the Boot Camp 4-6 weeks, which meant she had to stay. But I will let you know that was very hard as well; however, the staff kept us updated with an update regularly. They even put up with me calling every single day until I became more comfortable. They also sent videos and pictures of her progress regularly. I know this was a long review, but if you love your fur baby as I do, give them the extra love they need to be happy. Thank you, Elite Professional Dog Training

This is a follow up to the review that I had posted. I posted a review for Elite Dog Training when in fact the owner, Laurent G. brought to my attention that I did not purchase service from him. After pulling my paperwork I found out that he was correct. The company I was referring to was Dog Training Elite North Orlando. Please disregard my comments as they were made in error. I sincerely apologize to Laurent and his staff. I urge everyone to make their own decision about this company as I have no knowledge of Elite Professional Dog Training. Thank you. Sami

The ONLY reason I am giving Elite one star is because 0 stars is not an option! I paid this company $1000 for dog training and I received a list of items to purchase from Amazon, all of which turned out to be wrong for my dog and a list of terms to teach my dogs! That is all I got for $1000. I wound up calling Pennie at Pawtastic for help. This is a highly reputable company and the service I received was phenomenal! She came to the house within days, the training started day 1, they service all the dogs in the house for the same rate and they were a lot cheaper than Elite was. If you are serious about dog training...call Pawtastic!!!

Best experience! Six weeks ago we sent our year and 8 month puppy off to the boot camp program because she had issues with reactive leash walking, learning to settle, and difficulty controlling her anxiety in social settings. Laurent and the entire staff were extremely patient and understanding with us and our pup! I couldn't have asked for a better staff to take care of her and stay in contact with updating everything about her while she was away. They have taken care of us even after completing her boot camp and the entire experience was 100% worth it.

Had my dogs for 10 days for training and boarding (which when I did pick them up after the 10 days, my dog was covered in his own feces). Had them home for 2 days before I was told "they need 3 more days for training" then 3 more days lead to "2 more weeks" then lead to "oh it'll be a day to day training we will let you know when you can pick up your dogs" DO NOT RECOMMEND

my experience I took my dog because he was having social issues. I paid over 1000 $ for my dog Ronin . My dog went for socialize and obedience already knowing how to sit and getting down which I told the lady and she said that he had to be up to school standards . Little by little my dog was disqualified for pick ups then I was told I couldn't take him . only once of week .I was told they couldn't not to take him anymore to the facilities. . all this happened when realize the dog was to much to handle and needed their Most experienced trainer.The next move was make me sign a contract for doggy care instead of the Basic training contract . I send the owner a message and got blocked

100% the best trainer in Florida. Perfect customer service. Absolutely amazing training. there is no need to look anywhere else for training. Elite truly earns their name with an amazing staff and dedication to the industry. They care about every dog as if they are training their own.

My wife and I were expecting and our dog Hank could not figure out how to conduct himself. We had rescued him after the prior owner couldn’t handle his high energy and anxiety. Without Laurent and his team’s help, we were going to be faced with the decision no dog owner has to make. But their work training Hank really was what he needed. We are so grateful for elite pro and would absolutely recommend to anyone questioning if their dog is beyond help, because we were at the point too.

2023-07-24T00:00:00.000Z

Laurent and his staff have taught me show much about dogs that I have never known before. The process of having a puppy as well as training my older dog proves to me how much they love dogs and their dedication to work on them no matter what age or type. Their doggy daycare service is also so fun, my dogs love the word "day camp" and "daycare" because of them!

2023-02-03T00:00:00.000Z

I can't say enough positive things about Laurent and his staff. Everyone was very helpful with the information I needed to navigate having a large breed dog (Doberman) at home with young kids. He was barely 10mos old when I got him, very loving and had so much energy, but definitely needed polishing on some skills. I did the play and train option, where I dropped off and picked him up each day of training. They also have an option to leave your dog there the entire length of the training program. In addition to training, they offer day camps and boarding, which I've used both, and again, great experience with that as well! Having peace of mind knowing your dog is well cared for and trained appropriately for a lifetime of companionship- worth every dime :)

Paul oversaw the training of our 1 year old Goldendoodle Penny, she struggled with barking, pulling when on leash, and overall anxiety. After 6 weeks of boot camp, we went from a dog with little to no manners to a well trained pup! My 10 & 9 year old children can easily take her on a walk and now she respects whoever is holding the leash! I cannot say enough good things about Elite Pro, they were kind, communicative, and made sure everything was smooth from start to finish. A special thanks to Paul and the entire Elite Pro team for training our Penny-Pooch so well, Thank you! Kelvin, Kayla, Judah, Zoey, and Penny Hill 🐾

Upon picking my dog up after her stay, I was absolutely pleased with how Elite professional took care of her. You could tell she enjoyed her time there and she was well groomed. I will definitely be bringing her back!

2021-09-13T16:31:54.000Z

I’m a first time dog owner so leaving my new pup in a doggy day care for the first time was a bit nerve wracking but I was so happy to hear how much fun my Pico had when I picked him back up! His groom was perfect (cavalier King Charles spaniel) and they even gave me some good advice to help with his training after they worked with him. I will definitely be bringing my dog back 🐶

I was nervous letting my baby go for the 6 week boot camp but in the end it was well worth the time and money! This group of trainers and support were awesome. They trained us humans as well and boy did we learn a lot. We are still learning how to be the pack leader but it's finally starting to pay off and we are very grateful! Thank you to everyone at Elite! Much appreciated.

2021-07-10T13:29:18.000Z

We love this place for our dog! We do hate to be away from her but when we have to be, we know she is treated the best here. We love that she gets to play with other dogs while we are gone. She was trained by Laurant from a puppy and our neighbors still talk about how well behaved she is.

2021-07-06T20:49:36.000Z

The staff is very responsible & are wonderful with my two dogs. They take great pride in providing excellent service.

We brought in our rescue Lab mix, Tanner, to Elite Professional to get evaluated due to his fear and aggression. They recommended the 6 week boot camp for environmental training. Tanner was afraid to go for walks. He would react when we would try to put the harness on him. He would go hide and his legs would shake. Other trainers recommend meds along with training and that only made him tired without resolving the issue. Well, after Tanner came home he was a different dog. He absolutely loves his walks now to the point that he runs to the front door waiting for us to take him out. He doesn’t react to joggers , bikes and cars. He can walk past them with no problem. We even had a large loose dog approach us and I was able to keep Tanner under control. He is such a happy dog now. He has gained more confidence and he even bonded with a sweet dog at camp. He didn’t even know how to interact with other dogs before training. He has also learned his basic commands and it’s so nice to have him wait patiently at crosswalks for the cars to pass. I can’t thank Elite Professional enough for a job well done with Tanner. We look forward to the Wednesday classes that will help reinforce what he has learned and will train the owners, too. I also forgot to mention that Tanner is now meds free!

Laurent and his team was excellent. We brought in moose because of how reactive to everything he was. After his 6 week course moose came back a completely different dog. He’s so much more calm and listens to everything. We feel comfortable walking him on the leash now. Can’t express our gratitude for this.

2021-04-01T00:38:55.000Z

We are very pleased! Our 5 mo. German Shepard is coming along beautifully! She is now in the second phase and learning her down positions. I highly recommend this training facility. Paul is her trainer and he is very knowledgeable in his craft of training dogs. on time, responsible and dedicated. Ty again!

2021-03-11T00:25:17.000Z

Laurent and his entire team have been fantastic. We contacted him about our Belgian Malinois puppy and he has guided us and helped us with all of our needs. We did the 6 week puppy training and then the 2 week boot camp. I get compliments on how well behaved my dog is when we are out together. I would highly recommend Elite Professional Dog Training.

2021-02-02T14:54:11.000Z

We had Kingston in a 2 week highly intensive program to learn boundaries and how to pay attention. He is now doing amazing and is traveling across the country as a new pack member with 3 other huskies. The trainers are all great and truly care about each dog.

2020-12-13T00:00:00.000Z

Our rescue dog, Mulligan, was scared of sounds, visitors, nipped at people and spun in circles constantly. We visited behavioral vets for two years and medicated him for anxiety. After six weeks with Laurent's staff, Mulligan is a completely different dog. He follows commands and knows his crate is a safe place. He was unable to walk in our neighborhood because people and cars scared him and he panted the entire time because of stress. Now, he enjoys his daily walks and we do, too! Our family is grateful to Mulligan's favorite trainer, Paul, for taking the time to figure out his personality and to Robin who communicated Mulligan's accomplishments with us via Facebook posts, videos and texts. She responds quickly and professionally to questions. We highly recommend!

2020-10-09T15:53:30.000Z

We are only 2 weeks into our 6 week program for our rescue ,Hope, who was abused and has severe stranger fear/aggression. The difference is her in this short time is amazing. Laurent and his staff are working miracles!!! I highly recommend Elite Professional Dog Training!!!

2020-10-06T16:58:08.000Z

We’re so thankful we were referred to Laurent at Elite Professional Dog Training. Gus made progress beyond our wildest dreams in such a short period of time!

2020-04-15T19:21:45.000Z

We adopted a dog from a rescue that we were told had dog aggression. Turns out she was actually afraid of EVERYTHING: dogs, humans, random/stressful situations, even small children. If she could get away she would just run and hide... otherwise we would bark and growl and lunge which made her miserable to walk and scary to take places. Her behavior was erratic and unpredictable. We went through 2 other trainers and nothing was working. Laurent was recommended to us and we enrolled her in his boot camp.. Within a day at the Kamp she was hanging out with new humans and other doggy Kampers without losing her mind. We just got her back a few days ago and she camp back a CHANGED dog!! She listens around the house and all of her bad habits are POOF gone!! And she is SO MUCH less stressed in general. She's still an anxious dog, just a fundamental part of her personality, BUT the bad behavior is 90% GONE. (It's 100% gone for Laurent but Penny is still getting used to being back home and our authority). Seriously, Laurent is a life changer and I would recommend him to anyone.

2020-04-15T00:13:35.000Z

Professional and knowledgeable. I brought my 4 year old german shepherd and in one visit my dog was already improving with his walking. If I could give higher than five stars I would!

2020-04-08T19:33:45.000Z

They are so professional and caring, after looking at several trainers for my moms GSD Diesel Laurent was the easy choice. So far we are extremely happy with them we can’t wait to get him back home with my elderly mom. Pedro Perez
