What Our Clients Say
Ann Marie2024-05-02I spent a long time looking for the right training for my Belgian MALINOIS puppy and I have to say, it wasn't easy. Luckily, I found this dog school that offers a wide range of options. I traveled more than 6 hours and rented an Airbnb for 5 weeks to send my puppy to this school and I have no regrets. The cost and the entire effort were worth it! Rose is just 5 months old and has received an amazingly good foundation for the rest of her life. She listens to the usual commands and remains calm and relaxed in various scenarios. She already accompanies me on trips, to busy city centers, on buses and trains and restaurants and is already a perfect companion for my lifestyle. All staff members are very friendly and supportive and they answered my questions in a professional way. I got also educated and refined how to handle my dog in the future. I will definitely return back for further education for my dog and me. Thank you!Peyton Ryan2024-04-19Awesome place, super friendly, and always putting the dogs first. Couldn’t be happier!Thunder King2024-04-10Absolutely amazing trainer. I have been to a dozen trainers and none have even come close to comparing with Laurent and Elite!!! Their entire staff truly cares about your animal and their well being. They aren’t pushing cattle through. Your dog will be trained professionally. This can’t be said about most other trainers. My breeder got on a conference call with Laurent so we could all discuss the bloodline of my dog because of the crucially specific training he needed to get a solid foundation. Laurent took the time to understand the bloodlines behavioral characteristics in order to meet the high demand of my dogs training. My breeder, who has been in business since the mid 60’s was amazed I found such a good trainer. He told me I found a gem and he feels 100% confident in his abilities and he hasn’t spoken with a trainer he felt confident with in years. He was absolutely correct because the training was perfect. Follow up and care about my family and the dog was amazing. Do not look for any other training facilities for your dog. Elite is the ONLY place to go.Jamie Danley2024-04-05Laurent and Josh were wonderful with our 11 year old lab mix. Very knowledgeable and experienced and love animals. The staff were always friendly and demonstrated a genuine love and concern for our dog. We were expecting a new puppy in our family and wanted to ensure our adult dog was well socialized before then. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Thank you!Sara Fisher Partch2024-03-09Our dog is Smart as heck but stubborn/heardheaded/freethinker. Laurent and his team have been able to teach us to work together. Due to her breed and natural instincts she may never be the dog I was prepared to have but this team helped me have realistic goals and expectations for successes. We will continue to go to the group training classes to keep up our new skills. Training a dog is not one and done. It’s a daily job for the life of your relationship with your pet. Put in the work with this team and you will get the reward. Thank you Elite Team.Amanda Sanabia2023-12-28I've NEVER left a review for anything anywhere...but this is long overdue: If you want your dog to be physically, mentally, and emotionally stimulated - AND all around taken care of in the best way - take your dog to Elite Professional Dog Training in Sanford! Laurent (the head trainer there) and his team do a remarkable job handling all types of dogs as well as listen to your requests/your dog's needs. I have a 110lb male german shepherd who has boarded there for weeks at a time over the last 4 years: when he was one year old AND IN-TACT, as well as over the last 3 years since he's been neutered. Background: my dog is a classic loud/hyper (but very lovey) german shepherd that requires the right environment to thrive - probably because he grew up at home during COVID and missed that main socialization period around 6months - otherwise he can be leash/dog (and occasionally people) aggressive. When I found out that he not only had ZERO issues with people or dogs there, AND walked ON LEASH WITH OTHER DOGS, I knew I'd never board him or take him to daycare anywhere else **and the pricing is SO reasonable, side note, I am currently in veterinary school and have very little money, but the money I do have goes to my animals of course** I am truly one of the most high maintenance / anxious people about my dog's wellbeing because he is my life (as he should be), but Laurent and his team at Elite Professional Dog Training can handle anything you bring to them, as long as you allow them your TRUST AND RESPECT. They know their stuff. Example: I am exceptionally cautious about GDV (bloat) when it comes to my dog... So, when I board my dog, that is my top concern (aside from enough exercise and human contact/love). The team at Elite Professional Dog Training not only reassured me they manage common issues like bloat in pre-disposed breeds like GSD's, but also validated my concern for my dog, which naturally made me feel very at ease because I truly believe that the ENTIRE staff will take care of my dog as if it were their own. Would rate 1400/1400 stars if I could :)Harry Gordon2023-11-22We visit weekly for doggie day care for our two hounds. They get excited when we tell them: "Let's go to school." they love it!K Smith2023-11-22Staff at Elite Pro are amazing, and our dog loves doggy daycare. We also enjoy the continued training sessions we are able to attend after the Play and Train program we utilized.Diana Cancel2023-11-17Everyone at Elite Professional Dog Training is wonderful and very knowledgeable. In only a week I was able to start walking my dog, whereas, prior to beginning the training, we could not walk her as she would practically drag us behind her. After almost two weeks, the changes in her are very noticeable, she is less excitable and fearful. I would recommend Elite to anyone who needs training for their pup.Krystal Pulido2023-11-03My dog and I both love this place. The entire staff is extremely professional, kind and accommodating. I have used their boarding and they were so sweet to my 6 month old puppy. I have also worked with Laurent for one on one training and he is an expert in dog behavior. We are currently doing training and I am so thankful for his help. I highly recommend Elite professional dog training and day campGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 35 reviews
