Dog Training Elite

A Simple, Low-Cost Entry Into The Booming Pet Care Industry

Dog Training Elite is a dog training company with over 40 years of experience, specializing in teaching dogs the highest level of obedience, despite even the toughest level of distractions.

Our unique, home-based approach allows clients and their dogs a level of convenience and familiarity that can lead to greater consistency and stronger results. Franchise Owners use their own dogs as models for training techniques during sessions- meaning they get to work with their best friend every day!

What We Do

Our Trainers use a proven training method developed by our Founder, professional competitive dog trainer John Mestas. This proprietary method, which incorporates positive reinforcement tactics with gentle redirection techniques, serves as a basis to create personalized programs for dogs and their owners, all in a convenient, in-home setting.

Franchise Owners can act as Trainers and facilitate sessions with clients in their homes, using their own dogs as examples for training techniques and expected behaviors.

Why Franchise Owners Love Dog Training Elite:

Your Dog is Your Co-Founder – You know your dog is amazing. Now's your chance to show the world! When you're a Trainer, your dog becomes the star of your one-person show, as a model for proper training techniques as well as a major influencer for new sales.

Low Investment – Dog Training Elite is a home-based business, which means there is no need for a brick-and-mortar facility. This, plus the limited staffing requirements, makes for an extremely low initial investment.

Multiple Revenue Streams – Our 7 different training programs and group training options provide multiple revenue streams to our Franchise Owners for added security and the potential for higher ROI.

Personal Fulfilment – Working with dogs and their owners to build a solid foundation for communication and strengthen the bond between them is a highly rewarding experience.

Community Involvement – Our Franchise Owners strive to make a difference in the lives of dogs and the families who love them. In addition to giving back to the communities we serve, we have created our own non-profit organization, the Malinois Foundation, which promotes healing through canine assistance.

Lifestyle-Friendly Business – The Dog Training Elite opportunity is ideal for people who seek a career that offers them a little more time to spend with family, or extra time to concentrate on growing their business.
