We worked with Ryan for our in home sessions with our two Malamutes! One malamute is 4 years old…read moreand the other is 10 months old. Ryan was awesome to work with! We've had a great experience and seen major changes in the behavior of both our dogs. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They were always on time, professional, and eager to answer any questions! We work at least 15 minutes a day with our dogs on their training. Some weeks are better than others, but it's surprising how fast they picked everything up! The only issue that we've run into is that the dog collars are very inconsistent when it comes to having a thick coat like our malamutes have. We switched to longer prongs and have ordered some winged tipped prongs to see if it can make better contact with their skin. A lot of the frustration we had with our dogs behavior has completely disappeared. We can't wait to continue working with them at group classes.

He pulled so hard that one time he pulled me down, and I broke my elbow. Not good! Other than those issues, he's a great dog! Just needed some behavioral help. Champie had 2 prior trainers before Evan came into our home and our lives. Evan worked magic with Champie and with me! He was firm, yet friendly. Champie is no longer the alpha in the house and quickly learned he was no longer in charge! Champie is now tolerant of new people coming to our house, and almost friendly. He is no longer aggressive when another dog walks by, and taking him for a walk is actually fun -- no more pulling. I never imagined he'd be able to accomplish not pulling on a leash, but Evan was very patient with him and me! I would highly recommend Evan for all your dog training needs -- He's the BEST!

Even after the first day we went from my dog nipping and barking at the trainer to seeing my dog relax and understand how to calm down. He was able to be next to other dogs and even have the trainer pet him. By the end of the training my dog was able to be around strangers and not feel the need to bolt after them. Was able to follow commands and focus his energy into keeping commands without breaking because of distractions. My dog still isn't perfect. But from where we came from it is a huge improvement and it's something I can manage and work with. Amazing Results. Completely recommend them to anyone.

He would lunge at other dogs, he was always hyper, and he would never listen to us. We came to a temperament test to learn more about the program. This gave Jason the opportunity to meet our dog and explain what would be involved in his training. The TYD60 course changed our dog for the better in SO many ways. I highly recommend this program to all my friends and family and we can't thank Jason enough!

5 out of 5 stars!

Jan is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your dog's success. She takes the time to explain the underlying reasons behind dog behaviors. She gives individual instruction and advice to each client and furry friend to help them with specific behaviors. Jan has taught me how to communicate effectively to Molly.

The staff is so friendly, my dog loves to go here! We recently lost one of our dogs, and I put a note in our account when i scheduled my other dog to board. I asked that they remove the dog who passed away from our account( it's just hard to see the reminder and have all those feelings come up again). They did exactly as I asked. When we picked our dog up from daycare today the staff at Bandit's had a sweet bouquet with a note attached. I was so touched. I have never experienced this level of customer service or sympathy from another facility. They know my dog by name when I walk in to drop my dog off; the level of personal care that they offer is unparalleled. I can't say enough good things about Bandit's, and we will continue to be customers as long as we have dogs to board.

As a Draper resident, I can't say enough great things about Wendi Okabayashi and "A Heart 4 Paws."…read more Our rescued Black Lab/Great Dane mix had already been surrendered twice. He was jumpy, mouthy, pulled constantly on walks, and was honestly a handful. When we reached out, Wendi responded immediately and suggested meeting in a public place so she could observe him in a real-world environment. Within minutes, she had him figured out. She wasn't just reading the dog, she was reading us and showing how our communication was affecting his behavior. The transformation has been remarkable. He's now obedient, well-mannered, walks politely on a leash, and has become a cherished member of our family. What also sets Wendi apart is her kindness and thoughtfulness. When you work with her, you're not just hiring a trainer. You're building a lasting relationship. She truly cares about every dog she works with and has become an extension of our family. Even after completing her Board and Train program, she's always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and celebrate our progress. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and professional dog trainer in Draper or anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley, Wendi is the person to call!
