We are a professional dog training company that offers basic to advanced pet obedience and service dog training, public perfect, and behavior modification programs. Chris, our founder, served in the USMC for 5 years before being honorably discharged. A couple of years later, he bought Miss Ryelie Jo, and, with some professional guidance, helped train her as his personal service dog. Ryelie Jo had
such a tremendous impact on Chris that he decided to change career paths and start Elite K-9 Training, so that others could experience the companionship, and benefit from the skills, that dogs offer. Chris has worked with different dog trainers in California and Oregon, over the past couple of years, to gain experience in different types of training styles. Today, his passion is to integrate personal and working dogs into every facet of life, while helping to create and nurture an unbreakable bond between you and your dog. Vision & Mission:
Our vision and mission is to partner alongside you to create well-behaved dog-citizens for the home, public, and business arenas. Our goal is to produce and place highly skilled service animals that contribute to, and improve, the lives of veterans within our community. Values:
Veterans – We support our military, both at home and abroad. We believe that many of our veterans would benefit from the skills and companionship that service dogs can offer, which is why we want to partner with the community to meet those needs. Collaboration – We believe that each human-dog relationship is unique, which is why we take the time to meet with you, and understand your frustrations or needs, in order to create a personalized training package for you and your dog. Animals – We are passionate about advocating for animals, especially man’s best friend, which is why we use a multitude of different learning theories to help alleviate frustration with unwanted behaviors, without using punishment or negative reinforcement. Transparency – We are committed to operating with integrity and honesty with every client. You can trust us to work alongside you to create a better quality of life for you, your family, and your dog, in the safest and most effective way possible.
