Elite Pup Training

Ricky can somehow look into the mind of a dog. I downsized from obedient, loving to please Labs and Goldens to a sassy, assertive, and sometimes aggressive English Cocker Spaniel. I really thought I could not keep this puppy. Ricky turned this dog around. She is a dog that definitely needs a gentle hand but at the same time, can be very nasty herself. Ricky figured her out . She's very smart and thrived on the obedience training and boundary setting. He worked this miracle while enabling her to maintain her spunky personality and be a genuinely happy dog who has learned impulse control and the joy of doing her "job". She loves Ricky and I can't say enough good stuff about the experience with EPT.

I can confidently say that I have a totally different dog now than when I started. I got a rescue puppy border collie (questionable life choices but I digress). She was very reactive and pulled on my leash, walks were a nightmare and she would run out of my house and escape and would not come back when called. I've learned how to bond with her much more so that her aggression, reactivity, barking and leash pulling are all manageable. I was so nervous going into it that she was beyond hope, but Ricky fully understand my dog, assured me there was a good dog inside of her we just needed to coax it out and now I see it. She's such a sweetheart and I can take her for calm, peaceful walks now. Everything was seamless from the communication, the booking, the training etc. It was worth every single penny. In fact, I am not ready to be done so I am booking another 3 sessions :) If you have a tough dog, or just want a tune up on your dog or new puppy I can not recommend Elite Pup Training enough!! Thank you for everything Ricky and team (Ellie says thank you too for the good training, the yummy treats and the clean fancy water bowl after each session)

We’ve worked with Ricky Rojas at Elite Pup Training for over 15 years, and Olive is now our third dog to train with him. Every time we come back, we’re reminded why—we trust Ricky completely and his system simply works. This was our first time trying the drop-off day training program, and it ended up being the perfect fit for us and for Olive. The structure gave her focused, intensive training during the day with Ricky and his staff, while still allowing her to come home and relax with us in the evenings. It really felt like the best of both worlds. Our top three concerns going in were leash pulling, getting Olive to mind her business on walks, and building a reliable “down.” The new day training program addressed all three incredibly well. The transformation in her walking manners alone has made daily walks so much more enjoyable. One thing we’ve always appreciated about Ricky is how he makes his training system simple to understand and easy to replicate at home. He doesn’t just train the dog—he teaches the owners how to maintain the progress. That clarity and consistency have made a huge difference for us with every dog we’ve trained with him. We’re incredibly grateful for Ri

I have a american bully blue nose pitbull thats as stuborn as can be. She tests me on the daily. I decided to get some help and met with ricky from elite pup training. I felt at ease and comfortable right from the start. He is great at teaching and putting together the right program for you and your family and your dog. E collars get a bad rap Get educated on them. Great tool to help turn your puppy into a dog Thank you for all the love u showed my dog ricky and staff See you for boarding when i go out of town

We signed up Stella for EPTs 3 week boarding program and are very happy with the results! We had done other training courses before choosing EPT but we still needed more help to address Stella's reactiveness. In the past we couldn't even take her on a walk without her pulling the whole way or lunging at cars driving by. Thankfully all of that is no longer an issue thanks to EPT. She would also get really worked up with dogs on walks and thanks to the training not only has that improved but we also know how to snap Stella out of it before she gets overworked. Thanks for much to Ricky, Vanessa, and the team! We're looking forward to bringing Stella back for daycare soon 😊✨️
