FirstBarkWe have been through two puppy training packages with Ricky, we started with our puppy at 4 months old and the results are phenomenal! He provides safe, instructional and practical training with exceptional results. We were able to take our now 9 month old puppy on a trip across the country and she was so well behaved it was remarkable! We would highly recommend his training! Cyndi & Steve

Ricky is an amazing trainer and human. He helped us rehabilitate our dog-reactive Staffordshire terrier and we couldn't be happier with the results. Prior to Elite Pup Training we tried a few other trainers in town but didn't get the results we were looking for. Ricky is super compassionate and knowledgeable-- I recommend him highly!

We've got our 3 year old Pitbull in December and although sweet, he came with a lot of bad habits. Pulling, jumping and taking off were just a few. We tried for months to correct these behaviors but had little success. Ricky broke down the behavior and gave us the tools to correct them. I had struggled with getting the dog to lay down but Ricky's method was so straight forward and easy that I had him laying down on command the next day. Ranger is much easier to handle and understands what we want from him and what is acceptable behavior. Homework and consistency are vital and we will continue to work on his foundation. If you want a solid professional, Elite Pup Training is the way to go.

I went thru many trainers until someone recommended Elite to me, they are truly exceptional trainers, I couldn’t even take my dogs on a walk before the training, they barked and pulled, chased other dogs and people and little kids, they would never come back either when I called them, specially if they where having fun with other dogs at the beach, I was always running after them. Now I take them everywhere with me, they behave so amazingly well, they come to my office, we go for walks even without a leash , they get to be dogs, have fun and play but listen to me very well. It’s wonderful, changed my life, I love them more then ever now. I feel they are safer because I can stop them if there’s a dangerous situation. Don’t waste money on other training methods, these guys are the best and worth it.
This trainer is the real deal. Don't be fooled by other people trying to make a quick buck. Ricky and EPT are on a whole new level.
