Dog Training Elite Celebrates Mid-Year Momentum With 4 New Signings and Expansion Into 3 New Markets

Dog Training Elite, one of the leading obedience and specialized training franchises in the U.S., is celebrating significant growth in 2024 with four new signings this year, three of which have already opened their doors, along with one more set to open in August. The company has made a strong entrance into new markets, including California, Oregon and Arkansas, further solidifying its presence nationwide. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the company, which has steadily grown its footprint in the dog training industry.

Dog Training Elite's entry into new markets is a testament to the increasing demand for their high-quality services. Each new location is strategically chosen to serve communities that can benefit from professional dog training, ensuring that more families and individuals have access to these essential services. The company's ability to adapt and grow in different regions speaks to the strength of its business model and the effectiveness of its training programs.

In addition to geographic expansion, Dog Training Elite has introduced new training methods to support franchisees in delivering more personalized services. “We’ve added a lot of additional training tools that they can use so they can reach a larger customer base by being able to adapt the program more individually for each dog and client,” said Kelley Rosequist, director of development for Dog Training Elite. 

The enhanced training programs are designed to empower franchisees with the knowledge and skills to address a wide range of training needs. Whether it's basic obedience, advanced behavioral training or specialized service dog training, Dog Training Elite ensures that its franchisees are well-equipped to meet the demands of their clients. This commitment to excellence has earned the company a reputation for being a leader in the dog training industry.

Dog Training Elite currently has locations in 34 states, but the brand is looking to have full U.S. coverage within the next two years. However, despite these ambitious plans for nationwide expansion, Rosequist says the brand’s growth strategy is more organic than systematic,” she said.

The company's growth is not just about numbers; it reflects a deep commitment to improving the quality of life for both dogs and their owners through the creation of programs that foster strong, healthy relationships while addressing broader societal issues.

“We’ve rolled out some additional service dog training programs,” said Rosequist. “We’ve expanded our psychiatric service dog training program to really focus more on all the ways that dogs can support the mental health crisis in America.”

As Dog Training Elite continues to expand and innovate, it remains committed to providing top-tier training services that meet the diverse needs of dogs and their owners across the U.S. With new signings, market entries and enhanced training programs, the company is well-positioned for continued success in the coming years. The ongoing efforts to improve and adapt their training programs show a dedication to excellence that is expected to drive future growth and success.
