Check out this review of a local ST. George Utah customer that took their dog to an E-collar training facility. It is important to ask all your questions. For us, there is no such thing as a stupid question. We want you to ask us all the questions since you are putting your trust in somebody that will be handling your dog.
Employees are not trained on how to properly use E-collars or prong collars. They left E-collar marks on my parent's dog's neck. Not only the contact points of the E-collar left a mark but the whole collar strap left marks on his neck too. Which shows me they put the collar on way too tight. his fur grew back white and he’s a black dog so it’s very noticeable. My parent's dog is now traumatized because of the misuse of the E-collar. I also witnessed an employee (who said they were the “head trainer” at dog training elite) stimming a nervous dog with the E-collar repeatedly because it was wandering around a new environment. the dog was visibly stressed out and shut down. The dog was also wearing a prong collar and it wasn’t properly fit. I felt sorry for that dog. dog training elite will hire anyone. dog experience or not. they also can’t even explain to you why and how they use the prong collar or E-collar. I called them to ask them questions, I asked if they could explain how they use the E-collar and the girl that was on the phone seemed so taken aback and just said “We just use it.” Good dog trainers would be able to answer all your questions and tell you why and how they use training tools. BEWARE of dog training elite. I would not trust this dog training franchise with anyone's dogs. St. George has amazing dog trainers, unfortunately, these guys are not one of them.
