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.
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.

Another scam for you all! This company claims that you can pay them and you can take your dog anywhere you go. This is a website for emotional animals NOT SERVICE ANIMALS! Emotional animals are NOT covered under the American Disability Act (ADA) So why would this company advertise this? Because they are a scam to take your money! Here is a quote from their own website... Check this BS out! Quote from their website... "WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SERVICE ANIMAL AND AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL (ESA)? Service animals are trained to perform specific tasks and are essentially allowed to go anywhere their handlers go. Emotional support animals are not specifically trained for anything. ESA qualifications are based on the owner needing the animal for comfort. Since the animal isn’t trained for specific tasks, they can still be turned away from public places (ie restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, etc). However, once people find out that your animal is an Emotional Support Animal, they are much more likely to allow your pet to stay." 1000000% BULL SHIT! They even advertise they are a member of the BBB. Well, if you search the company's name they are not found AND if you click on their website for the BBB, it goes nowhere. Then they claim it was $200+ bucks but running a special for $79 for a doctor to sign off on this. The doctor and website are in the UK if they are even real doctors!!!! But why are we talking about doctors? Should we not be talking about Veterinarians? LOL! Do you really want to find out when you get to the airport and show your emotional dog papers and then be denied at the airport? Now what! Emotional support animals are not service animals. Don't get screwed and scammed! Some might find this answer a bit ‘icky’, but it is fascinating all the same. A wild or feral dog, and some house dogs as well, when weaning their pups from milk to solid food, begin by regurgitating chewed up food for them. Hungry puppies will lick their mom’s face to stimulate them to regurgitate. That’s where the face licking instinct begins. Obviously, your dog is not licking your face for the same reason, but that early instinct gets tied up in a love bond and knowing that humans have taken on the mom’s role of loving and caring and providing for them. That lick is their way of expressing that they know that, and love you for it.
This was a 100F day in the sun and as you can see 94F in the shade. A client had asked me how much of a change does a mister actually cool the area down. Well, Here ya go! I run the misters for 30 minutes, came back and took a temp reading. It went from 94F to 80.5F. I'm happy with that.
