Highly recommend
Grayson from Dog Training Elite of Coastal Bend did a masterful job training my schnauzer mix and teaching me to train. We were both pleased with each training session. Grayson gave me sound advice and my overall experience was awesome. I understand my dog better and she is responding well despite being a naturally stubborn breed. Highly recommend.
kay moss
DTE was great. I contacted them and they wrte able to come out very quick for the initial evaluation. Grayson was the trainer that came out and was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and I feel would be a great asset in the training for me and my little boy Hook. I look forward to the future.
Ann Lowe
Working with Anuj has been incredibly helpful. We have learned a lot about how we interact with our dog and how our dog has become boss of the house. We are undoing that behavior with each lesson. A couple of lessons in and there is already a significant change in his behavior.
Tammy Nodarse
Grayson was great! He is knowledgeable and friendly and my dog, Scout, loved him! He takes time to demonstrate each new command and gives feedback on my attempts. My dog and I both look forward to each lesson with Grayson and I highly recommend him if you’re looking for a trainer!

OWNERS
Anuj and Jessica, the proud faces of Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend, bring a heartfelt touch to the art of dog training. Anuj, with years of distinguished service as an Army Medic, has channeled his discipline and dedication into helping both dogs and owners alike. Jessica’s detail-oriented background as a lab tech and Financial advisor ensures their business runs with precision and warmth.
Their approach to dog training is grounded in the belief that every interaction should be based on positive reinforcement and individual care. With their co-owner dogs, Rye and Reggie, they exemplify the transformative impact of their methods. Rye, Anuj’s steadfast service dog, and Reggie, a shining example of their training success, are integral to their lives and work.
The pair’s mission is deeply personal: to support their fellow veterans and the broader Corpus Christi community by enhancing the bond between dogs and their families. Anuj’s own personal struggles and Service Dog Journey through DTE led the pair to pursue helping others achieve the same healing and benefits that their family has experienced. They’re not just in the business of training dogs; they live it and they’re fostering a family of dog lovers through shared experiences and mutual support.
When they’re not engaged in training, Anuj and Jessica can be found immersed in the community, sharing their love for music and the water, and enjoying life with Rye and Reggie. Their commitment to their craft and their clients is as unwavering as it is genuine.
At Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend, Anuj, Jessica, Rye, and Reggie aren’t just providing a service — they’re welcoming you into a family where every dog is trained with care, and every owner is treated with respect and kindness.
Obedience Training
Dog Training That Solves Everyday Problems
A dog should bring joy, not stress. Without structure, even the most loving pet can pull on the leash, jump on guests, or ignore commands. Our obedience training fixes these issues so your dog becomes the calm, reliable companion you always wanted.
Designed Around Your Lifestyle
We know every family is different. That’s why our programs include in-home sessions for personal coaching and group classes for real-world practice. From basic commands to advanced on- and off-leash training, we prepare your dog to listen at home, in the neighborhood, and out in public — no matter the distractions.
More Than Training — A Lasting Investment
The real cost of skipping training is safety. Investing in obedience now gives you a dog you can trust anywhere, anytime. Starting young sets puppies up for a lifetime of good behavior, while older dogs benefit too — breaking bad habits, building confidence, and staying active and healthier for years to come.
Obedience Training Programs Focus:
- Mastering Core Commands
- Improved Behavior at Home & in Public
- Proper Canine Socialization
- Leash Etiquette
- Human/Canine Trust & Teamwork
- Mental Stimulation
- Confidence Building
- Impulse Control
- Polished Public Manners
Life-Changing Support Through Service Dog Training
Service dogs are specially trained to perform tasks like interrupting, alerting, retrieving and assisting that support individuals with physical, medical, or emotional disabilities. At Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend, our programs are built around your unique medical needs and lifestyle, ensuring both dog and handler are set up for long-term success:
● Personalized Dog Selection – Don’t have a dog yet? We’ll help you choose one with the right temperament and traits to fit your unique needs.
● Current Dog Evaluations – Already own a dog? We’ll evaluate whether they can meet the demands of service work.
● Time Matters – Our training produces fully prepared service dogs in 6–18 months, customized to the needs of each handler’s medical condition.
● No Wait List – Unlike other providers with multi-year delays, we can start your service dog training journey right away.
● Lifetime Support – We stand behind every service dog we train, providing ongoing support for the life of your dog.
Please note that not all Dog Training Elite locations are certified for every type of medical condition training; however, our nationwide network works closely together to ensure your local representative can help meet your specific needs.

Puppy Training
Puppy Training Foundations
Bringing home a new puppy should be joyful, not overwhelming. Yet many new owners quickly realize that without the right guidance, challenges like chewing, accidents, barking, and boundless energy can feel unmanageable. Too often, well-meaning families struggle, believing their puppy is “too difficult” or that they aren’t cut out for dog ownership.
At Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend, we believe every puppy has the potential to thrive, and every owner deserves the confidence to enjoy the journey. Our Puppy Training Foundations program is designed to set you and your puppy up for lasting success. Through proven methods and hands-on coaching, we help you build a strong bond, foster trust, and establish the communication that will carry through your dog’s entire life.
This isn’t just training. It’s the first step toward the loyal, well-mannered companion you’ve always envisioned.

Behavior Modification
Behavior Modification Training
Living with a dog that struggles with anxiety, aggression, or other serious behavior problems can be exhausting. Simple moments like welcoming house guests, taking a walk, or relaxing at home become stressful, unpredictable, and sometimes even unsafe. Many owners feel isolated, frustrated, or guilty, unsure if their dog can ever truly change.
At Dog Training Elite Coastal Bend, we understand the weight of those challenges, and we know how to turn them around. Our Behavior Modification Program doesn’t just mask unwanted behaviors; it addresses the root causes. Through proven, balanced training methods, we help dogs replace fear, anxiety, and aggression with calm, confident responses.
Let us help you build the safe, trusting relationship you and your dog both deserve.

- Gentle Engagement (nipping or biting corrected)
- Secure Boundaries (resource guarding removed)
