Elite Canine

Geralyn has been so helpful at teaching me the correct timing for rewarding my dog when he follows my command — I have seen great improvement already. I have already scheduled my dog for another class with Elite Canine.

The love and care that the Elite Canine trainer Geralyn shows her students is just amazing. I have witnessed it first hand and can see the reaction from the dogs and the trainer.

This is the best place for dog training in Winston-​Salem. I have taken several dogs to Geralyn over the past few years. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and training.

With a new puppy, I’m back at Elite Canine for help with training. Just as she did years ago, Geralyn seriously amazes me with her knowledge of dogs. She knows so much about pretty much every type of breed. She is definitely in her element. I’m even more impressed with her this go round!

Elite Canine has been the best training for my two dogs and Geralyn is by far the best trainer. My dogs and I have trained with her for the past four years. She believes in everything positive and is always available for questions and concerns. She is involved in many community activities promoting everything positive for dogs and invites her students to join her. My dogs and I will continue taking classes with her because she is the best.

We love Geralyn. When we adopted our rescue husky-​mix we brought her to Elite Canine to start training all of us. It’s mostly my husband and youngest daughter that come with Josie (apparently I’m a distraction ;)) and not only has Josie learned a lot, but we have, too! Especially the husband! You won’t get a kinder, more concerned trainer and friend than Geralyn and it extends beyond her business. she’s constantly doing things for the community pets as well.

I found Elite Canine through a Google search. But her prices and good standing in the community are what made me decide to go to her. She is extremely sweet and very knowledgeable. Her philosophy is training at both ends of the leash. This is one I think is truly necessary when teaching dogs. It helps the owner to understand how to effectively communicate with their dogs.
She offers a variety of classes from puppies to certifications. I took my 4 month old puppy Charlotte to her. After to first week Charlotte could reliably sit, lay down and respond to positive reinforcement training. I even was able to teach her to roll over based on Elite Canine methods!
By our 5^th week, I was VERY happy with the progress Charlotte made. Not only does Geralyn teach commands, but in her classes, she covers safety on many levels. She talks about the household dangers as well as toxic foods. How to properly groom and care for your dog. What to do if you nic a nail and it starts bleeding. How to handle snowy conditions and walks. Geralyn also teaches about major food and treat companies. What ingredients to look for that are fillers and by-​products. The dangers of rawhide and the human food that you CAN share with your furry friend!
I would absolutely recommend Geralyn to anyone interested in the best training for their dogs. Big, small and all in between.

Geralyn at Elite Canine is by far the Best Trainer around. My Standard Poodle, Ty and I have been through several classes. I will never use another trainer. She truly cares about your dog and his/​her success.
If you want the Best Training for your dog, Elite Canine is the way to go.
