Afraid training will change your dog’s personality?
We promise—the goofy stays.

We’re not changing who they are. We’re teaching them how to make better choices.

Same dog. Same personality. Better manners. 🐾

🐶 IT’S NATIONAL DOG DAY! 🐾

Around here, we think dogs deserve to be celebrated every day—but we’ll gladly take an extra excuse. 😉

To every dog who has walked through the doors of East Texas Elite Kennels: thank you for trusting us, challenging us, making us laugh, and reminding us why we love what we do.

Whether they came to us to learn obedience, become a better hunting partner, or train for personal protection, every dog has their own story—and we’re honored to be a small part of it.

Good obedience shouldn’t only work for the trainer.

If our 11-year-old can confidently work them, imagine what that training can do for your family. Saige is gearing up to graduate soon and we are so proud of her🐾

Meet Nova❤️

When Nova first came to us, everyday situations were a challenge. She struggled around other dogs, jumped on kids, and walking nicely on a leash just wasn’t happening.

But little by little, with consistency, structure, and a whole lot of work, things started to click. 👏🏼

Nova learned how to stay focused around distractions, respect boundaries, walk confidently on leash, and make better choices—even when the world around her gets exciting.

The goal of obedience isn’t to change who your dog is. It’s to give them the skills they need to navigate life with confidence and control.

Same sweet Nova. New skills. A whole lot of growth.

We’re so proud of how far you’ve come, Nova! Congratulations, graduate! 🎓🐾

🚨🚨YOU ASKED & WE LISTENED!🚨🚨. NEW PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT 🐾

We’re excited to introduce our new 3-Week Obedience Essentials Program at East Texas Elite Kennels!

We created this program for families who want professional obedience training with a shorter time commitment and a more budget-friendly price point for clients who are looking for On Leash training only.

Over three weeks, we’ll focus on the skills that make the biggest difference in everyday life:

🐾 Here — building a reliable response when called
🐾 Heel — creating better leash manners and enjoyable walks
🐾 Sit — establishing control and everyday manners
🐾 Kennel — teaching your dog to enter the kennel on command
🐾 Leash Skills — reducing pulling and creating a more manageable dog on leash

This program is perfect for dogs who need a solid obedience foundation but may not need the more extensive training included in our full 6-Week Obedience Program.

Less time away from home. A lower investment. The professional training and standards you expect from ETEK.

Enrollment for our new 3-Week Obedience Essentials Program is officially OPEN!

📩 Message us today for pricing, availability, and enrollment information.
