About Vom Elite Dog Training
Our Mission
“It’s more than obedience, it’s a partnership”
Our Mission is to teach you the skills needed to train and understand your canine companion. We believe that building a lifelong partnership, and giving proper guidance, is the foundation to success.
There is much more to training than sit, stay, and walking on a leash. Dogs require structure, leadership, and clear boundaries in their day-to-day activities.
Our training provides you with the techniques needed to guide and lead your dog through all of life’s stages, and properly mold them into the structured, socialized, well-mannered dog you are looking for.
Our platform is a no cookie cutter approach. We work with the motivational ability of the dog, that will keep the dog focused and eager to learn.

Private lessons are in the comfort of your home or at our facilities. They are a 1-hour session. We work with the entire family dynamic to obtain the best outcome for resolution of behavioral issues or basic training needs, from puppy to adult.
Our group lessons are geared towards working everyday situations that your dog will encounter with in their life span and teach you how to mitigate, control, desensitize and delete unwanted behaviors. Both options of classes will give you the tools you will need to train and develop communication skills and a well-balanced dog in all areas of life.

What is a Service Dog?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service dog as “a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability.” Disabilities include mental or physical impairments that affect an individual’s ability to perform one or more major life activities (walking, seeing, etc.).
Places of residence, employment, and commercial facilities cannot discriminate against disabled individuals with service animals.
What is a Therapy or Comfort Dog?
A therapy and Comfort dog provides comfort, affection, or support to people in a specific setting (e.g., hospital, school, nursing home, court room). Therapy and Comfort dog handlers may be volunteers or professionals (teachers, therapists, police officers) who have trained their own dog to work in these settings. These dogs are not trained to mitigate any person's disabilities., They are required to have public access training and have great obedience skills. However, they are not covered under the Public Access Laws of Service Dog teams, they require Certification and Liability Insurance.
Our Service Dog program offers owner training of their own pre-approved dog, a puppy or a dog from a rescue. We will walk with you through the process of selection, training and Certification.
