I thrive on customer feedback and hearing about the great results that clients are achieving with my training methodologies. Below are some reviews from the community.
Sahil was an absolutely amazing trainer. I was initially so embarrassed by how poorly behaved our dog was, but Sahil was able to turn her around within minutes.He gave us a lot of theory behind her behaviour and it turns out that it wasn't only our pup that had behaviours, but we had a few too!I honestly didn't think our pup would have a chance of change, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.Thank you so much Sahil 🙂
We had our first session today and Sahil was great and very patient with my Asd/adhd daughter helping her calm and relax so she could be a better leader for her dog. And the first time we’ve taken him for a walk in public with out lundging and barking it was great. looking forward to having more sessions.
I recently enrolled my puppy in training classes with Elite Canines, led by the incredible Sahil, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, it was evident that Sahil's passion for dogs and dedication to their wellbeing shines through in everything he does.The training facility itself is top-notch, providing a safe and welcoming environment for both pups and owners alike. Sahil's approach to training is not only effective but also filled with positivity and encouragement. He understands that every dog is unique and tailors his methods to suit each individual's needs, which truly sets Elite Canines apart.Throughout the sessions, Sahil's expertise and patience were evident as he guided us through various techniques and exercises. His clear communication and willingness to answer any questions ensured that I felt confident in continuing the training at home.What truly impressed me was Sahil's commitment to not only training the dogs but also educating the owners. He provided valuable insights into canine behavior and communication, empowering us to build a strong bond with our furry companions.Thanks to Sahil, Luna has made remarkable progress in a short amount of time. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to give their furry friend the best possible start in life. Thank you, Sahil, for your dedication and passion for helping dogs and their owners thrive!
Sahil was so amazing to deal with! He was so understanding with our concerns regarding our 1 year old Golden Retriever and gave us the tools and solutions to improve his training. His knowledge in behaviour of dogs and how to deal with different behaviours as owners is so valuable. He goes above and beyond for both owners and their pets. We cannot recommend him enough to others and are so thankful for his help!
Sahil has helped us with training of two dogs now, he is great to work with and he is very good at getting the best out of the me and our dogs
Would highly recommend Sahil to anyone wishing to train their fur companion. Very professional, knowledgeable & friendly.
Sahil is an amazing trainer. Noticed a difference with our dogs behaviour straight away.
Sahil is a legit dog whisperer. I was really struggling to manage my dogs severe reactivity to other dogs and had seen another dog trainer without improvement. In a couple of private sessions Sahil gave us all the skills we needed to drastically improve my confidence as a handler and my dogs behaviour. We just completed the introductory course which was really fun, informative and gave us all the foundations of basic obedience training. I can't recommend Elite canines training highly enough, thankyou Sahil!
I have recently completed the beginner/puppy class with Sahil, which was nothing short of excellent. Sahil’s ability to provide support to each individual dog and handler whilst overseeing the class is amazing. Looking forward to beginning the novice class.
Sahil was wonderful during our beginners classes with our 3 month old labradoodle. Great knowledge and patience.We look forward to continuing our training with his weekly obedience classes.
My beautiful girl Flossy and I are nearing the completion of our Puppy School classes with Sahil. I wanted to give Flossy the best possible start in life and Sahil's Puppy School has been the key to learning the skills which are essential in helping Flossy develop into a confident, trusting, friendly and well behaved dog at home and in social and environmental settings. Sahil has a natural affinity with puppies and connects with all temperaments, shapes and sizes. He is consistent, caring and compassionate.Sahil is also very patient and observant and in my eyes (and Flossy's eyes too) a brilliant dog trainer. We can't thank Sahil enough for setting us on the right path as we continue to practise the skills he has taught us. I highly recommend Elite Dog Training's Sahil Verma to all loving and responsible puppy owners in the Greater Bendigo area and beyond.
We adopted our staffy Mia when she was 3 years old with no training whatsoever. She's now 7, and as my hubby and I are expecting our first child this year, we needed some training to stop her jumping, to walk calmly on a lead and to walk beside a pram as well as leaving baby's toys alone. Sahil is an absolute miracle worker! I am so impressed with his patience and professionalism. He has given us the tools and confidence to ensure that Mia is on the right path.Thank you so much Sahil!
Sahil is a wonderful dog trainer and we have used him for both our dogs. We attend his group classes each week and are learning so much. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is patient, caring, understanding, super experienced, and able to fix any dog behavioural issues super quickly. We love attending Elite! 🙂
Sahil is excellent all round. Friendly, professional and amazing with our dog (and so patient with us asking non stop questions!).We were a bit lost with our new Lab a couple of years ago and got Sahil in for a couple of home visits, the difference was immediate each time. He gave us the techniques to deal with issues and ensure we all are happy. Trained bad behaviours out of us and her in one go. We're about to add another Lab and are going to puppy school again it was that invaluable.I recommend him highly and have been telling everyone who asks about dog trainers to go to Sahil.
We have completed the basic puppy training and it has been a terrific learning experience for the both of us (dog and 'daddy'). This training provided a great foundation, with loads of tips and an opportunity to socialise with other dogs, and now we're both excited to continue our training with Sahil.Totally recommend!! 🙂
