East Texas Elite Kennels is a family operation run out of Gilmer, TX. While our specialty is started and advanced gun dog training, we also do all breed general obedience training as well. Let us help train your current hunting partner or we can help you find your next hunting partner! We also can provide your pet with the obedience training needed to be a public figure. With that we also train you on how to handle your pet to ensure you both have a good working relationship. Call us today for more information and make sure to follow us on TikTok! @Easttexaselitekennels

From “I LOVE YOU!!!” at 100mph… to “I love you” with all four paws on the ground. ?❤️ Ranger came to us thinking hugs meant jumping, bouncing, and ALL the excitement. Now he’s learning that he can still get all the love and affection he wants—just with a little self-control. ? Same sweet Ranger. Same big personality. Just 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? #dogtraining #obedience #labsofinstagram #easttexaselitekennels #labs

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! ??. #dogtraining #sendit #obedience #obediencetraining #etek

Some things just feel meant to be. Peach was bred by BlackJack Malinois and came to ETEK at just 8 weeks old to become a protection dog. Since then, she’s been raised and trained here, preparing for the day she’d meet her forever family. When the Reeves family reached out looking for a personal protection dog, they had one big concern—having a young daughter at home. But the moment they met Peach, every worry seemed to disappear. Peach walked straight over to their little girl and never left her side. It was truly love at first sight. Moments like these remind us that the right dog has a way of choosing their family just as much as the family chooses them. Peach is now beginning her next chapter with the Reeves family and will be back with us in the near future to continue her protection training. Thank you, Reeves family, for trusting ETEK. Watching these relationships form is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do, and Peach is already proving she’s exactly where she’s meant to be. ❤️?

Some dogs come and go through the kennels… and then there are the ones who help build it. Meet Willow. One of the OG’s, she’s been part of East Texas Elite Kennels from the very beginning. She’s been there through the early mornings, long training days, countless retrieves, competitions, and all the memories in between. She’s more than a dog here—she’s family. And if you’ve spent any time around our kennels, chances are she’s left a paw print on your heart too. We are grateful for her owners continuing to trust us with her ?? #huntingdog #labsofinstagram #easttexaselitekennels #gundog #blacklab

This isn’t just obedience. This is free shaping. Every reward tells Lou, “Yes—that was the right choice.” No forcing. No positioning. No constant luring. Just a 9-week-old puppy learning to think, solve problems, and stay engaged with his handler. That’s how you create a dog that’s confident, driven, and loves to work. The commands come later. The mindset starts now. ? #BelgianMalinois #FreeShaping #DogTraining #PuppyTraining #WorkingDog
