I’ve used 3 training services in Austin and this is by far the best! Instead of telling you how the others missed the mark, I’ll focus on what makes DTE the best.

I could ramble for days about how great it was, but I will keep it quick! In home sessions were amazing, and we could see our sweet girl learning in real time. He also equipped us really well to do our “homework”... read full review
