FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Port Charlotte.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

    I can’t say enough great things about Dog Training Elite! They completely transformed my dog, Tippy, into a well-behaved and confident pup. Before training, Tippy was overly excited on walks and struggled with basic commands. After just a few sessions, the difference was night and day! The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to understand Tippy’s unique personality. They taught me how to reinforce training at home, which made a huge difference. Now, Tippy is a joy to take on walks, listens to commands, and is so much happier overall. If you’re looking for professional, results-driven training, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They truly care about you and your dog. Thank you for helping Tippy become her best self!

    I cannot even begin to express how strongly I recommend Dog Training Elite Oklahoma for any training needs. We are using them for our service dog training. Their love for the animal and it's potential is amazing. They have been so gentle with Rose during her service dog training and in just 3 weeks she is a completely different dog! We can't wait to she her live up to her full potential and have a purpose after service dog training.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite! From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and so patient with my dog. We signed up for the obedience training program, and the results have been amazing. My dog used to pull on the leash constantly, bark at the door, and never listened to basic commands, but now he’s walking calmly by my side, ignoring distractions, and following every instruction like a pro! The entire team provided support and guidance every step of the way, from in-home training through group class training. We always felt confident, thanks to their expertise. If you’re looking for dog training in Southwest Florida, look no further than Dog Training Elite! They’re truly the best. 🐾

    Dog Training Elite is a game changer in helping my highly distractable dog walk nicely on a leash and refrain from continually barking and growling at anyone and anything walking past my house. Learning commands and learning to place have completely changed his behavior in both of these areas. DTE has finally given me joy while walking my dog instead of anxiety. Thank you DTE!!

    Dog Training Elite has been amazing with helping to transition my dog into a PTSD Anxiety service dog. Chris is a talented trainer with the dogs and with breaking down the steps for me to continue the training my dog has learned. My dog Chip gets compliments all the time for his behavior out in public especially when people learn he just turned 2. I highly recommend their services.

    Chris was a great trainer and my one year old German Shepherd puppy has come a very long way to being well behaved after just five in-home sessions. She was pretty aggressive with him at first, but by the 5th session, she was showing him a lot of love. He has very good energy and he is a joy to work with. I'm really looking forward to my group training sessions in the local parks, because she still has some socialization skills to learn, and I know these group sessions will really help her with that. I'm so glad I called Dog Training Elite and I highly recommend them to anyone having behavior issues with their dogs.

    We had a great time with Chris! Our dog loves him, and always responded positively to his training and guidance. Chris was energetic, engaging and had a lot of important insight for us to learn from. We hope to have a strong bond with our family pet and look forward to more enrichment with our pup in the future. This training program exceeded our expectations and was an excellent first time program for him!

    Great company and great trainers. We saw a difference with Mia after the first in-home training. Myself and Mia are now able to enjoy walks together. I cannot say enough positive things about Chris. I'm so Happy for his patience with myself and how much Mia was able pick up. Looking forward to continuing this journey.

    Chris Davila has been an excellent choice for my dog Mini Moo and myself. I can not thank dog training elite enough for helping me with my dogs training goals. I purchased the platinum package and I would 100% recommend it for anyone struggling with their dog. I'm three quarts of the way through my training and I have been able to go on enjoyable walks, morning coffee at outside cafés all accompanied by my best friend Mini Moo. Our relationship as evolved so well and I couldn't be happier. I want to thank all of the dog training elite staff especially Chris and Denise Yenchochic. If you have a dog please give these guys a call!

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite Port Charlotte, we rely on a balanced combination of positive reinforcement and gentle electronic collar techniques to provide the best results for you and your dog.

  • Positive Reinforcement: Dogs are eager to please and we take advantage of this in our training method. Unlike other trainers that use harsh punishment to reinforce behavior, we only use positive tactics. By showing dogs what we want them to do with positive reinforcement, we receive a better response. This is the preferred method for dog lovers! We certainly do not want to harm dogs, and we know most dog owners agree with us.
  • Electronic Collar: Our trainers use an electronic collar to support their positive reinforcement training methods. This is not a shock collar. The electronic collar simply gets your dog's attention and ensures superior training results when paired with a command.
  • Stronger Bonds: To develop stronger bonds between dog and family, we ask dog owners and other family members to take part in training sessions. Our goal is to help you train your new dog as a valuable member of your family with love and trust.
