    Knowledgeable and understanding of the needs of different dogs. Knows when to train and when a dog is done. Happy to have her training my feral rescue and training me. Over the course of all the lessons, she has helped me understand how to train Cole and the results are a dog who initially was scared of everything and now is more confident and understanding of what is asked of him in various commands.

    We just finished our in home training sessions with Jessica and she was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable, excellent with our boy and was so patient with us! Our Tucker is truly a different dog in public and at home…all for the better! We cannot thank her enough and look forward to our group sessions! Thank you DTE for an amazing start to Tucker’s journey!

    Jessica came to our home for first training lesson and we all learned quite a bit. She was very informative and we are confident our Teddy boy (year and a half mini schnauzer) will learn to be a well trained dog. We also will be well trained! Jess was exceptional in her guidance on what we need to do to get Teddy on the right path and us too! Happy we found DTE to help us teach our dog obedience training. 2nd lesson, Jess taught us lesson on Place and Break. I am amazed how she teaches our pup how to listen and obey these commands. She has so much patience with our Teddy pup and us. We are making progress!

    Jessica was awesome and we greatly appreciate her time today. She clearly loves her job and has great understanding of dog behavior. She did an outstanding job educating us on the device. We look forward to starting the in-facility training next week.

    Our dog is a student at the Venice campus of Dog Training Elite. The attention they give to the dogs and the training portal with a video recap of the training frlor the day and the assigned homework for Zoey lets us become part of the training.

    Excellent morning of training. She gave us confidence that 3 1/2 year old dogs could be trained ( finally ) to be polite and obedient.

    Very friendly staff. Very good dog training as well as training the dog owner. Take as long as needed for training, no rush. Cost is on the higher end but worth it if owner/dog needs more time than usual.

    My dog, Ms Beasley, and I just completed our 5 week training program with Jessica. I am so impressed by Jessica’s professionalism, patience, and care for Beasley and I. She is available at all times when I have questions or concerns. She has prepared us well to be successful in our next step…service dog training. This is the most successful program in which we have invested. Many thanks to Jessica and all of the amazing people at Dog Training Elite. They have gone above and beyond by helping to set up our training in another city for the holidays. They are truly elite!

    Jessica of Dog Training Elite has been amazing! She has helped us to understand our rescue and helped us learn how to help him feel safe and loved in our home. He has a long way to go but we would have been totally lost without her help! Thank you!!!

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training, the approach matters. At Dog Training Elite of 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.
