Pitbull Training in Port Charlotte, FL

At Dog Training Elite, we can tailor our training method to work with any dog breed. We also understand that some dog breeds may require more training in some areas than others. Generally, all dogs share qualities of loyalty, intelligence, and compassion—regardless of what breed they are. Additionally, some breeds may have traits that require more attention and training than others.

For example, dogs within the pit bull family might possess some qualities that need training and correction that aren't an issue with other dog breeds. Whatever the case and dog breed you have, the trainers at Dog Training Elite of Port Charlotte can create a breed–specific training plan to help you and your dog.

What is a Pitbull?


Read More
Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

  • American Pitbull Terrier
  • American Staffordshire Terrier
  • American Bulldog
  • English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    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!

    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!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

  • These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.

  • Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.

  • Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.

  • Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.

  • These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite of Port Charlotte can address!

  • Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
