    Alisa came for an introduction and evaluation. She was prompt and professional and really took the time to explain the methods and goals of the available training programs. I look forward to working with her again.

    I was extremely pleased and satisfied with Denise's presentation, and requirement for puppy training. what was also very impressive was her own dog the training and commands that her dog showed. Looking forward for my dog to start his puppy training and to further his training as a service dog. Thank you Denise.

    Denise came to our home and spent over an hour explaining the program. She answered all of our questions. She also brought one of her own dogs to demonstrate how well the program works. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. We were definitely sold on the training.

    Already seeing changes in behavior! Actually took Pepper for an enjoyable walk this evening the first in many months.

    Denise was fantastic! She gave a very thorough explanation, and even demonstrated with her own dog what we can look forward to. It gave us both peace of mind and hope that our reactive Doberman can learn what is expected of her and actually listen to commands rather than us being reactive to her behavior and stressed out all the time. We look forward to Luna being a more relaxed and confident member of our family!

    This was our first session at home and Alisa was friendly and clear with all of instructions. She made both us and Calli, our Goldendoodle, very comfortable.

    Denise arrived at our home for an initial assessment to verify if Winston, our goldendoodle, was a great fit for service dog training. I felt at ease the moment she arrived. I was well aware that this was a financial investment that would yield not only tangible but non-tangible returns as well. I can't wait to start this journey with Winston and Dog Training Elite by our sides.

    We couldn’t be happier with Dog Training Elite and our trainer Anthony. Since the first session we have seen positive results and improvement in our dog’s behavior. He loves Anthony and responds well to him and the DTE methods. Anthony is a very professional and knowledgeable trainer; he listens to our concerns and is attentive to our dog’s progress, customizing our sessions accordingly. Highly recommend Dog Training Elite whether you have a puppy, rescue or older dog. Their training programs, resources and trainers are high quality and organized for lifelong success for you and your dog.

    This wonderful trainer came and talked with helping my German Shepherd! Unfortunately for us, we have to find someone else. My dog needs more help than he can give so he is helping me to find another Trainer. This man was was kind and caring, and he was honest with me. He did not ask me to spend alot of money, when he wasn't sure we could make the dog better. These people care about dogs and helping them be the best dogs, and they enrich their lives to have a better life! Thank you for your time and honesty!

Our Training Method

Read More
Read Less

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