    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.
  • Jann Oliveras

    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.
  • Maylaine Yep
    Jan. 31, 2025
    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!

At Dog Training Elite Sarasota, we believe in-home dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s needs. Unlike traditional obedience schools, which often provide a one-size-fits-all approach, in-home training allows our team to observe and address your dog’s behavioral issues within the environment they naturally occur.

For instance, if your dog has a habit of barking at the mailman or chasing the neighbor’s cat, our trainers can work directly with your dog in those exact situations. This personalized approach ensures we target the root of the behavior, making it easier for your dog to understand and follow commands.

In-home training minimizes distractions and allows your dog to focus better on learning. By starting in the home and gradually introducing group lessons, our program helps your dog retain commands and respond accordingly to their surroundings.

Benefits of In-Home Training Techniques

Read More
Read Less
  • Develop a Strong Bond
  • Dogs thrive in training sessions when they are with their loved ones. Learning commands is a way for your dog to connect with you, and your praise and treats make the experience enjoyable and strengthen your bond.

    Sending your dog to obedience school separates you from the training process, missing out on this important connection. At Dog Training Elite, we involve you and your family in every in-home training session. Our trainers focus on teaching you how to train your dog and enhance your bonding experience.

  • Quickly Teach Obedience
  • Obedience commands are crucial for any comprehensive dog training program. They ensure your dog’s safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. At the core of successful training, these commands must be mastered before progressing.

    Our in-home training program emphasizes foundational obedience, teaching essential commands like sit, down, come, and drop it. Once these basics are solidified, our trainers will guide you and your dog through more advanced skills.

  • Correct Problem Behaviors
  • If your dog jumps on guests, charges the door when the bell rings, or begs at the table, these issues can be effectively corrected with the right training techniques.

    Group classes or basic training programs often overlook these specific problem behaviors, which usually occur in your dog's familiar home environment. Bringing a trusted trainer into your home ensures these behaviors are addressed in the context where they happen, leading to more effective solutions.
