Diabetic Alert Dog Training in Sarasota, FL

Jessica is awesome Great trainer

Jessica just came over for a refresher with me and my dog Beasley. She is so patient and encouraging. She is a great teacher and Beasley loves her. I feel so much more confident after she leaves! Thank you Jessica 😍

Kelsie is truly outstanding. Enzo and I could not ask for better support and intuitive training. Enzo is learning and loves her!

Jessica is awesome and has helped us tremendously with our puppy, Weezie! She is professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough about her.

We have an 8 year old poodle who constantly barks if someone comes over to our home unless we shout "Rosa Stop Barking". Denise spoke with us which was supposed to be a 20 minute free session which I believe was closer to 30 minutes and told us to say "QUIET" and then praise Rosa (Denise suggested some dog devices too). Denise was VERY PATIENT and must have a psychology degree because she was explaining in professional terms not only for Rosa but for us as the pet parents. When the time comes for us to have a new puppy we will ABSOLUTELY contact Denise for training. Denise deserves 10 stars. Cynthia Arcaro

Kelsie is wonderful and very patient with both my dog and me! Highly recommend.

Just always a good experience! Thank you.

What an amazing place. Marlan had a great day, and that staff was so sweet and so good with him. We can’t wait to continue training with them!

Our second dog lesson went extremely well! Kelsie explained the collars used very patiently and trained both our dog and us! We had a well behaved walk today.

Jessica is an amazing dog trainer. She will listen to your situation & your concerns with your fur baby. We have seen an improvement in our dog’s behavior & we have learned to respond appropriately to his behavior. I definitely recommend EDT - you won’t regret it. It’s worth every penny.

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

Our evaluation/assessment visit today with Denise was outstanding. She explained everything with no pressure applied, answered our questions, and encouraged direct access for any later questions. She is very tuned in to reality with our dog, maintaining his personality while being very clear about how goals are to be accomplished with necessary behavior changes. We very much look forward to the training and seeing what we are certain will be great results. Update: 11Nov2025: started training and Renee is awesome!!! Thank you for helping our boy Rudy! Update: 12Nov2025: training this week has been amazing. Renee is outstanding and we appreciate the structure, details and the daily videos so much! Update 20Nov2025: Rudy completed his in-facility training today. It's been a great 2 weeks, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite. This training has exceeded our expectations and we see positive results already. We know we will need to be diligent about our continued training but the foundation has been so well provided for Rudy and us. Can't say enough about how excellent, patient and knowledgeable Renee and Jessica are. Our boy is a very friendly and exuberant guy, and thanks to the tools provided to us by these outstanding trainers, we know he will be an even better version of himself. Update June 1, 2026: Had a great visit with Renee today for a little training tune-up. Excellent training as usual. Very helpful!! Thank you!

In speaking with Denise I felt that she already knew my dog. She projects a deep understanding, and knowledge of the business. I have engaged her company to train our dog and expect great results.

Just finished week three with Kelsie and she is absolutely fantastic to work with. My Goldendoodle Yankee responds to everything she’s teaching (and so does his mom most of the time.) Kelsie is very knowledgeable in dog training, it’s undeniable. Thank you DTE for helping me tame my baby. You have shown me just how smart he really is. I highly recommend DTE to anyone considering training for and with your pup!

I generally don’t do online reviews. However, Kelsie goes above and beyond. She is personable, professional, articulate and obviously loves dogs. She has been hugely helpful to us and we feel fortunate to work with her.

We hired Dog Training Elite to help with our Maltese, who had severe barking issues triggered by almost everything—the doorbell, delivery drivers, other dogs on walks, and separation anxiety. Kelsie Johnson has been absolutely incredible. She customized a plan specifically for our small dog's big personality, teaching us how to handle each separate trigger without feeling overwhelmed. We are only partway through our 5-session package, but the transformation is already noticeable. Kelsie is patient, highly knowledgeable, and fantastic at explaining dog behavior. If you are struggling with a vocal Maltese or barking in general, I highly recommend asking for Kelsie specifically!

Thank you, Renee, for another informative great training lesson for Sailor and myself today. Going to DTE South Florida training center was very easy and cool for these hot summer Day's.

Kelsie from Dog Training Elite was outstanding! She came to our home for the first training session with our long-haired Mini Dachshund, London, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Kelsie was knowledgeable, patient, and did a great job understanding London’s abilities and attention span at his young age. She tailored the training to where he is developmentally, making the session both productive and enjoyable. We were amazed by how much London learned during just the first visit. She clearly explained the exercises and homework for us to work on throughout the week, and we feel confident continuing the training between sessions. We’re excited to see London’s progress over the next four weeks and are already encouraged by the foundation Kelsie helped establish. If the first session is any indication of what’s to come, we’re well on our way to having a well-trained dog who listens to commands and enjoys learning. Highly recommend Kelsie and Dog Training Elite!

Jessica is an amazing trainer! We are just two sessions in, but she’s getting great results out of both me and my dog😜 She clearly communicates the reason behind each command and methodically builds on the previous session, creating the foundation for long-term success.

Although Denise was not able to help with my specific situation, she was prompt, friendly and informative. Thank you, Denise!
