    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!!!

    Jessica is a great trainer. She is patient with the dog (as long as they obey… kidding). I would highly recommend her and the Dog Training Elite SW Florida team.

    Jessica came to our house for our e-collar and first lesson. She was AWESOME!!! Very patient, thorough and knowledgeable. Great energy and very easy to learn from. We are looking forward to practicing our lessons with our crazy border collie! We need all the luck we can get l - but we have a great chance at success because of Jessica!

    Jessica and the rest of the team are awesome trainers! Jessica is teaching us how to train our two year old Corgis and it's going great! It's amazing how fast the dogs are learning! (and us too) We're so glad we are going with Dog Training Elite for our obedience training.

    We had a great time with Chris! Our dog loves him, and always responded positively to his training and guidance. Chris was energetic, engaging and had a lot of important insight for us to learn from. We hope to have a strong bond with our family pet and look forward to more enrichment with our pup in the future. This training program exceeded our expectations and was an excellent first time program for him!

    I can’t say enough great things about Dog Training Elite! They completely transformed my dog, Tippy, into a well-behaved and confident pup. Before training, Tippy was overly excited on walks and struggled with basic commands. After just a few sessions, the difference was night and day! The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to understand Tippy’s unique personality. They taught me how to reinforce training at home, which made a huge difference. Now, Tippy is a joy to take on walks, listens to commands, and is so much happier overall. If you’re looking for professional, results-driven training, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They truly care about you and your dog. Thank you for helping Tippy become her best self!

    I cannot even begin to express how strongly I recommend Dog Training Elite Oklahoma for any training needs. We are using them for our service dog training. Their love for the animal and it's potential is amazing. They have been so gentle with Rose during her service dog training and in just 3 weeks she is a completely different dog! We can't wait to she her live up to her full potential and have a purpose after service dog training.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite! From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and so patient with my dog. We signed up for the obedience training program, and the results have been amazing. My dog used to pull on the leash constantly, bark at the door, and never listened to basic commands, but now he’s walking calmly by my side, ignoring distractions, and following every instruction like a pro! The entire team provided support and guidance every step of the way, from in-home training through group class training. We always felt confident, thanks to their expertise. If you’re looking for dog training in Southwest Florida, look no further than Dog Training Elite! They’re truly the best. 🐾

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.
