Border Collie Training in Sarasota, FL

Kelsie is the best. Enzo and I are so fortunate to have her take us through this. Shed enthusiastic and helpful with a bright smile on her face. We really enjoy our lessons! BThank you!

Renee’ has done a fantastic job with my dog. She is very experienced and her passion for training shows in her communication. I am very happy so far

Kelsie is just the BEST Trainer! Worked on verbal commands today! Lots of tools now in my tool belt!!!

I wanted to share some feedback regarding our experience with Jessica. She has been excellent in helping us train our dog, Olive, on necessary commands. Given that Olive has a medical condition, Jessica was instrumental in helping us achieve a calm and relaxed pup. We recently attended our first group class, and Olive did a great job considering it was her first time. I wouldn't have felt comfortable or confident without Jessica’s knowledge and experience. We still have a ways to go, but I am truly thankful for her support and the support of Dog Training Elite,

A heartfelt thank-you to Renee Juliano for the two full days she spent working with Buddy at the Elite Training Center. She helped him build confidence in situations that mirror everyday life and provided clear, step-by-step instructions with accompanying videos so I can continue the work at home. I also want to recognize Kelsie, whose excellent training over the past four months has given Buddy such a strong foundation. Her patience, guidance, and encouragement have meant so much to both of us. These two days with Renee built on that foundation and marked another important step in Buddy’s journey. I am grateful to both trainers for their care and dedication—and for helping me learn alongside him!

Do it. I used Walker K9 Training to take and train my 9 month old male Cane Corso, Rocco. It was in May. I interviewed many dog trainers, and immediately decided to use Walker K9 Training. Chad is a police officer K9 trainer and his wife Kelly is just as knowledgeable and awesome. I knew with a powerful Cane Corso, that I would be an irresponsible owner if I didn't have him professionally trained and would struggle to control his power, etc. I wanted trainers that specialize in powerful breeds, down to super tiny dogs bc I also have two tiny teacup chihuahuas. They're awesome and humble and love what they do. When I walk Rocco in my development, and practice his leash commands...people come out of their homes or stop while driving and compliment how well trained he is and ask who trained him. Highly recommend. They're very willing to help and visit if needed long after the fact. I also now board him there whenever I need, and it's far more affordable vs boarding at my vet. Plus he gets their training refreshers. I've given their info to my vet office who asked about Rocco's training, and anyone that asks.

Today we graduated from one on one training. On to group sessions next week. I couldn't be more pleased with the results of Jessica's training. I've been diligent with the practice too. My little Corky is so smart and I will reinforce the training Jessica has provided.

We met Jessica as part of a consultation. She is very patient and explained everything clearly. We decided to go ahead with the training based on our experience with her. Updating this review after our first session. Still 5 stars! Jessica ran through the first few basic behaviors and made sure we understood and were doing it correctly so we can continue practicing until the next session.

I have so much to say about Dog Training Southwest Elite. They have programs for your dog with highly caring trainers. My dog completed a two-week obedience training with two wonderful Trainers Renee and Alisa. Every day they will send you a video of your dog's training, also their play time, it is "Hilarious". They are so Professional and Caring. My wife and I found their day camp is well above that we could ever expect. Their support is ongoing, and you will feel like family. Renee is AWESOME!

Kelsie is awesome. She is personable, articulate and an excellent teacher and trainer.

Very informative and not rushed consultation with Denise

Dog Training Elite is an amazing group to work with you and your dog. They came in an assessed my dog and today we started training. I have a brain injury and the trainer Jessica worked with my dog and me, her knowledge and kindness was so great. Knowing my limitations she made sure that I understood everything she was teaching. Next my dog started his daily classes with Renee and she is amazing, she has my dog all day and when I pick him up we go over our homework. She also provides videos to help with his training. Then there are the group classes that you sign up for that help you continue with your dog training journey. These classes are so great for keeping your training on track. All of the trainers are amazing. I highly recommend this group, they are the complete package!

Jessica is the best! She's calm, direct, knowledgeable, encouraging, so sweet! Our dog Poppy loves her and we do too 🥰

Jessica did a great job with the assessment of my dog. Very thorough and gave great feedback as to what we needed to do. Kelsie was great we talked about the things I needed and she set up a training program. Look forward to working with her regularly.

We absolutely love and appreciate this fantastic business. Kind caring and understanding. Nova has learned so much. She is now attending group sessions on Saturdays

All we can say is Jessica is one FANTASTIC dog trainer!!!! Tony and Susan Amorose.

Jessica is fantastic! She works with both you and your dog to help you understand what needs to be accomplished in the task youre asking of your dog. She takes her time and she answers and questions, shes also really good with clarification if youre slightly confused. She's also really amazing with the dog. I would highly recommend her and Dog Training Elite undoubtedly to anyone.

Thank you Vets Helping Heroes organization program for sponsoring my dog sailor to be trained by Dog Training Elite Southwest Florida to become my Service Dog. As a Disabled Navy veteran their training was Elite the very best. I also would like to send out a special shout out to Renee Juliano, who has been my dog sailor and myself trainer throughout his whole training process from a puppy to finally passing his Service Dog exam.

Just always a good experience! Thank you. Just awesome!

Spend the money. Do the training Renee is so good and knowledgeable.
