Our Positive Dog Training Method
in Sarasota / Venice

At Dog Training Elite of Southwest Florida, our dog training method is different. We focus on positive reinforcement paired with a personalized, in-home approach. This will empower you as the owner to be an integral part of the process for sustained dog obedience training in Sarasota / Venice.

Our approach is based on positive reinforcement. We help you and your dog achieve sustained, deep-rooted obedience.

We do not use punishments or shock collars. We pair positive reinforcement training with an electronic collar for superior results. An electronic collar is not a shock collar and does not harm the dog but is used to gain the dog's attention, just as you would with the tug of a leash. It is never used as a punishment for bad behavior.

Our Balanced Theory

We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

• Empowering Owners
• We empower Owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
• Personalized
• We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
• Environment Specific
• We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).

• Supportive
• We support Owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
• Involved
• We work with all members of the household.
• Simplified & Customized
• We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.

• Continued Training
• Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
• Lifetime Investment
• We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
• Satisfaction Ratings
• Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.
