My husband, 15 year old daughter and I are planning a 13 night trip to Italy in July. We are thinking 4 nights Rome, 3 nights Florence (including day trip to Tuscany), 3 nights Dolomites, 3 nights Venice. Is this doable without feeling like we are rushing through everything? Is this the right order to travel, or should we travel to Dolomites from Venice instead or do the trip Backwards? I am assuming trains are the easiest? Is there a better means of transportation? Also, what area is best to stay in Dolomites? Thanks for the help!

It really depends on your Dolomite specifics and how much time you would give up for that in transit. I am unfamiliar with that area but others can propose options. You could definitely insert something in Tuscany instead and it would be really efficient being between Florence and Rome. You can stick to all train/bus or choose to rent a car for the rural Tuscany portion.
Be sure to check the flights--often but not always flights out of Venice are super early and it's a pain, so you will often see the suggestion to start in Venice and end in Rome.
