What Role Does Breed Play?


Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training your dog, understanding their breed can be crucial for achieving the best results. While all dogs generally share qualities like loyalty, kindness, and intelligence, specific breeds often have unique traits that influence their behavior and learning style. For instance, dogs bred for working roles, such as Border Collies or German Shepherds, tend to be more energetic and intelligent, excelling in tasks that challenge their minds and bodies. On the other hand, companion breeds like Bulldogs or Shih Tzus may have a more laid-back demeanor, requiring a different approach that emphasizes patience and balanced training.

At Dog Training Elite in Boston Metro, we recognize the importance of considering these breed-specific tendencies when developing a training plan. Our approach tailors methods to suit your dog’s natural instincts and behaviors, whether they are a high-energy herder, a protective guardian, or a relaxed companion. This personalized strategy ensures that your dog reaches their full potential, creating a well-behaved and happy companion that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with dog training elite. They have been amazing to work with. Specifically Marshall has really blown us away. His understanding of dogs has been top notch and his ability to read and train dogs has our friends asking who trained our dog all the time. We are so grateful to DTE and specifically Marshall. 10/10

    We tried other trainers before DTE and there is no comparison with the work DTE team does. After the first session my puppy was already feeling more confident and responding to the commands. We appreciate the approach of Jocy and Alaina. They were excellent to Niko and us. They pushed us to learn and do our best to train Niko. We just loved the program. I also want to highlight the group class. We attended one so far but we loved and it is very helpful for Niko. Thank you so much!!

    Dog Training Elite has been nothing short of incredible. I honestly can’t say enough good things about their team and the results they’ve helped us achieve. When we started, my dog had plenty of areas that needed work—but through their structured training, patience, and clear guidance, everything changed. They don’t just train your dog—they teach you how to communicate effectively, which made all the difference. The trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about your dog’s success. What really stands out is the transformation. My dog has gone from needing direction to being confident, obedient, and reliable in a variety of environments. Thanks to Dog Training Elite, he’s now at the point where he’s ready to take a therapy dog test—which I never would have imagined before starting. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This program works. It’s an investment that pays off in every aspect of your dog’s behavior and your relationship with them. Highly recommend.

    My daughter and I absolutely love Kayle! She is clear in her directions, and will even change how she says it if my daughter doesn’t understand. Without even asking she will explain why/reason to whatever she is working on with my daughter and our dog. She is an excellent source of knowledge and so sweet

    My dog Cannoli had amazing results with Dog Training Elite. He is about a year and a half we had already done training on basics but he was still very timid around new people and reactive at dogs we passed by on walks. With Dog Training Elite we had multiple trainers work with us over his first few sessions which was a great way to get him to overcome his fears of new people and people entering our home. For the second half of his private session we worked with Rich who was amazing with Cannoli. He was patient when Cannoli needed, he saw immediate potential with Cannoli. Rich really personalized the experience to Cannoli, his needs, and pushed him past his comfort zone in a safe and exciting way that has allowed Cannoli to become a confident dog. Having the trainers personal dog join some of the sessions was a great opportunity for us to overcome reactivity and was a great tool for Cannoli. Now we feel confident moving into the group classes!

    Jason and Syanne have been amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. They are working with my family and I to train my puppy Finn to be a psychiatric service dog. I’ve been with them for about a year now. They both never fail to make me laugh and make training fun. As someone with a lot of anxiety, they do such a great job at making a fun and safe environment. Jason is always available to answer questions and always answers in such detail and I have learned so much from him. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I’m so grateful my family and I chose this training with them and I would highly recommend them for any training with your dog! It’s always so fun to see everyone and their dogs at group class too!!

We received thoughtful, personalized feedback at every step, along with practical training strategies that were easy to understand and apply at home. The process gave us and our dog so much more confidence, and we now feel like we have real tools to handle situations that used to feel overwhelming.
