Popular Service Dog Breeds

Finding a service dog that fits your individual needs is important, especially for military veteran support. While most dogs can be trained to become service dogs, a few breeds stand out due to their personalities and inherent traits.

Here are a few of the most popular service dog breeds:

Labrador Retrievers: Labradors are intelligent, versatile, and eager to please, making them ideal for PTSD service dogs. Their trainability allows them to excel in roles like guide dogs, mobility support, and emotional support, making them highly adaptable for veterans.
Golden Retrievers: Golden Retrievers are known for their calm, gentle nature and strong work ethic. They are excellent at providing mobility assistance and emotional support, especially for veterans with PTSD, due to their patient and loving temperament.
German Shepherds: German Shepherds are strong, loyal, and highly intelligent, making them excellent service dogs. Their protective instincts and trainability allow them to assist with mobility, search and rescue, and provide emotional support for veterans.
Malinois: Belgian Malinois are known for their deep loyalty and intelligence. Malinois are not for everyone due to their energy and drive, but for retired veterans who appreciate discipline, structure, and a deep connection, they can be life-changing companions.

Our Veteran Service Dog Training in Cincinnati, OH

Read Less

Service dogs undergo extensive specialized training to perform their tasks and assist their owners. Our training process involves a combination of obedience training, task training, and public access training.

Obedience Training: This training focuses on teaching a dog basic commands, such as sit, down, heel, come, as well as proper leash manners and socialization skills.
Task Training: Task training is tailored to fit the needs of each individual. It involves teaching the dog to perform tasks that mitigate the person’s disability, such as retrieving items, opening doors, or providing deep pressure therapy.
Public Access Training: This type of training is crucial to ensure the dog remains calm, well-behaved, and non-disruptive in various public settings. This training includes exposure to different environments, distractions, and social interactions to provide a dog that can confidently navigate public spaces.

I’ve worked with Scott for about a month now, and it’s been time well spent. He’s a great trainer: calm, patient, and a fun personality dogs really respond to. We’re three sessions in, and it’s already made a big difference in my anxious GSD’s confidence, which is a huge relief to me. Excellent training philosophy!

Scott and Jen are AMAZING to work with. When they came to the house to meet us and evaluate my Neko, they took the time to get to know her, her personality, and listened to my concerns about Neko's behavior and my expectations about her training. Scott gave me a couple of tips and things to do with her that I started on following their initial visit. I could already see a change in her behavior. I was nervous about how Neko would act at our first group session, but her behavior had changed so much (for the better) that I actually cried tears of joy when it was over. I cannot thank both of them enough and am extremely grateful to them for their understanding, help, and support. You cannot go wrong with DTE!

We highly recommend Scott and Jenn at Dog Training Elite! We started training with them when our puppy, Hudson, was very young, and the progress he's made has been amazing. Hudson is now working toward his service dog certification, and we couldn't have asked for better trainers. Between the one-on-one sessions and group classes, Scott and Jenn gave both Hudson and me the tools and confidence to succeed. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping both the dog and the owner. We are so grateful for everything they've done and highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for exceptional training.

Dog Training Elite with Scott and Jen has been an amazing experience for both my dog Baxter and myself. Since starting with DTE, Baxter has experienced leaps and bounds with his training in both basic obedience but also for certification. They are very knowledgeable, personable, and ensures the owner has the right tools and tricks to help them and their dog succeed.

We were preventing our Golden Retriever from living her best life: she has a STRONG drive to visit with any human or dog within 100 yards. Her urges put her in many unsafe situations with moving traffic and uncomfortable non-dog lovers. After an unsuccessful session of obedience school, we took a leap of faith investing in DTE. We are so glad we did, and after a few short weeks with the team, our dog's potential became so obvious that we pursued a therapy certification. Now we have the ability to bring joy to others in nursing homes and schools while allowing our dog to do her heart's desire: visit with others. People are amazed at her behavior and compliment us often. And, I no longer worry about her darting across the street on our daily 1 mile off-leash walks! The investment was SO worth it!

Dog Training Elite helped us so much with our reactive dog. I was so blown away that we got results so quickly. Wish I would've done this sooner

Dog Training Elite (Scott and Jen) are truly exceptional. They are knowledgeable, down-to-earth, practical, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire training process. We just completed their puppy courses and now feel confident that our puppy has a strong foundation for the next stage of training. What sets them apart is not only their expertise, but also their kindness, patience, and genuine care for both the dogs and their owners. They are trustworthy, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. Every session was organized, helpful, and tailored in a way that made training feel manageable and successful. I truly can’t say enough positive things about Scott, Jen, and the services they provide. We are so grateful for everything we learned and highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for high-quality, effective dog training.

Scott has been a great trainer to work with and is willing to take the time to work through things to help me get it right when I work with Toby. I have noticed an overall improvement and feel more confident on the work I am doing between sessions.

Scott was absolutely amazing! Patient, kind, and knowledgeable. My dog had a biting incident and while most would've thought this dog needs major help, Scott met with him and saw my dog just needed a few minor corrections and not some overly expensive, drawn out training program. Couldn't recommend someone better!

Fantastic experience with Scott and Jen! Helping us take back the control of our middle aged dogs at our own home where the behaviors are seen naturally. No boarding or over charging, honest and fair estimates. And giving you and your dog their full attention at every session, moving at the pace you are comfortable with. It’s never too late to teach your old dogs new tricks with their help!

Great start today - from crazy to calm in a short time. Toby & I have lots to learn but it seems possible now.

Cannot be more thankful to have found Dog Training Elite and Scott and Jen. After some bad interactions left Walter on edge, nervous, and reactive, Scott and Jen gave me the tools to help build Walter’s confidence and to help communicate with him when he’s nervous or on edge! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you, Scott and Jen, for offering professional dog training to all the happy dogs in our region. From the one-on-one training to the super fun group classes, you are keeping it challenging and fun. You always respond quickly to my questions with the details needed to keep me and my Cece dog on track. If a dog owner has goals for their beloved dog Scott and Jen dog training can help you accomplish your goals. Happy Training!!!

Scott and Jen are the best! Training was at our house and our toy poodle named Sophie bonded with Jen immediately. She was fantastic. The group classes are fun also and it's great to see her behave around other dogs. We all enjoy them! I can't recommend them enough. They are great people and great trainers!

My Daughter Elizabeth was 14 years old with special needs when she started with Dog training Elite. She started training her Dog Goose when he was just 12 weeks old. Scott and Jen have been wonderful not just as trainers but their patience and understanding with my daughter and her needs as well.They both are so knowledgeable! I can't recommend Dog Elite enough! 200% would recommend for all dog training needs.

Dog Training Elite has made me confident in life since the amazing training program for my service dog Paisley. Scott and Jen are so patient and had multiple methods of training for my girl to be a successful service dog. Their professionalism and techniques have enabled us to feel normal again. Dog Training Elite deserves all the praise in the world! Thank You, Holly and Paisley

This training program not only works it makes sense to both my dog and I! Yes most people can have relatively good dogs on their own. (I had 3) However-WOW, you don’t realize the true potential of your dog until you are in this program. I am definitely regretting skipping professional training with my first 3 pups!!! Augie and I are loving this program and can’t wait to start our journey as a therapy team.
