What Sets Dobermans Apart?


Read More
Read Less

While all dogs are individuals with their own personalities and dispositions, many Dobermans share a few key traits. Those who know and love Dobermans appreciate their loyal nature. Often referred to as “velcro dogs,” Dobermans are devoted to their owners and will often follow their chosen humans throughout the house.

When trained correctly, Dobermans are incredibly obedient and protective. Intelligent and motivated to please, Dobermans were historically bred as work dogs and still make excellent therapy companions. Dobermans also tend to be energetic and need plenty of enrichment and attention.

    Justin & team have been amazing to work with!! We have one reactive GSD mix and one APBT that is just an over excited goofball, and Dog Training Elite is transforming them into well-behaved, obedient companions! Can't recommend them enough!

    Justin is wonderful and knowledgeable to his craft and gave us an amazing presentation and experience. Louie was just so adorable and obedient.

    They were so helpful! Even though I have to wait to use their services because we are about to move, they have trainers in my area that im moving to in NC! And he even gave me some free great advice to at least help until we can get a trainer in. My dog is being very aggressive near a gate, and they are the only place I found that was willing to help with a potentially aggressive dog. 10/10 would recommend!

    Debbie does a great job with our boys. She has patience and the steady hand that makes the boys understand what to do. She works well with us and I think we are all learning from her. Thanks Ms Debbie.

    As always Ms Debbie did a great job. The boys know she means business and she don't like no monkey stuff. She is firm and they respond well. I like that she is firm but also knows their personality.

    Justin was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. My Bentley loved him! He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. I look forward to working with Justin and the rest of the team, and I'm excited to see the final outcome! I highly recommend them!

    Mr. Robert is the best trainer around. Our Bernedoodle was only 3 months old when he started working with him and us, and you can see the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to ask for Robert when you call as the training is worth every penny!

    We had a really wonderful experience working with the team to train our dog, Charlie, as a service dog. We had the pleasure of working with Justin, Loghin, Amber, and Annabelle. The patience, flexibility, encouragement, and kindness from each of them was more than we could ask for. Having Charlie trained has been tremendously helpful for our family. And my son is so happy that he can now have Charlie with him all the time to help him feel calm and secure. Words just cannot express how grateful I am.

    Mrs. Debbie is an absolutely amazing dog trainer! I can’t say enough good things about her knowledge, patience, and dedication. In 3 weeks, I’ve seen incredible progress with my puppy. The difference in her behavior and focus has been amazing, and it’s all thanks to Mrs. Debbie’s training techniques and genuine care for both Azula and me. She takes the time to explain everything, answers questions, and makes sure you’re confident continuing the training at home. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and wants us to succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, encouraging, and gets real results, I highly recommend Mrs. Debbie. Azula has come so far in such a short time, and I’m excited to see how much more she continues to grow. Thank you, Mrs. Debbie, for everything you’ve done for Azula!

    Although my dog was well into the process of being trained before meeting Justin and his team, Dog Training Elite Midlands really helped me get Dezl where he needed to be and finish him out nicely as a Therapy Dog. I highly recommend Justin and his team as they are very patient and are very passionate about what they do.

    Justin and Debra are so patient, positive and encouraging with their guidance with me during training. I’m seeing such a big change in my 2 dogs. My female shepherd was not fond of men at all. She now responds positively to Justin. My Great Dane is more respectful and following commands regularly.

    Justin demonstrated and explained the methods and various techniques used. Very polite and pleasant and Louie Is Also I would like to add that most of our sessions have been led by Debbie. She shows great patience and affection with our two young dogs and has helped us understand their behavior and how to correct it. She is prompt and always reminds us to reach out if we have any questions.

    I’m applying so many great things I’ve learned from Annabelle towards the obedience of my dog, Sercy. Annabelle was very professional, had a great disposition in each training session, and proved to be an excellent instructor. Through her I‘ve gained the confidence I need to handle obedience and enjoy interacting with my dog for many years to come! A couple of years ago Sercy had boarding/training with another company. It proved unsuccessful because I wasn’t able to attend the sessions due to the travel distance. Now, with Dog Training Elite, we did it the right way!

    The team worked with us in a way we didn't anticipate. Annabelle , our regular awesome trainer was present. Justin, who did our initial assessment was here, and Rick, who we just met today. They worked with both my dogs to assess progress and additional needs mid way of training. One pup needs increased work with male humans. The other needs work on aggression, which was clarified today. We will work on skills already taught and demonstrated plus add the male trainer component. We look forward to more progress.

Why Train Dobermans?

Read More
Read Less

Dobermans have the potential to be incredible companions and content family dogs with the correct training and attention. Dobermans are eager to please and can help protect and keep you company. On the other hand, their energetic nature and high intelligence can also lead to destructive behavior without proper enrichment and direction. They are also large and powerful dogs that can easily become dangerous without guidance, just as all breeds can.

Dobermans thrive with enrichment and direction, and it is always safest to have a well-trained dog. Your dog, family, and community are best served by thorough training and ongoing exercise and enrichment. Having the peace of mind that your dog will obey your directions no matter the environment and circumstances is the best way to keep everyone safe.

When it comes to dog training, earlier is always better with Columbia Doberman puppy training, but that’s not to say that older dogs cannot or should not be trained. Especially with such an intelligent dog breed, training at any age is an excellent choice. Other signs that it’s time to start training include aggression toward other dogs or people, anxiety in public spaces, or poor recall.
