French Bulldog Personality


Read More
Read Less

French bulldogs are known for being even-tempered and playful. Because of their size, they can do well in smaller homes and apartments, making them an ideal companion for city life.

Two of the best qualities of French bulldogs are their adaptability and ability to get along well with children. However, while these traits may be innate, it's still an excellent idea to enroll a dog in training to help build their socialization skills and teach them basic commands for safety.

French bulldogs instinctively bark to alert you when strangers are at the door. Training can teach your dog how to respond appropriately to avoid excessive barking and alerts whenever the mail or delivery man drops off a package. This training can be vital in an apartment setting to maintain peace in a shared complex. While they may not need much exercise due to their small size and stature, training your dog to walk on a leash is still a good idea. Walking is a great opportunity for your dog to get outside and discover new things. Your dog may make new friends with both people and canines.

Training can help make this experience safe and fun for you and your dog. Because French bulldogs are friendly, you'll want to train them to socialize appropriately with people and dogs that may be less open to meeting new friends.

As your Frenchie will probably enjoy ample time indoors, it's also great to train them to communicate when they need to go potty. Accidents happen, and dogs often need to be trained on what to do when they need to go to avoid having them.

    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.
  • Breck Tavenner

    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!

    Today we graduated . Bear loves Annabelle so much . It was such a great experience !! We will miss this so much ❤️

    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.

Safety and Health

Read More

French bulldogs don't require much mental stimulation, making them easy pets around the house. Regardless, it’s still vital that they know what parts of your home are safe to explore and what areas they need to avoid.

Proper training can help your dog learn to be alone and relieve stress when you are away from home. You'll also want to be confident your dog won't run out into busy streets when you open the front door, so sit and down commands are vital.

Sit, come, heel, and down are also vital to their safety around water. Because of their short legs and body shape, French bulldogs cannot swim without assistance. They must listen to you whenever you are around pools, lakes, or oceans.

Because of their face shape, French bulldogs can also be prone to breathing problems. Training can help to take the stress out of vet visits. It can also help you identify times when your pet is communicating that something is wrong so that you can help support their health and well-being.

Choosing the proper French bulldog training in Columbia, SC should offer the support you need to work with your dog. At Dog Training Elite, we focus on keeping your dog safe and happy. We use an electronic vibrating collar rather than a shock collar to reinforce concepts and keep them focused. We want dogs to feel supported and excited to learn concepts to help them lead a happy and safe life with you! Investing in quality training and socialization will help you and your dog navigate new environments together.
