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.

    The team has been outstanding from start to finish. Their professionalism and dedication made the process seamless, from helping me find the right dog to guiding us through training from 10 weeks to 15 months. My Service Dog now performs with near-perfect accuracy, and thanks to their expertise, I’ve been able to move away from the medication I once relied on. I’m incredibly grateful for this team and all they’ve done to help my dog and me reach this level of success.

    We have a 10 month old English Setter. We have had 5 sessions with Justin so far and it has been an amazing experience. We have learned so much and our dog Penny has too! We did our first lesson out in public yesterday and I was so nervous but Justin met me at the store and took control of her because he knew I was nervous and she did great! I feel much more confident in my own ability to handle her in public now which will open up so many possibilities for us to travel with her and experience new things. I HIGHLY recommend Justin and his crew! We did another week long board and train program and it just wasn’t effective but having Justin come and train us all in our environment has been a game changer for us. Justin also brings his dogs to help socialize and train and offers group classes on weekends too!

    Justin was promptly on time. He explained everything thoroughly, very professional had handouts so you could visually see what you were getting along with the pricing list. His two dogs were fantastic and hopefully we’ll have a similar result by putting in the work.

    Working with Dog Training Elite and Laird has truly been a delightful experience for us. We couldn't be happier with how she has been so kind, knowledgeable, and loving towards our Akita. With her extensive experience, Laird has shared invaluable advice and guidance that has truly helped us in raising our dog.

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.
