Boxer Dog Training in Connecticut

Boxer dogs have long been a favorite among families, and for good reason. These attractive, muscular dogs are known for their loyal and loving nature, making them an ideal family pet.

However, their intimidating appearance can be quite misleading to those unfamiliar with the breed. Unlike dog breeds like bulldog or pit bull that are known to be more aggressive, the boxer is a playful and strong dog but is not considered to be aggressive. Professionals that work with this breed suggest that aggression in a boxer is an indication of poor training. Dog Training Elite's Connecticut Boxer puppy and adult training is a crucial step for pet owners to take seriously.

The Importance of Proper Training for Boxers

When you become a pet owner, you’re responsible for that animal's well-being. This obviously includes the feeding and nurturing of the animal, but no less important is the training the animal receives. A well-trained pet is one that has learned how to live cohesively with their environment and their family. This is a requisite for a pet’s happiness — and the happiness of their owners as well. With 40 years of experience in breed specific training, Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provides an in-home training program that is ideal for both pets and their owners.

At Dog Training Elite we believe in classical conditioning training. This kind of training is particularly good for the loyal and affectionate boxer breed. We want to establish a firm but kind dominance between the owner and their boxer. Boxers need to know their owner is in charge, but this can be asserted with consistent and balanced training. Our approach is sure to provide sustained obedience and encourage bonding between the pet and their owner.

    Dog Training Elite and trainer Justin have been terrific to work with and I have seen very positive results with my dog. My dog and I have worked with Jason over several 1-1 sessions and his training is clear and easily applied. His feedback to me has been very helpful in addressing issues such as barking, reactivity, leash pulling and basic obedience. In addition to 1-1 sessions, the group training sessions have been great opportunities to expose my dog to other dogs in a controlled environment. These sessions also reinforce the training received in individual sessions. My dog loves Jason and responds very well to him, and I appreciate his patient approach to me as I learn to address issues with my dog. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and Jason to receive positive results with your dog!

    I would like to provide a five-star review to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional training program offered by Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. My dog, Khloe, underwent training in Norwalk, CT, where she required obedience training prior to her service dog training. Jason, the trainer, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and expertise, effectively guiding my dog to successfully complete all necessary tasks for this process. The transformation in my dog’s behavior and performance has been significant. I am truly grateful for my decision to choose this company for my dog’s training, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you, Jason, for all that you have done for my dog.

    Wonderful experience working with Jason. Our dog, Ruby, learned quickly and looked forward to seeing Jason each week. He explained everything very clearly and made sure we were comfortable with the training to be done on our own during the week. In addition, he always says to call with any questions or concerns so you fell completely confident as you guide your dog to living their best trained life. We Thank Dog Training Elite for a great training experience for us and our dog!

    Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was amazing. Jason, our trainer, was very knowledgeable and patient, working with each member of the family to make sure we understood the obedience training methods and psychology. The whole team was great when our dear puppy broke his leg and we had to work around his healing process. I also really appreciate how Jason would respond to texts and give us some extra things to try, like when our puppy regressed and started pooping in the house. Thankfully, Jason helped us turn that around within a few days! Kepler, our puppy, looooooves Trainer J, too. And he is a very happy, (mostly) obedient seven month old pup now after working Elite! We all look forward to some upcoming group sessions with Elite!

    Jason was beyond superb. He never became annoyed or irritated by my failure to get my dog to do as instructed, even when I needed 6-7 times before the dog obeyed. He never made me feel incompetent-in fact, he instilled me with confidence that I could get the dog to obey. And I did! Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite of Southern CT was nothing short of amazing! We originally sought out their help here in Newtown for diabetic alert training for our dog, Lucky, but we got so much more. Thanks to the dedication and personalized training from Jason, Lucky is now able to go everywhere with us, without any issues. ​We recently took a trip and received so many compliments on how well-behaved Lucky was. He was incredibly responsive to all his commands, including come, heal, sit, and lay. He stayed right by our side, even in new environments. Lucky was able to join in on all of our family activities, including going to restaurants, the beach, and even an arcade center! He laid patiently at my feet during meals and relaxed on a yoga mat at the beach. Dog Training Elite has truly given us the gift of being able to take our dog everywhere we go while knowing he is taking care of his responsibilities as a diabetic service alert dog. We are so grateful for all the work Jason put into training Lucky and for all the support provided by the entire team. We highly recommend them!

    I adopted a dog that resided in a shelter for 6 yrs. Roy came from an abusive home and has many fears, anxiety and mistrust of people. I researched training facilities and chose Dog Training Elite of Southern CT. I liked the several levels of programs offered and the write-ups on the trainers. I've worked with Jason for the in-home sessions and have been very pleased with all the information and exercises he has provided to decrease the anxiety/fear/mistrust level. Within a few weeks of training my neighbors started noticing a difference in Roy. I'm looking foward to the group training sessions to continue my dog's journey on learning how to be a dog in the real world. The team at Dog Training Elite of Southern CT provided top-notch training classes, delivering expert guidance and encouragement that will help my pup thrive with a seamless transition into correct canine behavior. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern CT

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite of Southern CT, you gain access to our specialized training services tailored to fit your needs.

Here are some essential training tips for Boxers.

When training a boxer puppy the first consideration is socialization both with other dogs and with people. When socialized properly a boxer can be a friendly and social pet.

Boxers are athletic and strong dogs that can weigh from 50-80lbs. For this reason, it is important to have a dog that will quickly respond to commands. A boxer that can do the following is one that will be easier to keep safe as well as be a safer pet to have around.

  1. Listen when their owner calls
  2. Heeds requests to sit or heel
  3. Knows not to jump up on people
This, of course, is a skill of utmost importance to all pet owners. The boxer breed is known to be a clean animal that is amenable to being potty trained when given the right kind of instruction.
