French Bulldog Personality


Read More

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.

    If you want an extremely professional, knowledgeable and talented animal training organization to support you and your animal for service needs, Dog Training Elite is the way to go. Loren set up the training schedule to fit my calendar. Jason, who trained my dog, very quickly understood my dog's personality and trainability and what he needed to work on to become a true service dog and to pass the service dog test. I should have found Dog Training Elite years ago!

    My dog has had MAJOR improvements after working with Illiana!!! I used to be so anxious about how he was towards people and I no longer feel that way!! Illiana will customize the training to be exactly what you need, she’s great!!! My dog Finn is visibly less stressed whenever people come to the house!

    Never ever did i think i would be able to train my dog!!! I tried to follow online programs and gave up every time, then I heard about Dog Training Elite. I called them, they were super friendly and informative and they suggested a consult. Best decision i have made! Looking back at the first meeting I think there was skepticism on both sides whether my dog could be service trained. I started working with Illiana who is extremely positive, friendly, patient and definitely knows her dogs. By the second session she instantly saw the potential my dog Poppy had. She thoughtfully and patiently taught us together, her detail and focus made it not only easy but fun and I now have a fully trained service dog. They make it so easy as they come to your home, they bring you into group settings and they work with you until you and your dog have succeeded. I cannot say enough great things about Illiana and the team, like i said, I was a huge skeptic and was proven wrong.....and it happened so much faster then i could ever imagine. Thank you so much, i am beyond grateful!!!

    I worked with Dog Training Elite to train my 2 year old corgi into a service dog. Jason did a wonderful job of helping Bagel (and especially me) of reaching that goal. At the start of the program, Bagel was not disciplined on leash. Within a few sessions with Jason and our dedicated practice, he was a completely different dog. Jason gave me and my family the confidence and offered constructive feedback to help us improve. The training has allowed me to form a stronger connection with my pup, and his new service dog status is a great asset to me. Just recently, we completed a trans-Atlantic flight to Europe, and Bagel was a model citizen. I would recommend Jason and his team to anyone in the CT area. His sessions are done with care and intention. They also build a strong community through the group training sessions.

    Elite Dog Training has been an incredible experience for both me and my dog, Ryder. After just a few months of training, Ryder successfully passed the therapy dog test, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Jason is an outstanding trainer - knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in both the dogs and their owners. He took the time to understand Ryder’s personality and tailored the training to help him succeed, building confidence, focus, and reliability every step of the way. Loren does an amazing job managing the program and keeping everything organized and supportive from start to finish. The communication, structure, and encouragement made the entire process smooth and motivating. Elite Dog Training exceeded my expectations, and I’m incredibly grateful for the role they played in helping Ryder reach this milestone. If you’re serious about professional, results-driven training, look no further than Elite Dog Training! 🐾❤️😊

    Working with Jason at Dog Training Elite has been awesome! We started when Max our Shepard was about 1 1/2 and now he is almost 3. Jason and Illiana are both patient and encouraging and have given us great instruction. Visits to our home in New Haven help them to meet us where we are at. We appreciate the mix of the individual training along with group classes. We are grateful to be lifelong customers!

    So far my husband and I have really enjoyed our experience with D.T.E. CT! We have no negative concerns to express. The team is knowledgeable, kind, and professional and they are always willing to answer any and all questions that you may have. They have all made this process as easy and as pain free as possible, while also making it a fun and rewarding experience for us and our pup, Maddie!

    I recently used Dog Training Elite of Southern CT for my dog’s obedience training and was impressed by the knowledgeable, patient, and effective approach of the trainer. The sessions were encouraging and the staff were friendly throughout, making each class enjoyable and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the clear guidance that I could use at home, which helped improve my dog’s behavior quickly. The entire experience felt professional and supportive, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dog training near me.

    We highly recommend Dog Training Elite of Southern Connecticut!!! Jason and Illiana are amazing instructors that are very patient and very informative. They are very good at providing a comfortable environment that facilitates training for both dogs and owners. Sosa has come along way after the training with Jason and Illiana. The training has made her a more calm and sweet girl. We can’t say enough about how the school’s training program works when the dog and the owner put in the time. I think it’s also important to give a shout out to Loren who is very helpful with informative emails on upcoming training sessions and general administrative assistance.

    Dog Training Elite of Southern CT is great! Iliana was knowledgeable, patient, and kind as well as reliable and the results were effective. My puppy progressed in obedience training faster than I expected and the sessions felt fun and supportive. Highly recommend this trainer for anyone looking for dog obedience training or puppy training classes.

    The trainers are very patient and always remember key challenges of the dogs even in group classes. They make sure you’re comfortable with and understand the chosen training technique. And they never make you feel as though you’re doing something wrong.

    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!

French Bulldog Training in Connecticut

Safety and Health

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 Connecticut 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.
