What Role Does Breed Play?


Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training your dog, understanding their breed can be crucial for achieving the best results. While all dogs generally share qualities like loyalty, kindness, and intelligence, specific breeds often have unique traits that influence their behavior and learning style. For instance, dogs bred for working roles, such as Border Collies or German Shepherds, tend to be more energetic and intelligent, excelling in tasks that challenge their minds and bodies. On the other hand, companion breeds like Bulldogs or Shih Tzus may have a more laid-back demeanor, requiring a different approach that emphasizes patience and balanced training.

At Dog Training Elite Northern Utah, we recognize the importance of considering these breed-specific tendencies when developing a training plan. Our approach tailors methods to suit your dog’s natural instincts and behaviors, whether they are a high-energy herder, a protective guardian, or a relaxed companion. This personalized strategy ensures that your dog reaches their full potential, creating a well-behaved and happy companion that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    I am a Veteran with PTSD and some other injuries. My young German Shepherd, very well trained service working dog, became reactive to other dogs after we experienced a number of unprovoked attacks by other dogs. The original trainers wanted me to give up on him because he would lunge and bark if another dog was in our vicinity. He never followed through or bit. I was unwilling to do this without getting another opinion and giving him a chance with more training toward rehabilitation. Fortunately, we moved to Utah and I found Elite Dog Training of Northern Utah. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am. These folks are not only amazingly skilled trainers, they are extremely caring and supportive. Because of their willingness to work with us, I have become a much better, more relaxed handler, and Max, after some private and then group classes, is once again comfortable and trusting. We go everywhere together and frequently receive compliments on his behavior. He’s an amazing working dog once again because of the skill and caring of the trainers at Elite Dog Training of Northern Utah.

    We have used this company to train two dogs and they have been excellent. We would recommend them to anyone.

    These guys are the best. I have had 3 dogs go through their programs. They ingrain a behavior into the dog, then it’s up to you to enforce it. Which can sound hard, but they are with you every step of the way. You can reach out and get extra classes if needed. And this is on top of the weekly group classes that they offer. These guys made having a service animal possible.

    This is THE BEST dog training program I've ever used! I have litter mate black labs. They were 3 years old when I started with Elite. Before Elite I used 3 other training programs. Online, board & train, and in-home training. My pups had a good foundation to start from. Elite took this into consideration and built our program and price around where my dogs were at and what I wanted. Now my pups are certified service animals and I couldn't be happier. I could've saved myself thousands by starting with the right program. I will never use anyone else. All the dog handlers love my pups and treat me and them with respect. I always feel heard, supported, and prioritized. Talking about support... It's a lot. In center training, in-home training, group classes, service animal classes, phone calls, and timely communications. Elite is now part of our family. In fact, my whole family is with Elite. 7 dogs in total between me, my sister, and my mom. We're called a pack now lol. Elite handles all of our dogs and separate needs, which is a big ask. Truly, this is the best program we've ever participated in. You won't regret reaching out to them. I know I'm glad I did!!

    Dan taught an amazing barn hunt clinic 11/16/25 to our trial group. After 1 trial run with the rats, he was able to give individual feedback to both handler & pup. He is for sure a national champion!

    Dog training elite, northern utah was the best thing that I've done. I love my dogs and putting in the money and effort is worth every penny. They have private training sessions to individualize to you and your dog's needs. I also love group classes where we get to interact with other dogs and owners and challenge and train your dog in a safe space. 💯 recommend!! All trainers are wonderful but Trevor was my trainer and I'm so grateful for the confidence and genuine care he gave me and my Griz. Griz is a big ole German Shepard with some fear reactivity mostly around other dogs, but some people as well. While we still have work to do, the difference is night and day. He and I can go out and a find joy and peace in our outings instead of fear. I honestly can't thank them enough.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Incredible Transformation! We brought our sassy Pomsky to Dog Training Elite first for obedience training and later for service dog training—and the transformation was almost instant. I could not be more thrilled with the results. The improvement in her skills, focus, and confidence has been amazing. Every single trainer we’ve worked with genuinely loves what they do and treats every dog as if it were their own. The ongoing support, group classes, and follow-up have made all the difference. You can tell this company truly cares about both the dogs and their owners. I recommend Dog Training Elite over and over again—they’ve completely exceeded our expectations and given us a better-behaved, happier dog (and owners!).

    Dog Training Elite Northern Utah... has been the most fullfiling experience. Our dogs have been so much better behaved. We still have some issues but once the command has been given to the dog even if it still takes a minute for it to register; it is so much better than before. We were getting frustrated with the dogs not listening. Now its day and night with them. Oh and the best thing besides that, is the employees who work for them. They are outstanding, super awesome, and the absolute best trainers I've worked with. I had one before but with that one it was hurry and get the training done. These guys will answer with empathy, professionalism and understanding. They are a joy to be around. The money spent was the best investment I have made. Thank you and God bless them with their knowledge and safety.

    I have worked with Elite dogs for almost two years. I needed a mobility dog because I have little upper body strength and walk with assisted devices. I have a 1.5 yo male lab who is bred for service. He is incredible and with the help of Elite dogs giving me back my independence. The end goal is to have him on a harness to hold me up and to fetch items for me. To that end I sought the help from Elite dogs. It’s a great program, very comprehensive, combining group play with other dogs and private lessons as well. The owner participates. The trainers are highly qualified and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this group. Barbara

    From Chaos to Calm: A True Dog Transformation ✨ Just two months ago, I was at my breaking point. My 10-month-old Chow Chow, Appa, was completely out of control—biting, mouthing, humping, and even injuring people. Two of my houseguests actually left my home bleeding. I couldn’t handle him, and honestly, I was scared. Scared for my friends, my family, and myself. I loved my dog, but I was ready to give up. Then came Colleen from Dog Training Elite. From the very first session, she brought the right tools, the right mindset, and most importantly, real hope. She didn’t just train Appa—she taught me how to lead him with confidence and calm authority. Fast forward eight weeks… and I hardly recognize my dog. Appa now sits, heels, comes, and places on command. He listens. He respects boundaries. Just this week, neighbors literally applauded as they watched him obey commands in a high-distraction environment. The best part? He’s still Appa—sweet, affectionate, quirky—but now he’s safe, social, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. If you’re struggling and feel like your dog is beyond help—don’t give up. Call Colleen. She helped me discover the incredible dog I always knew was inside mine. 🐾💙 #DogTrainingElite #ChowChow #FromAggressionToAffection #DogTransformation #GratefulDogMom #AppaTheGoodBoy

    I am very pleased with the results from having our puppy attend Dog Training Elite. I honestly was hesitant at first because our pup can be a lot to handle and I didn't think she'd adjust to being okay with being away from home during the week training sessions. However, the staff accommodated her wonderfully, loved her as if she were their own dog and I'm amazed by how well mannered and trained she is now!!! I highly recommend them. Very polite, professional and above all kind to your beloved pet.

    Dog Training Elite Northern Utah Training Center, has the greatest trainers. They are compassionate. understanding, and loves your pet. Melachi (mini Ausie) worked beautifully with the trainers. On a side note: We used them when they use to be Elite. John was our trainer and he helped me train our Ausie Barrion to be my mothers service dog. He was wonderful and loved Barrion. I would recommend DTENUTC to anyone who would like to have their pets trained. Our pictures This Melachi, and taking a nap after a training session LOL.

    I have had a great time working with DTE-NU and looking forward to continue working with them. Not only have they done amazing with training and service, they also are very understanding and flexible. I went through a rough financial situation and they were kind enough to work with me with no penalties. It literally made a WORLD of difference in a very stressful part of my life. I have a very well trained service pup all thanks to them.
