Boxer Dog Training in Fort Wayne, IN

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 Fort Wayne 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 Northeast Indiana 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.

    Nathan was a great trainer! Kovu was very reactive and unable to go on walks, did not listen well and could not be around other dogs. After our first session with Nathan, Kovu had already made great progress. By the last session Kovu was able to be on a walk outside with people & dogs walking by. He doesn’t try to run out our front door anymore and overall seems less anxious! Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

    Dog Training Elite was the best training group we’ve ever used. We’ve had dogs for 30 years and they are the best. Nathan, who was our trainer, was very thorough, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us what we were doing incorrectly, and trained us on the best techniques. We purchased the top package, and while it was a stretch for us, it was worth every dollar. It was easy to schedule training days and times to fit our schedule. Our dog looked forward to seeing Nathan every time!

    I am very pleased with Nathan and Dog Training Elite. I have a 19 month old Bassett Hound and the difference in her behavior is night and day. She used to jump on my grandkids when they would come over and chew up basically anything she could get her mouth on . Now, when anyone comes to the door, she goes to her place ( which is a dog cot) and stays there until released. We can go on walks now and she walks nicely in a heal right next to me among many other things she has learned Now we are able to enjoy our dog rather than constantly be frustrated and yell at her all of the time. I will say , when I first found out the cost, I was a little shocked. But now that our 1 on 1 training sessions are complete and I have all of the tools of training I need plus 24 group sessions remaining to use at my convenience, it was definitely well worth the cost!! I would highly recommend them !! Even my family and friends are amazed at the difference in how she behaves! Thank you very much Dog Training Elite for teaching me how to have an enjoyable, well behaved dog!!!🥰🐾

    I am SO happy with our dog, Hank’s, quick turn-around!! He really needed some help with his manners, and Nathan was SO good with him!! He also did such a great job of explaining everything he was doing, why he was doing it, and how we can continue to work on it at home, as well as in different environments. He answered all our questions and took his time with us. My kids even joined in at times, and he was good with them as well. You can tell he’s passionate about his work, and that he really cares about the dogs and the families!! I am so thankful I hired these guys!!! 10/10 recommended!! ☺️

    Dog Training Elite was professional, great to work with and got us on the schedule fairly quickly. We specifically worked with Nathan and he was very knowledgeable, patient and a great person to work with. Our giant schnauzer was causing us so much stress before, but after just a couple sessions we saw great improvement. Now, he has amazing recall and a lot more skills than before. Our house is now stress free and we have the tools we need to keep improving him. So thankful for Nathan and Dog Training Elite!

    I have a reactive dog, and I thought that our activities would always be limited by that. Even three sessions into training, I see a difference in my dog’s behavior. I can’t thank Nathan and the team enough for the amazing work that they do! I would recommend Dog Training Elite to everyone!

    Our trainer was Nathan, and he was beyond amazing, answered all of our questions and loves what he does! We thought it would take so much for our dogs to begin to listen or to follow these commands, and we did not realize it would only take the day of for our dogs to learn something Nathan had taught them, but with practicing everyday, they have only gotten better and we could not be more amazed by the experiences and everything we’ve been shown, I highly recommend dog training elite in general. Definitely worth it all😊

    Clint has been a game changer. Frank struggled with reactivity and behavior challenges, and the transformation has been incredible. He is calmer, more focused, and truly feels like a different dog. Clint gave me the tools and confidence to continue the work at home. Highly recommend.

    I signed my dog up for a 2 week board and train. At first I thought it was too expensive and excessive. But I did it anyway. I have absolutely no regrets! Leah has been absolutely amazing! She's very clear and concise in her communication. She doesn't just train the dog and send him home. She trains the owners as well, so we know how to continue the training once we get home with our dogs. I never thought that I could take my dog for a walk without a Gentle Leader and harness, in tandem. Today was his first day home from training and we went for our first walk together with just a slip leash. He stayed to my left, he didn't go after squirrels, he didn't go after Birds, he didn't bark at passerby's, or other dogs. He just walked calmly with me, peacefully. I can now use the grooming vacuum brush to remove the loose fur when he's shedding without him freaking out. He stays off furniture now. He understands where his areas are and where mine and he's respecting them. He doesn't run out the door anymore the second I open it. He is such a calm, peaceful, respectful, but yet still energetic, happy, and playful dog. I can't praise Leah enough for the work she did in just two weeks. She took an already amazing dog and made him so much better. She taught me how to be better as well. It's not all the dog. They are just feeding off of our energy. I've learned so much from her and highly recommend her to others, even if you just need a little tweak or a full remodel of your dog's Behavior patterns. She is absolutely amazing!

    DTE is such a wonderful program! Our trainer, Nathan, was fantastic and so kind to our puppy. We are so proud of everything she learned from the program in such a short amount of time. Thanks to Nathan’s training our dog is so much more obedient but still has the sweet puppy nature in her that we love so much.

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana, 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.
