Popular Service Dog Breeds

Finding a service dog that fits your individual needs is important, especially for military veteran support. While most dogs can be trained to become service dogs, a few breeds stand out due to their personalities and inherent traits.

Here are a few of the most popular service dog breeds:

  1. Labrador Retrievers: Labradors are intelligent, versatile, and eager to please, making them ideal for PTSD service dogs. Their trainability allows them to excel in roles like guide dogs, mobility support, and emotional support, making them highly adaptable for veterans.
  2. Golden Retrievers: Golden Retrievers are known for their calm, gentle nature and strong work ethic. They are excellent at providing mobility assistance and emotional support, especially for veterans with PTSD, due to their patient and loving temperament.
  3. German Shepherds: German Shepherds are strong, loyal, and highly intelligent, making them excellent service dogs. Their protective instincts and trainability allow them to assist with mobility, search and rescue, and provide emotional support for veterans.
  4. Malinois: Belgian Malinois are known for their deep loyalty and intelligence. Malinois are not for everyone due to their energy and drive, but for retired veterans who appreciate discipline, structure, and a deep connection, they can be life-changing companions.

Service dogs undergo extensive specialized training to perform their tasks and assist their owners. Our training process involves a combination of obedience training, task training, and public access training.

  • Obedience Training: This training focuses on teaching a dog basic commands, such as sit, down, heel, come, as well as proper leash manners and socialization skills.
  • Task Training: Task training is tailored to fit the needs of each individual. It involves teaching the dog to perform tasks that mitigate the person’s disability, such as retrieving items, opening doors, or providing deep pressure therapy.
  • Public Access Training: This type of training is crucial to ensure the dog remains calm, well-behaved, and non-disruptive in various public settings. This training includes exposure to different environments, distractions, and social interactions to provide a dog that can confidently navigate public spaces.

    We had a great experience working with Hannah Randall from Dog Training Elite. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very flexible with scheduling, which made the training process easy to manage. She explained things clearly and helped us feel confident continuing the training on our own between sessions. A good dog trainer doesn't just work with the dog but also teaches the owners how to be consistent and effective, and Hannah did exactly that. We saw real progress and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer.

    Dog Training Elite and trainers Marcy and Mitch are absolutely incredible!!! 💛🐾 The team at Dog Training Elite is so professional, patient, and insanely knowledgeable. They didn’t just work with Albus, they taught us how to confidently lead him and actually understand what he needed. Their training was structured but still personalized to him, and they really focused on getting to the root of his anxiety and reactivity. And now?! Albus is calm, responsive, and SO confident 🥹✨ He walks right past other dogs without any issues, follows commands beautifully, and is genuinely such a joy to take anywhere. I actually look forward to outings now instead of stressing about them. The transformation has truly been life-changing for our family. If you’re even a little unsure about training, this is your sign. Dog Training Elite is worth every single penny. We are beyond grateful and could not recommend them more!!! 🐶💫

    We sought out training because Bert, our two year old golden doodle, was barking a lot while we were away. We went with Dog Training Elite because of the positive Google reviews and chose the platinum package because the investment comes with ongoing support if something comes up in the future. We worked with Hannah, she was very knowledgeable and was a great fit. Bert responded well to her and she made things easy for us to understand. Hannah has positive energy and during our sessions we could see her passion for training. She talked us through challenging situations and gave us the confidence we needed to guide Bert. She customized sessions to meet Bert’s needs and never felt rushed. She always had great communication. Bert had a strong base but we were skeptical on how the training would improve the barking while away. Not only have we seen improvements with the barking we have also seen improvements with general obedience and walking without being distracted. We found value in the platinum package and are happy with our investment. We look forward to participating in the group classes and seeing continued progress.

    Training with Ramiro has been life changing for our family!!!! Our beautiful boy Donnie started becoming very insecure and reactive towards strangers and other dogs at the age of 8 months old. We assumed he had become aggressive but quickly into his training it was clear that he was just scared. We stopped bringing him places and felt very sad and defeated. We have 2 small children and knew this wouldn’t work long term with them wanting friends over to play someday. We were worried that we could possibly waste our money if the training didn’t work but that definitely was not the case! Seeing our baby boy transform before our eyes has been an incredible feeling and we just feel so proud!! It has been worth every penny! If you are reading these reviews unsure or trying to find a push to go for it, here it is!! Thank you Ramiro and Elite!!

    My experience with Hannah at Dog Training Elite was everything I could have hoped for and more. I was feeling incredibly overwhelmed and defeated with my 8-year-old pit bull after moving from a rural community to an apartment complex with many other reactive dogs. Managing her reactivity became increasingly difficult, and it was starting to affect her quality of life. I truly wish I had invested in training sooner. Trying to handle everything on my own felt like too much at times, but Hannah was amazing throughout the entire process. She patiently answered all of my questions and clearly explained the reasoning and goals behind each step. Her guidance helped me feel more confident—not only in the training itself, but also in my bond with my dog. I chose the platinum package, and it was worth every penny. I’m really looking forward to attending group classes, and it’s reassuring to know that I’ll always have support if I need it in the future.

    I had the best experience with Dog Training Elite. I had a very nervous rescue with some aggression issues that I really was skeptical I could fix. Dog Training Elite was fabulous from the start with prompt communication and walked us through every step of the process. My dog is now calm and confident and more importantly, I know how to handle all the situations that had me nervous before I went through this. Larissa is the best dog trainer!! I highly recommend!!!

    We had an outstanding experience with Dog Training Elite. Ramiro was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and flexible with our schedule. During one session, our puppy had a minor leg injury from earlier in the day, which Ramiro immediately noticed. He paused the training to ensure Oakley wouldn’t put any additional strain on his leg and rescheduled once he was fully healed. That level of care and attention truly stood out and made it clear that Ramiro genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Highly recommend.

    Hannah, our trainer, did an outstanding job with Benito, our one-year-old Goldendoodle, during his Platinum training package. Over the 8 classes, we saw a significant improvement in his behavior. He no longer jumps on people, walks are much calmer, and he has much better manners around others, and he even learned a few great tricks along the way. Hannah traveled from Green Bay to Oshkosh for every class, which truly shows her dedication and professionalism. In the middle of the course, we had a family emergency involving our daughter during one of our scheduled class meetings. She had already made the drive and was incredibly understanding, did not count the class, and rescheduled it without any issue. Benito clearly built a strong bond with her and would even cry when she left after class. We are very grateful for her commitment and highly recommend Hannah and Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin.

    If I could give 10 stars I would! Stephany, Ramiro and the team are so great! They took on two of our puppies at once! Both dogs will be service dogs and they worked very hard to understand the needs of our 2 sons so that they could train the dogs for them as individuals! They were VERY patient with the humans too! They are helping us work through all situations with respect and patience. They also do an AMAZING job work with my son who has severe anxiety! They made him feel confident and heard! BRAVO to the team at Dog Training Elite! Excited to see the growth that we will all see in the next steps of our training!

    Our trainer Ramiro was great to work with, and the transformation our dog went through from the beginning of her training to the end was spectacular. During the initial meeting our dog Bella was constantly barking and lunging at Ramiro, a behavior we had seen with most house guests. It was to the point we would relocate Bella just to have friends or family over. Ramiro was calm, professional, and confident he could help us. By the third training session Bella was excited for Ramio to come, and showing huge growth. Ultimately Ramiro trained us how to work with Bella and our consistent efforts paid off. During our final in home session Bella was able to walk through a Home Depot relaxed and in a perfect heel. Her reactivity has significantly decreased, and we have the tools to help her through stressful situations now. We look forward to bring her to group classes and continuing her training.

    I waited close to a full year to write this review, because I'm the type of person who wants to make sure the quality of a service that they paid for actually is long-lasting. And let me tell you, it is long-lasting. At first, when I saw the pricing on the training through these guys, I thought this better be worth it. And this IS EXTREMELY worth it. My dog had a fence reactivity and also reactive towards other dogs and did not like them. After this training he changed completely and was good around other dogs. I highly recommend these guys. They are the best dog trainers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and in the future, if and when I would need a dog trainer again, I will definitely be coming back to these guys.

    Dog Training Elite changed our lives in so many ways! We brought our two rescue dogs to DTE and the results from their training and expertise exceeded any of our expectations! Marcy and Brianna taught us so much, as well as our dogs! It's hard to put into words the success we've had with Marcy and DTE, we now have two dogs that respond to us, calmly walk with us, and most of all know what we are asking of them and they seem happier! One of our dogs was a demand barker and we never thought we could fix that and now we have had people come to house and ask if she is a different dog...Marcy was so patient with our dogs and teaching us every step of the way and she made it so enjoyable! She made it feel so easy to learn and her positive continual support helped us and our dogs feel more confident about understanding the process. She has such a great way of explaining everything and really understands each dog and their individual personality. We have tried many other training methods that didn't work and can't believe how fortunate we are to have found DTE; my daughter trained her two dogs with them as well and has had immense success! We are so grateful to Marcy and DTE for giving us the training and knowledge to enhance our dogs' confidence, happiness, and quality of life!

    Great experience working with Hannah and Dog Training Elite! Hannah was always professional, prepared (and flexible to meet Lacy’s needs), positive and enthusiastic as she worked with us! She left us detailed notes on what and how to continue training between her visits. Looking forward to the group training! Thank you!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite. I came to them with a reactive dog who pulled constantly on the leash, and walks were stressful instead of enjoyable. From the very beginning, Ramiro was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just train my dog - He taught me how to communicate better and stay calm and consistent. The techniques he used were clear, effective, and humane, and the progress we’ve made is honestly amazing. Walks are now manageable and enjoyable, and my dog is more focused, confident, and responsive than ever before. If you’re struggling with reactivity or leash pulling and feel overwhelmed, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They truly care about both the dog and the owner, and the results speak for themselves.

    One of the worst parts of a dog passing away is realizing that if you want that same companionship you have to go through a learning phase with a new dog. After your heart heals and you decide to bring a new dog into your home, you quickly realize you've forgotten everything you thought you knew about training a pup and the excitement of a new family member quickly turns into tired exhaustion, frustration, and a hopeless feeling that your new dog may never be as good as your old dog. Reaching out to Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin provided instant puppy behavioral improvement, helped train the trainers (us owners), and provided hope for a future with a well behaved dog. The entire team was helpful, responsive, and experts in their respective areas, but Larissa was exceptionally fantastic and great to work with. We are looking forward to continuing our training toward a therapy dog certification and would recommend Elite to anyone wanting some additional help and guidance training your dog.
