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 Northeast Wisconsin, 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.

    Training so far has been absolutely amazing. Our trainer is Hannah and she was very patient with me. I was struggling with the e-collar because it was my first time ever using one. I am about to start group classes and can’t wait to continue on this journey with my dog Finn. We are working towards service dog work and having someone there to help us along the way has been so encouraging!

    I highly recommend Tina at Dog Training Elite. From our very first session Tina demonstrated exceptional professionalism, extensive knowledge and genuine passion for dog training. She took the time to understand Stella’s obedience challenges and explained every technique in a way that was easy to understand and apply. Tina was always punctual, patient and affectionate with Stella making each training session a positive experience. It was clear that she truly cares about the dogs she works with and is committed to helping both the dog and the owner succeed. She was always willing to answer every question and address any concerns we had about Stella’s progress. She was always receptive, encouraging in her explanations giving us the confidence to continue reinforcing the training at home. I have also attended my first group class with Stella and was very impressed with the organization and the training that was worked on. It was a safe, welcoming environment and both dogs and owners were well supported. Looking forward to continuing working on Stella’s obedience with the guidance from DTE!

    Larissa was great working with our dog Wrigley! Wrigley is 8 years old and had some reactivity issues. We noticed improvement right away and it continued throughout the training process. We would recommend Larissa and Dog Training Elite to anyone who is struggling with a reactive dog.

    We could not be happier with the results. We had a very reactive and stubborn dog, Ramiro and his crew spent the time and had the expertise to make such an amazing difference in her behavior. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're wondering whether Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin is worth it, let me save you some time... ABSOLUTELY! We reached out to Dog Training Elite after what was honestly one of the scariest moments I've ever experienced with our one-year-old Yellow Lab, Finland. Like many young Labs, Finland believed every walk was an Olympic pulling event. We tried different leashes, harnesses, and every "miracle" gadget we could find. If he decided he wanted to investigate something, we were just along for the ride. Then came *the walk*. We were heading home when Finland spotted a service worker on the sidewalk. His whole back end turned into one giant wag, and he was determined to go say hello. I turned to avoid the distraction, and at that exact moment, a brown paper bag blew across the sidewalk. Naturally, Finland decided that bag was the most exciting thing he'd ever seen. In the blink of an eye, the leash wrapped around my leg, flipped me flat onto my back, and Finland dragged me into the street... just as a semi truck was approaching. Thankfully, the driver stopped in time and helped me up. I cried the entire walk home, convinced I'd never be able to safely walk my own dog again. The first thing I did when I got home was call Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin. Marcy answered the phone and immediately put my mind at ease. She assured me they could help make our walks enjoyable again. She wasn't kidding. From day one, both Marcy and Stephany were incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely cared about both me *and* Finland. They never made me feel embarrassed or judged. Every lesson built our confidence together, and before long, our chaotic walks turned into something I actually looked forward to. Today, our walks are relaxing, enjoyable, and something we both love. Finland still has his goofy Lab personality, but now he walks with manners and actually pays attention to me. Dog Training Elite didn't just train our dog. They gave me my confidence back. If you're on the fence about investing in training, don't wait until you have your own scary story. Call them now. It was one of the best decisions we've ever made for both our family and our sweet boy. Thank you, Marcy and Stephany, for changing our lives, one walk at a time! 🐾💛

    We chose Dog Training Elite because we needed help with our sweet but rambunctious 1 year old golden retriever, Greta. I was a little nervous about the use of an e-collar at first, but after our initial meeting with Rico and getting to feel for ourselves that the stimulation from the e-collar isn't painful, I felt more confident that it was the right choice. We started working with Tina and within one week we went from having to bribe Greta to come to us using a trail of treats to having her come to us easily. Now that we have completed our individual lessons, Greta can heed all of our commands and will get even better with more practice. She is still a young dog with lots of energy, but we can more easily channel that energy thanks to the skills we all learned through training. Tina was a patient and knowledgeable trainer, which was so helpful to us because in addition to helping my husband and I learn to train Greta she also helped our 6 year old work with her too. Any time we had questions Tina was able to answer them or find out the answer for us, including problem solving for some smaller non-targeted behaviors Greta was showing and troubleshooting when Greta needed changes to her e-collar set up. We look forward to continuing our work with Dog Training Elite in group lessons, and highly recommend their services!

    Ramiro was great to work with. Very educated, great at explaining and talking things through with us when we had questions about anything. Our 3 year old rescue Pitbull/Beagle mix is a totally different dog after the 8 in home sessions. We look forward to participating in the Group Sessions and continuing his journey.

    From our initial phone call with Marcy, I knew we had connected to the right training program for our golden Nellie. Marcy was encouraging, understanding, and validating. The training sessions in our home were so effective. Marcy was amazing with Nellie. She helped me control my own anxiety and she was very supportive and built confidence in our abilities to work with Nellie. Marcy was consistently patient, knowledgeable and professional. Nellie has learned so much. The training was exceptional and has made her a well mannered dog. We would highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Here’s a polished version that incorporates your additional feedback about Larissa’s work with your family and her approach to e-collar training: Our experience with Dog Training Elite was excellent from start to finish. Larissa was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in Nala’s success. She took the time to understand our long-term goal of helping Nala progress toward becoming a psychiatric service dog and tailored the training to her specific needs, temperament, and learning style. The instruction was clear and easy for our family to follow, making practice at home highly effective. One of the biggest improvements was teaching Nala to focus on us and look to us for direction rather than making her own decisions. Larissa helped us establish consistent leadership so Nala understands that we are the ones in control, not the other way around. After just three sessions, we saw major improvements in her obedience, engagement, focus, and responsiveness. By the end of the program, Nala was reliably following commands at home and in distracting public environments while maintaining much better attention on her handlers. Larissa was also incredibly patient in teaching us, as owners, how to properly train and communicate with Nala. She took the time to explain the purpose and correct use of the e-collar as a training tool, emphasizing that it is meant to reinforce communication and consistency rather than punishment. She even offered to speak with any member of our household to ensure everyone understood the training methods and the importance of using the e-collar correctly and consistently. What impressed us most was the focus on building the handler-dog relationship that is essential for a future psychiatric service dog. Nala learned to check in with us more consistently, remain calm around distractions, and respond confidently to direction. Daily walks became more structured and enjoyable, unwanted behaviors decreased significantly, and we felt much more confident handling her in a variety of situations. We are grateful for the skills, leadership techniques, and confidence Larissa helped us develop, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone seeking professional, high-quality dog training.

    We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our dog, Poppy, is incredibly sweet but also very stubborn, and we weren't sure how much progress we'd be able to make. Thanks to the patience, expertise, and encouragement of our trainer, Marcy, we've seen an amazing transformation. Marcy took the time to understand Poppy's personality and tailored her approach to what worked best for her. She made training enjoyable for both us and our dog while giving us practical tools and techniques we could use every day. What impressed us most was Marcy's patience and consistency—she never gave up on Poppy, even when Poppy was determined to do things her own way! Poppy is now more responsive, better behaved, and much more confident. The improvement has made a huge difference in our daily life, and we truly appreciate all the support and guidance we received throughout the process. If you're looking for a dog training company that genuinely cares about your dog's success, we highly recommend them. And a special thank you to Marcy for helping us turn our stubborn pup into a well-mannered companion!

    Hannah was absolutely fantastic with Ozzy, and we all loved working with her. She was patient with us (it's as much about training the owners as it is the pup!) and broke down each lesson into easily manageable parts. Ozzy (and we) highly recommend Hannah for any dog training needs, and we are thankful for Dog Training Elite's curriculum, services, and professionalism!

    I cannot say enough great things about Dog Training Elite! My trainer, Hannah, was absolutely amazing — so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely wonderful with both of my dogs. I have a reactive older dog AND a puppy (Tilly, who just graduated her training — so proud!), and Hannah never made me feel overwhelmed. She actually gave me the confidence to feel like ‘I got this,’ even on the hard days. What really set them apart was that they came to our home to work with us in our own space, which made such a difference for both dogs. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate — I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite highly enough. Thank you, Hannah!
