Boxer Dog Training in Greenville, SC

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 Greenville 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 Upstate SC 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.

    With all of the Dachshunds that we have had over the years, we have never enrolled one in dog training. I have to say that we are really impressed by Dog Training Elite! Sydney was our primary trainer, we had Jared out once as well. Sydney was very professional and up beat with her training methods. She explained everything as she went along and did a great job of coaching our puppy, as well as us - we needed training on what to do as well. At the end of each session, Sydney would make sure to remind us that we could reach out to them by phone or email if we had any needs for our continued training. I would highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Jared and his team are amazing. I had goals that I wanted to achieve with my Belgian Lance . Jared went far beyond my expectations. The team is always available to assist and answer questions. Easy scheduling.. Now Lance and I are moving on to the next step with Jared and train Lance to be my service dog. I can’t say enough of great things about Jared and his team. I will post again once Lance is fully citified. Thanks Jeff

    We did a lot of research on dog trainers before landing on Dog Training Elite. We are so pleased with the team, the process, and the tools they gave us through out the whole process. We had a lot of questions during the intake process and the team was extremely helpful. As the weeks went on and we learned more about our two dogs, the staff was always there to answer any dog care related questions! They made it extremely easy to book sessions and came to our house. After 5 sessions I can confidently say both our dogs have done a 180! I look forward to continuing their training in the group classes. I can't recommend this team enough.

    DTE has been an invaluable resource to our family in training our first dog. My husband and I had limited to no knowledge of how to train a dog as we did not have any pets growing up. All of the trainers at DTE are knowledgeable and do an amazing job training both my dog, and me. They explain all commands in simple terms and are approachable with additional questions. We bought the Gold packages, 5 one on one training sessions and 6 months of group training sessions. We just started our group training. Jared does a wonderful job of explaining the reason for each activity and always welcomes questions of further explanation if needed. I love that I can text the direct number with urgent questions or issues and they respond quickly. We have had our sweet puppy for only 2 months but have already seen huge improvement, and I feel more confident in my training, as well. I would confidently recommend DTE to anyone who is looking for dog training services.

    Second time around with Elite! When we got our new puppy I knew exactly who to call, to help me train her and still let her be her sassy little self. So thankful for their guidance teaching or two best good girls!

    We enrolled our 8month old Labrador in Dog Training Elite and it was a fantastic experience from the start, beginning with the free in home evaluation. Sydney explained how their program works, discussed all the options, and throughly answered all questions we had. We signed up for the gold package, which was 4 in home sessions and 1 public/park training session + group classes for 6/mo. Sydney worked so well with us and our dog, and our dogs taken so well to all the training techniques and exercises used. We really valued the flexibility and how accommodating DTE was with the in home sessions. I’d highly recommend DTE to anyone looking to embark on their dog training journey.

    We are so glad we did this. Jared has been so awesome and helpful to work with. Our Daisy Joy is doing big things at 7 months old. We are so proud of her and thankful for The knowledge and help Jared and Dog Training Elite bring to helping us understand and train our sweet girl in obedience. Our end goal is to train her as a Service Dog. Thank you for your guidance and patience with us! So greatful for you.

    I would definitely recommend for pup training. They were always able to accommodate my schedule for training. Always on time! Day one was Information and my trainer had everything prepared and explained each week with clarity and a follow along pamphlet. Each week I met a different training getting advice and hands on training with my pup and different trainers. We even had puppy training with their own dogs adding an extra element for my pup. I am so happy with how obedient my pup has become. I wouldn’t have been able to get him to this point without them.

    We absolutely LOVED working with the trainers at Dog Training Elite! We started 1-on-1 sessions when my Lab, Honey, was 16 weeks old and it was a major game changer! She went from biting all the time and being hard to manage to THE BEST girl. We worked with Sydney for most sessions, and Sydney understood Honey and gave such helpful guidance and advice. I needed just as much training as Honey, and Sydney was always so patient and encouraging. This was the best decision that I could have ever made to grow my bond and trust with Honey. I’m forever grateful for the support from this team and highly recommend working with them!

    Highly recommend. Brought my pup to them who was overreactive to other dogs and they did excellent job helping her get over the hurdle. We have been able to get her back out in public and around other dogs with no problem!

    Walter (my dachshund) had a lot of anxiety and listening issues. He would be all over my husband and I and very often would take things he was not supposed to have and not allow us to get them from him. He would pull on his leash and chase us out the door when we left. Since dog training elite he has gained so much confidence. He has anxiety still, but that’s part of his breed as well. He listens to both my husband and I with ease. He’s no longer chasing us out the door and immediately drops things he’s not supposed to have when we ask. He pulls far less than he used to (though he just finished training so he’s still working on that one), but far far better. He’s happier every day and so are we. We cannot recommend DTE enough and are so grateful for the tools and ch ages they have made in our lives.

    I am so happy with DTE and the training they provided for my GSD Sully. They were flexible with scheduling training sessions, and catered each session to my dog and her needs. I specifically am thankful for Casey and her training skills, as she is very familiar with GSDs and was able to relate to Sully’s reactivity issues. She provided great training tips to help better Sully’s behavior and was very receptive to all questions I asked her. They provide longterm support for the owner and dog alike!

    DTE has been awesome to work with! All of the trainers are very knowledgeable about training, and passionate about helping dogs and their families. I have a 4 (almost 5) year old male Dalmatian, Chipper, who is completely deaf and has been since birth. At his age, I really didn’t think training would have much of an impact but I have learned that training doesn’t only have to be for puppies. DTE has been very accommodating in incorporating hand signals for Chipper since he cannot hear verbal commands. Chipper is my best friend and never liked the idea of having to send him off to training for a few months, so DTE was a great option for training Chipper but not having to drop him off for weeks at a time. Not only have they helped Chipper, but they have helped me understand the difference between dogs being able to do “tricks” and follow “commands.” A big thanks to DTE on helping us reach our full potential!

    I took a barky, crazy Cavalier King Charles in and brought home a true gentleman. Now, you don’t finish the week and you’re done. This is a process that you need to be prepared to work for continually. But think about this, you are investing in years that you will have a good dog.

    I am so happy we chose to go with Dog Training Elite! We have a Doberman and wanted a training that made sense for us. Phoenix is still a puppy and we want to set her up for success as she grows. She has done very well with her training! We get compliments on how well behaved she is when we take her places. One of my favorite parts of what they offer, is the group classes. The ongoing support and reinforcement in a non judgemental environment is something that you don't find often. You can tell that all of their employees genuinely care about the pups and enjoy working with them. I would definitely recommend Dog Training Elite if you are wanting to set you and your dog up for success!

    This was a great experience. All trainers are very knowledgable and very easy to follow along with. They were able to work around our schedule. Our dog Jennifer learned quickly. Looking forward to some group sessions

    I've had a great experience with Dog Training Elite Upstate SC. My dog, Riggins, has always been an anxious guy but since we've been working with this team his confidence has grown. Investing in this program has been one of the best decisions we've made for Riggins.

    Dog Training Elite Upstate has been life-changing for our family. Our dog Arthur used to be reactive and terrible to our other dog, but their training completely turned things around. He listens now, he’s calmer, and our whole home is so much happier. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend them!

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite Upstate SC, 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.
