Pitbull Training in Greenville, SC

At Dog Training Elite, we can tailor our training method to work with any dog breed. We also understand that some dog breeds may require more training in some areas than others. Generally, all dogs share qualities of loyalty, intelligence, and compassion—regardless of what breed they are. Additionally, some breeds may have traits that require more attention and training than others.

For example, dogs within the pit bull family might possess some qualities that need training and correction that aren't an issue with other dog breeds. Whatever the case and dog breed you have, the trainers at Dog Training Elite Upstate SC can create a breed–specific training plan to help you and your dog.

What is a Pitbull?

Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

American Pitbull Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier
American Bulldog
English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

Dog Training Elite has done so much for my dog. Our trainer Sydney was absolutely amazing, our initial appointment I had absolutely no hope that my dog could even be half as behaved as her dogs were and I was proved totally wrong. My freshly 1 yo puppy (who i’ve only had for 4 months) has perfect recall, manners in public, walks in a perfect heal, and most importantly doesn’t react to other dogs. my goal is for my pup is to be a service dog one day, and Dog Training Elite has helped me see that is totally doable. I am so happy this is the training company I went with, couldn’t be happier and neither could my puppy.

Cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite! From our in home trainings with Sydney, to our group classes with Jared and Sydney, every experience has been great! We enrolled our little guy Colt to help with his reactivity to other dogs and people, and are just amazed at his progress! He is able to stay calm and let other dogs walk by him and get close without going nuts. Thank you guys for being so kind and for all your help!

Jared , Casey and the whole Dog Training Elite team are phenomenal. We came to them for help with our GSD and his reactivity issues and he's honestly a completely different dog. Jared ran a lot of our sessions and he is extremely knowledgeable and really cares about the success of each dog he trains. Scheduling was very easy and flexible. Overall, I cannot recommend DGE enough. Definitely check them out. Worth every penny.

From a person who never leaves a review on Google, I’m compelled to leave a very positive review for Dog Training Elite Upstate. Having spent many thousands of $$$$ for training my BorDoodle pup for 3 years, I wish I’d met Jared a long time ago but perhaps I had to go through all that other training to really appreciate the difference he has made for my relationship with my wizardly smart pup. Most good trainers can have a dog do things an owner is unable to accomplish. The big difference between short term and long term success is that now for the first time, as an owner, my dog is doing those things for me, not just the trainer! Jared knows the magic that happens when he trains the owner/handler, not just the dog. People are harder to train than a dog. As a side note, I’m an ‘’elderly’’ who has owned dogs all my life and never had to have professional training for any of them. They just ‘’did’’ what I taught them to do, that is until I met my match 3 yrs ago with this current pup. I highly recommend Jared and his team!

Learned soo much from this amazing team of dog trainers! They are passionate about the success of their training program and are very responsive, professional and accommodating! My dog has learned soo much and is well behaved now!

I chose Dog Training Elite TWICE! I have two very different rescue dogs with very different needs and they helped them and me learn to work together! One was abused and terrified of everything and I later adopted a rescue that lived on a chain. Jared and the team helped both of them and we continue with group walks now. The trainers are extremely supportive and great with the dogs! They document and video each day and go over it all and show you how to work with your dog. I am grateful to them for helping my dogs feel confident and successful! I also found that I am trainable. Ha ha! Dog Training Elite Upstate is a great resource for training your beloved family member.

We got a six month old puppy that had been “trained.” We thought great but she was very active and we had no idea where or how to start with an older puppy. DTE met with us and answered all million of our questions. We were able to start right away and worked with our new puppy. She learned quickly and has amazed us. She stays in our yard and stay on place. She walks well with our children and doing well with her commands. I was going crazy when we first brought her home. Now, she is a joy.

Jared and his team were great with getting our training with our pup Strider started off on the right foot. They are exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and the videos they provide everyday on what they went over were great learning tools.

Jared and his staff made a big difference in Blazes obedience. He is happy to listen to commands. They made the training easy for Blaze and my wife and I to understand. Overall it was an excellent choice to have Blaze trained by Dog Training Elite.

We loved going thru this training! Our dog is just a house pet who needed some extra help with manners and managing excitement. We had tried training on our own, watching videos, using treats, etc. but hadn’t gotten very far. Jared such a huge help with everything! Our dog, Waylon, got so many compliments at easter dinner on his good boy manners! He is now able to do all of his favorite things without hassle like swimming in the lake without excessive barking and walking without pulling or jumping. I cannot recommend this program enough and am grateful we found such a fantastic program and trainer!

Bella, our 6 month old Golden, was the Queen of the house. It was our fault for not being consistent and we needed help. Bella would take things off the counter and bring them to her bed. Not chewing them up, just holding for ransom, treat. She also would hold on to the back of my robe and not let go. Someone we meet had introduced us to Dog Training Elite located Upstate SC. We have completed one on one classes and group training for the week and now we meet once a week for more group training. Where you meet great people and their dogs. Bella is amazing. She craves commands and I can’t believe the change in her. I’ve had 9 dogs and this is our first training, I highly recommend these guys. They are all great. Thank you

I was thoroughly amazed by Elite Dog Training. Their knowledge and expertise made a world of difference in my Staffie!! They gave me and Charlie the confidence we needed!! I couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you so much❤️❤️

Dog Training Elite has been amazing to work with. The trainers explain everything they are asking you to do and why. They have worked with our schedules as well. We tried online training during COVID with another company, boarding training with another, but no one has really helped us with our anxious Frenchie as much as this team has so far. We are now excited to try group training which we would not have considered a few months ago!

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.

Absolutely loved the service! I really liked how they came to our home to help train our dog! I was very pleased with their services and would highly recommend them to anyone!

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

Thank you Elite! Murphy is making such good progress and I know he will become the Best Boy ever.Thank you for your steady encouragement.

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.

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Read Less

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.
Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.
Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.
Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.
These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite Upstate SC can address!
Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
