Boxer Dog Training in Indianapolis, 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 Indianapolis 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 of Indianapolis 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.

    We attended the reactive dog training for my 9month old Morkie today. She is not aggressive but very reactive to new dog. This was one of the best things we have done. Very informative and saw improvement during the class. It’s not the dog, it’s us (he humans) that need trained.

    I adopted a shelter dog who is settling in to his first forever home. He’s loving and sweet but becomes very aggressive with other dogs. We are one week into a daily training program with Dog Training Elite and already there is marked improvement. Anika, Josh, and staff give loving, structured and consistent training. They also work with me to extend that consistent training to home. I have nothing but great compliments to DTE for helping my good dog to be better.

    Josh always does such a great job with Chance! He picks up on the smallest (but super meaningful) cue Chance gives and tells me what that cue means and how to handle it! Highly recommend!

    We are working on a therapy test and Elijah gave excellent instructions throughout. He reviewed what we’d be doing during session and gave excellent feedback as we worked thru the items…. Thank you Elijah for a wonderful session!!!

    Elijah Turner was awesome. Explained things clearly, was patient, and even answered some preliminary questions about some stuff I want to teach Winnie (the Poochon) in the future. Winnie is comfortable and happy around him as well, of course. 😀 (On a side note: I know I tend to ramble a bit while asking questions and trying to process new information because it's sometimes difficult to organize my thoughts due to brain fog. He didn't make me feel awkward about it at all, which I'm extremely thankful for.)

    What an amazing experience it has been training my dog, Peppa, with this incredible and highly qualified team! I noticed a HUGE change in Peppa—not only in her behavior, but also in her confidence and ability to respond. They trained her with so much care, kindness, patience, and genuine understanding of dogs. You can truly tell how passionate they are about what they do, and they always treated Peppa with respect and compassion. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for her and for us. The results have been beyond what I expected, and I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and effective dog trainers. Peppa is a happier, more confident dog because of them! ❤️

    Anika, Josh, Annie and Elijah are a DREAM TEAM. Each has taken such care and kindness in helping my tiny 6 pound fur baby grow and learn in ways that support her specific needs, both physical and psychological. I could not be more pleased with our time at Elite and only wish we came sooner! She gets to enjoy so much newfound confidence, freedom and security through their training model and each trainer took time to help me integrate and guide me through the process of continuing the work at home. I love these guys!!

    We can’t thank Doug, Josh and all the trainers at DTE enough for the incredible work they do with our new family member, Remy. She struggles with reactive and aggressive behaviors, but their calm, patient approach and deep understanding of dog behavior has made all the difference. They gave us practical, easy to follow training techniques that have helped her make incredible progress. Especially grateful for the coaching and encouragement we receive as her handlers. We couldn’t be happier with the team’s expertise, kindness and dedication - it was made all the difference. Highly recommended the DTE Team!

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite of Indianapolis, 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.
