Boxer Dog Training in Lancaster, PA

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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster 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.

    DTE was the best possible thing we could have done for our dog Luna and our family. We got luna from a shelter and while she was a sweet girl, when we took her outside she was reactive to other dogs and started to seriously bite us while we were on walks. We started working with Betsy and after the first session with her, luna was no longer jumping and biting! Luna has now gotten to the point where she can be off leash at the park and we trust one another enough to let her roam and that she will come when we call her back. We have seen her confidence grow so much since working with Betsy and our confidence as well. Betsy herself was so easy to work with. She is competent,confident, and incredibly caring for both us and our dog. She kept a clear line of communication that made it easy to reschedule or switch around some of our appointment times. She would also bring her different dogs from her farm to help train luna and they were all wonderful. They clearly loved working with Betsy as well. We would 100% recommend anyone to DTE. Thank you Betsy!!

    Betsy was simply amazing to work with. I had 3 very unruly dogs with fighting and jumping constantly. She provided me with tools and resources that were practical and easy to follow. Besides being a great dog trainer, her personality and customer service focused was very much appreciated and made her stand out among others.

    I adopted Liz as a first time dog owner about a year ago and while she quickly warmed up to me, it was impossible to have guests over, someone knock on the door, walk past another dog, or even have my neighbor help out when I have to work late. Betsy came over and explained the process and some of the reasoning for Liz's behavior coming from a shelter. Betsy worked very closely with Liz and I and after just the first session, Liz became so much more confident. Betsy taught me how to communicate with Liz in a way she understands making both of our lives easier! I'm so thankful for Betsy and her patience working with Liz and I. I didn't think I could love my dog even more!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience with Dog Training Elite! We worked with Jamie and Betsy. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and fun to work with while working with our Goldendoodle puppy, Teddy. They took the time to help us understand not only the training techniques but also how to consistently reinforce them at home and outside of the home. We used another dog training service before and had no results like this! Teddy learned so much throughout the program, and we saw a huge improvement in his obedience, focus, and confidence. Most importantly, Jamie and Betsy gave us the building blocks and tools we can continue using for the rest of Teddy’s life. It’s a commitment but a great investment for you and your dog. Their support, encouragement, and genuine care for both dogs and owners made the entire experience enjoyable and worthwhile. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking to build a strong foundation for a well-behaved and happy dog! Thank you, Jamie and Betsy, for setting Teddy up for success! 🐾💕

    DTE was the right choice for us. Betsy knows dogs and dog behavior, which she translates into successful training. Her extensive experience allowed her to explain what we needed to do with our dog to achieve our goals. I have had dogs my whole life but never had a dog that was properly trained and socialized until I found Betsy and DTE. Now I have a dog that goes anywhere; Home Depot, Lowes, coffee shops, breweries, Cabela's, parks and public streets with no problems. Betsy has made my dream of having a well behaved, go anywhere, meet anyone companion dog come true.

    Jaime has been fantastic with my dog. He explains the reasons behind my dog’s behavior and how to go about redirecting him to the desired response. Jaime has a true gift with dogs.

    Working with Jaime at Dog Training Elite Academy has been an incredible experience. Over the past five months, Jaime has helped our 1-year-old pug, Buster, grow from an energetic pup into a confident and capable pet therapy dog in training. Jaime’s patience, knowledge, and love for what he does truly shine through in every session. We are so grateful for his guidance and for the new opportunities Buster now has to make a difference in people’s lives.

    It turns out you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! I reached out to Dog Training Elite on behalf of our CEO to train his 2 grown adult male dogs (one of them to be a therapy dog and the other to focus on his obedience). Both dogs are thriving and the joy the therapy dog is bringing to the senior homes is so endearing to witness. Dog Training Elite goes beyond their incredible trainers… the schedulers are a dream to work with, as well. Seriously, these are the people to go to! My boss and his wife are so happy with their experience and highly recommend this team (and I do too!!)😀

    Remarkable, results driven personal training for you and your dog! We've been working with Betsy and Jaime since adopting our Mastiff puppy, and we couldn't be happier. The team is very personable, professional and knowledgeable, and they tailor their training to the goals you set for you and your dog. I have had dogs my whole life, and this is by far the best behaved, well-rounded pup I've ever had - all thanks to DTE and their attentive, personalized training. The best part is the skills they have taught me that have helped me help my Mildred be the best she can be! Yes, you have to put in the work, but if you do, and follow their guidance, you will succeed! Mildred is now 9 months old (and huge!) but so well socialized with both people and other dogs, and her obedience is amazing. Some told us that "you can't train a Mastiff" but this team is so experienced and knowledgeable I've no doubt they can help any pet parent achieve the results they seek. Lastly, there are other trainers who turn dogs into robots with no personality - this team clearly loves and respects all canines and works with each individual dog with as much patience, love, and passion as if it were their own. Highly recommend!

    Jaime is great! He is very knowledgable and patient teaching me and my dog. Both me and my dog has learned a lot and my dog is much better. Highly recommend for anyone that would like to train their dogs.

    Dog Training Elite Lancaster: I can't overstate the dramatic change in my dog since Jaime and Betsy engaged in training with her. Prior to Elite, we had our puppy in private training, with mediocre results. I was skeptical that Elite would be able to get her to the level we wanted. Literally after one lesson, we began to see results. By week 3 it was DRAMATIC! Jaime and Betsy provide the tools and coaching. You need to do the work also. But if you do, the results will overwhelm you!! Almost as important as training your dog, Dog Training Elite trains the handler and gives them the skills to understand successful methods. We are so grateful that we found Betsy and Jaime. Remarkable trainers!!

    Dog Training Elite was simply amazing! Working with a 6 yr old Dachshund is no small feat, but Betsy came in and from day 1, my dog’s behavior had improved. He’s less reactive, less anxious, more confident, and more obedient and has just continued to get better. He’s going to have a much more fulfilling and exciting life since we decided to train with Dog Training Elite.

    Choosing Dog Training Elite was the best decision I could’ve made for my dog and my home. I have a 75lb pitbull who struggled with obedience. My home began to feel chaotic. I didn’t enjoy having guests over. After many hours of research trying to find the best training that suited us, I decided to go with Dog Training Elite. They first do an evaluation before you commit to anything. Just from the first session I learned so much. I looked forward to every session. Jaime is amazing. He worked with me and my dog during all of our at home sessions. He helped me understand my dog’s behavior more and the proper ways to correct it. By the last session I had a new kind of confidence and trust in my dog. I now enjoy having guests over again. Our bond became stronger. I know I can take him just about anywhere now and not get embarrassed with his behavior. We still have our group classes to go but I can’t wait to continue this journey and keep building that confidence and trust.

    We hired Dog Training Elite Lancaster to train our two Corgis, Hitch and Hanna. We really wanted them to be therapy dogs but they were both a bit too independent and energetic and so I didn't really hold out much hope. But 3 months with Jaime and Betsy training both us and the dogs made our dream a reality. Both dogs passed their Good Canine Citizenship exam last week and will now be able to accompany me on my visits to amputee peers at the Reading Rehab Center and Reading Hospital!

    Dog Training Elite not only saved my dog, but it brought the PEACE back into our home! DTE is far from cookie cutter, and they made sure to focus on our specific needs and concerns. They left us with 10/10 results, and new sense of control and happiness with our pup! If your dog is driving you crazy like ours was, I highly recommend calling Dog Training Elite before giving up! Thank you again Jaime and Betsy!!!!

Boxer Training Tips

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