French Bulldog Personality


Read More
Read Less

French bulldogs are known for being even-tempered and playful. Because of their size, they can do well in smaller homes and apartments, making them an ideal companion for city life.

Two of the best qualities of French bulldogs are their adaptability and ability to get along well with children. However, while these traits may be innate, it's still an excellent idea to enroll a dog in training to help build their socialization skills and teach them basic commands for safety.

French bulldogs instinctively bark to alert you when strangers are at the door. Training can teach your dog how to respond appropriately to avoid excessive barking and alerts whenever the mail or delivery man drops off a package. This training can be vital in an apartment setting to maintain peace in a shared complex. While they may not need much exercise due to their small size and stature, training your dog to walk on a leash is still a good idea. Walking is a great opportunity for your dog to get outside and discover new things. Your dog may make new friends with both people and canines.

Training can help make this experience safe and fun for you and your dog. Because French bulldogs are friendly, you'll want to train them to socialize appropriately with people and dogs that may be less open to meeting new friends.

As your Frenchie will probably enjoy ample time indoors, it's also great to train them to communicate when they need to go potty. Accidents happen, and dogs often need to be trained on what to do when they need to go to avoid having them.

    We have been working with Tom at dog training elite central Kentucky and have had nothing but a positive experience so far. Tom is very knowledgeable when it comes to understand our dogs behavior and giving us the tools to correct them. I look forward to the rest of the program and the endless group opportunities that are available with the package we choose. I would highly recommend Tom if you have a highly reactive pup.

    Tom has been incredible with our new rescue and with us! He’s calm, patient, and tailors each 1:1 in-home session to our dog’s needs. He always checks in, gives clear next steps that aren’t overwhelming, and follows up during the week. We’ve already seen big improvements in obedience and behavior, both at home and on walks in our neighborhood. Excited for the upcoming group classes and all the next steps— We highly recommend!

    So far we've only worked with Tom, and have had a couple of training sessions, but we can already see a huge improvement with our fur baby, including excessive barking, which has been a huge problem for us. Not only is he training our girl, but he's training us as well and we're looking forward to future training at home and out in public. I would highly recommend Tom and his company!

    Very pleased and only on the second lesson with Tom. He brings great knowledge and a calm approach to training with easy ways to understand and carry it out for your pup to become confident and well behaved! The group classes are also really helpful!

    We are thankful to have found Tom, with Dog Training Elite. We were beginning to feel overwhelmed with our Bernedoodle puppy. Tom is so calm and patient. Our Tilly warmed up to him immediately. Working together we have a much better behaved puppy. We will continue to work with Tom in group classes to learn more from his expertise. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    “I have had a great experience with Dog Training Elite Louisville! The trainers are professional, knowledgeable, and patient with me, my husband, and my dog. The in-home training sessions were especially helpful, allowing Cole to learn in a familiar environment. Within just a few sessions, I saw a noticeable improvement in obedience and leash manners. If you’re considering professional training, I’d definitely recommend Dog Training Elite Louisville“

    Tom has been amazing with my crazy pup, displaying incredible patience and compassion. He truly listens to me and my dog. She has made more progress than I could’ve imagined. Tom is very supportive and knowledgeable.

    Tom has been great. Our dog was a drop off rescue that showed that social interaction with other people and dogs had been minimal. The training method appears to suit her well. The at home instruction has been really convenient. The group sessions have been really helpful for her fear and anxiety issues. Today was her second group session and I could sense a noticeable difference. Highly recommend.

    The patience, kindness, and clear guidance of the trainers at Dog Training Elite Louisville was outstanding, especially during our Service dog training experience, which instantly boosted our dog's confidence and obedience! Highly recommend

    The staff at Dog Training Elite Louisville demonstrated exceptional patience, kindness, understanding, and provided clear instructions that put us at ease throughout the training process, and we're delighted with the progress our dogs are making. Their encouraging approach made the experience enjoyable and left us feeling confident in our newfound skills as we pursued service dog training for one of our dogs and therapy dog training for the other. The group lessons are an effective way to gain confidence using the training skills we learn in individual sessions. Safety is a main priority in group classes with the leaders demonstrating patience and understanding for any dogs and owners who may be struggling with anxiety around other dogs. We are very happy with DTE training and am glad we chose it for our two dogs.

    Our experience with Dog Training Elite Louisville was exceptional, with trainers who demonstrated kindness, patience, clarity, and professionalism as they guided our dogs at all levels of obedience training, and even provided valuable insight into Service dog training making a noticeable difference in their behavior.

    My trainer at Dog Training Elite helped make me feel empowered to train my service dog. I constantly get compliments from people saying that they've never seen a dog behave so well, and it's all thanks to Tom! Even though I'm done with the program, he's still there for me, which means the world! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    Tom is amazing! We started obedience lessons with my Doberman puppy when she was 4 months old, and she has truly turned into the best dog I could’ve ever ask for. She so well behaved thanks to her training, and I feel so confident teaching her new things and taking her out in public thanks to Tom! (She absolutely ADORES Tom too, you should see her wiggle when she sees his Truck pull in for her lessons.) 10/10 recommend Dog Training Elite and Tom!

    When I got my puppy, Henry, I was hoping to turn him into a service dog, but had no clue where to even start. Tom has been there every step of the way to help us get to that point. Henry will now alert to me on his own, and I know that wouldn’t have been possible without Tom’s expertise. And I have been so impressed with how well thought out the group classes are! It’s been amazing to watch Henry’s improvement with each outing. Would 1000% recommend this program to anyone!

    Odie a mini Sheepadoodle has become a favorite with everyone he meets after finding Tom at DTI. Tom is always patient with Odie and me!! You may think “no way” when he tells you what is possible with your dog, but believe him!! We love the group classes and look forward to them. There are many dog trainers to choose from but I highly recommend Tom and this organization!! Life with your dog will go from ok to fabulous!!

    When I adopted my dog from the animal shelter I wasn't sure if she'd ever get along with other dogs or be able to be in a group of dogs without reacting poorly. These classes really helped her learn to be in a group of other dogs without freaking out. Its also helped her learn to listen to me and follow my lead in a situation. She's so much happier and so much more social now!

    We work with Tom at Dog Training Elite Louisville and so far he has been amazing! He is very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. We have a Standard Poodle puppy named Sonny and we have a long road ahead of us, from puppy training to obedience training to hopefully service or therapy dog training. Tom helped me from the very beginning before we even had Sonny, he informed me on what dog breeds would be best for service dogs and what to look for in a puppy, I am very thankful because of him we were able to find our boy Sonny who we absolutely adore (especially our son who we got Sonny for)! I was nervous as this is the most extensive training I have ever done and I have also never worked with an e-collar, Tom has made this experience very smooth and easy. He makes sure to inform me on everything which makes me feel more comfortable with the whole process. We have only been training for a few months as Sonny is only 18weeks old but we have already seen wonderful results from starting training right away! We have enjoyed working with Tom, and look forward to continue working with him. We are a forever client and highly recommend working with Tom for all your dog training needs!

    Tom has done an amazing job with our 1 1/2 year old mini golden doodle. She and we have learned so much in just a few sessions! Tom is so patient and consistent with her. Our JoJo is now able to loose leash walk, heel and sit on walks only and come on command only after a few sessions. She is so much calmer and more attentive to us. So very impressed and couldn’t be happier!

    Tom and Abby have been great working with us and Hank. They’ve walked us through the early steps of our training and kept in touch to make sure everything was going good. We’re now joining the Saturday classes and enjoying learning more from them.

Safety and Health

Read More
Read Less

French bulldogs don't require much mental stimulation, making them easy pets around the house. Regardless, it’s still vital that they know what parts of your home are safe to explore and what areas they need to avoid.

Proper training can help your dog learn to be alone and relieve stress when you are away from home. You'll also want to be confident your dog won't run out into busy streets when you open the front door, so sit and down commands are vital.

Sit, come, heel, and down are also vital to their safety around water. Because of their short legs and body shape, French bulldogs cannot swim without assistance. They must listen to you whenever you are around pools, lakes, or oceans.

Because of their face shape, French bulldogs can also be prone to breathing problems. Training can help to take the stress out of vet visits. It can also help you identify times when your pet is communicating that something is wrong so that you can help support their health and well-being.

Choosing the proper French bulldog training in Louisville, KY should offer the support you need to work with your dog. At Dog Training Elite, we focus on keeping your dog safe and happy. We use an electronic vibrating collar rather than a shock collar to reinforce concepts and keep them focused. We want dogs to feel supported and excited to learn concepts to help them lead a happy and safe life with you! Investing in quality training and socialization will help you and your dog navigate new environments together.
