Boxer Dog Training in Nashville, TN

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 Nashville 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 Central Nashville 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.

    Working with Reina has been amazing. She has individually worked with Apollo and his growth has been amazing. Even his terrible trait of reactivity has improved so much!!!!

    Rhett and Kaitlyn have been amazing to work with. We were on the cusp of euthanasia due to our 6 year old dog suddenly becoming dog reactive to her dog siblings that she has always been around. Rhett laid out a training plan to help with our dog’s confidence and anxiety after meeting with her and us and it has really helped her. She is much less anxious and because of that feels less need to resource guard which was leading to the reactivity. I highly recommend them if you’re struggling with a reactive dog.

    We are new to Dog Training Elite Central Nashville and just signed up for the Platinum obedience package for our pup Roscoe. After reading the reviews and meeting with the trainer Austin we made the right decision! Austin has a lot of knowledge and expertise working with different breeds of dogs. He is very detailed and thorough in his profession!

    Austin has been incredible! All of the interactions we have had with the team since we started have been great! Courteous, professional and prompt with every lesson. Whiskie has improved dramatically, she is still a puppy and we know she’s not going to be perfect. Now part way through the training we have confidence to take her with us on errands, public places and even just in the yard off leash. It takes time and you need to work with the dog every day you can but if you get stuck or have questions the team is super helpful!!

    The Trainers at Dog Trainihg Elite Central Nashville have been phenomenal. My dog, Friend Lee D(awg) is a very sensitive Kerry Blue Terrier who is so grateful I took the leap to get myself trained 🤣 Each trainer has been cordial, professional, quite knowledgeable in their training of Friend Lee. There is awesome communication with calls, texts, and appointment reminders. They have been patient with me and my dog -- very firm, gentle and consistent in their positive approaches. Friend Lee D is a totally new and improved dog. My family immediately noticed how calm and obedient he is. Friend Lee now has commands, assignments and purpose. We both know what we're doing and feel a sense of peace and calm. Our stars align!. I am grateful for entire Dog Training Elite team. Thank you all for your excellence! ~Jackie Grace

    We are early in the process, however, I must say Rhett visited us today for the first visit and was wonderful to deal with. As a previous high pressure salesman, I don’t like to be pressured on purchases whether it’s buying a car or getting training for our new puppy. He was so laid back and low pressure, I decided to go with his recommended package and move forward using DTE. I’ll update as we go forward with training, but if it goes half as well as the house visit, this will stay at a five star!

    I am continually impressed with Austin. He's doing a phenomenal job with Vinnie. The improvements that we see are shocking. You wouldn't recognize this dog from 3 months ago. When I called Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, I was at my wit end. We met Austin for our initial consultation. And we decided to go ahead, and it's been the best decision we've ever made. Austin you are amazing, and we look forward to the next training session. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They are a promotional company. The love and care that is given goes above and beyond anything I expected. I can't say thank you enough.

    Our consultation with Reina was great. She listened to the goals I have for my puppy, and mapped out how we would get there with DTE’s help. I appreciated her kindness and her professionalism. And the consultation is free of charge. Our weekly trainer Kaitlyn is wonderful. The training sessions are informative and instructive so I just need to do the work with Brody in between. I can text with my questions and they always get back to me quickly. We highly recommend DTE, and Kaitlyn.🙂♥️🐾

    Aiden was great. It was our first visit and she was responding right away. I like the calm thoughtful training and not being forceful as I have seen in the past with other companies. I look forward to our entire program.

Boxer Training Tips

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