What Role Does Breed Play?


Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training your dog, understanding their breed can be crucial for achieving the best results. While all dogs generally share qualities like loyalty, kindness, and intelligence, specific breeds often have unique traits that influence their behavior and learning style. For instance, dogs bred for working roles, such as Border Collies or German Shepherds, tend to be more energetic and intelligent, excelling in tasks that challenge their minds and bodies. On the other hand, companion breeds like Bulldogs or Shih Tzus may have a more laid-back demeanor, requiring a different approach that emphasizes patience and balanced training.

At Dog Training Elite Omaha, we recognize the importance of considering these breed-specific tendencies when developing a training plan. Our approach tailors methods to suit your dog’s natural instincts and behaviors, whether they are a high-energy herder, a protective guardian, or a relaxed companion. This personalized strategy ensures that your dog reaches their full potential, creating a well-behaved and happy companion that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    Fantastic experience with Benny in dog training! Thank you for everything.

    Our experience with Bob at Dog Training Elite was wonderful. We have a 4 year old Golden Retriever who was very reactive to strangers walking by our yard, and while she would respond well to a number of commands, we knew we needed guidance in how to address her reactivity. I spent a lot of time researching dog trainers and interviewed a number of them. Bob not only came over to meet our dog personally, but he took his time thoroughly explaining the program and answered all of my questions in great detail. He never made me feel rushed, and he personalized the consultation by explaining how he would specifically address each of the areas I brought up. Each training session, he did a fantastic job of explaining the reasoning behind what we were doing and how to effectively enforce it. He would also go over various situations we might experience so that we were prepared and equipped in how to handle them if/when they would arise before our next training session. He was flexible with our schedule, and always prompt and thorough in our appointments. He made training enjoyable, and helped incorporate our kids into training as well. Our Golden Retriever, Maya, has responded so well to training! She has much better door manners, walks amazingly off leash, and is much less reactive to people walking by her invisible fence. Overall, we have been extremely satisfied with Dog Training Elite and highly recommend the program!

    Bob is one of the best trainers I’ve worked with. I would recommend him and his company hands down.

    There is not high enough praise that I can give Bob, Samarria, and Dave as dog trainers. Cece is a 110# "teenage" Rottweiler that was stubborn, dog reactive, human reactive, and just generally a pain in the butt to try to take out for walks. After working with Bob and Samarria for a few lessons, she is SO much better. They train her in her own environment, where she has the problems, not a sterile facility where nothing just "pops up". Samarria taught me how to deal with her dog reactivity in under an hour and walks are just wonderful now. I love taking her to the group classes, too, because it ties everything together and keeps her exposed to people and other dogs. My recommendation is yes, let them train your dogs. You will not regret it.

    Bob and the Elite dog training crew were great for my dog Herbie and me. People coming to the door used to be a disaster since he was loud and in their faces. Now after learning spot he stays in his spot until released and is much calming with greetings. This has been amazing along with many other things we learned.

    This photo will tell you all you need to know that the training works. Never in a million years would I think I could bring my dog Tofu into public places. Tofu had such bad fear aggression. She would bark constantly, lung, and drag. After, the training with Bob, there has been huge improvement with Tofu. I use to fear having guest over to my place or would be anxious going to public places with Tofu, but now it’s super simple and she’s obedient, confident, less fearful, and actually can enjoy herself in these places knowing that her owner can give her guidance and trust that the training had provided.

    We couldn’t be more pleased with the support we got from Dog Training Elite. My husband didn’t believe that our six-year-old, totally out-of-control St Bernard could learn to behave, but Bob and his team were up to the task.The transformation has been amazing! Our “baby” Winston has gone from lounging on furniture and jumping on people, to following all the basic commands like come, sit, heel, down, place, off and quiet. It’s so much easier for us, and others, to enjoy a well behaved dog. But the real value from the sessions is that they helped us feel more confident as dog owners and closer to Winston. We truly enjoyed the process. Bob runs a fantastic operation. Highly recommend!

    I would recommend Bob at Dog Training Elite daily! I had a people and dog reactive, misbehaved, and undisciplined Great Dane. I became overwhelmed and had no idea what to do with her behavior. I called Bob and he was confident that he could help me. After session one, I immediately saw a difference in behavior. I can now take Ellie with me anywhere! We had our first group class a year ago and not only was Bob extremely encouraging, everyone was so patient and very welcoming! Hiring Dog Training Elite was the best decision I have ever made for Ellie. One year later… I have the best dog I could have ever asked for. Ellie is primarily worked off-leash now. I get complimented every time we are out on how well behaved she is. The confidence that the training gave her and myself cannot be matched.

    Bob is the greatest! We have two doodles with a lot of energy. Walking was impossible, they jumped on anyone that came through the door and the barking was out of control. Basically they ran the house. After six weeks of training they are now listening to our commands and we are able to walk them. Perfect? Not yet but pretty darn close! Thank you Bob for making them close. Highly recommend.

    Bob, you are an absolute wizard! You taught Gunner (and frankly us) more in our first hour together than we hoped to accomplish in the complete course. Your mixture of caring instructions and lots of love throughout is perfect and hugely impressive. We greatly appreciate you restoring our hopes for our dogs that we thought were long lost dreams. I can’t recommend you and your methods highly enough. Thank you, thank you! Jerry M.

    I sought out help when my large black lab Blue was becoming difficult for me to handle. Bob came to my home and witnessed many of the bad habits as we spoke. After the first week with the command "come" there was a world of improvement and it has gotten increasingly better ever since. Blue and I completed 5 private training sessions and are now working at group training to continue to hone his training. I would highly recommend DTE.

    Bob did a great job with Athena. She is the smartest, most stubborn dog we've ever known, and he was very patient with her. The training technique is straightforward and consistent; easy for pet parents to learn and implement. (In the photo, Athena is far right.)

    DTE has helped so incredibly much with making our house less stressful and more joined. My boyfriend and I moved into our house in the summer and brought with us his English bulldog mix and my American pit bull terrier mix. And one cat. We kept them separate with baby gates for about four months until we were fed up with one of them always being left out. We found Bob and DTE online and after reading the reviews and meeting with him one-on-one, we decided to pull the trigger. It truly is an investment in your dogs future, and also yours. Our house is so much better off after the training and the use of the e-collars. We have loved seeing how smart out boys really are, what they’re capable of, and getting to know more of their personalities. It will always be an on-going process, but it’s so very worth it. Thank you Bob & the DTE team!

    We have an entirely different dog 🩷 By working with Bob, we now have an extremely happy dog (pics for proof). Prior to working with Bob at Dog Training Elite - Omaha, our pup would bark at strangers in our home for 30+ minutes, demand barked, whined excessively, pulled on leash, and could not be around other dogs without absolutely freaking out. Now, he appears so much more comfortable, confident, and consistently looks to us for guidance - really demonstrating a trusting relationship. We now feel comfortable introducing our pup to others without fear he will scare them! Our family and friends have noticed a major difference!! We are so grateful we reached out to Bob. He was kind and patient with us and our dog absolutely loved working with him. His tail never stops wagging now!

    We have our golden doodle going through service dog training with Dog Training Elite. Bob, Mari and Dave have been so great with his training. They are so kind and professional and are so good at explaining what we need to do to get our pup to where he needs to be. I highly recommend using them for your dog training needs. They are also very good at teaching us how to keep up our dogs training at home and we have learned so much from them.

    5 Stars for the people at Dog Training Elite in Omaha. My dog and I moved from a large house to a one-bedroom apartment. Not being used to large numbers of strangers and activities, my dog became very stressed and barked constantly. I just finished the last of my 5 sessions and the change in his temperament is remarkable. I'll now start bringing him to the weekly group exercises, that are included in the training package, to get him accustomed to being around other dogs. Kudos to Bob and his dog training elite staff.
