Popular Service Dog Breeds

Finding a service dog that fits your individual needs is important, especially for military veteran support. While most dogs can be trained to become service dogs, a few breeds stand out due to their personalities and inherent traits.

Here are a few of the most popular service dog breeds:

Labrador Retrievers: Labradors are intelligent, versatile, and eager to please, making them ideal for PTSD service dogs. Their trainability allows them to excel in roles like guide dogs, mobility support, and emotional support, making them highly adaptable for veterans.
Golden Retrievers: Golden Retrievers are known for their calm, gentle nature and strong work ethic. They are excellent at providing mobility assistance and emotional support, especially for veterans with PTSD, due to their patient and loving temperament.
German Shepherds: German Shepherds are strong, loyal, and highly intelligent, making them excellent service dogs. Their protective instincts and trainability allow them to assist with mobility, search and rescue, and provide emotional support for veterans.
Malinois: Belgian Malinois are known for their deep loyalty and intelligence. Malinois are not for everyone due to their energy and drive, but for retired veterans who appreciate discipline, structure, and a deep connection, they can be life-changing companions.

Service dogs undergo extensive specialized training to perform their tasks and assist their owners. Our training process involves a combination of obedience training, task training, and public access training.

Obedience Training: This training focuses on teaching a dog basic commands, such as sit, down, heel, come, as well as proper leash manners and socialization skills.
Task Training: Task training is tailored to fit the needs of each individual. It involves teaching the dog to perform tasks that mitigate the person’s disability, such as retrieving items, opening doors, or providing deep pressure therapy.
Public Access Training: This type of training is crucial to ensure the dog remains calm, well-behaved, and non-disruptive in various public settings. This training includes exposure to different environments, distractions, and social interactions to provide a dog that can confidently navigate public spaces.

As a local business owner, having a reliable 'office dog' is a game-changer for our daily operations, and we owe that entirely to Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando. We originally brought Okey to them as a 6-month-old with the goal of service dog certification, and the process was so seamless and professional that he is now the perfect addition to our workspace—calm, focused, and impeccably behaved around clients. We were so impressed by the 'elite' standard they maintain that we’ve already entrusted them with our two newest puppies. If you’re looking to elevate your dog’s behavior to a professional level, I cannot recommend this team enough. They are truly the best in the industry!

Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando have earned our trust completely. After seeing the incredible transformation of our 6-month-old service dog, Okey, we knew we couldn’t go anywhere else. We now have two more puppies in their care, and the results are already showing. They make the training process fun for both the dogs and the owners. Do yourself a favor and send your dogs to the best in town!

Training a dog can feel like a daunting task, but Cheyenne and Chelsea made it feel effortless. The progress our pup made was nothing short of amazing. The entire experience was so positive and well-organized that we didn't think twice about enrolling our two new puppies. If you want an easy, enjoyable, and effective training journey, Dog Training Elite Orlando is the only place to go.

Absolutely stellar experience! Cheyenne and Chelsea are miracle workers. They took our 6-month-old dog, and helped us turn him into a service dog with such ease. We loved the process so much that we brought two more puppies to them for training! This is hands-down the best place in Orlando for your furry family members. Five stars isn't enough!

If you are looking for top-tier obedience or service dog training, Cheyenne and Chelsea at Dog Training Elite Orlando are the best in the business. They helped us transform our 6-month-old dog, Okey, into a fully capable service dog through a process that was seamless and stress-free. The quality of their work is so consistent that we now have our two newest puppies training with them as well. It is an absolute joy to work with this team—don’t hesitate to trust them with your dogs.

I cannot say enough good things about Dog Training Elite Orlando. We started our journey with Okey, our 6-month-old pup, who we hoped could become a service dog. Thanks to Cheyenne and Chelsea’s expertise, the process was incredibly smooth and rewarding. They didn’t just train Okey; they gave us the tools to succeed as a team. We were so impressed with the results and the enjoyable experience that we’ve already enrolled our two newest puppies in their program. If you want trainers who truly care and deliver elite results, look no further!

We brought our anxious 4-month-old Rough Collie puppy to Cheyenne and Chelsea for obedience and service dog training. They are truly incredible trainers who transformed our unruly nervous puppy into a emboldened model service dog. In fact, we were so impressed that we were bold enough to get two more pups (at the same time!) who we’ve already enrolled into their programs! If you want your dogs to be well-behaved members of your family, who can accompany you anywhere—from public outings to stress-free vet visits—this is the team to call. As a pilot and surfer, having "adventure dogs" who can keep up with my lifestyle is essential. My oldest has accompanied me surfing, kayaking, flying, to theme parks, shopping, everywhere. The impact on our home’s stress level has been worth every penny. I cannot recommend them enough.

Today we had a lesson at the Training Site and it was really interesting to see how my dog behaved around other dogs doing the same training. If you’re not sure if your doing the training correctly, just asked the staff. They know your dog well and are super friendly.

Our experience with Dog Training Elite Orlando has been incredible. Eros started in the Platinum program and now we are continuing with the Service Dog program, and we have truly seen an impressive transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence. What makes this place special is the quality and dedication of their trainers. Chelsea, Cheyenne, Logan, and Emily have been absolutely wonderful. They are always patient, professional, and it’s clear that they truly love what they do. They have guided us step by step and are always willing to answer questions and help us improve as handlers. The training doesn’t focus only on the dog; they also teach the owner how to properly work with their dog to maintain long-term progress. Thanks to their support.

I’ve been working with DTE to train my service dog from day one, I can’t say enough about how great this experience has been. They really set every dog up for success. The support I have received and expertise I have witnessed is unmatched. I can say without reservation that I would recommend them to anyone.

After one week of camp training, Logan transformed my terrier into an obedient dog that recalls what she learned in class. She improved tremendously at socializing with other dogs by being at camp with them.

When searching for puppy training I was unsure of what to look for. However, my Pepper and I checked out a couple places. The moment he stepped into the training area at Dog Training Elite, he was mesmerized. I had to pull him away when it was time to leave. So truly Pepper chose Elite. There he learned the basics and it was so very easy to practice at home. The videos sent to me are the best source of reference for me as an owner. I have a busy work schedule so referring back to the videos and having practice sessions with Pepper have been great. I totally recommend Dog Training Elite, my dog has been very easy to correct and he remembers the commands. I haven't utilized the group sessions yet but I took advantage of a package that included a week long all day training camp for my puppy. Totally pleased with this investment and hope to continue utilizing Dog Training Elite in the future.

Since rescuing my almost 2 year baby, we have gone through two different trainers before coming to Elite. My guy is very smart and sweet but very stubborn and had issues with fixations, boundaries and not having a recall to literally save his life. The first trainers were just awful and the second was wonderful, but Otis needed a different approach to training and Dog Training Elite was it! There was a night and day difference on day 1! Read that again .. day 1! Emily, Cheyenne, and Chelsea are just incredible people and so good at what they do! Otis did their two week program and it was the best thing I could have done for him. What I liked most about it is it’s not a board and train. I dropped him off for school in the morning and picked him up after work. He has a new level of confidence and he is more approachable with other dogs, meaning they want to play and engage with him first vs him not respecting boundaries and pushing himself onto others. He listens so well and his recall you ask? Fantastic :) He’s a potato with feet so I don’t expect him to come running but when I call his name but now he always turns and/or stops. I’m so proud of him and us and beyond thankful that I finally took him here. We are always training. Heel is a struggle for us but we’re getting there. This was exactly what my stubborn bully needed 😃 Thank you again!!

We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum and is about to start psychiatric training. 10/10 recommend and cannot thank the staff enough ! Cheyanne and Chelsea are amazing with evaluating and helping you choose which program would be the best fit for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . Logan and the other trainers that works with Remus , are super nice, helpful, and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program and dogs health! We saw an immediate difference in Remus within just 1-2 days of him training in the classes and it has boost his confidence level . He looks happier and shows a more confident and prouder stance in how he represents himself. In addition, the group classes and outings with the pack make it a great learning experience and welcoming to participate no matter where you are at training wise with your furry companion. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!!

Craig did an amazing job training our mini-bernedoodles to become task-trained service dogs. We feel confident taking them in public and they have flown on over 15 flights since May, most of which are over 5 hours. Craig was very patient and helped the dogs go from puppies who needed obedience training to full service animals.

The training has been great, you can definitely see the gradual progress. The beginning vs present change is notable. It’s like meeting a brand new dog. Our dog Brandy was super hyperactive and reacted to anything that he saw outside pulling on the leash. Now he’s a-lot calmer and well behaved.

Thank you to Craig and DTE for helping us train our mini Bernedoodle! The one on one training and group classes are helping us so much. And it’s fun at the same time! We highly recommend. Thank you again!
