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 of Port Charlotte, 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.

    Jessica came to our home for first training lesson and we all learned quite a bit. She was very informative and we are confident our Teddy boy (year and a half mini schnauzer) will learn to be a well trained dog. We also will be well trained! Jess was exceptional in her guidance on what we need to do to get Teddy on the right path and us too! Happy we found DTE to help us teach our dog obedience training. 2nd lesson, Jess taught us lesson on Place and Break. I am amazed how she teaches our pup how to listen and obey these commands. She has so much patience with our Teddy pup and us. We are making progress!

    Excellent morning of training. She gave us confidence that 3 1/2 year old dogs could be trained ( finally ) to be polite and obedient.

    Very friendly staff. Very good dog training as well as training the dog owner. Take as long as needed for training, no rush. Cost is on the higher end but worth it if owner/dog needs more time than usual.
