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 Treasure Coast / North PB County, 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.

    When I first brought Rocky to Elite Training, he was the craziest little pup ever! The difference in him now is incredible. I feel confident letting him outside, having him hold his place, and taking him on walks without constantly pulling or going crazy. The progress he’s made has been amazing. What really makes Elite Training stand out, though, is the people. Every employee has been top-notch. From the girls at the front desk who are always ready with a smile, a joke, and a warm welcome, to trainers like Nick and Nate who truly go above and beyond. They’ve even come to our home, treated our space with nothing but respect, and were incredibly patient while walking us through everything step by step. They never make you feel rushed and take the time to explain not only what to do, but how and why it works. 10/10 experience all around. I couldn’t be happier with Rocky’s progress and the support we’ve received. We can’t wait to continue with the group training!

    Used DTE in Fort Pierce. Our dog was a rescue from the pound and then extremely spoiled of-course so he needed some help in the training department and so did we as new dog owners. We went with DTE because they were local and the pricing was fair for what you get. We have completed 8 in home sessions and 8 group classes thus far and will continue. Still a work in progress but we have seen improvement and have learned A-LOT along the way! We have also met and worked with some really awesome trainers. Highly recommend Laura and Nate’s group classes. They’re both awesome trainers and will love your dog like their own.

    There are several things you’ll notice about the Dog Training Elite team of the Treasure Coast, whether you visit their facility or you're working with a trainer. These are just a few reasons for my 5-star review: 1. The Owners Are Trainers Themselves- In fact, unless you’ve done your homework, you won’t know that the person greeting you and your dog in the lobby and giving you tips when your dog reacts, just so happens to own the place. They are completely hands-on. 2. This may be a business of training dogs, but the staff all have special skill sets for working with humans, to show up the way they do with customers. Every call, every request is handled kindly and efficiently. They don’t leave you hanging and waiting – they really follow through – cheerfully, no less. Every person on the staff gives you the feeling that they truly love what they do. This makes a huge difference, day in and day out, in how they handle anything that comes up. 3. The trainers (so far I’ve worked with Nick and Nate) have a kind of “contagious calmness” about them. As a newbie to dog training, I’m really impressed with how they greet all of my questions and concerns with the same kind of enthusiastic reassurance that my puppy responded to immediately. (You can’t fool a dog!) Trust me, you’ll want to emulate their behavior yourself when you see the best in your dog start to surface. 4. The 6 months of unlimited group classes in the package I chose, proves to me that they're patiently with you, committed to your-and your dog's -progress. Some things take time and, if you haven't already learned patience yourself, you will by watching the trainers. In short, I highly recommend this business for you and your dog. They set a very high bar!

    I never would have thought it possible for my dog to learn so much in such a short amount of time. The trainers were wonderful with her and with us as they taught us how to support her continued training. They recognized and valued her personality as she learned the obedience skills they were teaching. They worked with our schedule and provided the necessary encouragement for us and for her. I would recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants to build a strong relationship with their well-behaved dog.

    Our pup has made huge progress since we began training with Nate and the rest of the team. Nate was very knowledgeable and adjusted our sessions to address any immediate concerns we had with our newly adopted dog. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing experience with this training company, especially with our trainer, Cassandra. I have a young, high-energy Golden Retriever who was very high-strung and easily distracted in public, making it stressful and unenjoyable to take him places. After working with Cassandra, the difference has been amazing. She gave us the tools and confidence to communicate with him, and his behavior has improved tremendously. It’s now genuinely enjoyable to take him out, and the training has truly changed our lives. We couldn’t recommend Dog Training Elite more!!

    WOW what a great experience! I was skeptical at first as I thought our dog was untrainable. Our dog is a whippet mix and a handful, didn't listen, wouldn't follow simple commands, wouldn't walk on a leash, and we were at our wits end. We found Dog Training Elite in Fort Pierce and am so glad we did. After one week, he's a different dog. He's learned all the basic commands and is a pleasure to be around. The videos they send of his training sessions are fun to watch and the "how to" videos are a great follow-up after the training is completed. The trainers are so patient and take their time with your dog (and you). I wish we would have done this sooner. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite and wish I could give more than 5 stars.

    This was located in Fort Pierce Florida close to our house. The dog is a lot calmer now and easier to control. We acquired her from an animal shelter and worried about how she would be. Her DNA report said she was part Siberian Husky and Shih tzu so we have a shitsky or huskyzu or so it is said and she is very active. The school calmed this down. I am thankful for that.

    Last year, we moved our puppies from a 5-acre farm where they had absolute freedom to a townhouse in Hobe Sound. WOW—what a transition it was for my husband James, our boys Scout and Atticus, and me! James and I were at our wits’ end trying to adapt the boys to townhouse life. There were lots of walks, endless patience, and plenty of frustration for all of us. I knew we needed real help, so I did a Google search and found Dog Training Elite. Shelley was our first point of contact, and the evaluation process was super easy. Because I have a disability and James spent 30 years in the US Coast Guard with mobility issues that will likely become more challenging as we age, we decided the service dog training package was the best option for us. From day one, the entire crew at DTE has been absolutely amazing. Boot camp was awesome, but it quickly became clear that it wasn’t the dogs who needed the most training—it was us! Scout and Atticus were smart and picked up the program way faster than we did. Every step of the way, Shelley, Graham, Nate, Taylor, Laura, and the rest of the team made the whole learning experience fun and rewarding. The group classes, service dog classes, and real-world outings have been incredible. They’ve not only deepened our bond with our pups but also introduced us to a wonderful community of people we truly enjoy spending time with. DTE really goes above and beyond. We just attended their First Aid Class taught by a veterinarian, and the events they host are fantastic for building the dogs’ confidence in real-world situations. I can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found Dog Training Elite. Whether you’re looking for basic obedience, advanced training, or full service dog work (PTSD, mobility, or anything else), these are the people to go to. In my opinion, you won’t find a more caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable group anywhere.

    Dog training elite has made an amazing difference in my dogs. One of my dogs was a rescue from a puppy mill, 2 years old , never house broken, a real challenge. Today he is a different animal, he and I are very happy.
