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, 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.

    Bailey came from Little Rock to Heber Springs for our evaluation and went above and beyond to show us that our aggressive Labrador Retriever (Rocko) could be trained! We were amazed by her ability and strength to control every situation that Rocko displayed. We appreciate her commitment and dedication throughout the training. Thank you Bailey and Dog Training Elite for all you do!

    We live in Stuart Florida. We reached out to Dog Training Elite for help training our chocolate Labrador, Max. From the initial consultation to the beginning training we were extremely satisfied with the skill and professionalism of the trainers. Graham was very patient and knowledgeable helping us learn the valuable information needed to build a successful relationship with Max. Clara and Madison were very accommodating with scheduling our sessions. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite! Max is on his way to being a well trained obedient boy.

    Great staff, great training, group classes are amazing and so helpfull. Training our service dog teddy with there help and the results are astounding right from a puppy. Has competitive prices compared to other trainers. I personally have worked with Alex and Dom, can't say enough nice things about them both. The whole family at DTE has been so vital in teddy being the big success he has become. Teddy comes to work with me as a crossing guard for our police department. The kids love saying good morning to him, and he looks forward to sitting there and watching them all cross safely.

    Ramiro was excellent! Very thorough and never makes you feel uncomfortable asking the same question over again. It is nice to feel back in control and not like my dog has trained me. 😂 He is tougher but that doesn’t deter our dog from wanting to be by him. I guess it proves his point that dogs want to be led. We did the platinum option so we can go to group classes and ask questions for the life of our dog. I wouldn’t hesitate at all in recommending this business. Just call you will be happy you did!

While we look at what challenges owners face with specific breeds, the key to dog training is maintaining a consistent schedule to ensure the desired behavior you seek.

The training programs offered at Dog Training Elite come in a general form, but we also provide breed-specific training to target breed-specific issues. Suppose your breed is highly energetic. In that case, we have programs to help you and your dog maintain an active and healthy lifestyle while ensuring that your dog retains the standard obedience training that any dog needs.

Though breed-specific training is taken into account, all of Dog Training Elite’s training programs are based on a foundation of consistency and balance.
