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 Salt Lake City, 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.

    Absolutely recommend. We got our black German shepherd early and were nervous about taking him into puppy classes so young. Our at home visits are perfect for us until our puppy is big enough to attend puppy school from them! He is already learning so much, We can't wait to see what he can become

    We love Dog Training Elite! Our little Luna loved it too! She fell in love with McCall and would get so excited to see her everyday! It was so comforting knowing she was loved and snuggled by everyone there. We have seen a huge difference in Luna’s behavior since she graduated from her two weeks with McCall. McCall took her time with us, answered any questions we had, and explained what they had worked on each day. Luna’s confidence continues to grow, as we work on things at home. I’m really looking forward to group classes, and am so excited to see Luna continually learning, and progressing! Thank you so much McCall!! We couldn’t be more pleased!!

    Been doing PTSD service dog training with them for almost a year and it's been nothing short of amazing! Everyone is super friendly and caring and it's been a breeze to work with them! I started on the gold star training program when my pup turned 1 and suddenly forgot all the training I taught her(aka turned into a stubborn teenager). They helped me navigate and understand her body language and behaviors and it's the best investment I made! We've enjoyed the group classes at Fairmont Park too!

    We've worked with McCall, Dallen, and Jeff at Dog Training Elite for several months. First for puppy training when our puppy was 11 weeks old, then for obedience training, which we are finishing up today. It's been a great experience, and they are all so good at what they do! We purchased a training program that has lifetime support, which we plan on using often. If you're on the fence, use DTE. They won't disappoint.

    We loved meeting our trainer!! We are 100% confident after meeting with Dallin that we can become better dog parents - and new born parents as well. Dallin helped instill confidence in crate training, and gave us valuable insights before we get our facility time. We need training as much as our dog, and we are beyond thankful to be apart of your program! Thank you guys! Edit 1: 3 days of classes later - Sophie is a different dog all together. She listens, she isn't reactive to little kids, and the best part is our walks are bliss. No pulling, no anxiety, no jumping at other dogs. It's magic! Our golden-doodle at 7 years old is everything we had hoped for. This company KNOWS how to train both YOU and the dog so you can work together. I was worried I was going to lose my best friend due to her being so reactive - these guys kept my family together.

    The difference in our dog’s behavior with their training was amazing. McCall was so amazing with him. He loved going there every day too, and was so excited to run in the dog to meet McCall and other doggie friends. I would totally recommend elite to everyone!

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.
