What Sets Dobermans Apart?


Read More
Read Less

While all dogs are individuals with their own personalities and dispositions, many Dobermans share a few key traits. Those who know and love Dobermans appreciate their loyal nature. Often referred to as “velcro dogs,” Dobermans are devoted to their owners and will often follow their chosen humans throughout the house.

When trained correctly, Dobermans are incredibly obedient and protective. Intelligent and motivated to please, Dobermans were historically bred as work dogs and still make excellent therapy companions. Dobermans also tend to be energetic and need plenty of enrichment and attention.

    Saran deserved 5 stars! She is an excellent trainer. Sarah is knowledgeable and has developed a great rapport with Rosie. She answers all My questions snd makes very clear, good suggestions as to what I can do to help Rosie be successful. We are very happy with our sessions ends and we are sad to see the one in one sessions coming to an end. We look forward to the group sessions.

    Demon adores Sarah and responds well to her energy. We love her and how much better our relationship is with our boy since starting training with Dog Training Elite. I adore her and enjoy our training sessions. When I met with Rich I was like many people who didn’t understand the way that each training tool works when used properly and under their guidance I became the owner demon needs to be his best self with the help of Sarah and she has to help me at times adjust myself but it makes me eternally grateful we signed up for platinum because now he has a trainer for life! They continue to support me as I run into things that overstimulate him which always makes me appreciate being a platinum customer.

    Rich and Sara are awesome! Really recommend for therapy dog training. Meatball passed his therapy dog testing in about 6 months! Best part was that they come to you for training. Great experience.

    Both trainers that I have dealt with are extremely good and patient. This program is definitely worth it if you are willing to put the time in as an owner. They gave me the tools and insight to dog behavior I wasnt sure of and the transformation of my dog is amazing. I have a large/stubborn dog that I felt I was losing control of as we had a couple bad encounters with other dogs (my dog being attacked). The trainers helped me regain leadership of my dog and I have never in my life had such a well behaved dog and get compliments everytime I take him on a walk or out in public. If you are willing to put the time and effort in, it is 100% a game changer and works.

    Very personable. He made us feel like what we are dealing with is completely doable and not abnormal or unable to be fixed. Our dog warmed up to him and gave us home. Then he demonstrated with his dog what things look like. I really appreciated that. We are new dog owners and the visual was very beneficial!

    I am so pleased with Sarah for her experience and patience with my doggo. She explains all the techniques thoroughly making it easy to continue with his training between sessions.

    Only had 1 session so far but I can see a difference. Looking forward to more!! People have noticed the difference in her. 2nd session and I can't believe she can do a place!!! Rich and Sarah are wonderful!!!! Can't wait until the next one!! I need more training than the dog does!! She is doing great, but I need to make more time to work with her and to remember to use the correct words with her. She is a different dog. Her bad habits are disappearing!!! Can't wait for the next lesson!!! Lesson #5!!! Sarah can get her to do anything!!! We like Sarah very much!! She does everything in a very calm environment for the dog. Never raises her voice or gets frustrated. We are done with our lessons now and we could not be happier with the whole experience and the outcome. Having a trained dog makes everyday so much more enjoyable!! You might at first think it's a little pricey, but the one on one training and doing it at your house where the dog is most comfortable and you also, is the best experience. I can't say enough good things about our experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Both Rich and Sarah are great!! They don't rush anything, they explain everything as many times as you need it. Today being the last lesson, our dog was giving Sarah kisses. She enjoyed the experience too!!! Thank you Rich and Sarah!!!

    My dog, Madigan, has completed her Basic Obedience, and I am very pleased with the results. Today we finished up some service skills with Richa and Sarah at the Mall. We are also attending group classes. Also, Madigan is being trained as my Service Dog and when finished will bring her in periodically for "refresher" courses. Looking forward to continuing with Dog Training Elite Michiana.

Why Train Dobermans?

Read More
Read Less

Dobermans have the potential to be incredible companions and content family dogs with the correct training and attention. Dobermans are eager to please and can help protect and keep you company. On the other hand, their energetic nature and high intelligence can also lead to destructive behavior without proper enrichment and direction. They are also large and powerful dogs that can easily become dangerous without guidance, just as all breeds can.

Dobermans thrive with enrichment and direction, and it is always safest to have a well-trained dog. Your dog, family, and community are best served by thorough training and ongoing exercise and enrichment. Having the peace of mind that your dog will obey your directions no matter the environment and circumstances is the best way to keep everyone safe.

When it comes to dog training, earlier is always better with South Bend / Elkhart Doberman puppy training, but that’s not to say that older dogs cannot or should not be trained. Especially with such an intelligent dog breed, training at any age is an excellent choice. Other signs that it’s time to start training include aggression toward other dogs or people, anxiety in public spaces, or poor recall.
