French Bulldog Personality


Read More

French bulldogs are known for being even-tempered and playful. Because of their size, they can do well in smaller homes and apartments, making them an ideal companion for city life.

Two of the best qualities of French bulldogs are their adaptability and ability to get along well with children. However, while these traits may be innate, it's still an excellent idea to enroll a dog in training to help build their socialization skills and teach them basic commands for safety.

French bulldogs instinctively bark to alert you when strangers are at the door. Training can teach your dog how to respond appropriately to avoid excessive barking and alerts whenever the mail or delivery man drops off a package. This training can be vital in an apartment setting to maintain peace in a shared complex. While they may not need much exercise due to their small size and stature, training your dog to walk on a leash is still a good idea. Walking is a great opportunity for your dog to get outside and discover new things. Your dog may make new friends with both people and canines.

Training can help make this experience safe and fun for you and your dog. Because French bulldogs are friendly, you'll want to train them to socialize appropriately with people and dogs that may be less open to meeting new friends.

As your Frenchie will probably enjoy ample time indoors, it's also great to train them to communicate when they need to go potty. Accidents happen, and dogs often need to be trained on what to do when they need to go to avoid having them.

    We started with Dog Training Elite after interviewing a few places when our pup was roughly 12 weeks old. He started with puppy camp, puppy obedience and got the nickname Vampire from one of the trainers, and now in service training. We've trained our other dogs in the past with other companies before, and this has been the best experience by far. Patient, skilled, and genuinely good with our big, slow-maturing bubba. The foundation they built with Atlas is solid and they keep us accountable, too.

    Tonya turned my skittish standard poodle into a confident service dog that excels at what he does! At home training is the best way to train your dog, as not only was my Teddy getting trained, but so was I! It was magical to see him grow and learn and Tonya was so supportive on our journey. Thank you so much Tonya!

    We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Tonya as our dog trainer for our beloved pup, Roumie. From our very first session, it was clear that Tonya is not just a trainer; she is a true dog whisperer. Her gentle and patient demeanor puts me and Roumie at ease, creating an environment where learning can thrive. Tonya takes the time to truly understand Roumie’s personality and needs, forging a connection that feels like an extension of our family. She invests herself fully in not just the training process, but in empowering us as a family to be the best dog owners we can be. Her practical tips and techniques have made a significant difference in setting Roumie up to be the well-behaved doodle in our community. What we appreciate most is her ability to tailor her approach to fit our family dynamics, ensuring that every member feels involved and capable. Tonya’s support has been invaluable, and we leave each session feeling more confident and equipped to handle any situation with Roumie. We wholeheartedly recommend Tonya to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective dog trainer. With her guidance, Roumie is not only learning but also thriving. Thank you, Tonya, for everything you do!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite! My daughter and I absolutely love and appreciate them—if I could give 10 stars, I would! They’ve been an integral part of our journey with Wolfie, our almost five-month-old husky. From puppy camp to obedience training, and now into the service dog program, they’ve been phenomenal. Kim, the owner, is like a guiding maternal figure—so warm and dedicated. And Aaron, her son, is equally incredible—so supportive and kind. They hold you and your dog accountable in the best way possible—firm but always respectful, never making you feel pressured or uneasy. The support they provide is just invaluable—especially with the personal videos that help us keep practicing at home. If you’re looking for dog training, especially for service dog training, this is the place!

    We just completed our advanced obedience and service dog training with Tonya and couldn’t be happier with the results! Together we were able to harness the goofy energy of a Chocolate Lab and successfully pass the public access and service dog tests. Tonya will introduce the command to your dog and then teach YOU how to continue teaching your pet, gives you homework between lessons and asks for videos so she can continue to evaluate the dogs and handlers progress all while providing you the support you need to be successful. We couldn’t be happier with Tonya and DTE and we continue with occasional group lessons and outings even after completion to help keep us sharp.

    This has been an amazing experience! My Lab puppy is learning manners and control. I really didn’t think it was possible! Tonya is the best

    Do yourself a favor & choose Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa. After the loss of my husband & dog, I had a huge hole to fill. Having some medical issues myself, I knew I needed a Service Dog. Tonya has been the absolute best not only with Jethro but with me. Training has gone slower because of a slow healing surgery but Tonya has hung in there with me showing so much patience. Her knowledge is amazing. I ask a lot of questions because I want to get this right. She can teach us so much in a matter of minutes, it’s unbelievable. I promise you won’t regret choosing Tonya. I will never be able to thank her enough for the gift she has given me. Jethro has already accompanied me to TGH for an overnight stay & what a difference it made in my life. Thank you, Tonya. You truly change lives. ❤️

    I had a wonderful time training with Tonya from Dog Training Elite. I wish I had more time with her but she brought us over the top to make my Aussie a great service dog! She worked with us on task training, group classes are good experience, and the airport visit was great! She was great with TSA - even got a pat down! Sat and stayed while I walked through and then came to me on command! She was great and enjoyed the experience! This is her on the plane😎👍❤️. Thanks Tonya!

    Excellent experience to have Tonya come into our home and train our puppy. Always very accommodating with scheduling, we are a busy family so the at home training was the best! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite you will see promising results in the comfort of your own home.

    I cannot recommend DTE enough. They’ve been absolutely amazing working with my dog, Ozzy. He’s not even finished with his training yet, but he’s already a completely different dog. The improvement in his manners, obedience, and overall behavior has been incredible to see. What I appreciate most is their honesty and integrity. They don’t try to sell you more than you need—they recommend the training packages that truly fit you and your dog, nothing more and nothing less. That kind of transparency is rare and really speaks to their professionalism. Ozzy is training to become a service dog, and the foundation they’re helping build is already making a huge difference. I’m so glad they were the first trainers I reached out to. If you want to better your dog while also becoming a better dog owner yourself, I would highly recommend them.

    The whole team at Dog Training Elite Suncoast in Clearwater is amazing. From our intro session and all the way through training, we've felt confident in their methodology and results. You can feel their care and love for dogs in everything they do and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get their dog properly service animal trained. Thank you to Aaron, Ryan, Nadine, Jerry, and Kim!

    We’ve had a great experience so far with Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa, especially working with Tonya. Even with just a few classes left, the progress Parker has made since starting training has been amazing. He’s more focused, responsive, and much more confident, and we’re already seeing a big difference in his behavior and obedience. Tonya is patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in Parker’s success. She explains everything clearly and makes sure we understand how to continue the training at home. Each session has been effective and tailored to Parker’s needs. We’re really happy with the results so far and excited to finish the remaining classes. Highly recommend Tonya and Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa to anyone looking for real results.

    We have 2 boxer male littermates, one is deaf. We were having so many issues with their behavior, we were at out wits end! Then Tonya and Zack from Dog Training Elite Greater Tampa, came to our rescue. The transformation with our boxer boys has been amazing! We have learned so much together with our pups. We would highly recommend this training program for anyone who needs help and great training for their dog.

Safety and Health

French bulldogs don't require much mental stimulation, making them easy pets around the house. Regardless, it’s still vital that they know what parts of your home are safe to explore and what areas they need to avoid.

Proper training can help your dog learn to be alone and relieve stress when you are away from home. You'll also want to be confident your dog won't run out into busy streets when you open the front door, so sit and down commands are vital.

Sit, come, heel, and down are also vital to their safety around water. Because of their short legs and body shape, French bulldogs cannot swim without assistance. They must listen to you whenever you are around pools, lakes, or oceans.

Because of their face shape, French bulldogs can also be prone to breathing problems. Training can help to take the stress out of vet visits. It can also help you identify times when your pet is communicating that something is wrong so that you can help support their health and well-being.

Choosing the proper French bulldog training in Tampa, FL should offer the support you need to work with your dog. At Dog Training Elite, we focus on keeping your dog safe and happy. We use an electronic vibrating collar rather than a shock collar to reinforce concepts and keep them focused. We want dogs to feel supported and excited to learn concepts to help them lead a happy and safe life with you! Investing in quality training and socialization will help you and your dog navigate new environments together.
