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 Worcester, 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.

    As it was my first experience with the company and trainer it's hard to leave anything but a first impression. My first impression is that this is a professional company, with a clear goal, with a clear end game that they're able to express in a way that lets you know they ARE doing this with a clear plan on training your pup in just manners, but also get them certified to be out n about, but in my case help ME train my pupper a philosophy that I agree with. Great start and I think any updates will be positive!

    Matt was great. My Jake will lie down but kept bouncing to a sit position like a yo-yo. Matt showed me the ecollar control and to use the red button which I didn’t know what it was for. He gave me a few hints to do also when he was acting jealous and excited if a child was hugging me. Matt was so knowledgeable. Thank you Matt

    Alana said she was a newer trainer with the company. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. I feel like my son will be good with our dog Butter as a result. I did notice she talked very quickly. I thought it could possibly be that she was trying to convey all the information she wanted but in a shorter amount of time:
  • Colleen Langone

    Everyone has been ANAZING to work with. From scheduling and payment, to getting me additional information I needed to the actual training. Everyone’s been very supportive and knowledgeable, working with the different trainers has been great!

    Matt was great! Commands and homework demonstrated with easy understanding!! Our dog Gracie responded to our lead as hoped! Matt sees quickly my areas of frustration and he gave me the tools needed for our next success in training. Looking forward to next session!

    I had my training session w Laydon and she is wonderful. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. She ensures that you understand and answers any questions throughout the session. She is punctual and professional. She has suggested things that may help out with ME being able to “control”, (for lack of better wording), and fully train my feisty and sassy, but totally adorable, super smart, and sweet, 3.5 yr old Chihuahua pup, whereas Vivian, the pup, listens to my boyfriend with barely any issues at all. Laydon is great and we have asked for her as many times as she is available!

    Tina never barked @ Kurtis, she was very comfortable with him! Kurtis had many suggestions to improve Tina with her separation anxiety, one being to obtain a crate which I have done, waiting for delivery.
