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 Carmel / Fishers, 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.

    This made a night and day difference with my pup! It’s so nice to have a dog that actually listens. All the trainers are so nice. They really seem to care about the dogs in their care.I would definitely recommend everyone at Dog Training Elite.

    When my husband and I rescued our 11 month old shepherd/malinois mix, we knew he would need great training. After researching and doing an evaluation with Doug, we knew the best option would be DTE. From his very first day, we could tell Maverick thrived in camp and he started looking forward to it everyday. All of the trainers were personable, and had no problem answering all of our questions. We can’t wait to start taking him to group classes and continuing his training. Since starting he is more well mannered, knows his place, and is more confident. Thank you DTE for taking such great care of our boy 💛

    I highly recommend them! We had a puppy that was super mouthy due to teething and high energy. They worked with Ollie and got him responding to our commands and understanding his boundaries. They were always very open to answering all of our questions (we had a lot!) I cannot say enough how over and above they went to make sure we felt comfortable and had all our concerning scenarios covered over the duration of camp. The at home visit was amazing and helped reinforce his boundaries.

    Doug and the staff were great for our dog Douglas! We would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone with a high energy, highly reactive dog such as ours. They took great care and Douglas has responded very well to the training. He looked forward to training every day and was exhausted by the end of the day. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

    The team here is absolutely amazing. We signed up our Border collie pup Sky for the in-home puppy training and the two week intensive camp. The feedback each and every session has been incredible and our pup is thriving with the structure!! She still needs some reinforcement but with the option of participating in the group classes we can't wait to get her back in class. This is an investment that really does take a time commitment. I would recommend this program to anyone looking with zero hesitation. Thank you to the entire team!!

    I cannot recommend DTE enough. In the span of 10 days I had a new dog, well behaved and happy. The facilities are clean, the methods are solid, but more importantly the people that work there are incredible. There’s a very evident love for dogs radiating off of all of them, and I never had any reservations about leaving my dog in their care all day. Dog training being 30% training the dog and 70% training the owner, they provided helpful methods for reinforcing and continuing to progress in the commands he learned while there. They are worth every penny.

    We cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend DTE. We had known for sometime that we wanted extensive training for our dog struggling with anxiety but always felt hesitant about an extended board and train. When we learned about DTE’s two week camp it was exactly what we were looking for. Two weeks of consistent training that allowed us to still pick up our pup at the end of each day. We were reassured that we made the right decision when our pup was jumping out of bed and excited to get into class every morning. One of the biggest things that stood out to us throughout this program was the level of communication and expertise shown by staff. Everyday at drop off and pick up we were welcomed to share details of our pups performance at home and (more importantly) ask questions. The training staff was always willing and happy to help. Not once did we feel rushed. In addition, we received progress updates at the end of each day and advice for training at home. My personal favorite items were the training videos we received each day. It brightened my day that anytime I started to miss my pup, I could check for a video to see how he was doing with new skills and detailed instructions for me as his handler. We are extremely proud of the progress our pup made within the two weeks and look forward to continuing his training with his in-home lessons and group classes. Thank you DTE trainers for loving, teaching, and caring for our little guy.

    Doug, Elijah, and the DTE team exceeded all expectations. They made the training process fun and enjoyable for both me and my dog. I opted for the in-home program followed by group classes to reinforce the training. My biggest takeaway was to incorporate the teachings into a game, keeping my dog engaged and encouraged. We're excited to continue working with the team and highly recommend them for anyone seeking a professional dog training service.

    After researching many training options for our 5-month-old miniature schnauzer, we contacted Dog Training Elite Carmel/Fishers. They conducted a free in-home assessment to understand our goals for our puppy. We made the right choice! Our puppy enjoyed the 2-week training camp, and we will continue to take group classes and pursue their therapy dog training for her. Each trainer was loving and knowledgeable! I felt very supported by all of the staff. They give you the tools and resources to continue working on behavior at home. Our puppy, Charli, was excited to go to camp every single day!

    Absolutely AMAZING. The entire staff is very well versed in all aspects of training your furry family member. Currently, Liberty and I are working towards certifying as a service dog. The techniques taught, when used, WORK!!! Having a well disciplined furry family member reduces stress, gives companionship and brings extreme joy to each day of your life. UPDATE: Liberty is fully certified! Having the ability to take her everywhere has truly improved the quality of life!!! I could not have done it without the staff and guidance! Thank you!

We now feel confident in our ability to continue her training at home, thanks to the tools and strategies provided by the team. If you're looking for a comprehensive, caring, and effective training program, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. Georgie is a great puppy, and we owe it all to their amazing camp!

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 Carmel / Fishers 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.
