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 Clarksville, 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.

    We had the best experience with Dog Training Elite with our Lab puppy. With this being our first dog we really weren’t sure how to train a dog much less get a puppy to stop biting but with the help of the head trainer Reina, it has been the difference between night and day with our puppy. She was great not only with him with all the trainings, but also with us showing us how to train, making sure we had what we needed to be effective without her. This program is definitely worth it!

    We worked with Reina and Montana. They were the perfect trainers. Willow our dog responded well to both. Today was our last one on one session at the mall. We are really happy with how well Willow followed directions.

    Working with Parker, Reina, and Montana has completely changed my dog! Before moving to Tennessee, I was worried Briar would never be able to become a service dog. She was very selective when listening, extremely stubborn, and wouldn't respond to commands. Almost a year later, she is an entirely different dog! She responds to her commands, walks well on and off leash, has passed her public access test, and is now a service dog in training! These trainers have not only helped to instill confidence in me as her handler, but in her as well! I am so blessed to have worked with these fantastic people, and I encourage anyone looking for a trainer to look no further and contact Dog Training Elite. Their trainers are kind, patient, communicative, and want to ensure you and your dog meet your goals. Words can't express how great working with Dog Training Elite has been! Don't walk but run to set up a consultation with them, you and your dog will be better for it!

    Reina has been the best trainer for our little guy. When he started you couldn’t even show him a picture of a dog without losing his puppy mind. Since we did Training Elite, he has been a different dog and even better around other dogs. Highly recommend and so very glad we used them and got her as a trainer.

    This is Kona she was a little fearful of using training tools at first but Montana helped me big time. She got her over her fear of them and made it a good learning experience that was very enjoyable for my girl!

    Got to work with Montana on some basic behavior for my new puppy Freja. I'm happy to say that whenever people meet Freja they always comment on how well she listens and behaves. I would recommend working with Montana to anyone, she is an excellent trainer. Will definitely seek her out for anymore help in the future.

    Montana helped shape my rambunctious heeler mix, Vanna, into a well rounded doggo by teaching her basic obedience. She was wonderful and very compassionate. You can tell she puts 100% into her work.

    Dog Training Elite has made a big impact on my dogs life. Before Dog Training Elite my dog Ranger was out of control. He was super anxious, and destructive. Parker was able to train my dog to be calm and confident. I was hesitant that my dogs personality would change. However, Ranger is still his goofy self, but now listens and is enjoyable to be around. Thank you Dog Training Elite

    This training experience with Reina has been amazing! Reina helped not only me and my husband but our dog Harley as well. Before trining Harley was pulling on the leash hard enough to pull me down. Now he doesn’t pull on the leash at all. His confidence in himself has increased and he has become a happier dog because of it. Without this training we would not have been able to reach the goals that we did. Highly recommend!!
