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 Northern Utah, 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.

    Dog Training Elite Northern Utah... has been the most fullfiling experience. Our dogs have been so much better behaved. We still have some issues but once the command has been given to the dog even if it still takes a minute for it to register; it is so much better than before. We were getting frustrated with the dogs not listening. Now its day and night with them. Oh and the best thing besides that, is the employees who work for them. They are outstanding, super awesome, and the absolute best trainers I've worked with. I had one before but with that one it was hurry and get the training done. These guys will answer with empathy, professionalism and understanding. They are a joy to be around. The money spent was the best investment I have made. Thank you and God bless them with their knowledge and safety.

    I have worked with Elite dogs for almost two years. I needed a mobility dog because I have little upper body strength and walk with assisted devices. I have a 1.5 yo male lab who is bred for service. He is incredible and with the help of Elite dogs giving me back my independence. The end goal is to have him on a harness to hold me up and to fetch items for me. To that end I sought the help from Elite dogs. It’s a great program, very comprehensive, combining group play with other dogs and private lessons as well. The owner participates. The trainers are highly qualified and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this group. Barbara

    From Chaos to Calm: A True Dog Transformation ✨ Just two months ago, I was at my breaking point. My 10-month-old Chow Chow, Appa, was completely out of control—biting, mouthing, humping, and even injuring people. Two of my houseguests actually left my home bleeding. I couldn’t handle him, and honestly, I was scared. Scared for my friends, my family, and myself. I loved my dog, but I was ready to give up. Then came Colleen from Dog Training Elite. From the very first session, she brought the right tools, the right mindset, and most importantly, real hope. She didn’t just train Appa—she taught me how to lead him with confidence and calm authority. Fast forward eight weeks… and I hardly recognize my dog. Appa now sits, heels, comes, and places on command. He listens. He respects boundaries. Just this week, neighbors literally applauded as they watched him obey commands in a high-distraction environment. The best part? He’s still Appa—sweet, affectionate, quirky—but now he’s safe, social, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. If you’re struggling and feel like your dog is beyond help—don’t give up. Call Colleen. She helped me discover the incredible dog I always knew was inside mine. 🐾💙 #DogTrainingElite #ChowChow #FromAggressionToAffection #DogTransformation #GratefulDogMom #AppaTheGoodBoy

    Awesome facility with expert training. We have been going for Barn Hunt lessons and the difference in my very sensitive boy’s confidence and performance at trials has been night and day! We’re looking forward to more lessons with Dan!

    I am very pleased with the results from having our puppy attend Dog Training Elite. I honestly was hesitant at first because our pup can be a lot to handle and I didn't think she'd adjust to being okay with being away from home during the week training sessions. However, the staff accommodated her wonderfully, loved her as if she were their own dog and I'm amazed by how well mannered and trained she is now!!! I highly recommend them. Very polite, professional and above all kind to your beloved pet.

    Dog Training Elite Northern Utah Training Center, has the greatest trainers. They are compassionate. understanding, and loves your pet. Melachi (mini Ausie) worked beautifully with the trainers. On a side note: We used them when they use to be Elite. John was our trainer and he helped me train our Ausie Barrion to be my mothers service dog. He was wonderful and loved Barrion. I would recommend DTENUTC to anyone who would like to have their pets trained. Our pictures This Melachi, and taking a nap after a training session LOL.

    I have had a great time working with DTE-NU and looking forward to continue working with them. Not only have they done amazing with training and service, they also are very understanding and flexible. I went through a rough financial situation and they were kind enough to work with me with no penalties. It literally made a WORLD of difference in a very stressful part of my life. I have a very well trained service pup all thanks to them.

    Words cannot express the deepest sense of gratitude I have for Dog Training Elite Northern Utah. Our puppy Sage was completely unmanageable. We had basically lost hope and were at our wits end, unsure of what our next step was with her. Thankfully, we found DTENU. They trained us in the art of handling our puppy. They listened to our concerns and we re always available for feedback or any questions we had. We could not have done this without Trevor, who took us under his wing and shared his passion for training and handling dogs. Thank you to Colleen, Matt, Lexie, Fona and Griffin. I absolutely recommend this company for any of your dog training needs.

    Totally thrilled with the training our first pup has received. She is learning rapidly and we feel more confident daily about her ability to respond appropriately in a wide variety of scenarios. Including the endless quick feedback and tips we get via texts.

    A few months ago I brought our puppy a Frenchie and Boston mixed Arlo to be accessed. I wanted to know if he would make a good service/therapy dog for my PTSD as a combat veteran. Colleen the owner met with me and Arlo that day. She did the assessment and showed us what kind of discipline we could expect from the training with another of her dogs. I was pleased to find out Arlo had the right temperament for the training. He was still a bit young so we had to wait some months before he would be mature enough for the training to be effective. Colleen and her team worked with me on the costs and a payment plan. They stayed in touch and reached out when Arlo was old enough. We started to schedule his training for 3 weeks there at the center. Our situation changed and so we are moving to Florida in about a month. Colleen felt that although we could get his training at the center done in 3 weeks. The ongoing support and additional group training would not be enough time. She reached out to another franchisee in Florida where we are moving and made sure we could start the training there with them and be able to have the close community and ongoing support. I really appreciate her taking the time to make sure mine and Arlo's best interest were put first over closing a sale. I appreciate the respect and courtesy given to me in my situation. I hope these remarks help someone with their decision to place their trust in this company and Colleen. Thanks So Much For Everything! Jeremy W.

    We can’t thank Dog Training Elite enough for the amazing work they’ve done with our dog. From puppy training to becoming a certified medical alert service dog, their journey with us has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, the trainers at Dog Training Elite were fantastic. They made us feel comfortable and confident, even when we didn’t know what we were doing. Their patience and knowledge made all the difference. Our daughter Rainey, who has autism and epilepsy, has found her best friend in our service dog. The bond they share is beautiful, and it’s changed Rainey’s life for the better. Seeing them together brings us so much joy and peace of mind. The trainers didn’t just train our dog - they trained us too! They made sure we were prepared for everything that comes with having a service dog. Their support and encouragement have been amazing, and we always felt like we could reach out with any questions. Dog Training Elite has given us more than just a service dog. They’ve given us security, independence for Rainey, and a whole lot of happiness. We are forever grateful and can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for top-notch dog training. Thank you, Dog Training Elite, for everything. Our lives are so much better because of you!

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.
