Popular Service Dog Breeds

Finding a service dog that fits your individual needs is important, especially for military veteran support. While most dogs can be trained to become service dogs, a few breeds stand out due to their personalities and inherent traits.

Here are a few of the most popular service dog breeds:

  1. Labrador Retrievers: Labradors are intelligent, versatile, and eager to please, making them ideal for PTSD service dogs. Their trainability allows them to excel in roles like guide dogs, mobility support, and emotional support, making them highly adaptable for veterans.
  2. Golden Retrievers: Golden Retrievers are known for their calm, gentle nature and strong work ethic. They are excellent at providing mobility assistance and emotional support, especially for veterans with PTSD, due to their patient and loving temperament.
  3. German Shepherds: German Shepherds are strong, loyal, and highly intelligent, making them excellent service dogs. Their protective instincts and trainability allow them to assist with mobility, search and rescue, and provide emotional support for veterans.
  4. Malinois: Belgian Malinois are known for their deep loyalty and intelligence. Malinois are not for everyone due to their energy and drive, but for retired veterans who appreciate discipline, structure, and a deep connection, they can be life-changing companions.

Service dogs undergo extensive specialized training to perform their tasks and assist their owners. Our training process involves a combination of obedience training, task training, and public access training.

  • Obedience Training: This training focuses on teaching a dog basic commands, such as sit, down, heel, come, as well as proper leash manners and socialization skills.
  • Task Training: Task training is tailored to fit the needs of each individual. It involves teaching the dog to perform tasks that mitigate the person’s disability, such as retrieving items, opening doors, or providing deep pressure therapy.
  • Public Access Training: This type of training is crucial to ensure the dog remains calm, well-behaved, and non-disruptive in various public settings. This training includes exposure to different environments, distractions, and social interactions to provide a dog that can confidently navigate public spaces.

    We had a great experience working with Hannah Randall from Dog Training Elite. She was professional, knowledgeable, and very flexible with scheduling, which made the training process easy to manage. Hannah took the time to understand our dog and adjusted her approach to fit their personality, which made a big difference. She explained things clearly and helped us feel confident continuing the training on our own between sessions. A good dog trainer doesn’t just work with the dog but also teaches the owners how to be consistent and effective, and Hannah did exactly that. We saw real progress and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive dog trainer.

    I waited close to a full year to write this review, because I'm the type of person who wants to make sure the quality of a service that they paid for actually is long-lasting. And let me tell you, it is long-lasting. At first, when I saw the pricing on the training through these guys, I thought this better be worth it. And this IS EXTREMELY worth it. My dog had a fence reactivity and also reactive towards other dogs and did not like them. After this training he changed completely and was good around other dogs. I highly recommend these guys. They are the best dog trainers I've ever had the pleasure of working with, and in the future, if and when I would need a dog trainer again, I will definitely be coming back to these guys.

    Dog Training Elite changed our lives in so many ways! We brought our two rescue dogs to DTE and the results from their training and expertise exceeded any of our expectations! Marcy and Brianna taught us so much, as well as our dogs! It's hard to put into words the success we've had with Marcy and DTE, we now have two dogs that respond to us, calmly walk with us, and most of all know what we are asking of them and they seem happier! One of our dogs was a demand barker and we never thought we could fix that and now we have had people come to house and ask if she is a different dog...Marcy was so patient with our dogs and teaching us every step of the way and she made it so enjoyable! She made it feel so easy to learn and her positive continual support helped us and our dogs feel more confident about understanding the process. She has such a great way of explaining everything and really understands each dog and their individual personality. We have tried many other training methods that didn't work and can't believe how fortunate we are to have found DTE; my daughter trained her two dogs with them as well and has had immense success! We are so grateful to Marcy and DTE for giving us the training and knowledge to enhance our dogs' confidence, happiness, and quality of life!

    Great experience working with Hannah and Dog Training Elite! Hannah was always professional, prepared (and flexible to meet Lacy’s needs), positive and enthusiastic as she worked with us! She left us detailed notes on what and how to continue training between her visits. Looking forward to the group training! Thank you!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite. I came to them with a reactive dog who pulled constantly on the leash, and walks were stressful instead of enjoyable. From the very beginning, Ramiro was patient, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. He didn’t just train my dog - He taught me how to communicate better and stay calm and consistent. The techniques he used were clear, effective, and humane, and the progress we’ve made is honestly amazing. Walks are now manageable and enjoyable, and my dog is more focused, confident, and responsive than ever before. If you’re struggling with reactivity or leash pulling and feel overwhelmed, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite. They truly care about both the dog and the owner, and the results speak for themselves.

    One of the worst parts of a dog passing away is realizing that if you want that same companionship you have to go through a learning phase with a new dog. After your heart heals and you decide to bring a new dog into your home, you quickly realize you've forgotten everything you thought you knew about training a pup and the excitement of a new family member quickly turns into tired exhaustion, frustration, and a hopeless feeling that your new dog may never be as good as your old dog. Reaching out to Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin provided instant puppy behavioral improvement, helped train the trainers (us owners), and provided hope for a future with a well behaved dog. The entire team was helpful, responsive, and experts in their respective areas, but Larissa was exceptionally fantastic and great to work with. We are looking forward to continuing our training toward a therapy dog certification and would recommend Elite to anyone wanting some additional help and guidance training your dog.

    We were able to get 2 beagles to laydown and stay while other dogs are around and playing. Not an easy task. This is as much owner training as do training.

    Six months ago we wouldn't have even considered bringing our dog to a public store, and today Bear passed his final training at Scheels. Ramiro and his team are great to work with. You will be happy with their services.

    We are very happy we decided to sign up with Elite to train our yellow lab Birch. From the minute my husband met Marcy and team he was impressed with their knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. After 4 days of camp our puppy knew all commands they taught. They will give you the techniques and follow-up help for you to continue training at home. Thank you Marcy and team for your patience training a high energy pup!! He is a better pet for it.

    Very glad I went with them for training my service dog. They have answered every question I've had, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I have been working with them from the time my pup was 9 weeks old and he's now 7 months. The owners and all the trainers are truly amazing people! Had to add a picture of the traine.

    We were so happy with our experience with Dog Training Elite Northeast Wi and our trainer Brianna! Our pittie mix learned so much in the 8 sessions, in home, and out in public. I appreciated the clear explanations on how to use the tools, and the dog psychology behind our lessons. Brianna offered a variety of options during our training sessions-we did walks on our property, met in a public place, and we did our last lesson at DTENEW’s facility. Which was awesome! Brianna also brought her well trained dogs to our home to expose our dog to new dogs, and to train through that interaction. We were able to have our dog take the Canine Good Citizen test with Brianna, and she passed with flying colors (see photo). I could not have asked for a better experience overall. It was a big decision picking a dog training method and company. I am very happy we went with an in home trainer with support and classes available at their facility as well, and the e-collar system. We will have lifetime trainer support with the package we chose, and we are now able to go to their on site group classes and drop in days (extra fee per use). I had initially thought I would do a board and train facility, but Romero suggested that an in home trainer would be a better fit, and I am happy I went with his suggestion. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Northeast Wisconsin!

    Brianna was amazing to work with! She even included our kids in training during our home sessions. Our dog, Apple, loved training with her and we appreciated the time she took to teach us too. Every trainer we met was very knowledgeable, and it shows they have a passion for helping each dog they they work with. Apple is now a canine good citizen, we're so proud of our girl! We're looking forward to continuing to build her skills at day camps and group classes!

    We took our puppy here to learn basic manners and obedience and they exceeded our expectation! In just 1 month our puppy has not only learned the commands but knows to listen when we give commands. The team was so helpful through the whole process; answered all our questions and made us comfortable with everything that came with training. Absolutely recommend them for any dog training needs! Thank you Larissa and Marcy for all your hard work!

    Every dollar is well spent with Elite Northeast Dog Training. Everyone who knew my dog knew he was a sweetie, but he didn’t always show it to most people—everyone said he “needed training.” After searching for a while, I found Elite Northeast and never doubted they could help me and my reactive dog. Now, I get daily compliments on how “good” and “well-behaved” he is, and I truly feel the difference—both of us are so much less stressed and more confident.
