Boxer Dog Training in Lancaster, PA

Boxer dogs have long been a favorite among families, and for good reason. These attractive, muscular dogs are known for their loyal and loving nature, making them an ideal family pet.

However, their intimidating appearance can be quite misleading to those unfamiliar with the breed. Unlike dog breeds like bulldog or pit bull that are known to be more aggressive, the boxer is a playful and strong dog but is not considered to be aggressive. Professionals that work with this breed suggest that aggression in a boxer is an indication of poor training. Dog Training Elite's Lancaster Boxer puppy and adult training is a crucial step for pet owners to take seriously.

The Importance of Proper Training for Boxers

When you become a pet owner, you’re responsible for that animal's well-being. This obviously includes the feeding and nurturing of the animal, but no less important is the training the animal receives. A well-trained pet is one that has learned how to live cohesively with their environment and their family. This is a requisite for a pet’s happiness — and the happiness of their owners as well. With 40 years of experience in breed specific training, Dog Training Elite Lancaster provides an in-home training program that is ideal for both pets and their owners.

At Dog Training Elite we believe in classical conditioning training. This kind of training is particularly good for the loyal and affectionate boxer breed. We want to establish a firm but kind dominance between the owner and their boxer. Boxers need to know their owner is in charge, but this can be asserted with consistent and balanced training. Our approach is sure to provide sustained obedience and encourage bonding between the pet and their owner.

    Dog Training Elite Lancaster: I can't overstate the dramatic change in my dog since Jaime and Betsy engaged in training with her. Prior to Elite, we had our puppy in private training, with mediocre results. I was skeptical that Elite would be able to get her to the level we wanted. Literally after one lesson, we began to see results. By week 3 it was DRAMATIC! Jaime and Betsy provide the tools and coaching. You need to do the work also. But if you do, the results will overwhelm you!! Almost as important as training your dog, Dog Training Elite trains the handler and gives them the skills to understand successful methods. We are so grateful that we found Betsy and Jaime. Remarkable trainers!!

    Dog Training Elite was simply amazing! Working with a 6 yr old Dachshund is no small feat, but Betsy came in and from day 1, my dog’s behavior had improved. He’s less reactive, less anxious, more confident, and more obedient and has just continued to get better. He’s going to have a much more fulfilling and exciting life since we decided to train with Dog Training Elite.

    Choosing Dog Training Elite was the best decision I could’ve made for my dog and my home. I have a 75lb pitbull who struggled with obedience. My home began to feel chaotic. I didn’t enjoy having guests over. After many hours of research trying to find the best training that suited us, I decided to go with Dog Training Elite. They first do an evaluation before you commit to anything. Just from the first session I learned so much. I looked forward to every session. Jaime is amazing. He worked with me and my dog during all of our at home sessions. He helped me understand my dog’s behavior more and the proper ways to correct it. By the last session I had a new kind of confidence and trust in my dog. I now enjoy having guests over again. Our bond became stronger. I know I can take him just about anywhere now and not get embarrassed with his behavior. We still have our group classes to go but I can’t wait to continue this journey and keep building that confidence and trust.

    We hired Dog Training Elite Lancaster to train our two Corgis, Hitch and Hanna. We really wanted them to be therapy dogs but they were both a bit too independent and energetic and so I didn't really hold out much hope. But 3 months with Jaime and Betsy training both us and the dogs made our dream a reality. Both dogs passed their Good Canine Citizenship exam last week and will now be able to accompany me on my visits to amputee peers at the Reading Rehab Center and Reading Hospital!

    Dog Training Elite not only saved my dog, but it brought the PEACE back into our home! DTE is far from cookie cutter, and they made sure to focus on our specific needs and concerns. They left us with 10/10 results, and new sense of control and happiness with our pup! If your dog is driving you crazy like ours was, I highly recommend calling Dog Training Elite before giving up! Thank you again Jaime and Betsy!!!!

    When we hired Dog Training Elite, we were in desperate need of help. Despite being a dachshund owner for almost 20 years, a new baby added a differently level of stress. Our doxies Otto and Ollie were gentle with the new baby, but so very territorial with incessant barking anytime they heard a delivery truck or when visitors stopped by, often waking the baby from precious sleep time. Betsy and her team were the salve to our situation. The team worked with our schedule, were extremely patient, and gave us the tools we needed to be successful with our doxies. They brought experience, knowledge and professionalism to every conversation and meeting. We are so grateful to Betsy and her team! Our baby is sleeping soundly again!

    Working with Dog Training Elite has been a fantastic experience. Betsy is the best! Not only did she train my dog but she helped me become more competent as a dog owner and continuing training on my own. Over a couple months of training Betsy helped us train Ranger to be more responsive and obedient especially when off lease. He is now a Certified Therapy Dog and passed the AKC Good Citizen Test! Highly recommend this team if you and your pup need help with training. They work great with your schedule and can really make a quick impact!

    I researched dog training options when I purchased a new Labrador Retriever puppy 18 months ago. The philosophy and methods of Dog Training Elite appealed to me, and their practice of providing training sessions at my home made so much sense as it gave them a detailed understanding of the puppy's environment and my unique challenges. From the first moment Betsy came to my door, my then three month old Lab ADORED her. Betsy not only has wide and extensive experience with dog training for dogs of all ages, she also understands the characteristics and learning styles of different breeds, and she truly loves dogs, which makes them immediately trust and respond to her. We could not be more pleased with Dog Training Elite and recommend them to all our friends.

    I can not say enough about Toni and Betsy! I have had dogs all of my life and this is the first time that I am so Proud to have a really well behaved dog. I get compliments about my dog Sadie all the time. She is our first service dog that we trained through dog training elite and we are very pleased with their program! I now have the tools for life! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite Philadelphia/Lancaster! Thank you so much Toni and Betsy! Rachelle and Bryan Storm

    My GSD is aggressive with other dogs and children. The only dog training company I could find to work with her was Dog Training Elite! Lizzy is flowing the commands that were taught to us in our one on one sessions, has now started group sessions and did so well in her first session and climbed up and sat with the grandson for the first time! The trainers are so knowledgeable with dog training and they care about the dogs and families they help!! The best investment I ever made!! I highly recommend Dog training Elite with Betsy and her trainers!! All I can say is thank you for saving our dog!!!

    I contacted many different dog trainers in the Lancaster area, but none of them was willing to work with dogs that had aggression issues with the exception of Dog Training Elite! I was afraid I would have to give up Lizzy my GSD because of her aggression toward children and other dogs. Then Betsy and Audra showed up at my door, assessed Lizzy and agreed to take her on!! Lizzy is doing so well with the commands and her confidence level has grown so much that she was playing with our grandson for the first time! These trainers are professional and know what they are doing!! And they love the dogs they train! I am no longer worried about losing Lizzy! All I can say is thank you for saving my dog!

    This was one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog who used to pull on walks, wouldn’t come, would only listen to commands when he wants to, he is now public access certified and we get compliments all the time on how well behaved he is for a one year old puppy. Not only is he a well trained dog, I feel like my relationship with him is so much stronger because we worked and still work together on training every day. I tell everyone with dogs about Dog Training Elite. Could not recommend this company enough!

    I rescued my hound (we live in Philadelphia) about a year ago and it had been a rollercoaster with behaviors, anxiety and scary runaways. Choosing Dog Training Elite has greatly improved all of these issues. With Rubies patience, knowledge and guidance I can whole heartedly say that my girl is better than I could have ever hoped for. She has so much more confidence, the mental stimulation from training and having a job makes her happy and tired, and I feel like we have developed a stronger bond based on trust and obedience. In just a couple of months my once runaway can be trusted off-leash and is hyper focused on me and my commands. The e-collar has been incredible. When I put it on my dog in the morning before we walk she immediately understands that is it time to “work” aka listen. I could not be happier with our training experience or more grateful for Rubie!

    Betsy and Audra have been incredible. We are working with them to train our young husky as an autism service dog for our daughter. Their professionalism and kindness is beyond compare. They go the extra mile for their clients, even calling us “family.” They incorporate all of us in Layla’s training and makes sure we are comfortable before moving onto the next phase. We are so thankful for them and would recommend them to anyone!

    We are training two of our dogs to be service dogs, one of whom is a complex guy. Betsy has done an outstanding job with them. She is highly knowledgeable, sensitive, intuitive, friendly, super responsible, and works with our specific needs. We have seen instant and dramatic improvement, which makes our lives so much easier and enjoyable with the dogs. And they are having fun, too--they just love her, and so do we. We all look forward to training sessions! We're so grateful to Betsy for this huge improvement in our lives.Highest recommendation.

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite Lancaster, you gain access to our specialized training services tailored to fit your needs.

Here are some essential training tips for Boxers.

When training a boxer puppy the first consideration is socialization both with other dogs and with people. When socialized properly a boxer can be a friendly and social pet.

Boxers are athletic and strong dogs that can weigh from 50-80lbs. For this reason, it is important to have a dog that will quickly respond to commands. A boxer that can do the following is one that will be easier to keep safe as well as be a safer pet to have around.

  1. Listen when their owner calls
  2. Heeds requests to sit or heel
  3. Knows not to jump up on people
This, of course, is a skill of utmost importance to all pet owners. The boxer breed is known to be a clean animal that is amenable to being potty trained when given the right kind of instruction.
