Boxer Dog Training in Nashville, TN

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 Nashville 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 Central Nashville 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.

    We used Dog Training Elite for our little guy Lucky in Nashville and are soooo happy with the results. lucky went from being disobedient and snappy to very friendly, kind respectful and loving. He no longer steals food from the counter and nips or bites at strangers. Parker was such a pleasure to work with and 100% worth the cost. It was an investment that has paid off 10x over! Highly highly recommend.

    Reina, Montana, and Parker were all easy to work with. Knowledgeable, helped us make strides with Finch quickly and feel confident in working with him. I love how they work together as a team, similar in training concepts and all a little different with their tips and things to try - great support all the way around. Jen was great too, very helpful with scheduling and questions. Thanks everyone, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend DTE!

    My dog Lucy is now so well-behaved. She walks so nicely on a leash and greets others politely. She's gotten to the point that I can let her out in the front yard, and even under high amounts of distraction, she comes back when called. Parker has been such a great trainer to work with. He understands my dog and was able to help us accomplish all our goals. Dog Training Elite, with their in-home training, is the best you will find in Franklin, TN.

    Dog Training Elite has truly changed my dog. My dogs used to jump on guests and bolt out the door. Now, they sit politely while getting a pet, and stay inside the house when the door opens. Parker is the best dog trainer in Brentwood. I have been so happy with the process and results.

    Parker did an amazing job helping our dog moose be well behaved indoors. We live near Nashville, where we see a lot of people and he doesn’t bark uncontrollably at people coming to the door now and neighbors walking by. He has a very friendly demeanor and people love him now! Would highly recommend Dog Training Elite for their premium work.

    I have been working with Montana for the one-on-one basic training portion of the program. She has been incredibly kind and helpful through the process. We are super excited to start the group training portion! Also a special shout out for Parker who came out for our last session, he was awesome! For anyone on the fence about going through with it, I recommend Dog Training Elite 10/10 as long as you’re willing to put in the work outside of training sessions (as is the case for pretty much any kind of training). I have been able to see results in my puppy’s behavior pretty much immediately under their guidance.

    We had the absolute best experience with Dog Training Elite! I've had a lot of dogs in my life, but never took training seriously and knew with our new puppy, I wanted to do it right. The team was professional, loving, and supportive every step of the way. They instruct in a calm and cool manner, and made sure we were comfortable with the process along the way. Do not HESITATE to use these folks if you want to be successful in your dog training journey. It's a relief to bring our dog out in public and know she'll be happy and also obedient; we often chuckle to ourselves when we see a dog out of control...it's not that hard folks-- just get with Dog Training Elite!

    Parker and his team are excellent! We have a full-go high-energy brittany, and after the training he is a completely different dog. Still energetic, but much more respectful, responsive, and easy. Highly recommended!

    Parker was an amazing trainer for our 1yo Labrador. She used to pull on the leash and had poor recall, not to mention a myriad of other behavior issues. Now, she is very obedient and recalls 100% of the time without issue. I run with her off the leash through neighborhoods and trails without issue, and we’re both much happier that way! A great investment!

    I absolutely love our trainer Reina! She is doing beautifully helping me out with my boy, Bolt. She is a very sweet individual that has an amazing vibe to her! I wouldn’t trade Reina for anything! Before we started with DTE, my boy was very reactive towards any noise, person, or dog. We have only had 4 sessions so far, and Bolt seems more comfortable with himself and our older dog, Lucas, which was a problem before we started training. Today after his session, he KISSED LUCAS!!! I have never seen them so comfortable with eachother before, and I think the confidence raise that the training is doing is helping him tremendously!! He has a long way to go, but so far, Bolt is doing very good with his emotions!! I highly recommend Dog Training Elite if you have a reactive/aggressive dog! They treat their clients amazingly, and they understand when the dog is struggling with a command and will help the best they can!! Don’t ever think your aggressive or reactive dog is untrainable, because Dog Training Elite shows otherwise!!! Additional: Reina really understands Bolt’s emotions and it makes me so thankful I was able to get a trainer like her. Bolt is weaning off of his Prozac now which is amazing! He is a happier dog now even if he has his days, but everyone does! The group sessions have helped him tremendously with his anxiety and his aggression. I see him one day being an off-leash dog that is desensitized by humans and animals! Thank you Reina and Dog Training Elite! I wouldn’t trade this professionalism for anything!

    Signing up for dog training with Dog Training Elite was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! Cosima, Parker and Reina are so knowledgeable and kind. Our Newfoundland pup Ginny is now responsive to commands, and gentle on the leash thanks to what we have learned from our sessions. It has been so nice to have the confidence that our dog won’t jump on other people, or pull hard on walks! Thank you Dog Training Elite Nashville!😊

    I am not overstating when I say the training has changed our lives. We have 2 mini Australian Shepards that were on high alert 24/7. They are so much calmer and happier now. They can relax and they understand what we are telling them to do. The trainers were all great. We worked with 4 different ones and they were all professional, patient, and very helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help with their dog.

    Parker has completely changed my dog! Toby has only had 4 sessions and it’s already like night and day. Toby is 10 years old and this past month is the first time he has been relaxed and calm when I answer the door and let someone in. He’s way less agitated and territorial. Allowing my brother to even give me a hug in the past has been a trigger for aggression, but now it’s like he doesn’t care. He’s not worried. I am in shock at how well this is going and I’m excited for the future. Toby’s life has completely changed because of Parker and his trainers. Thank you guys!!

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, 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.
