Pitbull Training in Orlando, FL

At Dog Training Elite, we can tailor our training method to work with any dog breed. We also understand that some dog breeds may require more training in some areas than others. Generally, all dogs share qualities of loyalty, intelligence, and compassion—regardless of what breed they are. Additionally, some breeds may have traits that require more attention and training than others.

For example, dogs within the pit bull family might possess some qualities that need training and correction that aren't an issue with other dog breeds. Whatever the case and dog breed you have, the trainers at Dog Training Elite in Orlando can create a breed–specific training plan to help you and your dog.

What is a Pitbull?


Read More
Read Less

A pitbull is not just one breed of dog but a collection of breeds created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The common dog breeds that fall under the “pitbull” umbrella are:

  • American Pitbull Terrier
  • American Staffordshire Terrier
  • American Bulldog
  • English Bull Terrier

At one time, pitbulls were prized family dogs, nicknamed "nanny dogs" for their attention and care around children. Unfortunately, they were also bred for cruel and inhumane "sports" like bear–baiting and dog fighting for many years. Because of that history, their breeds have been considered aggressive and intimidating. However, pitbull owners know their dogs are highly affectionate and loyal, and this stigma is outdated and harmful.

    We had an amazing experiencing with DTE ! Our golden (Remus) did the platinum program ( basic/advance obedience) to help prepare him for intro into service dog training. 10/10 recommend and cannot thank the staff enough ! Cheyanne and Chelsea are amazing with evaluating and helping you choose which program would be best for you and your companion’s needs along with answering any/ all questions you may have . The trainers, Jaeden and Maria , are super helpful and offer great feedback on your companion and ways to help you and your dog succeed in their program! We saw an immediate difference in Remus within just 1-2 days of him training in the classes and it has boost his confidence level . He looks happier and shows a more confident and prouder stance in how he represents himself. We couldn’t be more proud and happy to be part of the DTE pack !!!

    I am very happy with the results of my Irish Doodle training, it is giving excellent results, apart from the classes having the opportunity of group meetings in the park and training there are being very helpful for him and form me too. I recommend 💯 this school.

    Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Maria are excellent dog trainers. Upon meeting them you instantly know working with dogs is their passion. My little puggle, Maggie, is adorable but was a “hot mess” when it came to behavior. Maria worked with us in home and within a few lessens she was much better behaved. She loves people and didn’t understand that not everyone loves her, her jumping on people has stopped. The group walks in Winter Garden and obedience training in Phelps has helped further improve her listening and behavior. She’s learned how to behave around other dogs and people. I’m considering taking her training to the next level with their therapy dog training. I highly recommend this team for your dog training needs.

    Craig was amazing training our puppy but also training us! We would have never known all the tips and tricks to help our puppy without his help! Thank you so so much…our puppy is almost a year old and is off leash running with the kids and we are truly enjoying her more than I could have imagined with Craig’s help!!

    I was at my wits end when my stepdaughter recommended Craig, who she knows from high school days. We have a Morkie; now 7 months old. Hired a trainer initially to teach the basics of sit, stay, come. When our Lily started showing signs of aggression, disobedience and so on; we knew we needed something more. I was truly ready to send her back to the breeder Along came Craig and he convinced me that we would have a new dog before it was over with. I could not be happier with the results. Lily has come such a long way and other than a few tweaks, we see a new puppy really; just what we wanted. He is amazing and patient and made the whole process fun. So knowledgeable and intuitive. I would highly recommend him. Dog Training Elite North Orlando should be your next call if you need help with your furry friend. Thanks Craig!

    Working directly with Cheyenne, Maria, Kari, and Jaden has been a phenomenal experience. I’m very grateful I chose this company. The staff is very kind and well educated. One of my dogs is dog aggressive and my partner and I had to think about Behavioral Euthanasia. This company has given us hope. My dogs are beginning to be well behaved. It’s only been two weeks but I will update this comment in a couple months. Thank you guys for everything.

    Such a great experience. My pup and I worked with 3 different trainers from this company and they were all wonderful! Definitely worth the investment. The trainer, Maria, was especially talented and trained my dog within minutes. It was amazing!

    I have a dalmation puppy and needed help in training her. Someone else in my neighborhood had used Elite and Craig in training her dog and recommended him. I’m so glad she did!! They do the training by coming to your home and training in your environment. Also they do group classes every week. It is great for socializing hour dog and practicing with their instruction. They also have pack walks which gets your dog in other environments which is great. I would highly recommend Craig and Elite Dog Training!!

Common Pit Bull Personality Traits

Because of their tumultuous breeding past, pit bulls get a bad reputation for being mean, loud, and fierce. But if you have ever met a well–trained pit bull, you'll quickly learn that most do not possess those qualities. Below are a few common pit bull personality traits you may not know about.

  • These breeds are often easier to train than other breeds because of their loyalty and desire to please their owners.

  • Pit bulls are highly energetic and love to be active.

  • Because these dogs are usually misunderstood and consequently given up, pit bulls are the most adoptable breed in need of loving homes.

  • Pit bulls have a lifespan of 8–15 years.

  • These breeds usually don't bark a lot. However, if there is a barking problem, it's probably due to boredom or anxiety, which the trainers of Dog Training Elite in Orlando can address!

  • Pit bulls are highly affectionate, making them great family and service dogs.
