Boxer Dog Training in Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia 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 in Philadelphia provides an in-home training program that is ideal for both pets and their owners.

At Dog Training Elite we believe in positive reinforcement 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 positive reinforcement. Our approach is sure to provide sustained obedience and encourage bonding between the pet and their owner.

FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.
Yes. You (and anyone in your family who wants to be involved) are integral to your dog getting trained. We need you to practice 5-6 days a week, about 15-20 minutes a day for optimal results.
Once a week. We come to you (with the silver, gold and platinum packages) once a week to start your dog off, then you come to park sessions which are held once a week in Philadelphia.
We train dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your dog is a tiny Chihuahua or a large Mastiff, we have the experience and expertise to work with them.

    We had a great experience with Taylor and Dog Training Elite. Hermione is a 6 month GSD who was showing some guarding/reactive behaviors. Taylor was able to show us tips on this right away, and we saw improvements within the first week. After 5 sessions, she has become very obedient and has responded quickly to all training techniques. Very glad we went forward with the training and I highly recommend!

    We have just completed our one-on-one training sessions with Taylor and we have nothing but great things to say. We noticed Cooper had a fear of children and large dogs that did not always come across in the nicest of ways. Taylor assured us that this training would help Cooper gain confidence to face situations he was once fearful of. Taylor has been so patient with Cooper as he can be a little stubborn at times! Coop was always happy to see him and in a short amount of time, he has already grown so much. We highly recommend Taylor and Dog Training Elite!

    Taylor is a true professional, best-in-class at getting my crazy puppies Dixie & Dolly well behaved and consistently responding to commands. He also gives broader advice on raising the pups and is always cordial, polite, understanding and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog trainer in Chester County!

    It has been a joy watching our dog transform after traning from Dog Training Elite. Trainer Vincent was professional, on time, and personable.

    We had a fantastic experience with Taylor and Dog Training Elite! Our dog, Tony Soprano, is a beautiful 1.5 year old Boxer. Beauty aside, Tony was stubborn, didn’t listen to anyone, and even had anxiety like the true Tony Soprano himself. We tried traditional training, and even another company with only some improvements. Tony seemed to always decide himself when he wanted to behave. After the in-home sessions with Taylor, Tony developed into a confident and obedient dog. Taylor was very patient with Tony (and us) throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Taylor and his services!

    Working with Vincent and Dog Training Elite has been the greatest investment we've made for our 11 month old bernedoodle, Percy. In a matter of weeks, Percy has transformed from wild, unruly, and stubborn to well mannered and eager to learn. Training is just as much for the dog as it is for the human, and Vincent has been excellent at training us both! He is calm and confident in his instruction, and we have all greatly enjoyed working with him. I would highly recommend DTE and Vincent for all your training needs.

    Vincent is the best! We rescued our dog and quickly discovered she had a "jumpy/bitey" behavior - quite undesirable for a pitbull. Within one lesson with Vincent, the behavior is gone! We continue on to work on other commands - sit, down, place, break, heel - and Tiya is learning them all. She is becoming the disciplined and loving dog we dreamed of having! We could not have done this without Vincent! He is not only extremely capable and knowledgeable, but he is also calm and pleasant. In our mind, there is only one dog training firm to use - Go to Vincent at DTE! Highly, highly recommend them!!

    I was recommended to Dog Training Elite by a friend and would recommend them to anyone. I've worked with three incredible trainers and they all have brought different strengths. Vinny, who I had for obedience, helped me get my high energy dog (who thought he was king of the house) ready for the service program with Betsy. Vinny took a lot of time helping me with Twig and was very thorough with his training and explanations, which helped us feel very prepared for our public access test (which we passed!). Vinny is also great with communication for scheduling and appointments.

    Working with Betsy and Vincent has been great! My dog Ranger has come a long way over the summer with their help in our goal of training him to become a Therapy Dog. Vincent has been a great help with obedience training and Betsy has been awesome with workplace training. Looking forward to our continued trainings with them.

    Tiya is a totally new dog since we started working with Vincent!! I rescued her when she was about a year old, and I was very worried about her behavioral issues - I have 0 reason to be concerned now. And Tiya LOVES Vincent, she gets sooo excited every time she sees him step out of his car. Given her past, she tends to be hesitant around men but has loved him since day 1. He is such a natural with training dogs! I cannot recommend DTE (esp Vincent) enough :)

    Vincent is an excellent canine trainer I was so fortunate to encounter after signing up with Dog Training Elite. I have a 1 year old male Bernadoodle, Poppy, who was disruptive, impulsive and often physically uncontrollable. Although Poppy had worked with other trainers during his first year, his issues were not resolved. From our first session with Vincent, Poppy’s behavior started to rapidly improve. Vincent worked with Poppy, and me, on his obedience and social skills. Poppy continues to improve and I now feel confident walking him in parks. Friends have commented on how his behavior has improved. Vincent definitely has a gift for training dogs and for imparting that ability to his clients. Vincent’s knowledge and experience as a trainer are evident in every session. Vincent attentively watches the dog and human interactions during the training sessions and professionally guides both to have successful outcomes in every session. I have only worked with Vincent from Dog Training Elite, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    Our super energetic Corgi wore us all down with his constant barking, biting and failure to respond to basic commands. After a year-and-a-half of his uncontrollable behavior, we were beginning to lose hope. I saw an ad on Instagram for Dog Training Elite and reached out to Taylor. After just a few weeks in the program, my Corgi's behavior is so much more manageable, and we are enjoying our time with him. It's really pretty astounding! Instead of feeling constantly overwhelmed, we're now confident in our interactions with our pup and he's responding well to our commands. I like that Taylor worked to understand our pain points with our Corgi's behavior and taught us all how to respond more effectively to it. Taylor is patient, compassionate, and infinitely encouraging. We appreciate the training he provided that has now enabled us to really bond with our dog.

    I have a really sweet but highly reactive dog. Living in a city was making her leash reactivity much worse. I worked with Betsy and Vinny in private sessions and continued working with Vinny in group sessions. It’s honestly night and day! She’s much more confident and I have the skills to help her be successful. Friends and family have noticed that she’s much calmer, listens more, and easier to walk. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite for any “difficult” training.

    Working with Vince has been great. He is knowledgeable and answers questions quickly. He made a connection with our pup and was able to help us strengthen our connection too. Glad my wife found elite & that we got paired with Vince.

    We train with Vince and let me tell you, he is hands down the best trainer we have ever delt with. He is very knowledgeable and has the patience of a saint with us. We definitely hit it off from the moment we met and was so easy to open up with him (I'm a bit of an introvert around new people). He is always understanding of our questions and gives tips to help us make a better connection between us and our pup. We are so happy that we made the choice to go with Elite and that they sent us Vince. Highly recommended him for all of your training needs.

    Working with Tori and Vincent was amazing! It’s amazing to be able to trust your trainers and have them give you the skills and confidence to continue after training is completed. I never thought my dog would be able to be off leash, let alone get his reactivity under control. A few weeks with Tori and Vincent changed him and I continue the training on my own now! Vincent was very kind and thorough, my dog was very reactive to males due to caretaker issues in the past and he helped us work through them. I would recommend this company to anyone! :)

    Training our Doberman, Pepper, with Vinny for the last several months has been great. He is especially skilled with “difficult” and high energy breeds, and he has an obvious natural inclination for working with dogs. Pepper is totally enamored with him and gets so excited to get out of the car and see Vinny as soon as he spots him. I’m almost surprised Pepper hasn’t tried to head home with him after any of our training sessions. Vinny is a great asset to Dog Training Elite, and I look forward to continuing to work with him.

    Great experience. Vinny was our trainer. He was amazing and helped us reach all the goals we had for our dog Beanie. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to do training with their dog. Ours needed a lot of work and now she's great on and off the leash around people and other 4 legged friends.

    I have been working with Vincent for the last 6 months on basic obedience training. He's been absolutley amazing. The techniques work and in a few weeks I will have two therapy dogs. Thanks Vincent!

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite in Philadelphia, 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 and positive reinforcement.
