Breed-Specific Plans for Effective Obedience and Socialization

Tailored Training for Every Dog

At Dog Training Elite, we know that every dog is an individual and requires different training methods. Maybe your dog needs to work on separation anxiety or learn how to stop barking at the mailman. Dog Training Elite stands out by also looking at what breed your dog is when making training goals.

We don’t discriminate when it comes to breeds, but we know that some species need more specialized training in certain areas. Whatever your dog’s breed, DTE can help you and your dog overcome any obstacles related to obedience and socialization. Regardless of breed, size or temperament, Dog Training Elite is capable of breed specific training for all dogs that come to our doorstep.

What Role Does Breed Play?


Read More
Read Less

When it comes to training your dog, understanding their breed can be crucial for achieving the best results. While all dogs generally share qualities like loyalty, kindness, and intelligence, specific breeds often have unique traits that influence their behavior and learning style. For instance, dogs bred for working roles, such as Border Collies or German Shepherds, tend to be more energetic and intelligent, excelling in tasks that challenge their minds and bodies. On the other hand, companion breeds like Bulldogs or Shih Tzus may have a more laid-back demeanor, requiring a different approach that emphasizes patience and balanced training.

At Dog Training Elite, we recognize the importance of considering these breed-specific tendencies when developing a training plan. Our approach tailors methods to suit your dog’s natural instincts and behaviors, whether they are a high-energy herder, a protective guardian, or a relaxed companion. This personalized strategy ensures that your dog reaches their full potential, creating a well-behaved and happy companion that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    We’ve only been working with Eric for a short time, but we’re already having an incredibly positive experience. We reached out after experiencing several incidents between our two dogs, and he has taken the time to thoroughly assess both dogs, observe their interactions, and help us better understand the triggers behind their behaviors. What has been especially helpful is learning how to identify the subtle signs that our dogs are becoming overstimulated or are about to misbehave, allowing us to intervene early and redirect them before situations escalate. This has been an emotional and stressful situation for our family, but throughout the process, we continue to feel supported, heard, and encouraged rather than blamed or judged. We’re being given realistic, actionable strategies that we can confidently implement at home, and their ability to explain the “why” behind their recommendations has given us hope and a clear path forward. If you’re navigating behavioral challenges with multiple dogs or simply want to better understand your pets, I highly recommend working with them. We’re already feeling more confident and optimistic as we continue this journey.

    Loved our experience for puppy training! Charlie was our trainer and I cannot recommend her enough. We were very hesitant if this program would actually work and Charlie did such an amazing job with our puppy! She was so throughout in explaining everything she taught her each day and made sure every day at pick she answered all our questions (which was a lot). She is very knowledgeable with dog training. ASK FOR CHARLIE! You will be so happy! Our only complaint is from our puppy because she looked forward to going to camp everyday and misses seeing Charlie.

    I love the one-on-one training! Kayla, our trainer, has been exceptional. Marley was extremely nervous at our first training, but Kayla quickly settled him. She is patient with our dog and my husband and me. We don’t always get it the first time. She is positive and encouraging. We actually enjoy our training sessions which is different from our previous experience with dog training. I highly recommend Dig Training Elite NM!

    Michael has changed my relationship with my dog! I have so much more compassion and understanding on my dogs communication and behaviors after working with Michael-I’m shocked how my dog has responded in such a short amount of time and I feel super empowered to keep moving our relationship forward with what I’ve learned.

    Jessica is an amazing dog trainer. She will listen to your situation & your concerns with your fur baby. We have seen an improvement in our dog’s behavior & we have learned to respond appropriately to his behavior. I definitely recommend EDT - you won’t regret it. It’s worth every penny.

    George is excellent! I’ve had the best experience with him in training my dog, Birdie. She is an Old English Sheepdog who has protective instincts and some fear behaviors that led to daily challenges. George and the dog training elite program changed this! He immediately established a rapport with Birdie that continued throughout her training. During our in-home sessions, he provided a systematic training program that continued to build after each session, as well as tools and guidance for both Birdie and me. I greatly appreciated how George always checked-in and listened to any concerns/questions at the start of each session. George is punctual, communicative, and great to work with! Birdie and I will soon start group classes with George. My family and I have seen a huge change in Birdie; the progress she has made is awesome. I highly recommend George!

    Dog Training Elite Orlando has been a joy to work with from the start. We started chatting last October about getting help training a future service dog puppy. They answered every question, and even offered suggestions to help us on the journey. In March we went to meet them and some of their service dogs in training that they had available. A few weeks later they called to tell us that a fully trained service dog was coming into their care that would be perfect for our family. 2 weeks later we met Jake and brought him home. In the short 2.5 months we have had him he has already begun to change our lives in positive ways. DTE Orlando has been supportive and helpful through it all. All of the trainers we have met are passionate about helping the dogs become part of your family. Emily makes the drive to us in Plam Bay once a month to offer her expertise in our home and out in our community. We have already talked about how they will help us when the time comes for another service dog.

    Our evaluation/assessment visit today with Denise was outstanding. She explained everything with no pressure applied, answered our questions, and encouraged direct access for any later questions. She is very tuned in to reality with our dog, maintaining his personality while being very clear about how goals are to be accomplished with necessary behavior changes. We very much look forward to the training and seeing what we are certain will be great results. Update: 11Nov2025: started training and Renee is awesome!!! Thank you for helping our boy Rudy! Update: 12Nov2025: training this week has been amazing. Renee is outstanding and we appreciate the structure, details and the daily videos so much! Update 20Nov2025: Rudy completed his in-facility training today. It's been a great 2 weeks, and we highly recommend Dog Training Elite. This training has exceeded our expectations and we see positive results already. We know we will need to be diligent about our continued training but the foundation has been so well provided for Rudy and us. Can't say enough about how excellent, patient and knowledgeable Renee and Jessica are. Our boy is a very friendly and exuberant guy, and thanks to the tools provided to us by these outstanding trainers, we know he will be an even better version of himself. Update June 1, 2026: Had a great visit with Renee today for a little training tune-up. Excellent training as usual. Very helpful!! Thank you!

While we look at what challenges owners face with specific breeds, the key to dog training is maintaining a consistent schedule to ensure the desired behavior you seek.

The training programs offered at Dog Training Elite come in a general form, but we also provide breed-specific training to target breed-specific issues. Suppose your breed is highly energetic. In that case, we have programs to help you and your dog maintain an active and healthy lifestyle while ensuring that your dog retains the standard obedience training that any dog needs.

Though breed-specific training is taken into account, all of Dog Training Elite’s training programs are based on a foundation of consistency and balance.
