Boxer Dog Training in Salt Lake City, UT

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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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.

    Had a great experience with Dog Training Elite. McCall was the main trainer for Daisy and the transformation we saw in just a couple weeks was incredible. She made sure to address all the concerns I had with Daisy. All the trainers that we worked with were great and super friendly. I would absolutely recommend people here. Update 9/16/25 They are still the best, was having issues with leash pulling while on hikes, Jeff met me on a hiking trail and really helped me get that under control. The group classes have also been invaluable and a great time!

    Jeff and his young dog came by the house to introduce us to some of the training benefits of his program. Our dog really to a liking to both of them. And they showed us the benefits of training for both us and our Delilah. We know it’s a real commitment to enter their program but I can see great benefits down the road.

    We had the absolute best experience with Dog Training Elite! From the very first session, the trainers were professional, patient, and truly invested in helping our dog Sherlock succeed. Sherlock can be a handful, but they worked with him in such a positive and encouraging way that we quickly saw progress. Their training methods are clear, effective, and tailored to both the dog and the owner, which made it easy for us to continue practicing at home. What impressed me most was how much they genuinely cared about Sherlock’s success. They didn’t just train him—they also gave us the tools and confidence to keep reinforcing his good behavior long after the sessions ended. I can’t recommend Dog Training Elite enough. If you’re looking for trainers who are knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated to helping your dog thrive, this is the team you want! Sherlock is happier, more confident, and so much better behaved thanks to them.

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite Salt Lake City, 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.
