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.

    We were having quite a tough time managing our girl Wednesday before we found dog training elite. She was very reactive on leash, had a habit of jumping fences and we had to make major adjustments to the way we lived our lives just to keep her and others safe. We’re only halfway through the program and the difference is already night and day. Walks are actually enjoyable now, her escape artist tendencies have stopped, and we have real peace of mind when we take her anywhere with us. It sounds dramatic but it genuinely has been life-changing. Yes, the price can be daunting at first, but it has been well worth it. Jeff and Meggie are wonderful people who are damn good at their jobs! Cannot recommend them enough!

    Jeff and Meggie have been so wonderful with my poodle Graham! He is on his 4th out of 5 one-on-one lessons and is making incredible progress. From a dog that was biting people and dogs, he is a completely new guy. Thank you to this wonderful place!!!

    We had our first session with Meg today and O could not have asked for a better experience. From the minute she walked in, you could tell she really understands dogs. My puppy warmed up to her very quickly and felt calm and safe with her almost immediately, which is not always easy. I lobed how balanced Meg was. She wasconfident and firm when needed, but still so kind and patient. Nothing felt forced or harsh. She explained things in a way that actually made sense and gave me so much hope that we’re on the right track. I’m really grateful we found her and we’ll definitely be continuing sessions with her moving forward. You can tell she genuinely cares about us and our puppy 🐶

    We’re new to in-home dog training and after meeting with Meggie, we’re instantly at ease with both the process and the projected outcome. Her confidence in her knowledge and abilities is evident; however, she tempered that with patience and understanding for our unique concerns and goals for our dog. She’s tremendously personable and warm with both humans and dogs alike. We’re excited to work with her long term and feel confident she’s the solution we’ve been looking for!

    It was a pleasure to meet Meggie she was able to answer all my questions, gave a very persuasive demonstration and handled my dog very reassuringly and he’s a bit of a handful.

    Maggie was great. She showed me how to use the collar for Violet's behavior problems. Also helped me develop a plan for her potty training.

    We did the training camp and are now starting the group lessons. The arrangements are not cheap, but the instructors are very helpful and always willing to listen. McCall helped us with additional requests for other commands, especially drop it. We're comfortable with the investment because for the price, we're buying a lifetime of support. ADDENDUM: Meggie came to our house today and did our first in house visit today. She was fantastic - very calm, unrestrained, and our dog took to her quickly. We really alleviated the home visit and will need to work on the homework to ensure things stick.

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.
