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 Sarasota, 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.

    Denise was prompt and extremely knowledgeable of proper dog training with use of various teaching modalities. My dog was very comfortable meeting Denise and so was I!!! I would recommend obedience training with Dog Training Elite.

    Jessica has been an absolute blessing for our family. We are expecting a baby in a couple of months and our french bulldog(Luna) was starting to show signs of resource guarding and crate aggression. She had bitten me, my wife, and my mother. A couple weeks later with the help of Jessica, Luna has completely done a 180. You can really tell that she cares deeply for dogs and has made a genuine bond with our dog. We are rebuilding our relationship with Luna and training obedience. 5/5 stars definitely worth the money. We no longer have any fears of keeping Luna in our family!

    Today My dog Nova and I did our Public Access Test. Our trainer Renee Juliano a highly trained Dog Handler with Dog Training Elite. This test is to ensure that dogs that have public access are stable. The Bottom Line of this test is that Nova demonstrates she is safe to be in public and that I demonstrates I has control of Nova at all times. Our final Result was "Pass." Renee is a valuable quality skill in her trade nothing but the best.

    5 stars aren’t enough to praise our experience with Dog Training Elite. We are 8 weeks into the program and Alisa has been phenomenal as our in-home trainer. Her knowledge and patience was critical not only with Roxy, but with us too. We learned that successful training is just as much up to us as it is to the dog (if not moreso). She customized her approach and sped up and slowed down as needed based on how we all performed. She also touched base with us in between our weekly sessions and answered all our questions and concerns along the way. Group training on Saturdays has also taken Roxy to a whole new level of confidence and Jess, Anthony & Renee have been a tremendous help. Thank you all!

    My initial introduction to Dog Training Elite today exceeded my expectations. Although my puppy is only 7 months old, this will be the THIRD time enrolling in Dog Training and Obedience classes. After completing our evaluation, I feel confident my young boy will excel throughout the classes we have enrolled in. We discussed my concerns regarding my puppy's high-strung behavior and difficulty in focusing. In the short period of time we were there, the trainer demonstrated a few basic ways, when applied consistently , how my puppy responded with relative ease. With that said, given the proper instructions and my determination to work with my little boy, I'm excited to see him grow into a happy, eager to please fun companion.

    Renee at Elite Dog Training is most certainly the premier dog and handler whisperer. I have a beautiful, but originally sky/skittish Labradoodle that she helped me grow into a confident, fully functioning service dog. I am forever grateful for everyone at Elite Dog Training. The skills coaching is superb but more than anything it’s the “little” things she said that motivated me and Leah build confidence over time.

    Again great info from Jessica. Sent her a text about 8 am with an issue that developed yesterday and 3 hours later she was here to help out and will swing by late afternoon to make sure we are good with the crate I bought today. She is so focused on what she is trying to accomplish. You cannot beat that.

Is Training Affected By Breed?

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 Sarasota 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.
