Boxer Dog Training in St. Petersburg, FL

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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg.
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.

    Kim and her team are fantastic. They truly care about you and your dog(s) and helping your situation. Kim is very willing to adapt to your needs and has a great, no nonsense approach to dog training. She’s patient with the humans learning how to speak dog and she just makes it a fun and educational experience. So glad we picked Elite for our dog training.

    We've had a great experience with Dog Trading Elite, specifically with our in home trainers Ryan and Janna. We called them because we rescued a Bernese Mountain Dog, Winnie, who was very fearful of almost everything and had no manners. We also wanted to try for the third time with our energetic 7 1/2 year old golden retriever, Murphy, who had some bad habits. The patience these two had with Winnie, who seemingly couldn't do anything easily, was remarkable. Murphy took to most of the training well, but needed an extra nudge when he was excited (which was often). They changed tactics often and the group classes have been so helpful to year them both in distracting environments. This training requires the owner to work with their dog, but provides long lasting results. They'll meet you anywhere, your home, Home Depot, wherever! Well worth the cost, our home is so much more balanced!

    I put my dog Faye into Dog Training Elite at about 8 months old. I had done training classes with Petsmart before but nothing truly worked. She is super food motivated but I just needed to find the right class for her. Dog Training Elite was beyond perfect us. Faye now has a perfect recall and I am able to walk her off leash. She is so beyond obedient. Everyone we met and worked with went above and beyond to make sure Faye got the training she truly needed. Me and Faye are so happy with the outcome of the training.

    We highly recommend Dog Training Elite! Our 5 month old puppy learned so much over the 5 weeks of in home training and continues to learn at the Group Distractions Training on Saturdays at Seminole park in St. Petersburg. Aaron and the entire DTE training family are professional, compassionate, hands on and love what they do for you and your lovely pet. My puppy was able to learn all the commands during the one on one trainings and did a great job at home after the trainers were gone. The more we worked with her and had fun training, the more disciplined and consistent she became with commands. DTE is worth every penny on the investment and peace of mind. Please give them a call to schedule your free introduction.

    We began a search for a service dog about 2 years ago. About a year ago, by a stroke of luck, we were directed to Dog Training Elite Suncoast where we met Ryan. Ryan started a search and quickly found the perfect dog for my wife. They developed an instant bond. Then Ryan, Kim and Aaron went to work with Shadow’s training. Since then, Shadow has attained the service dog certification and has been busy at work working with my wife and giving her advance notification of an oncoming episode. We feel blessed with the results of the entire process and there is no way that we could have accomplished this on our own. We are continuing to attend group sessions and strengthening his skills. I would 100% recommend Dog Training Elite Suncoast to anyone.

    I am so pleased with the training. Both the in home and group sessions have taught me and my dog so much. The trainers are patient and also make it fun for my dog. Aaron was so kind in including our older dog who wanted to learn as well. I wish I started the training years ago when my dog was a puppy.

    I can't imagine a better experience! Dog Training Elite St. Petersburg will improve the relationship between you and your dog by training you (the owner) how to communicate effectively with your fur baby. Not only will they teach you how to train commands, but they will challenge you how to take those commands to the next level. So, your dog can sit or down for 30 seconds? Great! Can they sit for 5 full minutes with a bicycle, runner, ball, and squirrel going by? With Dog Training Elite, you can train them to do this and more. Truly exceptional! They will take your dog's obedience and manners beyond where you ever thought possible.

Boxer Training Tips

When you utilize the dog training services from Dog Training Elite St. Petersburg, 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.
