French Bulldog Personality


French bulldogs are known for being even-tempered and playful. Because of their size, they can do well in smaller homes and apartments, making them an ideal companion for city life.

Two of the best qualities of French bulldogs are their adaptability and ability to get along well with children. However, while these traits may be innate, it's still an excellent idea to enroll a dog in training to help build their socialization skills and teach them basic commands for safety.

French bulldogs instinctively bark to alert you when strangers are at the door. Training can teach your dog how to respond appropriately to avoid excessive barking and alerts whenever the mail or delivery man drops off a package. This training can be vital in an apartment setting to maintain peace in a shared complex. While they may not need much exercise due to their small size and stature, training your dog to walk on a leash is still a good idea. Walking is a great opportunity for your dog to get outside and discover new things. Your dog may make new friends with both people and canines.

Training can help make this experience safe and fun for you and your dog. Because French bulldogs are friendly, you'll want to train them to socialize appropriately with people and dogs that may be less open to meeting new friends.

As your Frenchie will probably enjoy ample time indoors, it's also great to train them to communicate when they need to go potty. Accidents happen, and dogs often need to be trained on what to do when they need to go to avoid having them. Dog Training Elite New Haven utilizes positive reinforcement and direction to get your dog to go where you want them to.

As a top choice for French bulldog training in Connecticut, Dog Training Elite can help train your dog for all the exciting moments you'll share.

Our Balanced Theory

We base our training around the "Classical Conditioning" model (a.k.a. "Pavlovian" or "respondent conditioning"). This includes developing conditioned or automatic reflexes to commands. In its simplest form (after proper conditioning), when the owner says "sit," the dog automatically sits without thinking about it. Our unique techniques ensure our program is a success no matter what behavior we encounter.

French Bulldog Training in Connecticut Safety and Health


French bulldogs don't require much mental stimulation, making them easy pets around the house. Regardless, it’s still vital that they know what parts of your home are safe to explore and what areas they need to stay away from.

Proper training can help your dog learn to be alone and relieve stress when you are away from home. You'll also want to be confident your dog won't run out into busy streets when you open the front door, so sit and stay commands are vital.

Sit and stay also become vital to their safety around water. Because of their short legs and body shape, French bulldogs cannot swim. They must listen to you and stay whenever you are around pools, lakes, or oceans.

Because of their face shape, French bulldogs can also be prone to breathing problems. Training can help to take the stress out of vet visits. It can also help you identify times when your pet is communicating that something is wrong so that you can help support their health and well-being.

Choosing the proper French bulldog training in Connecticut should offer the support you need to work with your dog. At Dog Training Elite New Haven, we focus on keeping your dog safe and happy. We use an electronic vibrating collar rather than a shock collar to reinforce concepts and keep them focused. We want dogs to feel supported and excited to learn concepts to help them lead a happy and safe life with you! Investing in quality training and socialization will help you and your dog navigate new environments together.

A cute smiling french bulldog - ready to train with the experts at Dog Training Elite New Haven.

We help your dog become a valued companion and beloved member of the family. Read what our customers have to say and then give us a call!

We got a new English Bulldog puppy (Penny) in October 2023, and started training as soon as possible with the end goal of her being trained as a support service dog in public areas (nursing homes, hospitals, etc.). We mostly worked with Jason who is patient, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We also worked with Illiana a few times who is creative, knowledgeable, and patient. Both are great! As Penny started to grow, we unexpectedly found out that she has a genetic disorder in her neck/spine that limits her activity and our training options. The team was very patient and understanding and always willing to help. They were flexible and creative with training ideas, tailored to work within Penny’s personal tendencies, and with her medical restrictions which is hard to come by with a special needs dog. I also love that they come to the house, making the training more realistic and personable to the dog and us, not to mention it’s easier on the work schedule! Penny has picked up on all of her training commands quickly, and now it’s on us to be consistent and see it through! I highly recommend this company and team for your training needs!

Dog Training Elite has been an absolute game-changer for me and my 6-month-old German Shepherd, Jasper. From the very beginning, Jason's expertise and patience were evident. He has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs, and Jasper clearly felt comfortable and at ease around him. Jason's training methods have been instrumental in giving Jasper a solid foundation in obedience. He has made significant strides in his behavior, and I'm so grateful for the progress we've made together. Jason's guidance on using the e-collar has been invaluable. It's a tool that has proven to be a lifesaver in certain situations. One of the features I appreciate most about Dog Training Elite is their group sessions. These sessions have been fantastic for Jasper's socialization, allowing him to interact with other dogs and people in a controlled environment. Additionally, training in a busy park has helped him learn to focus and respond to commands amidst distractions. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective training program. Jason's commitment to both the dog and the owner is truly commendable.

Three weeks ago I contracted with Dog Training Elite and it has been an incredible and eye opening experience. Jason is our trainer and he is top notch. He has provided such valuable education that we have been able to train our 10 year old boxer and 18 month cane corso in this short time. Training as I’ve learned is about the owners showing consistency and following through. In just three sessions our dogs bark infrequently, walk on a loose lease (no more Mom drags), follow through on commands and don’t get on our furniture. The investment was well worth the exceptional outcomes. We wish we had done this years ago. Jason has proven techniques and a calming presence. Our dogs look forward to seeing him. We are excited to start group training next. Thank you so much Jason for helping our dogs reach their greatest potential (not to mention their humans)!!!

I had Illiana one of the new trainers here and she was extraordinarily helpful with my one year old golden doodle who had horrible leash manners and resource guarding over stolen items. I have been very successful with crate training and having him lower his stress levels when guests come over. She has also helped with desensitizing him and various objects around the house as well as when in public talking to people he remains very calm and in a down position! I couldn’t have been successful without her input and I was more than happy to do my homework and train him with all the advice she gave me! I 100% recommend Illiana!

I worked mostly with Illiana and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her. Our boys ADORE that woman. She's so incredibly intelligent and practiced and we felt very empowered every time we learned something new! Everyone else we've interacted with has been so kind and helpful and I don't regret this decision at all. It's been a wonderful experience so far!

Five Stars - Exceptional Service Dog Training Experience Our family recently had the privilege of working with Dog Training Elite of Connecticut, specifically seeking Autism Service Dog training for our Old English Sheepdog, Violet. This decision was made to support our 5-year-old daughter, Scarlett, who faces a unique constellation of challenges. From our initial inquiry to the ongoing training sessions, every interaction with the Dog Training Elite team, especially with our trainer Jason, has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we reached out to Dog Training Elite, we were met with professionalism, understanding, and a deep commitment to helping our daughter and Violet succeed. Jason, our trainer, quickly became a trusted and invaluable partner in this journey. His approach to training is insightful and compassionate, demonstrating not just his expertise but also a genuine passion for his work. Each appointment with Jason has been a remarkable experience. He brings an exceptional level of knowledge, patience, and kindness to every session. His ability to tailor the training to Violet’s specific needs and our family’s unique situation has been truly impressive. It’s evident that Jason has a vast wealth of experience to draw from, and he leverages this to ensure the best possible outcomes for both Violet and Scarlett. Under Jason’s guidance, Violet is excelling in her training. The progress she has made is already making a significant difference in our daughter’s life and, by extension, our entire family’s well-being. Violet’s presence and the skills she is learning have provided Scarlett with a newfound sense of security and companionship, which is invaluable. The impact of Jason’s training extends beyond just teaching commands; he is helping to build a bond of trust and support between Scarlett and Violet that will undoubtedly continue to grow stronger. Jason’s ability to connect with both Violet and Scarlett, understanding their unique dynamic and fostering their relationship, has been heartwarming and transformative.

Dog Training Elite made life with my pups so much better! I have 2 dogs (5yr old pit/boxer and 1yr old lab mix) that didn’t have any obedience training but also had some different needs. Jason was extremely knowledgeable and patient with both of them and their different needs. After just one lesson on leash training, our walks became enjoyable rather than a daunting task. And it’s only getting better! I’m so glad I found Dog Training Elite. I only wish I had found them sooner! And Loren was so helpful with scheduling and all my rescheduling needs! I couldn’t recommend them more! Thank you!

We had an amazing experience with Dog Training Elite New Haven! Our trainer, Jason, was exceptional. His love for dogs and expertise in training are evident in every session. Our dog was incredibly reactive, but thanks to Jason's fun and effective training methods, she is now obedient and well-behaved. What truly impressed us was how easy it was to apply the same techniques to our older dog, resulting in a dramatic improvement in her behavior as well. Jason's passion and skill made the entire process enjoyable and rewarding. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Dog Training Elite New Haven to anyone in need of top-notch dog training services!

I do not have enough good things to say about trainer J and the team at dog training elite. I came to them with a 2 year old rescue malinois/shepard mix who had severe anxiety, extremely reactive, and every walk with her was a task. After 1 session we saw improvement and after 5 it was like a brand new dog! In just 5 sessions trainer J was able to take my girl from a reactive girl I couldn’t take my eye off for one second, to a dog that I enjoy taking with me everywhere I go and she’s loving her new life in brooklyn! Thanks so much trainer J!!

Choosing elite dog training for my service dog and regular obedience classes for my other dog was one of the best decisions I ever made! The trainers are knowledgeable and are not only good at training your pets but also helping you as an owner feel empowered and learn the proper techniques so that you don't confuse your pup. They are very knowledgeable in traditional training but also are adaptable. What I mean to say is that they really do look at the individual dog and family to evaluate the needs and best Best way to meet the ne meet those meet those needs.

Franklin was extremely comfortable and willing to work with Jason at every appointment.

DTE is the perfect choice for dog training. Everyone from Loren to Jason were nothing short of excellent. My dog Rayne has so much anxiety, that it caused her to become very reactive towards people and other dogs. After one session with Jason I started seeing an improvement. He really takes the time to focus on both you and your dog’s behavior. I highly recommend DTE.

Thank you, Jason, for helping us with our Doberman. Although he is our 2nd dobie he presented us with a challenge having such high anxiety we didn’t experience with our older one. This was new for us and became very frustrating. Jason reassured us we were doing everything right and with some consistent training and technique helped our Dobie become more adjusted and able to work through his anxiety. Walks are now a pleasure vs a stressful time for the 2 of us. The group sessions were vital for us, the consistency of the trainings helped him be around other dogs and begin to trust other dogs vs stress out around them. The one-to-ones were personal and Jason dedicated the time to exactly what our Dobie and I needed to be successful. We continue with the group sessions to keep the consistency. Thank you for helping us get our Dobie to a better place for him and our family.
