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 Central Nashville 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 Knoxville, 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.
Empowering Owners
We empower owners to train so their dog knows who to obey at all times.
Personalized
We deal with problem behaviors on a personal basis.
Environment Specific
We train wherever issues tend to arise (i.e. jogging, park, home).
Supportive
We support owners in the off-hours (when training is "not in session").
Involved
We work with all members of the household.
Simplified & Customized
We plan training around the owner's schedule and require only 20 min/day follow-up practice.
Continued Training
Additional programs / group sessions offered after in-home training.
Lifetime Investment
We follow up & are invested in the owner's success long-term.
Satisfaction Ratings
Our high client satisfaction rating sets us apart from competitors.

French Bulldog Training in Knoxville 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 Knoxville should offer the support you need to work with your dog. At Dog Training Elite Central Nashville, 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.

Our two Great Pyrenees mix pups were getting too difficult to train on our own. When our trainer arrived (Reina) for the assessment she knew what we needed- and we have learned so much! She loves dogs, is easy to work with, and responds quickly when there are any questions, issues, or schedule changes. Highly recommend!— Mollie Woltmann

I can't recommend Dog Training Elite highly enough! From start to finish, my experience with them has been exceptional. Andi in the office is an absolute gem - always friendly, polite, and incredibly efficient. She made scheduling around my hectic timetable an absolute breeze, whether it was answering the phone or swiftly returning missed calls. And when it come to Parker, our trainer, I couldn't be more impressed. Parker was punctual and well-prepared for every lesson. His expertise and patience with me and my dog was evident, and I saw significant progress with each lesson. Thank you, Dog Training Elite, for providing the service that you do!— Alisa Kellington-Welsh
