Dog Training in Clear Lake Shores, TX

This review doesn't have to do with training as much, it is about The company and The wonderful people who work there. This is my story. My name is Kerri and I have a dog named Scrappy. A couple of days ago my Scrappy was hit by a car! I was beside myself with worry because I didn't have money to go to the vet and Scrappy was in so much pain I stayed up all night with him. Morning came and I started calling anyone who would listen to me trying to find someone to help me with my dog. I called Dog Training Elite not paying attention that it was a training company not a vet. I told the secretary what happened and she told me to give her a few minutes she was going to call her supervisor and call me back. Before I could call anyone else Rachel called me, After talking to her for a few minutes she didn't hesitate she told me it would be a while but she would come to my house and help me. 5 hours later Ms Rachel and Mr. Daniel knocked on my door. God is Good everyday! Rachel asked my how I got their number because they were trainers not vets. These good people went out of their way after working all day came to my house, took their time and helped me take care of my baby. They didn't ask me for any money and stayed as long as I needed them too! These are the kind of people you want training your dog. They love their job, and I have made some new friends. Scrappy is doing great thank you guys for everything your the best. Kerri

Our black lab mix Annie was a wild girl. After her being trained by Rachel and her husband, she is well behaved now. She follows commands and a joy to be around. It did not take long and the classes at our home were fun.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this amazing training team! Dog Training Elite NE Houston! Rachel and Daniel helped my dog Duke reach a huge milestone — earning his very first wing and going through airport security like a true champ. From day one, they were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about Duke’s progress. They worked on his confidence, focus, and calm behavior in busy environments, and it absolutely paid off. When the big day came, Duke walked through security with no hesitation, no barking, and no stress — just a proud wag and a smile from everyone watching, The TSA officer even shook his paw goodbye. Their step-by-step guidance and positive reinforcement techniques made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the care and professionalism they showed throughout the process. If you want your dog to feel confident, well-behaved, and ready for any adventure, I highly recommend Dog Training Elite NE Houston.

The trainers at Dog Training Elite transformed my Labrador into another amazing dog. They are awesome at what they do and I’m very grateful for them they helped me with my service dog. I’m a Marine Veteran and I will give them 100 stars if I can Thank You Thank You Thank You sooo much Dog Training Elite.

I had self trained a dog I had about 40 years ago with great success, but have not attempted any training in years. So when I got a new dog in last December, I tried my hand at training again and found I really did not have the correct technique anymore. I tried using the training service at a pet store, but soon realized that was not working either, so after much research on the internet, I decided to contact Dog Training elite. Rachel contacted me back and we made an evaluation appointment. They showed up on time and I could tell immediately that they were very committed in this job. I was very impressed on the responses they got from our dog. a 100+ pound Belgian Malinois we recently got through a local shelter. worth noting this dog was adopted two times before we got him, and was brought back due to being hyper active. On the evaluation day, they were not only able to handle him well but actually were able to get him to start paying attention to commands given. We decided to hire Rachel and Daniel to help train our dog. I will have to say you do need to pay attention to what they say and do you part in helping to train your dog. We did our part and within 4 months, our dog was calm and payed attention to the commands given. We were so impressed with this outcome, we decided to go the next step and get him certified as a Service Dog and then started the training for the Task we needed him to preform. with Daniel and Rachel's help and guidance, we were able to complete this in less then two months. I have to say that Rachel and Daniel are very committed to dog training and extremely knowledgeable in this area. They know how to handle dogs and communicate to their owners. I highly recommend Rachel and Daniel. If you commit to your part in this endeavor you will be very pleased in the outcome.

Daniel and Rachel at Dog Training Elite North Houston have been outstanding to work with. Their patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge of dog training made a tremendous difference with my German Shepherd puppy. They provided clear guidance and effective techniques that helped establish obedience and good behavior. I am very impressed with the results and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking quality training for their dog.

Daniel and Rachel have helped us with our lab pup. Her obedience and ability to take an easy walk have improved significantly. She is learning so much from their expertise! We highly recommend their services.

We’re so happy we found this place! From the very beginning, we felt truly personalized attention that filled us with both confidence and peace of mind. We knew we were leaving our pup Apollo in the best hands. Special thanks to Jan Hernández, who patiently and clearly explained each step of the training process. He helped us understand not only the “how,” but also the “why” behind every part of it. His dedication and professionalism made a difference from day one. During the public training sessions, we were amazed to see how much more confident Apollo became—he understood the commands better and, most importantly, it was clear that he was enjoying every moment. Watching him grow and feel happy has been one of the best decisions we’ve made as a family. Thank you, Jan, and thank you to the entire team for helping us bring out the best in our furry friend. 100% recommended! 🐾✨

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Dog Training Elite West Houston. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and consistently reliable—always organized, punctual, and responsive to any questions we have. Our dog has shown major improvement in the behaviors we wanted to work on, and we’ve learned a lot about how to support her confidence and obedience. The training has helped both our dog and us grow together. We highly recommend this company and plan to keep working with them as we continue building our skills and helping our dog overcome her fears!

We have had an amazing experience so far. Especially with our trainer Jan Hernandez! He is great with Oliver - patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly effective. He has helped us make great progress.

Bob was An amazing trainer who took control of my dogs quickly and made them manageable. I have two 100 pound English labs who would just drag my wife and kids when they try to walk them. After several visits with Bob my dogs are the best behaved pets on our neighborhood trails. I would highly recommend Bob he did an outstanding job!

Excellent training service! Rachel transformed my service dog in a matter of days with her methods working better than any I have tried previously. Rachel and Daniel are both amazingly experienced trainers. You can tell they have a passion for it which makes it much more motivating for both the handler and the dog. Rachel went above and beyond with scheduling me and accommodating my crazy work schedule as a traveling healthcare worker. I couldn’t thank them enough for helping me with my sweet girl Ellie!

We were extremely impressed with wonderful Alex who came to the house for initial review and training. Then we met Jan for the in depth instruction. Jan Hernandez is the GOAT-Greatest Of All Times- dog trainer. His explanations and directions are comprehensive but clear. He is kind, intelligent, funny, professional and PATIENT…with dogs as well as humans. Our puppy is a pistol, but Jan maintained the perfect pitch with her throughout. VERY PLEASED.

Jan Hernandez is the best trainer for Us. Beckett has learned so much and will shape into a great service dog. Highly recommend the Dig Training Elite program and. Especially Jan!

I researched this facility after my neurologist and therapist agreed my needs required a service dog. Getting the dog was one thing. Training him? Another thing. Due to some medical issues, Cyno had to be quarantined from the public. Cyno started to be a lot to handle with puppy energy. Nibbling, chasing our cats, barking at people wearing hats (weird trigger, I know) disobedience, nervousness, seperation anxiety, etc. I was completely worried he was not cut out to be a service dog. We brought Cyno to DTE West Houston. Jan has been working with us and within TWO weeks of obedience, I have a completely different dog. We were given homework each day to strengthen skills with Cyno. Jan answered any questions, no matter how small or dumb I thought they might be. Jan answered with utmost patience and understanding. It's not just the dog who needs training. A human also needs to be trained just as well as their dog to be keep up the good work the trainers put in! Cyno is now more confident, well behaved and interested in his work. My cats are chill with Cyno now. He's a completely different dog from before DTE. I have no doubts now that he's cut to be a service dog. From service dog to companion dog, i have no doubts DTE West Houston can help. And I am super glad they exist honestly. Without them, I don't think my boy would be as wonderful as he is without their guidance and help.

We adopted a rescued Chihuahua, Lynda, from Mutts and Meows. We were told she was the longest resident no one wanted her because she was what Mutts and Meows said skittish and not social. This was far from the truth this girl was filled with fear from abuse and probably from a man. However we were not going to let her go back and live in fear. Looking at our options we chose to try a trainer, we choose, Dog Training Elite West Houston and it was the best decision we could have made. The very first home visit, Alex had this girl calm, we could get a harness and leash on her, we were able to walk her, was able to touch Lynda and we could pet her, before Alex, we could not even get close to her or she would run and hide anywhere and anyway. She was so scared of us and everybody she was so sad. I swear Alex is part dog we were so amazed and impressed over the weeks she has improved 90% she still has a problem with Cliff but Loves Mary Ann and that’s enough for now. We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Alex of (Dog Training Elite West) and the entire staff that helped make the process so easy Lynda is happy, calm, and knows that this is her forever home. Linda still gives Cliff the stink eye but we are working on that. She will walk past him and will sleep in the bed with him and let him feed her. Thank you

Jan has worked with my German Shepherd for 2 months now and the experience has been great! Very informative, helpful and the results have been noticeable from the start! I would absolutely recommend the training that your dog or pup will receive from dog training elite. Trainers and staff are very kind, patient and will work through all problems or concerns you bring to their attention.

Bob is amazing! Our puppy was a poor emaciated rescue in need of love and security and once settled and healthy, was a very rambunctious pup. Bob has the patience of a saint in working with our baby and giving us practical milestones, lots of encouragement and advice along the way. Our puppy is MUCH better behaved and providing the structure needed makes for a happier household all around.

Rachel and Daniel with Dog Training Elite are the best! They went above and beyond to meet my training needs for my service dog Pearl. Extremely knowledgeable in obedience and service dog training. I highly recommend going to Rachel and Daniel for your service dog or obedience training.
