Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is involved with a free assessment?

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.

How do your services differ from your competitors?

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.

Will I (or my family) be involved with the training?

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.

How often are the training sessions?

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 The Woodlands.

I just have a few issues with my dog, can we cover those issues only?

To effectively resolve specific issues, we need to start with a solid foundation in obedience. This approach helps you become a confident leader for your dog, which is key to addressing and preventing behavioral problems.

Can you train husbands, wives or kids?

Nope. Those are dangerous grounds to tread upon. We'd much rather train a vicious dog!

Do you train all breeds, shapes and sizes?

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.

Do you work with aggressive dogs?

Yes. Working with and controlling aggression is one of our specialties in The Woodlands.

What kind of service dogs do you train?

We focus on training companion dogs for veterans and individuals with PTSD and other psychological conditions. In addition to service animals, we also train therapy dogs that visit hospitals, nursing homes, and treatment centers.

What kind of temperament does my dog need to have to be service trained?

To be a service dog, your dog needs to have an even temperament. Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Standard Poodles, Goldendoodles, etc. typically have a great temperament for service work. For some types of service work, your dog will need to have AKC certifications (such as Canine Good Citizen or Community Canine) which we are able to certify. As always, we would be happy to assess your dog's aptitude for service work for free!

Dog training is more about people training for me. Jan Hernandez is such a great trainer for me, and my dog Jefferson, I was almost ready to give up. I was distraught thinking I may have to rehome. Jan is very patient, easy to understand, he even writes everything out for me plus gives me homework. Jefferson learns quickly but not me. Jan ssures me that I can do this. I have never had a working dog. He has been a lot to handle. Thank you Jan.

Fantastic experience with Elite Training and specifically Alex; Alex is highly professional and knowledgeable on all things dog training related including dog behavior and psychology. Our sensitive rescue boy was transformed by going through service dog training. Before he was hyper-vigilant, timid and sensitive and he became more confident and calm. Alex is very supportive to the dog owners too as training the human is just as important as the dog. All questions/issues were dealt with in a supportive and timely manner. I strongly recommend Alex at Elite Dog Training.

Jan has been amazing with Skye and with our whole family. He’s so patient, thorough, and consistent, and he takes the time to work with each of us. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows every time he’s here.

Jan is an amazing trainer, extremely patient, so kind and very knowledgeable. We were at our wits end with our dog’s behavior. Now we have the tools to help him be trained to a level we never thought possible and to be a wonderful addition to our family. All the staff at Dog Training Elite in Katy were consistently professional, positive, and so very helpful. We can’t say enough good things about their organization and the services they offer. Jan and Dog Training Elite we can’t thank you enough!!

Jan was a fantastic trainer. He took time to understand our expectations as owners and combine them with our dogs personality to provide a plan that got us to where everyone was happy by the end of training. We were not interested in a show dog or a service animal (which appear to have been within his expertise) but rather a good family dog that knew when to have fun and when to listen. He helped us create boundaries for travel, behavior and play that will allow our family to enjoy our friend and companion for a long time. Thank you Jan!

Reviews & Testimonials

Our Team

Alex Price

Owner, Lead Trainer

I grew up on a cattle farm in Virginia and have been working with animals all my life from horses, cows, dogs, and even some chickens and ducks. It has been my passion to help people with their animals from an early age.

What I enjoy the most is helping people through the training of service dogs. There is nothing more satisfying than training a dog that can help improve peoples lives and even save their lives with a timely medical alert.

Alexandria Stanley

Trainer

For me, dog training is all about creating that 'happily ever after' between a pet and their person. After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior and spending over five years working hands-on with dogs, I realized my true calling: helping owners form a deeper, stronger connection with their pups through better communication. My mission is to ensure every dog lives a fruitful life filled with confidence and joy. When I’m not coaching humans and hounds, you’ll usually find me embracing my love for all things Disney or advocating for my absolute favorite breed: the one-of-a-kind mutt. I’m so excited to help you and your furry best friend grow closer than ever!
