Autism Support Dog Training in Houston, TX

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.

From the moment they stepped in my house I could see the passion for training and the lov for dogs they had. They move as slow or as fast as your dog needs. Shaping the training to suit your pet always reminding you that you are now a part of their family and they will always be there to help. Not only did they teach my Goose(dogs name) to be my battle buddy(service dog) but they taught me how to work with him. They have given me the ability to start to get my life back. I can’t ever repay them for that.

Gosh, I can't love this place more. Jan is FANTASTIC. He trained our service dog, Leia, and I have zero negative things to say. He is thorough, patient, and so knowledgeable. If we ever get another dog we will 100% come back here and request him. You won't be disappointed in using DTE!

I can’t believe how wonderful it has been working with these two veterans. They both are so easy to get along with and so flexible with their schedules. This team of trainers love your dog as much as you do. They are on time and attentive to your questions at just about any hour. The e collar, treats and the understanding to your dogs needs are the tools to success. If you put in the work and do their exercises you to can have success with your dog. I loved being in their company and feel like they are family. Thank y’all for a job well done. I’ll see you on Saturday!

We have been working with Daniel and Rachel for almost a year and have been so pleased with their training. We are in the process of getting our dogs trained to be service animals. We recently took the dogs to Disney World and they did amazing. Super grateful for all the help and training from Daniel and Rachel.

They are Amazing!

Dog Training Elite, with Alex and Talia, has worked wonders with my.dog Jack and myself. Talia has pushed, prodded and pulled Jack & I to where we are a pretty good team about to take our Public Access Test!!! Wish us luck. If you have a Jack in your family, this is the place for you! Terrific training, professional and friendly 🐶🐶

Daniel and Rachel are truly exceptional. We’re delighted to have chosen them as our dog, Cooper’s, trainers. Thanks to their professionalism, Cooper transitioned from being a rescue to a service dog. They are focused on doing a great job and attentively addressed every concern we had, always ready to assist. They make us feel more like friends than just Cooper’s trainers. Thanks to their guidance, Cooper accompanies us everywhere. Even through life’s ups and downs, they are always there for Cooper and us. If you’re seeking dog trainers who are genuine and love dogs, Daniel and Rachel are the perfect team for you!

I am thrilled to share my incredibly positive experience with Dog Training Elite services. After just three weeks of in-facility training, my beloved dog Freya has transformed into an outstanding service animal, exceeding all expectations. I couldn't be more delighted with the results, and I wholeheartedly give Dog Training Elite a well-deserved 5-star review. From the moment we enrolled Freya in their program, the professionalism and dedication of the team were evident. Talia tailored a comprehensive training plan specifically for Freya's needs, ensuring a personalized approach that addressed her unique qualities. Talia exhibited a genuine passion for her work, creating a positive and supportive environment that fostered Freya's development. One of the most remarkable aspects of Dog Training Elite is their ability to achieve results quickly without compromising the well-being of the animals. Freya's newfound skills, include nudging, cover, and 6 showcase the effectiveness of the training methods employed by Talia. Not only did Freya exhibit remarkable progress during the in-facility training, but she also successfully passed her service dog test with flying colors. This achievement is a testament to the expertise and commitment of the Dog Training Elite team. I am immensely grateful for the positive impact this has had on Freya's life and, consequently, on mine. Thanks to their exceptional services, Freya is now officially my service dog, providing invaluable support and companionship. The bond between us has deepened, and I credit Dog Training Elite for facilitating this transformation. In summary, if you are looking for top-notch dog training services that yield remarkable results, look no further than Dog Training Elite. Their commitment to excellence, personalized approach, and quick, effective results make them the go-to choice for anyone seeking professional dog training services. I wholeheartedly recommend Talia and Dog Training Elite and award them a well-deserved 5 stars!
