Helping Dogs Feel Calm & Confident

Aggressive Dog Training in Katy, TX

One of the most difficult, necessary, and rewarding behaviors to correct in a dog is anxiety and aggression. These behaviors can be learned, genetic, or innate. When a dog feels threatened, their natural response is either fight or flight.

Most dogs will try to distance themselves from the perceived threat; if that's not possible, they may resort to aggression or submission. Some dogs, particularly those who see themselves as confident pack leaders, may turn to aggression as their first response.

Both of these reactions are rooted in anxiety and can be effectively addressed with Dog Training Elite's balanced aggressive dog training in Katy, TX.

Understanding Aggressive Behaviors in Dogs


Read More

Aggression is one of the most concerning behaviors your dog can exhibit. If left unchecked, an aggressive dog can pose a serious threat to family members, strangers, other dogs, or even themselves.

Many dog owners struggle with how to recognize early warning signs of aggression or how to effectively address these tendencies. Identifying and managing aggressive behavior early on is crucial in preventing it from escalating into more dangerous situations.

Common signs of aggression in dogs include:

  • Growling or bearing teeth
  • Threatening barks
  • Standing rigid and/or taller
  • Raised fur
  • Nipping and biting

Aggression often stems from underlying issues like fear, anxiety, improper training, or negative environments. Dogs that have been rescued from poor situations or found on the street are particularly susceptible to developing aggressive behaviors.

At Dog Training Elite, we specialize in professional dog training for aggression, helping your dog transform from fearful or aggressive to a happy, friendly, and loyal companion.

    I am pleased to recommend Jan as a professional dog trainer. Jan possesses an exceptional ability to guide dog owners in becoming effective handlers. His approach includes thorough explanations of canine behaviors and practical strategies for correction, fostering a strong bond between owners and their dogs while effectively addressing challenges. Throughout our training term, Jan was consistently available for phone consultations to discuss any issues that arose, and he provided insightful solutions during our subsequent classes. His commitment to his clients and their dogs is truly commendable. I strongly endorse Jan as an outstanding choice for your dog’s training needs. The success of dog training is contingent not only on the dogs themselves but significantly on the expertise of the trainer, and Jan exemplifies this standard.

    Jackson was fantastic with my dog, Leo! He was patient, understanding, and explained things in a way that made it all feel easy and stress-free. Leo has learned so much, and our bond has strengthened in the process. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

    Jan did a fantastic job helping train Luna. She is officially a service dog now. The whole team at Dog Elite were great. Thanks Alex, Jan, Ashley and front office! Just 7 months and Luna went from unruly, disobedient, hard headed to a FANTASTIC SERVICE DOG for my daughter. We can't thank you enough.

    Exceptional experience with Dog Training Elite - Jan is Amazing! We recently had the pleasure of working with Jan from Dog Training Elite for our Cane Corso, Murray. From our first meeting, it was clear that Jan is not only a highly skilled trainer but also deeply passionate about dogs and their owners. Jan tailored our training sessions specifically to meet the needs of our Cane Corso, taking the time to understand his unique personality and behavior. His approach is both compassionate and effective, helping to build a strong bond of trust between us. Jan's expertise in addressing specific behavioral issues has made a world of difference in our dog's responsiveness and overall demeanor. One of the standout aspects of Jan's training is his ability to communicate complex concepts in easily understandable terms. He provided us with practical tools and techniques that we could implement at home, making it easy to reinforce the training in our daily routine. What impressed us most was Jan's patience and dedication. He genuinely cares about the success of his clients. With his guidance, we have become more confident in ourselves and Murray’s potential to become a well mannered balanced dog we can take anywhere. We wholeheartedly recommend Jan and Dog Training Elite to anyone in need of dog training services. Whether you have a puppy or a more challenging breed, Jan has the skills and knowledge to make a positive impact. Thank you, Jan, for your incredible work and for helping us create a harmonious relationship with our Cane Corso!

    If you are considering a training place for your dog, this is definitely the place I’d recommend for you. The trainers are very professional, the process is very easy, and the prices are very competitive. I was able to get my two dogs started in training in less than two weeks. Mikaela is super nice and helpful, and the trainers Jan and Ash are the best! So patient, so dedicated, and knowledgeable. My dogs are now at week 2 of in facility training and they are doing great!

She has managed to achieve results that I never thought possible for our dog. Michaela has been great as well. I could truly go on and on about how wonderful our experience has been.

    Jackson is great and patient with us! I appreciate all the work he put us to do and how well he is with Cooper! Little by little he gets better and better

    Dog Training Elite has been one of the best investments my husband & I have made. Our shepherd is night and day in comparison to where we began. We are excited to see where his training will continue to guide both him and us. We really appreciate our trainer, Jackson. He has taken the time to hear our concerns & always leaves us with feedback & ways to combat my dog Rams tendencies to rush & jump on me. We continue to be a work in progress but seeing as though I couldn’t simply walk Ram on a leash before without being dragged down the street, to him letting me to take the lead now, listening to basic obedience and continues to improve with his behavior has been a joy for us. We 100% recommend Dog Training Elite, we felt good about this decision from the beginning when we had our assessment. Again, the trainer then gave us so much insight & that was before we even decided to move forward with the training.

    After getting the free assessment from a very helpful and informative trainer, Jan Hernandez, I decided to get the platinum in home training for my aggressive and anxious dog. It’s been 3 weeks and I can already see exciting improvement. Jan is my dogs trainer he is very professional and his confidence and knowledge of dogs puts my mind at ease that he knows what he’s doing. He is able to answer every question I have has a great advice, tricks and tips for training. And anytime I have questions during the week someone responds with help. I’d really recommend dog training elite and Jan if you are looking for dog training and if you have an aggressive anxious/reactive dog like me. Also side note- My dog, at the free assessment, who is 60lbs, who’s hair was sticking up, and was aggressively barking at Jan to the point of standing up (my dog was held back by a leash) Jan immediately calmed him down after meeting him just that moment! My crazy dog was acting like himself after being aggressive a second prior! It was very cool.

    Dog training has been such a worthwhile investment both for my dog and myself. Everything we have been working on has helped so much to increase impulse control and decrease separation anxiety, and has given us tools to deal with his reactivity. This is our foster and I feel hopeful that training has given him the chance and structure he never had and we will get him to an adoptable place. Highly recommend!

Our Personalized Aggressive Dog Behavior Training

At Dog Training Elite, we understand that every dog is unique, and we have developed a comprehensive training program specifically to eliminate aggressive behaviors across various breeds.

  1. Initial In-Home Assessment: We begin with a free in-home assessment where we meet your dog to understand the underlying causes of their aggression, anxiety, or fears. During this session, we identify triggers and gather the necessary information to develop a personalized training plan.
  2. Personalized Training Plan Development: Based on the assessment, we create a customized training program tailored to your dog’s specific needs. This plan targets the unique behaviors and triggers that contribute to their aggression.
  3. Building Confidence and Establishing Leadership: Our trainers work closely with you to establish your role as the pack leader in your home. For fearful and anxious dogs, we focus on building confidence and reducing the fears that trigger aggressive behavior.
  4. Desensitization and Obedience Training: For overly aggressive dogs, we use desensitization techniques to reduce reactivity to triggers and anxieties. Obedience training are key components of this stage.
  5. Group Class Integration: Once your dog reaches a safe baseline of obedience, we gradually introduce them to group class settings. These classes are designed to help your dog reintegrate into social environments successfully. For safety, a muzzle is required during these sessions to protect all dogs involved.
  6. Ongoing Support and Reinforcement: We continue to support you and your dog throughout the training process, offering guidance and reinforcement to ensure lasting success. Our goal is to help your dog become a loving, loyal, and well-behaved member of your family.
