Who I Am

Jan Hernandez

My journey with dogs started at a young age after my family moved to Houston and my mom started a dog boarding business from our home. Being surrounded by dogs every day gave me early exposure to dog behavior, care, and the responsibility that comes with working with animals.

Later on, I adopted a dog who was reactive toward other dogs, and that experience pushed me to better understand dog behavior, communication, and the relationship between dogs and their owners. Learning how to help him navigate the world more confidently deepened my passion for working with dogs.

As I continued learning, I volunteered my time helping friends, local shelters, and rescue dogs while gaining as much experience as possible. During that time, I also worked at a boarding, training, and daycare facility, where I learned more about dog handling, structure, and behavior in a professional environment.

From there, I worked my way up to assistant dog trainer before becoming a dog trainer at a company where I spent several years working with a wide variety of dogs and training styles. I worked with behavior modification cases, aggression, reactivity, service dogs, therapy dogs, scent work, and even some item retrieval training.

Today, owning my own company and helping owners build better relationships with their dogs is something I’m truly grateful for. If you’ve trusted me with your dog and you’re reading this, I genuinely appreciate your support and trust. It means more than you know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My goal

My approach to dog training is centered around the relationship between the dog and the owner. Every client and every dog is different, which is why I take the time to look at the full picture — the dog’s behavior, the owner’s goals, and the realities of everyday life.

I focus on creating practical training solutions that build trust, communication, structure, and confidence for both the dog and the owner. While I use balanced training methods, I believe lasting results come from a strong relationship first.

At the same time, I keep the training process clear, structured, and easy to follow so owners always understand what we’re working on, why it matters, and how to continue making progress at home. My goal is to provide clear guidance, realistic expectations, and a training plan that works in real life — not just during sessions.

Training is not just about obedience. It’s about creating a calmer, more reliable, and more meaningful relationship between you and your dog.
