We had such a wonderful experience working with Dean from Double D Dog Training! We did in-home puppy training for our Cavalier, Henry, and I truly can't say enough good things about the entire process. From the very beginning, Dean was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient - not just with Henry, but with us as well. He has a way of making training feel approachable and even fun, which made such a difference as this was our first experience with a dog trainer. Nothing ever felt overwhelming or intimidating. Dean was also very reassuring that a lot of what we have experienced with our Henry was normal puppy behavior. What really stood out to us was how personalized the training was. Dean took the time to understand Henry's personality and our lifestyle, and then tailored everything to fit our home environment. That made it so much easier for us to stay consistent and actually implement what we were learning day-to-day. Henry has learned all of his basic commands and is doing so well. We've seen such a transformation in his behavior, confidence, and responsiveness. It's been such a joy to watch him grow, and we truly feel like Dean set us up with a strong foundation that will last. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled at what he does but also genuinely cares about both you and your dog, we highly recommend Dean. This was one of the best investments we've made for Henry and our home! read more

Dean is a magician. We got a lab puppy and needed training, especially since we have 2 toddlers. I was so worried 4 sessions wouldn't do much, but after 5 minutes into the first session, he had her sitting on command. I'm not exaggerating. He knows what he's doing. I just wish he could train toddlers and husbands too read more

Dean was such an amazing help with our sweet puppy, Olive! Our sessions with him really helped us understand how to eliminate unwanted behaviors and communicate more clearly with our pup. He was super patient with our 4 wild kids and helped teach them some basic commands as well. We're so grateful! read more

Can't recommend Double D Dog Training highly enough! It's been exactly a year since Dean trained our English Doodle puppy when he was only 8 weeks old. Loved the training in our own home since Cooper didn't have all his shots yet! we all loved Dean and looked forward to training day cuz it was so much FUN! We did Puppy and Advanced Training. Cooper is well behaved. Sits for pats, waits at the door/gate until told it's ok to go. Sits for passing cars and walks great on the leash. He doesn't react when the 3 barking dogs charge the fence on our walks. Thanks Double D for helping us set a great foundation and build an amazing relationship with our Coop Coop! read more

I contacted Double D through their online form and Dean called the same day! We talked about our new puppy, Libby, and older dog, Macy. We started the puppy program a few days later and it was fantastic! Dean is a terrific teacher for both dogs and their owners. I learned so much and so did Libby and Macy. Libby graduated, but we are continuing to practice. It is also great knowing that I can call Dean with any further questions. Best experience!! read more

Highly recommend. Dean is an excellent trainer. The first training he brought extra equipment to see what worked best with our dog. He is patient, kind and wonderful with dogs! He even would text me and speak to me on the phone when I had questions or concerns. I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

I couldn't be happier with Dean at Double D Dog Training! I enrolled my chihuahua, Princess, in the 4-session basic training class. Princess learned the commands sit, touch, look at me, wait & stay. During the 4 weeks, a friend was looking to rehome her chihuahua, Honey. I was happy to adopt Honey except for one problem: my sweet Princess was very reactive to other dogs. Double D introduced me to the Engage/Disengage game. After several "games" between Honey & Princess, it finally clicked for Princess. They are now the best of friends.....all thanks to Double D Dog Training!! read more

My family found Double D via google search. Our Morkie puppy needed some basic training and the fact that Dean travels to your residence was super convenient for our work schedules. We enrolled our pup, Charlie, into Double D's Basic Training 4-week course and we couldn't be happier with the results. With just one class every week for four weeks, Dean thought our pup how to sit, stay, wait, take it, leave it, look, touch, and even more; he completely transformed our high-energy girl into one that actually listens to us!! As Dean would say, it takes a lot of practice, so of course when we were not in class, we would regularly practice with Charlie every day, 2-3 times a day, for 5 minutes each time. She's a pro. We enjoyed Dean's help so much, we even enrolled Charlie in the Advanced Training classes where we go out to public places and reiterate all of the commands she learned in a "distracting environment"! Dean is very personable and you can tell he's extremely passionate about his career. Thank you so much, Double D!!! read more

We found Dean through a call to our vet. He was able to come to the house for Abby (3) and Lizzy (5 mos) . The pricing is very reasonable for in home training. The training, ( Deans a whisperer), is immediate. The girls reacted to him IMMEDIATELY, so it made training US a much easier. Practice-practice-practice is his mantra and the more we do practice the better our lessons are applied. We will be signing up with him for advanced - we really believe in Dean and his calm, attentive approach to the girls and especially with US! No doubt it's Dean for us !! read more

We have seen night and day improvements with our two year old Chihuahua mix. He is a little man with a big personality and Dean helped us better understand him and his needs to be able to continuously work with him. We would get very nervous bringing him around new people and dogs in particular and now we are more confident in him. Dean is very knowledgeable and patient as we were all learning new habits for Bear. Bear will definitely miss his new friend Double D a.k.a. Mr. treat man. We really appreciate all the guidance with Bear read more

Dean is an amazing dog trainer. He had our little schnauzer trained to 3 commands on the first visit. He not only works with your dog but with you the owner as well. After 5 sessions, we were amazed at what he had taught our young pup. Thank you Dean! Cresa Davis read more

Dean was incredible in working with my puppy. She was a handful (to say the least) and he helped me understand not only the basics, but how to build a great schedule and what tools to use to keep her busy throughout the day. She can do sit, stay, down, leave it, take it/drop it, look at me, and our new favorite - touch - which gets her to come to me from anywhere in the house. Can't wait to see how she continues to learn! read more

I cannot rave about Dean enough! His training has completely changed the way my dog Teddy behaves. Dean taught Teddy and I so much in just 4 training sessions. Dean listened to all my struggles/concerns with Teddy and started working with him when he was 10 months old. I worried it was too late and Teddy had already learned bad habits. However, I was so wrong. I saw a huge difference after practicing a few things Dean showed us during the first session. With positive reinforcement and consistent practice at home, Teddy was finally listening and dropping bad habits. My favorite thing is that you can see just how passionate Dean is about training dogs. He loves it and truly wants to help them do their best! Dean's prices are unbeatable for training that is tailored to your dogs needs. It was so helpful to have him in my home to see how Teddy acts and how our home is set up. Dean was great at communicating and frequently texted to check in on Teddy. I felt so comfortable knowing I could text any time I had questions or issues. I cannot recommend Dean's training services enough!!! read more

We had Double D help us with our Rotty/Pitty mix puppy. She is a handful at 75 pounds, and we got a ton of great tips to keep her obedient and social. Dean is a very kind, patient and gentle trainer. He worked with my 16 year old son to make sure he knew the right things to do. He helped us pick out the right training treats and what to do after he left. He is the most reasonably priced trainer in the area and he is the best! Our puppy's behavior was changed for the better! Our whole family recommends his services! read more

We used Dean & Double D Dog Training to help us with our 7 month old Blue Heeler Shepherd mix, Benny. Our initial goal was to get Benny some basic training and manners, so we can get him into agility and intermediate training. Dean was so patient and encouraging to help us positively reinforce Benny in his training. By the end of our four sessions of Obedience Training, Benny completed sit, stay, lay down, wait, shake, leave it, walked calmly on a leash, AND off to stop jumping on us. We were so happy with the results, that we followed up and did another 4 sessions of the Advanced Obedience Training. Dean was very accommodating in meeting us and helping us socialize Benny at dog parks, and the Pearl as well. We had so much fun with Dean and his training, and Benny can't wait to see him again! read more

My 5 year old husky shepherd mix, Remi, has always been nervous around men and I felt I was losing control of her so my mom gave me Dean's number. We just completed our 4th obedience class this morning and I'm beyond impressed with Remi's progress with both Dean and her training. She struggled the first day with a strange man near her, but she has a new BFF today in Dean. I never thought much about obedience training but the skills Dean gave us has given both Remi and I more confidence and I have a lot more control with her. I 100% would recommend Double D Dog training and I intend to use these new training skills daily with both Remi, and my 11 year old poodle mix who doesn't like rules. Even she has benefit from Doube D Dog Training. Practice definitely makes perfect, and I am thrilled to continue practicing and using these training skills in the future. Thanks Dean! read more

Dean worked with myself and my Tasmanian Devil of a Corgi!

He also took the time to teach Charlie some cool tricks! I would highly recommend Dean to anyone who has a dog and wants to work on obedience or just teach an old dog some new tricks!! read more

I"m so happy that I hired Dean to train my energetic male blue heeler. Heelers have lots of energy and I was unable to take him for a walk, to the vet, etc without him pulling me so hard that it was impossible. In addition to teaching him to walk---a miracle---my dog learned to wait calmly at the door instead of nearly knocking us down, watch me for verbal cues and also how to come when called. I found Dean to have a huge heart for animals, experienced and patient. He's the kind of person that you'd enjoy having over for dinner. Both my rescue dogs fell in love with him on the first visit. read more
