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! More...

Dean has been a blessing to my husband and me and our new puppy. We got a new puppy (Lily) to be friends with our 5 year old sedate poodle (Izzi). What a shock when we found out what a terror the puppy was and the jealousy of Izzi. Dean saved us from pulling our hair out. He immediately formed a positive relationship with our 3 month old mini poodle and our 5 year old. He taught my husband commands to use and he taught Lily and Izzi the commands. He also recommended toys, playpen and games they love. We cannot thank Dean enough. Also, he always taken my calls and responds to texts regarding questions post training. Bill, Izzi and Lily give our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Dean. He is the best🪵🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺🐾🦴💕 More...

I could not recommend Dean enough to anyone who needs help training their dog. Dean was prompt, helpful and brought a level of fun to all of our training sessions. Our dog loved the “treat man” and responded extremely well to Dean’s methodology. What I appreciated the most was how Dean checked in (and still does even after we have completed our sessions) and that he always made us feel like he valued us as a customer. Our dog (and us!) have learned valuable lessons that we will be able to carry into the years to come. More...

Dean provided Advanced Obedience Training for our almost 2 year old golden retriever, Pooh Bear. Pooh Bear had a very solid foundation of basic skills (sit, stay, lay down, walking on a leash, etc), but we needed some help getting her socialized and working through recall with distractions. The first three sessions focused on socialization, visiting Home Depot first, then the Shops at La Cantera, and then Boerne Main Street. Dean was fantastic in teaching us how to navigate public places through redirecting, maintaining eye contact with treats, handling distractions and greeting people. She absolutely loved getting some new sniffs and meeting Home Depot employees and families with small children. So much fun! We also worked on recall during our last session and learned some helpful tips and tricks we’ll be able to use again and again! Dean even spent a little time with our new puppy and gave us a few pointers as we’re navigating training a puppy and continuing to train our older dog. Dean was very willing to discuss and answer any one-off questions we had, including harnesses, high value treats, and separation anxiety. We have been very impressed by his depth of knowledge, his enthusiasm for what he does, and his love of dogs! Highly recommend for advanced training! Thank you, Double D! More...

I must say I'm very happy with the outcome of Molly's training. We just moved to Texas and the change didn't sit well with my dog, she started acting out and barking at people for no reason. I contacted Dean and we spoke about my concerns, after the first day of training I could see the results. The basic obedience program gave her the structure she was craving, now we both have the tools to help her adapt into her new environment ans it's working great! Besides her learning new commands, it streghten the bond between us and she is a happier dog. I will keep up with the training and all the great advice I received from Dean, I couldn't be happier!

We loved Dean, the owner of Double D Dog Training. Cooper, our 8 week old English Doodle did too! He would get so excited when he saw Dean drive up! We all looked forward to each training session. It was upbeat, positive and so much FUN! We all learned so much! Dean recommended specific toys and treats for Cooper and they were all perfect! Prices are very reasonable, especially since Dean came to our house. It was great to train in our own home environment. We are excited to add some add on training once Cooper has all of his vaccinations. If you are looking for some dog training - highly recommend Double D without hesitation! More...

Dean is amazingly good. Someone called him the dog whisperer and we agree. He is calm, patient,knowledgeable & our Thumper (12 lb Bichon/Shihtzu mix, 1 1/2 years,& terribly spoiled, also totallyuntrained) loved him. Dean had him doing everything he asked plus taught us how to train him. He arrived on time plus was very pleasant to be around.

We just got our new puppy “Summer” just over a month ago and today she (and we) graduated puppy training. We are so proud! We haven’t had a puppy in many years and had no idea where to start. Cue Dean, the dog dude! What a blessing! He had her responding to commands nearly immediately. We, on the other hand, took a little more time, but still caught on pretty quickly. 😆. Dean is a true training professional and you can tell he really cares about your pup, and you, getting it right. He answers all questions thoroughly and has great suggestions. After 4 weeks, we have a puppy who understands and responds to a lot of commands and we have the knowledge and the tools to keep her a happy, trained dog. We will definitely be calling Dean back for more advanced training when she’s a little older and ready. Summer, Tom and I thank you!!! More...

We cannot recommend Double D Dog Training enough. Why you ask? 1. DOES NOT use a shock collar. 2. Dean, the trainer, comes to your home. 3. Rewards the positive behavior, and helps you, the pup parent, to understand why your pup can be naughty and how to correct that behavior in a very positive way. 4. Very positive reviews. 5. Dean’s just an all around nice guy who genuinely wants your pup to be the best they can be. After adopting a dog recently, we quickly realized he needed more training than what we could provide to him ourselves. After doing some research, we decided to choose Double D Dog Training. The 4-week Basic Obedience course is packed with training and information. Any question we had, he answered. Dean’s insight and knowledge, as well as his training skills, are top notch. Very highly recommend Double D Dog Training! More...

He’s protective of us and easily distracted by squirrels and cats on the sidewalk. (Runners and cyclists, too). We really liked that Dean was able to come to our home and focus just on us and our dog. He explained everything that we would be doing before we started the sessions, and he gave us loads of tips for reinforcing the desired behavior. We learned as much as, if not more, than the dog did, and we are grateful for Dean’s expertise. More...

Dean and Double D Dog Training are far and away the best money you can possibly spend for not only your dog’s training needs, but your own needs as well. My wife and I felt extremely discouraged with how our dog was behaving (or not behaving as the case was), even after we had invested the time and energy into other training classes. We knew that we were part of the problem with not providing the consistent training and follow up needed. Having Dean instruct and guide us and show us just how invaluable consistency and follow through are with training was the greatest reward we could have gotten. If you have any hesitation about individualized training, you can bet that they will be gone after utilizing Dean and his program. Dean has our highest recommendation and will definitely exceed every expectation you could have. More...

We had a rather large dog that was not getting the most basic command of "come". She is one of those dogs that are fearfully afraid of thunder, and brought that fear to vet visits. We are on 5 acres, and if she saw me with a leash, she was gone. My son could always eventually wrangle her, but it was an immense chore. The worst was when she slipped her collar at Herbst. It took three physician's assistants and myself to catch her (she took off to that vacant field across the street). That was the final straw. I somehow found Dean, who came twice a week, and oh-so-slowly, little by little, got her to his van, then got her to put a paw on the opening, then up in the van. I told him at the beginning he'll never do it. I was wrong. Now, when I grab the leash, she runs to the back of my SUV, and waits for me to open the hatch, and then jumps in. Amazing. Dean was patient, kind, and I felt he did the job he came to do in a timely and efficient manner. I cannot recommend him enough. More...

For the last two years I have been taking our Aussie, named Stitches, to a local groomer, Pooches Day Spa, located at the end of Fair Oaks Parkway in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX. Initially Stitches was reluctant at being dropped off, but as time went by, Stitches attitude has gone from reticent to eager. Seven weeks ago I engaged Dean Duet who works at Pooches Day Spa and who also has a dog training business evenings and weekends, to come out to our house on Sundays and work with Stitches and I on obedience training. What I have concluded participating in the training, is that Dean is the reason Stitches likes going to the groomers. Dogs have an innate sense for gauging the range of people’s emotions like anger, fear, sadness, love, kindness, empathy and warmth. Just like humans, dogs respond to the emotions that they sense in the humans they encounter. Stitches has responded in kind to the positive emotions radiated by Dean. And just as kids learn that Dad’s mean fun and Mom’s mean business, Stitches has quickly learned to want to be cooperative in the training process. It is the empathy and warmth as much as it is the great treats that Dean uses as rewards in the training process that Stitches is responding to. I can recommend Dean without reservation as a dog trainer! More...
