Double D Dog Training

Training is delivered through private, in-home sessions tailored to the dog’s age, breed, and behavior issues. Programs include the Puppy Foundation Program for puppies from 8 weeks, the Home Ready basic obedience program for dogs 7 months and older, the Community Ready and Confident Dog programs that add public sessions in high-distraction settings, and two-session Behavioral Solutions packages that target a single challenge such as crate training, leash walking, or a new dog introduction. Sessions run one hour, with a longer first session, and the trainer comes to the client’s home. Progress is supported with ongoing communication via phone and text between sessions. Training emphasizes building confidence, reducing reactivity, and improving family harmony through positive reinforcement.

Programs include a Puppy Foundation Program, the Home Ready basic obedience program, the Community Ready and Confident Dog programs that add public sessions in real-world settings, and two-session Behavioral Solutions packages that target one specific challenge.

The business supports dog owners with flexible scheduling, in-home convenience, and ongoing support via phone and text. Dean’s background includes dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, rescue work, and volunteer experience at animal shelters.

In addition to training, Double D Dog Training offers a curated selection of dog supplies including crates, beds, leashes, treats, toys, grooming tools, and separation anxiety aids.

The business accepts cash, checks, and Zelle payments and encourages clients to share progress on social media. Clients consistently highlight Dean’s professionalism, clear communication, and transformative results, especially for anxious, reactive, or high-energy dogs.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients start with a free consultation, requested through the website’s contact form or by phone, to discuss the dog’s behavior issues and the family’s goals. Dean then recommends a package and schedules private in-home sessions; the first session runs longer than the rest to cover the training packet, the home setup, and any upfront questions.
