Why Double D Dog Training?

San Antonio’s most trusted in-home dog trainer — CPDT-KA Certified, 10 years experience, 2,000+ dogs, 238 five-star reviews.

Hello, I’m Dean, aka Double D, or as my friends like to call me the “Dog Dude,” founder of Double D Dog Training and the trainer behind every single training session helping families raise happy, well-mannered dogs using positive reinforcement training methods only.

My journey into dog training started with my own dog — a sweet Bichon named Louie.

When I took him to training, I had one realization that changed everything: dogs learn best when they are understood, not intimidated. That belief led me to leave a 20-year career in software sales which taught me how to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and solve problems under pressure — and earn my CPDT-KA certification, the gold standard in professional dog training. Those same skills show up in every session I do today.

Clients often tell me they feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to their dog after training—and that’s the greatest success I could ask for.

Since launching Double D Dog Training in 2017, I’ve worked with over 2,000 dogs and their families, using humane, science-based training methods that build trust, confidence, and lasting results right here in the San Antonio area. I can help you with:
