ABOUT DEAN
My name is Dean Duet, also known as Double D, or as my friends like to call me, “Dog Dude.”
After taking my Bichon, Louie to training classes 16 years ago, I found the passion and decided to pursue a career as a Professional Dog Trainer after leaving my corporate IT sales job 8 years ago.
I enjoy working with families to teach valuable training methods and techniques to help their dog become a well-behaved, well-mannered member of the family. Whether it’s a rescue from the shelter, or a pure-bred dog from a breeder, Double D Dog Training is here to help!
My clients are always amazed at how animals naturally gravitate to me. Having been on a spiritual path for many years, I have learned and incorporated many lessons in my work with dogs. I believe my strength as a dog trainer is my connection to the animals through kindness and compassion.
On any given day, you can find me walking a dog, at the dog park, volunteering at a local rescue or helping a neighbor with their dog. The consummate “Dog Dude”.
While Louie is no longer with us, he is still the heart and soul of Double D Dog Training! Woof Woof!
