FAQs

Get your questions answered!
1How do I get started?
We start our process with a free consultation. Fill out our contact form here. Once we receive your contact form, we will reach out to schedule a phone consultation. After a phone consultation we can determine if we need to evaluate the dog before training starts. During your phone consultation we will go over the goals and obstacles you'd like to overcome with your canine partner and formulate a training plan that can help you obtain them.
2What breeds do you work with?
Dewayne trains with all breeds big and small. All dogs have the capacity to learn once you find out what motivates them. We develop our programs around the dog and owner to create the best success!
3What is the best age to start training?
The best time to start training is the moment you get the dog! Everything your dog is going to experience effects the end goals you have. Dewayne offers training to dogs as early as 8 weeks old. No dog is too old to train but the older the dog is the more undesired habits they tend to have. It’s always easier to start with a blank canvas, but we are very successful with all levels of rehabilitation. Old dogs CAN learn new tricks!
4How long does training take?
We start our process with a free consultation. During that consultation we will find out what your goals are. Once we establish your goals and find what obstacles we’ll need to overcome, we can create a timeline for success!
5My dog is aggressive, what do I do?
Most dog aggression stems from fear! Proper communication and expectations remove confusion and fear. We teach you how to be a leader for your dog so they don’t have to be. Once your dog understands the expectations and that you will advocate for them they no longer feel the need to defend themselves and follow your lead.
6What methods do you use?
Dewayne has been a dog trainer for over 17 years. He has learned to use a vast variety of tools and techniques. We provide success to the owner and dog that is in front of us. Rather than using a predesigned program, we develop the program based on you and your dog's needs. We want you to be comfortable with the tools and techniques. The more comfortable you are the more successful you will be!
7What is the cost to get my dog trained?
Every dog and dog owner are unique and so are their goals and expectations. We customize a program to fit those specific needs to create success for you and your dog! Pricing will vary based on goals discussed during your consultation.
8Will my dog listen after training?
Consistency is key in dog training! As long as the dog owner continues with clear communication and holds the dog to the expectations established, your dog will be just as successful with you as they are with us!

We couldn’t be happier with the training our puppy received! From the very beginning, it was clear that Dewayne genuinely cares about helping both dogs and their families succeed. His passion for what he does shines through in every session. Our puppy has become so much more obedient, confident, and enjoyable to be around thanks to his guidance and training techniques. He didn’t just teach our dog—he taught us how to communicate effectively and build a stronger relationship with our puppy. If you’re looking for someone who truly wants to help you create a happy, well-behaved dog and a happier home, I can’t recommend him enough. We’re so grateful for everything he has done for our family!

As a dog owner, I can honestly say working with Dewayne has been an absolute game-changer for me and my pup. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported—never judged, just guided with so much patience and expertise. Dewayne has such a natural way with dogs, and it shows in how quickly my dog responded to his training. He didn’t just train my dog—he taught me how to better understand and communicate with her, which made all the difference. His approach is calm, positive, and incredibly effective. I’ve seen such a huge improvement in my dog’s behavior, confidence, and overall happiness. Walks are easier, commands are followed, and I feel so much more confident as a dog owner. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, knows what he’s doing, and goes above and beyond, Dewayne is your guy. I’m so grateful I found him and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
