I'm old. I've had lots of dogs but I've never had to train a pit bull. Dwayne has been a godsend in helping me in bringing out the "good boy" in my super smart and super stubborn pittie. With Dwayne's support my Mello dog is making great progress in becoming a great family member. Thank you Dwayne!

I highly recommend Dwayne the Dog Guy!! Dewayne taught me how to handle my spunky Doberman Nirvana! Now, when I walk her down the street, folks stop their cars to let me know how beautiful and well behaved she is!! (I’m not kidding!!) Dewayne doesn’t stop with a few training sessions. He invests in the life of your dog. Going to Dewayne’s Saturday pack walks reinforces the training, and connects you with other dog owners. These connections are so helpful because some of us need the repetition and practice week after week. Dewayne is there to continue to support you and genuinely cares about the welfare of your dog!!

Dewayne worked wonders with my dog, who was always on edge and ready to attack anything, anyone, and any dog that came near that he didn’t know. He was scared (which he showed with aggression, even to a bag of leaves on the road bc that didn’t make sense to him). He’d pull, lunge, snap with little growl for warning. It was difficult to handle my problematic behavior dog, especially having never had a dog with these issues before. The first time I took Bentley to Dwayne was for the 3 week training and boarding. I was in awe of how within minutes Dwayne had Bentley on leash and laying at his feet (although unhappily but calm without continued snapping). It was the fastest I had ever seen Bentley settle. He was even able to slowly lean down and pet him. He listened to Bentleys warning after that pet with a soft low growl, but minutes later he was able to do a second pet. I knew we were in the right place. I will never forget it. It’s not something anyone had ever been able to do before. 3 weeks later I had a dog that more often reflected the dog I knew and loved (he was comfortable in more settings than ever before, like walks), goofy and more confident, all through the tools and communication Dewayne gave us. Dwayne has taught me so many things, and he came to my house twice after the 3 weeks to help with the transition to home (and I don’t live that close). Dewayne and his family have become part of me and bentleys family. I love being able to board Bentley with them, knowing he gets love and the right kind of attention my difficult boy needs. Bentley even gets to play with his dogs now, in a safe controlled setting, which is something I never thought Bentley would get again. Dewayne has always been available to me for questions and advice, and I know he loves Bentley and wants the best for both us. 1000% recommend him for all your doggy needs. Dewayne and his fam are the best. Pic: My monster is the crazy happy one with his tongue out, surrounded by other dogs (a pic Dewayne shared with me one time while Bentley was being boarded, love getting those pic updates when I’m away)

I cannot say enough good things about Dewayne and the incredible work he did with my dog!! My dog Robbie, who struggled with self-confidence issues, has made a complete transformation thanks to Dewayne's guidance. The training sessions were structured, positive, and always tailored to my dog’s specific needs and personality. I really appreciated the patience and clarity with which Dwayne explained each step, making it easy for me to stay consistent and confident at home. Beyond the training itself, Dewayne was incredibly professional—always punctual, respectful, and responsive. He provided detailed follow-up notes and was always available to answer questions between sessions. If you're looking for a dog trainer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly committed to helping both dogs and their owners succeed, I wholeheartedly recommend Dewayne the Dog Guy. This experience has been a game-changer for us, and I’m so grateful we found such a dedicated trainer! Thank you again! Robbie-Ray

We can’t say enough positive things about Dewayne! Dewayne came highly recommended from another client of his who raved about how much he helped their pups. Our Charley girl was testing every limit we had prior to calling him— think somewhere between baby shark and t-rex. We talked on the phone with Dewayne for a consult where he thoroughly explained the training options. We proceeded with an in person eval to make sure that we were all on the same page, ensuring that Charley would respond well to his direction. We immediately knew Dewayne would be able to help and scheduled the board and train. We missed our girl but when she came home… she was a total transformation (in the best way)! He taught her structure and boundaries then taught us how to continue and build upon this newly learned solid foundation she learned while training with him. We’re now confident taking her just about anywhere or having anyone over to our home, knowing she’ll listen and behave. We attend pack walks as much as we can and appreciate the continued training and new knowledge learned each time. We can’t thank Dewayne enough and would recommend him every single time!

Review for Dewayne the Dog Guy ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10) Dewayne the Dog Guy is an absolute game-changer! We give him a perfect 10 out of 10 for his incredible work with our Doberman, Ruby. His expertise, patience, and genuine love for dogs made all the difference in helping Ruby become the well-behaved companion she is today. We honestly couldn’t have managed without his guidance—Dewayne’s training approach is clear, effective, and tailored to our dog’s needs. He’s a true professional who makes the process enjoyable for both dog and owner. We’re already looking forward to having him train our next puppy! Highly recommend Dewayne to anyone seeking top-notch dog training.

If you have a Belgian Malinois, or really any other type of dog breed to be honest, this guy is for you. He guides you through to have an obedient, well mannered dog that listens understands your commands. He gives you the right tools to succeed. I also really admire his commitment to these dogs, if you have any issues after the program, he’s there to help no questions asked. Awesome dude, and he knows dog psychology very well. I highly recommend him

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Dewayne when we began training our dog, Lottie. From the start, I appreciated that he offered a complete training package—both on and off leash—with no limit on sessions until she was fully trained. Dewayne started working with Lottie while she was still a puppy, and while he challenged her, he never pushed too hard. He came to our home for training, which made a huge difference—especially with involving our kids. Now, all of them know how to confidently handle her with commands like sit, heel, place, come, down, leave it, drop, and stay. Lottie walks perfectly on and off leash, and even runs alongside me—then sits automatically when I stop. We constantly get compliments from neighbors and strangers about how well-behaved she is when we’re out and about. It’s such a great feeling knowing how solid her training is. Beyond that, Dewayne has become our go-to when we travel. Lottie is always excited to stay with him, and we know she’s in the best hands. We are beyond grateful to have found Dewayne—his work has truly transformed our experience as dog owners!

We can't recommend Dewayne The Dog Guy enough!!! Everywhere we go with our GSD, people are always commenting on how well behaved she is. Dewayne totally transformed her!! We can't recommend him enough! If you are on the fence about training, go ahead and start now, it's well worth it!!! Hope to see you at pack walks. -Stevven & Christy Anderson

Excellent dog trainer! 12 out of 10! Dewayne is very friendly and personable, puts you at ease, will always recommend!

Dewayne is the best trainer around. He's professional, kind and very knowledgeable. The difference in a dog before his training and after is remarkable. I recommend him to anyone with a dog needing training.

Dewayne is THE BEST! We moved to NC from the opposite side of the country only knowing one other person in the area, so I didn't have anyone to get dog trainer recommendations from, leaving me to find someone on my own. Dewayne had great reviews, but what sold me was my initial conversation with him. I could tell he knew what he was doing, so I took the plunge. I'm a first time dog owner, the only dog my family had as a kid was an untrained golden retriever who was absolutely bananas and eventually "ran away." I always wanted a dog as an adult, but was so scared that I didn't have what it would take to have a well mannered and trained dog. This was the very best investment I could have ever made for Mabel (and us too!), after 10 visits with Dewayne, Mabel really is the dog I always dreamed of having. She's still only 6 months old, so she still has a lot of puppy in her, but we are completely off-leash now and she is my little shadow who just wants to make us happy. I don't know who needed the training more, Mabel or myself, but Dewayne knocked it out of the park. We're huge fans of Mr. Dewayne in this household and will forever recommend him to anyone we can! (He didn't even ask me to write this review like so many people do lately!)

I cannot say enough positive things about Dewayne and the results of his training. We did a three week board and train for our dog Archie. When Dewayne picked him up Archie was a wild, untrained mess of a puppy. He was driving us crazy and we could not get him under control. When he brought him back to us, he was still a fun, sweet dog, but was extremely obedient and well-behaved. He responds instantly to commands and is like a completely different dog. We actually love having him in the house now!

A true professional! I am so thankful that I googled and found Dewayne he gave me such great advice with my puppy whom I love dearly but because of her potty issues, I was considering putting her for adoption and it was literally breaking my heart so I’m so happy for the advice that I was given. I’m going to attempt to implement The things that were suggested and then I’m gonna book a follow up appointment to come and re-enforce the work that I’m doing. Thank you so much for this professional advice May God bless you and everything that you do..

I've just had my 1st training session with Dewayne the dog guy and I am absolutely amazed, shocked, excited, all the feels. In 1st few min my pup was focused on him and all his techniques which were quickly transferred to me being able to do and practice without him. I'm so glad I went with my gut to work with him. This man knows his stuff! If you are considering a dog trainer...this..is .your..guy!!

Awesome guy! Super great with reactive dogs.

Dewayne has been working with us to train our adopted puppy Bruce and the experience/results have been amazing. He has set us and our pup up for success in the future. Learning the techniques from Dewayne and putting in the repetition is essential; as long as you do that I’m confident you will be amazed by your pup. We are definitely thankful and happy for his service!

i’m so excited to get started with the instructions and tips from Dwayne during our 15 minute conference. I really believe I will have success with my stubborn pup now!

We called Dewayne to help us with a new Chihuahua puppy and we immediately booked his Puppy Package. Lessons at our house started right away and within one lesson we could already see results. Dewayne also taught us humans many techniques and skills for raising a puppy. Our puppy has learned so much and her progress has been beyond our expectations! Over the last year, we have had unwavering support from Dewayne who seems to love our puppy just as much as we do! Today, we have a happy, well adjusted, well behaved, friendly but polite 1 year old Chihuahua. I highly recommend Dewayne the Dog Guys, you will not be disappointed!

I adopted a Dutch Shepherd and was not honestly prepared for what I was bringing home - a big old pile of energy and a dog that needs consistent training. I needed to start somewhere and Dewayne helped 100%. I simply did not have the personal time to do all the work it would take to get the basics down. I run a business and my husband has a full-time job. When Koa came home he listened, followed his commands, and has been the best pup. Also anytime I have a problem or need some training or dog behavior advice he helps out. He’s literally a text away.

Dewayne has helped us tremendously! We went from not even being able to have our dogs in the same room to integrating them into one space. They grew from not being able to do anything together, to walks together and enjoying family time with one another around. We are so very grateful and cannot express our thanks enough! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Working with Dewayne was the absolute best decision my husband and I made for our new rescue pup! It’s a big decision to make but YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! I cannot say enough amazing things about Dewayne and his program!! We did the on/off leash program & our pup did not make it easy on us in the beginning; she would be very vocal and physically shut down when she would get stressed out by the simplest ask. Dewayne was so patient with her and my husband and I & now she has completed his program and surpassed all expectations! Dewayne has an amazing ability to connect with both dog and person. He always found a way to connect the lesson to something from our everyday life that we understood and could relate to. Thank you Dewayne for letting us join your pack and helping transform this container throw away rescue into a happy and well mannered farm pup living her absolute best life!

I have been struggling with my miniature schnauzer potty in all over the house within three minutes. Dwayne solved my problem. Thank you so much. We appreciate the support. Glad that we have someone in the community that could help us.

After much research, we decided on using Dwayne to train our eight month puppy Marley and to teach us the tools that we needed to reinforce the training. This was the best decision we made. The results were just about immediate in jumping on people, running out the front door & proper leash walking to name a few. We will be doing the next level of training with Dwayne, which will be walking off leash. We would not have been able to achieve what we did with Marley without his guidance.

We have a wonderful energetic and very smart standard poodle. And we are on the high side of age chart. Without good training that is a formula for a problem. Dewayne has brought training and discipline to our girl. His approach is gentle and driven by rewards, both verbal and treats. We could not be happier.

Dewayne has really helped me with my dog. Her name is Lola, she used to bark at everyone and would pull on the leash when we go for walks. With Dewayne’s help, she doesn’t bark anymore and I can take her for walks with no problem. He helped my sister with her two dogs before we hopped on the train, so he’s a great recommendation.

Dewayne is a miracle worker!!! Our dog had suffered from a very traumatic experience which completely changed him, he was in a constant state of anxiety which led to aggressive behavior and our poor boy was very unhappy. Dewayne was AMAZING, patient, and so "in tune" with what our Huckleberry needed. Thanks to Dewayne we have our "old dog" back - he is back to being our sweet, happy, loving, well behaved boy! His tail constantly wags and he always wants snuggles from his humans ♥️ Dewayne also taught our young kids some training tips and we constantly get compliments when we have him out in public for how well he listens to us and our kids. Dewayne is the best - he can literally train/help any dog regardless of whether they are a new puppy that needs initial training or if they are an older dog like ours who went through some tough times. Hiring Dewayne is what saved our sweet Huckleberry and helped him regain his happy life! Best decision ever!

Dewayne was so helpful in teaching me how to work with my dog Frankie to tackle his aggression issues. We went from being unable to answer the door safely and unable to walk him, to having him wait patiently in the hallway for me to open the door and successfully walk him around the neighborhood. The difference has been life-changing and allows Frankie a much better quality of life. I’m looking forward to continuing to help Frankie feel more comfortable around other dogs as we begin pack walks with Dewayne and other graduates. It’s such a relief to know that Dewayne is just a call away if we need any additional help. I highly recommend him!

Dewayne is a fantastic trainer! He came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He is very patient and clearly explains the how to’s and the why’s of his methods. If you’re having trouble remembering what he told you, he will take the time to show you again and again as many times as you need for it to click and he’ll also send you a video. He wants all of his clients, furry or not, to be successful. Thanks Dewayne!!

Dewayne is fantastic! He helped us train our new puppy. So impressed with how much we were able to accomplish with a puppy. He was great about involving our whole family (including 3 young kids) in the process. And he is always available with questions. When you train with him you become part of his ‘pack’ and continue a long term training relationship. Can’t recommend him enough!

Dewayne is an excellent trainer and I highly recommend him. I really appreciate that he takes the time to explain the reason behind the method and doesn't hesitate to tell you when you're not doing something correctly. Our training sessions have made a world of difference in my dog and we couldn't be happier.

He made a world of difference with our German Shepherd. I would highly recommend him.

This has been a great experience since our first interaction with Dewayne. He is professional, punctual, easy to work with and amazing with Dogs. I have a 7 month (full of energy) lab who is successfully completing Dewayne’s 1:1 on and off leash training. Dewayne uses a soft, effective touch with animals. Once finished, I am looking forward to Saturday Pack Walks with Dewayne and friends.

It's been hard work, but Dewayne has helped us transform a wild child pound pup into a life saving service dog.

Dewayne is a great trainer. I love how he takes his time to explain everything that I need to know about my dog. In my opinion Dewayne is the greatest.

I am very well pleased with the work that Dewayne and Brittany have done with my 2 pups. I had planned on getting a 2 month old pup and then a 4 month old came available so I ended up with 2! The first few days I knew I was in trouble, I looked online at different trainers and explained my situation and Dewayne took on the challenge! He offered me a plan that was designed for my needs, my timing& my wallet. I am very pleased I can never thank them enough for helping me and my pups to be better! I will recommend Dewayne the dog guy to everyone who needs a trainer to help their dogs to be the best they can be! Thank you and may God bless you, your family and you business abundantly!

Dewayne is great. Absolutely does wonders for the dogs. My boy was very stubborn and super hyper but Dewayne got him right.

We have a very stubborn German Shepard. We brought him to 2 different trainers where he was boarded and they trained him. 1 trainer had him for 5 weeks and the second trainer for 3 weeks. When we got him back both times, he was still uncontrollable and wild. We could not bring him in public. We then found Dewayne and he said that he could train him. We took another chance on a 3rd trainer. Let me say that he turned my guy around so much, that it is now enjoyable when we go out in public.I HIGHLY recommend Dewayne the dog guy for a trainer. Don’t spend as much as we did on 2 different trainers to get poor results. He’s the guy you need for all your dog training needs.

Very knowledgeable and experienced.

Way over priced for what you get. Very basic training.

When we got our dog, Pepper, he was not socialized. Dewayne has helped us to make Pepper a more confident and obedient dog. I cannot begin to tell you what a difference this has made in our lives. Thank you, Dewayne!!

Dwayne completed at home training with Opie our 15 mo Vizsla yesterday. Dwayne first ask what we expected from Opie & his training was successful & precise…he always gave exact instructions to the me & the dog…we highly recommend Dwayne the Dog Guy.

First time dog owner. First time training a dog. Results, my dog will now: Heel Place Come Stay Lay down Sit We did on leash group training and it went really well for us. I will say, the hardest part is trying to train the person. It's hard work, but it's worth it.

Our Evie has improved by leaps and bounds. She is a sweet doggie with some massive anxiety and a very over active imagination. We use to struggle with walking her on a leash due to her pulling and "freaking out" the whole time. She now walks on a leash and her "freak out" moments have almost completely disappeared. We have also learned to read her body language better and ways to help her over come her fears. This was the best decision we could have made.

I highly recommend Dewayne. He worked with Pearl, our Bichon. She learned her commands and enjoyed the process. She loves pac walks and it’s a way to reinforce her training.

Dewayne is definitely the guy to call when it comes to dog training. He’s very professional and awesome!

We have a totally different dog, in the best way. Dewayne worked 1on 1 with us and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

We have had 2 dogs trained by Dewayne, and we are very satisfied with the results!

Our family chose the board and train option with Dewayne. We have been very pleased with our results and continue to learn weekly. He is truly the dog guy and family guy. He's very patient with the adults and kids learning how to handle the dog once the dog rejoins the family. Dewayne met one on one several times, answered numerous questions by text and continues to help us during pack walk each week. Our family can enjoy our time with Remi so much more since our training with Dewayne and for that I'm very grateful.

Dewayne is the man! He is absolutely a Dog whisperer. Our Golden Retriever went to Dewayne as a pup with no prior training, and came back a genius! Dewayne is always available when we have questions or need advice. He is worth the money!

Dwayne was super sweet and helpful when I called, asking if he could drive over to move a Chewy package for an elderly, disabled woman so she could get her pet supplies that had been delivered. Really so amazing! I am impressed. He has a calm, unruffled voice and tone that was soothing to even me, which I know has to be great for the furbabies he helps, too!

Had a fantastic 30 minute phone consultation that I came away from with a multitude of tips and drills that I can use to help improve and change the behavior of my pup with. Thank you sir!

Good story here I'm a trainer too. Called Dwayne bc I am at a wall with my adopted boy. Sam, he's 5 I think. Never went outside, did #s in the house, lived in a crate for 5 yrs. No training ever. Dwayne pointed out stuff I could change, improve. Sometimes when training, you get bogged down in emotion. Dwayne talked through my problem and I have fixed my thinking. Now, to work in a better direction with Sam. Dwayne called me while on vacation to help me. Dwayne knows his stuff. Good man. Solid information. Call him first and get results. Thx Dwayne.

Dewayne has been a lifesaver for us and our furry family. He's thorough and patient, and has turned out reactive puppy into the kinda dog you can take to a brewery and hang out with together. The results he produced are nothing short of amazing.

Bailey and I had a great time. Dewayne the dog guy is the best. He is very knowledgeable. I appreciate all he does.

Where to begin? I hired Dewayne based on these reviews and they are spot on. He was amazing to work with and I couldn't have had a better experience. He shows patience with both the dog and the person when training. He turned Emmett from an uncontrollable wild one into a well mannered, well behaved and exceptional dog. I can now take him with me to stores, parks and any other dog friendly area and not worry about his behavior. Also, Dewayne's methods were exactly what I had hoped for. The way he worked with Emmett showing him discipline when needed but also love and playfulness as well was spot on. His innate ability to read the dogs body language is amazing. I have recommended Dewayne to many colleagues and friends and will definitely utilize his services anytime I need a trainer. In one word, my training experience was phenomenal!

Stormy graduated today!!! Yay! All thanks to Dewayne The Dog Guy! We had an awesome small group class! Dewayne is a great trainer! My family could not believe what Stormy learned in just a few short weeks. I highly recommend Dewayne! He is PAWSitively the best!!!

Best decision I made for our dog. Dewayne is top notch with his skills, attitude, and approach. Worth every penny. Highly recommend using him if you want a happy well behaved dog. Thanks Dewayne!

I cannot recommend Dewayne enough. A few weeks in and my 6 month old puppy was listening and behaving better than any dog I've ever had. He explains the how and why behind everything, and trains you as much as he trains the dog so that you can apply skills to future issues. Absolutely amazing.

Dewayne did such an amazing job with my 6 month old golden doodle. I now enjoy walks & hikes with him (off leash too). He no longer leads, I lead him and our walks are more enjoyable and less stressful. He doesn’t run off to the road anymore like he used too. I highly recommend Dewayne and I’m so happy Kirby is now part of the Dewayne The Dog Guy family!

Dewayne is the absolute best! We thoroughly enjoyed going through his training program and so did our 4 mo old Aussie! He helped us as a family with commands and positive behavior both on and off leash! Our pup loves showing off her new skills and our kids have so much more confidence working with her. We highly recommend Dewayne the Dog Guy for all your training needs! 🐾

We sent our Cane Corso to Dewayne for board and train…Best decision we could have ever made for our dog (Tebow) and our family. He stayed with Dewayne a bit longer than most because we were out of town for work. It was nice not having to worry if our pup was being properly taken care of while we were gone. Before going to Dewayne we couldn’t go in public without Tebow completely freaking out as if every noise, person, or moving object was out to get him. Now we can go in public and while we’re still working with a little bit of his anxiety in new situations we have commands and have learned ways from Dewayne that allow us to get him to take a breath and relax. We came home to a whole new dog! Dewayne also did a great job teaching us everything we needed to know to be successful in our training with Tebow. Dewayne is still available anytime we get in a spot where we’re unsure if we’re doing the right thing. Basically this guy is amazing!! If you’re unsure, this is your sign to go to Dewayne the Dog Guy!!

Dwayne is amazing!!! Our Lab was with me during two car accidents and he was not willing to get into a vehicle. Dwayne was able to get him in my Jeep within 10 mins!! Dwayne trained me as well on how to handle Jax and was very patient and kind!!

We sent our dog, Goose, to Dewayne due to his running away, bolting out of cars and general behavior issues. Dewayne actually kept our dog for almost two weeks more than we paid for because he wasn’t pleased with how he acted the day he was supposed to come home. Who does that? When Goose did come home, he was a different dog. He listens, heels, stays and places. I feel so much more confident as a dog owner knowing that he’s not going to bolt out of the house and potentially get hurt. I can’t thank Dewayne enough for what he did. He trained our dog and made us feel like family. We finally have a well-behaved dog and it is all due to Dewayne.

I reached out to Dewayne for some advice on how to get my 8 month old puppy to be “a potato” and he responded promptly! He sent me a video tutorial with tips, tricks and actions to get my dog to behave! Even offered to review footage and provide further guidance when needed! Will be using his service and skills again

We have been so impressed worn Dewayne’s skills as a dog trainer. I don’t believe he has met a dog he didn’t believe in, or a challenge he hasn’t been able to quickly address. As a dog owner of a high energy pup having Dewayne for guidance has been life changing.

What an amazing experience from beginning to end! Dewayne is absolutely exceptional. He’s not only a dog whisperer, but he’s also very skilled at communicating with the owners and essentially training us on dog behavior. We did the on and off leash training and Dewayne took extra time throughout the process to ensure we were comfortable with the training tools and approach. He also added additional sessions when we felt our dog needed more time to master certain skills. Our dog is a Great Pyrenees mix and Dewayne taught us a lot about the breed, and took this intro consideration when training so the experience was tailored to our dog’s needs instead of basic, boilerplate training. Dewayne is honest and upfront and has such a delightful sense of humor - we loved working with him. Training takes time and work. Dewayne gave us weekly homework assignments and was very supportive and responsive to our questions outside of class. It’s such a compliment when people comment on how well behaved our dog is, and we always credit it to the training with Dewayne. We highly recommend him!

My doodle Jovi is now 4 years old. When he was a puppy about 6 months old we left him in Dewayne’s care for a little under two weeks for extensive training. The absolute best thing we ever did not only for him but for our family including our three children. He was trained with the E-collar and once we got him back we continued to see Dewayne for follow up visits when necessary. Now when we take him in public everyone comments on his good behavior. He is such a joy and we couldn’t have gotten him to this point without Dewayne. Jovi listens on command not only to my husband but me and the kids as well. Even his groomer and boarder always comment on how amazing he behaves with other dogs. It is an expensive investment, but the way we see it, it pays for itself for many years to come.

Dewayne is the best around!! He boarded both of our dogs last minute over Thanksgiving and it was a wonderful experience! He sent pictures and updates of the dogs while we were gone. Pickup/drop off was seamless. After talking with them you can tell they spent a lot of time with the dogs and took the best care of them! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! ☺️

Dewayne is the absolute BEST! We have 2 dogs that worked with him for different reasons. One was our older lab, Jackson, who just never had any proper on-leash or off-leash training. Within just a couple weeks of working with Dewayne, Jax was heeling off and on leash, coming when called, placing on his bed to settle down, etc. It was amazing how quickly Jax learned from Dewayne! We also have a rescue dog, Rosco, who had some major issues with fear aggression (growling, lunging, snarling, guarding food, etc). We contacted multiple trainers in the area who said they would not be able to help us with his issues, which left us feeling helpless and terrified, not knowing what to do...but then we found Dewayne. Dewayne listened to us and was eager to help. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable with what each individual dog needs. Dewayne was able to muzzle train Rosco, so now he can comfortably and confidently go out on walks around strangers and go to the vet more easily. Dewayne also helped us crate train Rosco, as well as doing typical on-leash and off-leash training with him--and with us, because we had a lot to learn too! Even after our training program was over, Dewayne continued to help us with any issue that arose, and continues to be an awesome support system even after he moved away from our area. Both our dogs are happier and more confident after training with Dewayne...especially Rosco-- It's like a night/day difference with him, and all for the better. I have only great things to say about Dewayne, and he is the one I recommend to anyone looking for a dog trainer. Whether it's a complicated aggressive dog issue like we faced or just some proper off/on leash training, Dewayne is the guy! He goes above and beyond and has your back the throughout the entire process.

Dewayne is definitely “the dog guy”. We have two crazy Aussie doodles that I never thought we would be able to control. Now they are the best dogs ever! Thank you Dewayne!

So grateful for Dewayne for the time he spent and patience he had working with Khali and I. He worked with us on how to be a confident dog and dog owner. The skills he gave us are still used on a daily basis. Not even going to lie, sometimes when I want to get Khalis attention for fun I’ll say “we’re going to trainer Dewayne” and she immediately sits and looks up at me 😂

Dewayne went above and beyond for me and my dog Lexi. To this day she still listen to commands he taught her. She is a great retriever and it’s all thanks to him. I would recommend this guy for any and all if your dog training needs whether it’s just simple obedience or more advanced training Dewayne is the man for the job!

Dewayne changed our family forever with Leo our first German Shepard. We didn’t know what to expect from Leo or a trainer. Let me tell you my experience and expectations were blown away. Not only were we welcomed into Dewaynes family he made multiple house calls to our blended modern family. Dewayne is a gentle soul who taught our kids and this anxiety ridden mom just how to bond with Leo. He is amazing and has always been there for us with any questions we have as we navigate through our crazy doggie questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and calming to both myself and Leo. We all are so grateful for his kindness and patience and especially his gift to train a gentle giant with 5 simple commands. He is awesome 👏 and best around and highly recommend!!!

Dewayne worked miracles for our Gunner! He was an anxious, aggressive, wild puppy. And WE had no idea how to care for him. We were at a breaking point and about to re-home him when we found Dewayne. One of our biggest fears was having him work with a trainer that would totally break his spirit and we would get back this timid, submissive dog. We loved Gunner and his spirit but we needed to be able to control him so that he and we could enjoy each other. Gunner spent 3 weeks working with Dewayne full time. When we picked him up at the end of the 3 weeks, Gunner was almost like a new dog. He was still very much the feisty puppy we left, but he was now responsive to commands and generally a happier dog. Dewayne worked with him to break his will but left every bit of his wonderful spirit in place. Then it was our turn- Dewayne was patient with us as we learned how to care for Gunner’s new role in house and meet his needs so that he could continue with his training. We now have a wonderful, responsive, spirited dog that is able to enjoy traveling with us and going on lots of adventures. We only stopped training with Dewayne because he moved out of our area. We can’t recommend him enough:)

Dewayne has been a wonderful trainer, I would not be able to walk my 2 very large dogs without his training. He is very patient yet firm. Let’s be honest the most difficult part is probably training the owner! I have really enjoyed doing off leash training for both my boys with Dewayne, you can tell he has a genuine love for dogs and is naturally gifted in training them.

Dewayne the Dog Guy is an amazing trainer. He taught Archie, our mini schnauzer, through on and off leash training. Unsurprisingly, I require - then & now - way more training than Archie! Dewayne is patient, kind and has an intuitive knowledge of dogs’ nature and habits. He listened to what we wanted for Archie, encouraged us to contact him any time with questions or send videos of techniques we were working on that weren’t going as planned so he could advise us between training sessions. We know we will be a forever member of Dewaynes’ Dog Guy family. I am confident we can count on his services and support throughout Archie’s life. I highly recommend his training services and will definitely rely on him to teach Archie’s sister when she arrives. Our results were worth every penny spent and then some. Archie is happy and chill and we are thrilled. Thank you Dewayne!

We have had two dogs trained by Dewayne The Dog Guy. The training was incredible and has allowed them to spend lots of time with us on various adventures because of how well behaved they have become. I recommend Dewayne The Dog Guy for anyone who wants to have a dog trained well.

Just want to say a few grateful words about the fantastic experience I had with Dewayne! He was recommended to us by a friend, and I couldn’t be happier we reached out to him for help training our pup! He’s pretty big and used to drag me along when I’d take him on walks. We can now go on/off leash around people and other animals with no problems at all, which was our main goal. He is now an all around super well behaved dog, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience!

Dewayne is awesome!!!! He helped me train my dog Buffett to be even more awesome than he already was!! Thanks Dewayne!!!

We've had a few different trainers over the years, but Dewayne has been the best... Kezia absolutely loves him, she learned quickly. Dewayne has more than just experience, he has love for dogs. He trains with such ease and patience it's impressive. Over the 10 weeks not only did he train he also taught us how. From the moment we met him, he was very well liked. We had a lot of fun and not only did we gain a trainer but we also gained a friend.. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to train your 🐕. Dewayne is only a call away if we ever have questions or concerns... We are extremely pleased with Dewayne...

I’ve seen Dewayne first hand transform many dogs into amazing family members. As a client and a friend I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for my dog needs!
