Caribbean Dog Training & K9 Academy

Dean is a great trainer, helper, and decoy. His years of experience shows through his work and results. My two young Rottweilers have come a long way since working with Dean in his Personal Protection program. He is observant of my dogs, understands drive channeling, and someone I trust for my dogs progression. I plan on being a long term client due to his quality work and being an all around guy.

Trained two Belgian Mal's with Dean over a two year period. He is by far the best trainer I've ever been around. He not only trains your dog he trains you how to be a better dog owner in the process. If you need obedience training, are having behavior issues, want to get into dog sports, or train a personal protection dog... He is the guy!

I can’t recommend Dean Rivera’s training programs enough. We first went through his basic obedience program, which was fantastic, and then continued into his personal protection dog program. The results have been incredible—our dog is not only well-behaved but also confident and protective when it matters most. The training has already paid off multiple times, but the most significant was when two people attempted to assault my wife and me. Thanks to our dog’s training, the situation was quickly deterred, and nothing further happened. It’s hard to put a price on that kind of security and peace of mind. Dean is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs and their owners. If you’re looking for serious, effective training, this is the place to go.

Dean was a huge help with my pit. He not only teaches the dog discipline but teaches you how to be a better handler in the process. He made things simple and easy to grasp the process and end goal of having control of your animal

Dean did a great job with our rottweiler Echo! We went for basic obedience and ended up having him train Echo for personal protection. The dog was well balanced in his protection and family obedience. Couldn't have asked for more. Training was very easy and straightforward and Dean makes it very easy to accomplish. Whether you're looking for obedience or protection training, you are definitely in the right hands and we are very grateful to Dean and his services!
