Who We Are
Working Dogs & Whiskey was built on passion, friendship, and a shared respect for the craft of dog training.
Desean and Jon are two dog training professionals whose paths crossed through work. At the time, Jon was running a dog training facility, and Desean new to the area and already experienced in working dogs stopped by out of curiosity and his love for training. That simple encounter quickly turned into a friendship rooted in mutual respect and a shared drive to grow, learn, and help others.
Their love for dog training didn’t just fuel their friendship it pushed them to do more. Together, they decided to step into unfamiliar territory and start a podcast. Neither of them had experience in podcasting, production, or content creation, but the passion outweighed the uncertainty. The early days weren’t perfect far from it but they stayed consistent, learned as they went, and never lost sight of their purpose.
The Working Dogs & Whiskey Podcast was created to spread dog training awareness, share real-world experience, offer honest insights, and highlight others who share the same passion for working dogs. From day one, the goal has been simple: real conversations, real experience, and a platform for learning together.
Desean brings over 7 years of military working dog training experience and currently owns and operates his own dog training company in San Antonio, Texas, where he continues to serve his community and promote responsible dog training.
Jon brings over 7 years of experience in the dog training field, having run a training facility and worked extensively with police K9s. He now owns and operates his own business in Florence, South Carolina, where he remains committed to educating and supporting his community through dog training.
Working Dogs & Whiskey is more than a podcast.
It’s a reflection of the work, the lessons, the community, and the conversations that happen when the day is done.
