The Dog Pound family speaks.

“Dog Pound Academy has given my daughter confidence and Dyron is an incredible coach to these kids. He is hands on, tough, finds the right traits in each kid and works on every skill for that athlete, and most importantly he is proud of each athlete he interacts with. We are super happy with what our daughter is getting from her sessions with him. We are looking forward to a great basketball season!”

“Dog Pound Academy provides excellent basketball training and development. My stepdaughter has been training here, and we have seen tremendous improvement not only in her skills on the court but also in her overall confidence and work ethic. Coach Dyron is dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential. He creates a disciplined yet encouraging environment where players are challenged to push themselves, stay focused, and grow both as athletes and individuals. His commitment to teaching fundamentals, combined with his passion for the game, sets Dog Pound Academy apart from other programs. We are very impressed with the professionalism, structure, and positive results we have experienced. I highly recommend Dog Pound Academy to any player who is serious about improving their game and developing strong character along the way.”

“Coach Dyron is a wonderful trainer. He works one on one with his athletes. He checks in on their progress. His athletes are pushed hard every session. Dyron builds not only their skill but their confidence also. I highly recommend his services to any athletes wanting to improve their skill.”

His ability to inspire and push your child to reach their full potential, both on and off the court, is unmatched. Coach Dyron created an environment my athlete feels supported, challenged, and motivated to grow as player and individuals.”

“My daughter looks forward to training with Coach Black every week. There are people who can do but can't coach. There are people who can coach but can't do. Then there are rare people like Coach Black who can do both. It's awesome having someone who has played at the level he has and is able to explain and demonstrate how to get it done! I have had a lot of parents compliment how fast my daughter has improved in a short time especially with her dribbling. Her overall understanding of the game has leveled up also. He's not only a great instructor when he's on the clock, he constantly calls and texts us to check on how our daughter is doing before, during, and after the games. He has been like a new family member to us! I can't recommend this man enough!! Thank you Coach Black!”

“Only a few sessions in and I can already see the change in confidence and technique. If this much was possible in 3 workouts, I can't imagine how she's going to be playing 6 months from now! Coach Black cares about the kids he's working with both on and off the court, which is priceless in a busy world. I highly recommend him if you have a child who wants to improve their game.”

“My son has already learned so much from Dyron in just a few sessions. He's handling the ball better and has more confidence thanks to Dyron's motivational spirit. Thank you Dyron!”

“Dyron is dedicated to the development and growth of his trainees. Dyron Anderson go above and beyond to ensure the success of his trainees/players. I highly recommend this academy if you're for looking for growth and change in your players both on and off the court. I have seen so much growth in my niece and I am excited to see how well she performs in this upcoming season. Thanks Dogg Academy!!”

“Dyron has been working with Rush for 3 months now and has been great. His attention to detail and love for the game really rubs off on his players. His training has made a huge difference in Rush as a complete athlete. I highly recommend the training program for any basketball player who truly wants to improve.”

“So his high school basketball has ended for this year but his desire is strengthened to become a better player! Thank you, Dyron, for helping Tyler turn the corner and go after his dream. With your help and encouragement, he has made tremendous improvements in his game both on the court and off the court. I see how much he respects you and your coaching. Thank you for showing up at the games with your pep talks and words of encouragement and consolation. Keeping God in your program insures a better outcome. Keep doing what you do for these young players as they pursue their dreams.”

“Dyron is such an effective trainer because he understands that the needs of each player are different and that the training and motivation must be tailored specific to each individual and their game. He has the professional experience and knowledge to train players at the highest level and demands EVERYTHING they have to give him. In addition to the elite level training he provides, his concern and care for the overall well being and growth of his players is what sets him apart from other trainers. Keeping in regular contact and supporting his players outside of the trainings, Dyron provides more than just drills and shooting...he ensures the overall development of the player at the emotional, mental and physical levels. That is what makes him an Elite Trainer. Whether it is for your child to just get better, to make the school team or to have a chance to play college basketball, Dyron is the guy that can prepare them and teach them what is needed to be successful.”

“The Definition of a true motivator and mentor to his players. Not only train my kids, but coaches them to push to reach their full potential.

“Highly recommended! Coach Anderson has always gone above and beyond to make sure his players understand the game. He's very knowledgeable of the game and definitely has love for all of his kids. Me and my daughter absolutely love him!”

“Coach is very attentive to what my son's individual needs are and he focuses on his weaknesses and his strengths. He explains why each skill that they work on will help my son's game. He is also patient to answer any questions that my son may have during the training session. He has been a joy to work with! Thank you Coach! We appreciate you!”

“Coach Anderson is very knowledgeable about the sport pushes and challenges my daughter to be the best. If you want your kid performing at their best you won't be disappointed investing in him. He genuinely cares about your kid more than just training.”

“I would highly recommend Dyron as a trainer. My daughter Marley has been training with Dyron for over a year now. Here are a few of my honest observations: 1) He knows how to get the MOST out of his players. The workouts are hard and challenging because he puts a strong emphasis on conditioning. He believes the player has to be in shape to stay on the court. I've noticed my daughter's speed, quickness and athleticism greatly improve. 2) He really does check in with his players consistently. Whether it be a simple text or showing up to their games, they will know he cares. Dyron goes above and beyond. 3) He's honest with his players. He holds them accountable. Don't expect him to tell your athlete what they want to hear, he will tell them what they NEED to hear...the TRUTH. His passion for the game and self improvement shows in everything he does. We have been blessed to have him as trainer and friend.”

“Coach Anderson pushes athletes to make them reach their full potential- which is beyond what they thought they could do! Great Trainer!”

“Love the way he goes about his Business. Passionate and cares for the development of the kids.”

“He's a great trainer & goes above and beyond for his players”

“We have loved training with Dog Pound Academy! Coach D is high energy and strives to push our son to his fullest potential. He truly believes in my son and encourages him relentlessly. Coach D has become more a part of our family than just a coach.”

“Coach D has a passion for the game of basketball & a passion to train his players to push themselves to be better every day, on & off the court! He challenges each of his players to improve on their strengths & weaknesses. Coach D has helped my son become more aggressive on defense & help build confidence in his offensive game.

I recommend Dyron Anderson and Dog Pound Academy because I have known Dyron Anderson since childhood for his Integrity, work ethic, commitment to excellence, and more importantly his strong Faith... Dyron not only has transformed his own game but has now for years been developing and tutoring student athletes as well at a high standard and with the upmost integrity... The quality needed on and off the court you need in a trainer, Dyron possesses plus more... I have complete faith in Dog Pound Academy and it's results are speaking for themselves...”

“Coach Anderson is a rare find! He knows how to push his players to bring out the BEST in them. His training goes beyond just the game by teaching them discipline, hard work, and values. He is a Coach that cares about all of it, the whole player and not just what they can or can not do. Go get the DPA experience, you won't be disappointed!”

“Coach D is a premiere trainer and someone that I recommend without hesitation. My 9 year old daughter Lillie increased her conditioning and skill level dramatically working with Dyron over the course of a couple of months. He's hard working, professional, talented and motivated - and beyond that he cares about the students and families he is working with. Coach consistently reaches out to check in on Lillie, her grades, her home life and our family. If you're looking for a trainer or considering Coach Dyron - do it!”

“If you want to work with someone who's professional, proficient, and structured...then this is the coach for you. He has a dedication that is definitely unmatched!!”

“Coach Dyron Anderson has coached our son for a few months and it has made his game step up to a higher level. He has improved confidence in his game and in taking the shot. His agility has improved. He loves the practice even with the difficulty. But beyond basketball, Coach Dyron is a mentor who cares so much for his students. He pushes them to excel to their best, the same as he pushes himself. He also goes to many of the area games. We are fortunate to have his talent in our area for coaching our kids.”

“I can not say enough good things about coach Anderson. I really wish our son had started working with him sooner. After suffering an injury last season our son decided to take a break from AAU and focus on training. I think he is coming back this season even better than before thanks to training with coach.”

“Dyron his is a real stand out guy... He's excellent player/coach he understands the game on all levels and is very good with his students/clients.. I met Dyron while I was playing at UTTYLER.. Our Louisiana connection brought us together and we've been tight every since.. When I met him I made a brudda for life... So if your looking at getting your kids skills right for the upcoming season you've came to the right place”

“Coach is simply amazing!!! I can not say enough about him!! We had coach Anderson work one on one with our high schooler that's on the varsity football team and turned our boy into a game changer. The way coach treats his people is second to none. Days at the gym, Days at the local fields and even came to our house and trained. He will go to no end to help you achieve what you want!!! This man is a great mentor, athlete and a true inspiration to sports. To simply say we could not ask for a better trainer would not be anywhere near enough to say. If you want the best this is it!!! Thank you coach!!!”

“Watched him trained kids for a while and he is the best in the business a true legend in the making and he is great guy and the most supportive guy knows the knowledge.”

“Coach Dyron was very helpful with my two sons whom are 7yrs old and 9yrs old helping them with they're fundamentals of basketball teaching them and being patient with them. Thanks alot Coach my boys are very committed and work hard on there fundamentals from the drills you taught them!!!”

“Coach D started working with my daughter a few months ago, he's great with her, she's a little shy and he has been patient while also encouraging her and expecting her to show up and work hard. She has grown leaps and bounds under his direction! Basketball coaches are slim pickens around here and he's definitely a gem to this area and these kiddos! 10000% recommend.”

“I would highly recommend The Dog Pound Training Academy. I have watched Dyron ( my son), follow his dreams. This Humble, Intelligent, Respectable and God fearing young man is a great mentor for the younger generation. He's always encouraging and motivating others to follow their dreams, and not to let anyone or anything stop them from accomplishing their life goals.”

“The best trainer in Tyler, Tx. Make sure you get with my guy he will get you right! Major experience in the game”

“Not only is Dyron chasing and following his dreams, he's still finding time to train and mentor the youth as well Much respect !!!”

“Dyron Anderson is a great coach. He pushes kids to do their best while remaining positive. He's a dedicated coach and you can tell he really wants his students to succeed in all that they do, not just basketball. Ten out of ten recommend!!”

“I highly recommend Dyron Anderson because he is passionate about coaching, leading by example and helping his players reach their goal to become the best!”

“Coach Anderson has been so amazing with both of my boys. He has come to games and been a true mentor for them. I can't say enough good things about Coach! He has truly been a blessing in our lives. He's family”

“I have known Dyron Anderson for several years. He is passionate about coaching and helping his players reach their full potential and become the best version of themselves. There are very few opportunities in East Texas where you can have personal coaching from a professional basketball player. I highly recommend him!”

“Coach Anderson is such a great trainer for these kids. He wants to see them grow in their confidence as much as in their skills. My daughter has truly enjoyed her sessions with him and we are excited to continue to watch her grow.”

“Coach Dyron is a great person, mentor, and coach! He will push your kids to work harder than they ever have. He truly cares about his players and is so passionate about the game. Both of my kids look forward to working with him each week. Both have seen improvement in just a few months of work.”

“From day one, Coach Anderson has been encouraging, supportive, and genuinely committed to my daughter's growth—not just as a basketball player, but as a person. We were searching for someone who could help her develop her basketball skills while also helping her overcome the mental barriers and self-doubt she was struggling with. Coach Anderson has done exactly that. Every training session is focused on building fundamentals and pushing her to become a better player. But what sets him apart is the emphasis he places on confidence, mindset, and believing in yourself. He's helped her realize that the biggest opponent isn't always on the court—sometimes it's the negative thoughts we create in our own minds. What has meant the most to our family is that his support doesn't stop when practice ends. Coach Anderson regularly checks in to see how she's doing, encourages her through challenges, celebrates her progress, and truly cares about her success both on and off the court. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about the person and coach he is. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to be part of Dog Pound Academy. If you're looking for a trainer who develops skill, builds confidence, and genuinely cares about the athletes he coaches, Dog Pound Academy is the place to be. We are beyond grateful for everything Coach Anderson has done!”

“If you want to test your kids limit and get them better sign up. No excuses, no gimmicks, just sweat and hard work in that hot box! Black gets the best out of our daughter every session. The proof is in the pudding.”

“Coach is passionate about the sport and very enthusiastic about the players he's training!!! He is a great motivator that's willing to help push his players beyond what they feel is possible!!! 10/10 recommend!!!”

“If you're looking for a basketball trainer who truly cares about developing athletes both on and off the court, I can't recommend Coach Black enough. His knowledge of the game is outstanding, and he's incredibly skilled at what he does. He's very vocal during training, communicates clearly, and knows exactly how to push athletes to reach their full potential. We saw real growth in Landens game, including better ball-handling, stronger footwork, improved shooting consistency, and more confidence attacking the basket in games. What sets him apart is that his commitment doesn't stop when the workout ends. He genuinely shows up for the kids outside of training, encouraging and supporting them every step of the way. He brings out the best in every player by building confidence, teaching the fundamentals the right way, and challenging them to be their best. You can see the difference in how athletes carry themselves, make smarter decisions on the court, and compete with more energy and focus. If you want a trainer who invests in your athlete as both a player and a person, this is the one.”

“Coach Black is phenomenal at what he does, not to mention how trusting and encouraging he is. My girls are only 3 sessions in, and you can already see the difference. Dogg Pound is a huge blessing, and our family is truly grateful for his skill, knowledge, and drive for each of his players.”

“One session in and my daughter's confidence already elevated. Coach Black has the knowledge and the skill to take your player to the next level. Can't wait to see the results on the court!”

“You can't go wrong with the Dogg Pound!! The confidence and motivation he gives my daughter is amazing. She loves Basketball but he has made this more powerful for her. I'm so glad we have started her at her age (12). Looking forward to seeing the success these 2 have. God always sends you blessings and he is a blessing for her.”

“Coach Black, owner of Dog Pound Academy, has been a blessing for Selah! The training is top-tier—focused, disciplined, and is truly building her confidence on the court . You can see the growth in her skills, IQ, and work ethic every session. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter trains at Dog Pound Academy, and the improvement we have seen in her game has been incredible. She looks forward to her workouts and training with him. Coach Dyron does an outstanding job of pushing his players to reach their potential while also building their confidence and discipline. The training is challenging, structured, and focused on both skill development and mindset. We are very grateful for the positive impact Dog Pound Academy has had on her, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a serious, professional program for their athlete.”

“We love coach Black! My son has thrived working underneath him. Along with the fundamentals, endurance, and offensive/defensive strategies, he has given my son the confidence and grit he needed! it is evident that Coach Black loves the kids he trains just as much as the game!”

“Dyron is skilled in his craft! He is best at motivating his students and keeping them accountable. As a HS bb coach, what I like most about Dyron is his honesty. If an athlete isn't putting in the work, he's going to let them know. He will also be upfront with parents. Parents won't have to wonder what Dyron thinks because he is an excellent communicator and doesn't always tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. He is to the point now that he can be selective with who he chooses to train because he looks for heart and grind in a kid first, before anything else. So yes... that's Coach Dyron. And he's good.”

“Coach Dyron is not just a coach but mentor to your athlete. My daughter appreciates that he coaches with expectations rather than screaming and putting a player down. We are new to the dog pound but can't wait to see what the future holds !”

“Dyron knows the game and is very attentive to the needs of your athlete. It's a pure 45 min hardcore workout and he doesn't just train your skills, he also helps build confidence for them as well. Shows up for them outside of his gym and makes sure they are doing okay at every sporting event they have.”

“10/10 If you need someone to nurture your athlete's abilities and cultivate a positive relationship with them on and off the court, he's your guy! Progress from Day 1! No help he won't give. No encouragement left unsaid. No talent left behind. Grateful for his resources and friendship.”

“Coach Dyron is exactly what our daughter needed to build her confidence. Within 1 lesson, I could tell that he truly cares about building positive relationships and growing the athlete from every aspect. He is extremely knowledgeable and I feel confident my daughter will become the best version of herself on the court through his leadership.”

“Coach Black takes a personal approach with his players. He takes time and tailors the workouts to the individual needs of each player. He works on every aspect of the game with them, including mental preparedness. 10/10 would recommend to players of all skill levels. Thanks for taking such good care of my girl!”

“Coach Black has been great with our kids. He pushes them, challenges them, but also speaks life and confidence into them. He met them where their skills were at and then just went work with them. He also checks in on them and how their games go. 13/10 would recommend!”

“Coach Dyron is more than just a basketball trainer. Not only will he pull the best out of your hooper on the court, but he'll consistently check in on them off the court to see how they're doing. If your basketball player isn't in shape before they start working with Coach Dyron, they will be after! His training sessions are intense and tailored to what your player needs at that moment. He works with all skill levels and will push your player to be the best they can be both on and off the court.”

“I have 2 daughters ages 11 and 13 who love basketball. They have set some very high standards for themselves and we knew that in order to give them their best chance they would need to do the extra to improve their individual skill sets. On top of doing extra shooting, wight and HITT training, nothing beats having a ball in your hands. Coach Black has met all expectations set so far for each of them, he not only has the ability to provide skill set improvement, but is great at lifting their confidence and motivating them to work as hard as they can. We will be seeing what the future holds, expectations are high!”

“In just a few sessions with Coach Black, we can already see a huge difference in our daughter's confidence and mindset. He pushes her in ways she's never been pushed before, and he's uncovered potential in her that we didn't even know was there. We drive two hours to train with him—and it's 100% worth it. Coach Black truly cares about her, not just as a player, but as a person. He checks in regularly and is invested in helping her have a successful summer and senior year. It's rare to find a coach who brings this level of passion, skill, and heart. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend training with Coach Black. He's a great mentor, and works hard with my daughter on getting her to reach her goals. He checks in with us parents and our daughter regularly in the short time she's been training with him. We look forward to seeing our girl grow and reach her maximum potential with Coach Black.”

“We signed up with Dog Pound during the holidays to help keep the kids engaged and to understand the game. Not only have they improved in ability and knowledge but their respect for others. Dyron has been an excellent coach and we can't wait to continue to see the kids grow with his help.”

“Coach Black has been amazing with our daughter! He is a great trainer but the biggest impact is the continuous support he gives her. He reaches out to her personally to support her in not only basketball but in anything she does! We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to make their kid better!”

“Coach Dyron is the real deal! He not only helps kids improve in sports but life in general. Just what we had been looking for! Don't hesitate to give him a shot and you won't regret it.”

“Coach Anderson is truly amazing. We've seen quick growth in a short amount of time as our son has worked with Coach Anderson. He loves his players, he loves the game and he pushes his players hard to reach their full potential. He's a hands on coach both on and off the court. Our son loves working with him.”

“I know that Dyron works his kids hard and they always get better. As a high school coach he has worked with a few of my players over the years and all of them have gotten better and more confident through the skill work they do with him. The thing I appreciate the most as a high school coach is he wasn't only doing the lessons for $$$ he would show up at games and see the kids play to see the results of the work they have already put in and to start seeing what the next step is. As you invest in him with your athletes future he is investing in them with the extra time away from the lessons to make sure they get better!”

“Coach Anderson is not just a trainer but a mentor and a role model. His dedication, passion, and expertise have made a profound impact on Brice's basketball journey. If you're looking for a top-notch basketball trainer who can elevate your game, look no further than Coach Dyron Anderson”

“Not only is he a pro but he motivates you and off the court while training you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOGG POUND ACADEMY TO TAKE YOUR SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL”

“Coach Dyron "Black" Anderson is one of the most present coaches you will ever meet! He will train your child, check on their grades, pray with them, make every game, & still find time to prep for their next session. He shows up on their good days and bad days no matter how he is feeling. This PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER will share every part of his Basketball IQ with your player to help them grow their individual game. Dog Pound Academy is more than a basketball training program, it's an EXPERIENCE!”
