Canine Services by Devin, LLC

Just had an in-home evaluation with Devin and I am so excited to see where he can take us. I have a 5 year Braque du Bourbonnais that needs some "polishing" as he put it and a 9 week old Braque du Bourbonnais that is a raw gem we are hoping to shape into a real beauty. He was so patient with the dogs and it was easy to tell that they really enjoyed his vibe. The custom leash system he makes was gentle yet effective and my adult dog responded in a positive way almost immediately. Has a very good way of explaining and breaking down things to owners as well. I feel like this will make partnering with my dogs in a positive way much easier.

We had an amazing experience working with Devin for our 5-month-old puppy, Remi. From the very first session, it was clear how knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring they are. He took the time to understand Remi’s personality and explained everything in a way that made training feel manageable and positive for us as owners too. We saw noticeable improvements in Remi’s behavior and confidence in a short amount of time, and the techniques we learned are easy to continue using at home. Most importantly, the training was kind, effective, and built a strong foundation for Remi as she grows. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer.

I was a dog trainer many many years ago. I still have two of my original pack that it shows. However, I’ve had some setbacks. Some scares and now some fear instilled in me. Devin understands my situation and came in to help reunite all 6 of my dogs. Also, basic training for the young ones. He’s so easy to work with. So patient. All the dogs instantly adore and respect him. He’s helping me build my confidence again. Highly recommend his services.

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Devin for dog training services, based on our remarkable experience with him and our silver lab, Willow. Willow, who is now 15 months old, recently completed a two-week board and train program with Devin. From the very first evaluation at our home, it was clear that Devin possesses a deep understanding of dog behavior, particularly for breeds like Willow. He immediately set himself apart by getting her to respond, which was no small feat considering Willow had become quite a handful—her behavior was best described as chaotic, which was stressful for both her and our family. Devin reassured us about Willow's potential and, in just one session, we learned key commands that have been invaluable since. The decision to place her in his care for two weeks was tough, but it quickly became clear that we made the right choice. He provided continuous updates, including videos and photos, and even arranged a meeting to do some training together. During her time with Devin, Willow not only received diligent training but also had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs and go on outings, which enriched her experience. Since returning home, Willow initially tried to revert to her old behaviors, but thankfully, Devin didn’t just train her; he also equipped us with the tools to handle her effectively. His techniques have significantly reduced our stress and transformed our interactions with her. I frequently find myself recommending Devin to anyone seeking dog training. He is knowledgeable, professional, and kind—qualities that make him easy to trust, especially for a dog as strong-willed Willow. Devin's training has helped our family transition from chaos to a calmer home, allowing us to enjoy a happier pup who is still full of personality. For anyone seeking dog training, I cannot recommend Devin highly enough. He understands each dog's unique behavior and instinctively incorporates positive methods to address any challenges.
