Welcome to Ivy Vine Canine!

How We Work

Determine which service best suits your team.

1

Are you looking to teach a new skill or better understand your dog’s behavior and cues? Handler Coaching is a great fit. Want to build distance, duration, distraction, or diversity into an existing skill, or fit more training into a busy schedule? Trainer-Led sessions are the way to go. Not sure which service is right for you? Contact us, we’re happy to help!

Add your service to the cart and check out.

Visit our services page and add your next session to your cart. Trainer-Led sessions are one-on-one between your dog and our trainer, with no handlers present. Handler Coaching sessions include you and any family you may want to bring along.

We will reach out in 1-3 business days to schedule your session.

3

We keep scheduling easy and personal by connecting with you directly — no automated booking. Before your first session, please fill out the new client form (attached to your receipt) so our lead trainer can come prepared and make the most of your time together.

Meet with our lead trainer at home or in public, learning while having fun!

Our private training takes place in your home or out in the real world, because context matters when it comes to your dog’s learning. Through working in the environments where your dog actually lives and interacts, we can build skills that are reliable, practical, and easier to carry into everyday life.

  • "Devin is an amazing trainer. Whiskey loved her and learned so much from her. I highly recommend her as a dog trainer to anyone who is looking for one. Whiskey grew so much from her beginner and intermediate classes."

    — Amanda & Whiskey

  • "Devin was a wonderful trainer for my rescue pup. She helped us work through our dog’s anxiety and increase her confidence (and mine)! She was patient and very knowledgeable about strategies we could try."

    — Melissa & Mocha

  • "Devin was a great trainer for our puppy Judy! She helped Judy grow significantly in a short period of time. Devin explained the exercises in training well, which helped us continue at home. Would definitely recommend!"

    — Haley & Judy

  • "Devin is a wonderful trainer. I took my adopted Great Dane to her and my dog is very reactive. She was great with her and myself. I was so upset and embarrassed that I’m literally crying and Devin stayed with me to assure me everything was going to be ok. I’m looking forward to working with her again!"

    — Moonie’s Handler

  • "Devin is so great to work with. She is so patient and really puts the time in to make the dogs she trains as confident and happy as they can be… I could not have asked for a better experience, it literally brings tears to my eyes. So grateful for the time and patience she dedicated to my sweet adult rescue dog who might’ve been easier to give up on."

    — Cayce & Ollie

  • "My partner and I fostered (then adopted) this 7 year old Belgian Malinois a few months ago. As far as we knew he had zero obedience training prior. Luckily we came across Devin. Her gentle supportive manners made her an immediate hit with TinTin and with us! Devin seems to sense how much we can focus on commands and then move on - sometimes to praise and hugs! We love Devin and will use her to continue training our best friend! Check her out, you won't be disappointed!"

    — Paul & TinTin

  • "Devin is the bomb. I love how she can read our Malinois TinTin even though we just got him from a rescue organization with no known history. She is very calm, careful, and will make sure your dog will succeed in obedience. Take her classes, she rocks!"

    — Catherine & TinTin

  • "She is the most passionate trainer I’ve ever met. Her love for what she does shows in every aspect of training. Services are affordable and well worth the money. GREAT JOB!!!!!!! I will definitely be using her services again."

    — Kevin & Mocha

  • "We attended puppy training classes with Devin and had an amazing time! She is very knowledgeable and can clearly communicate training principles with both owners and their animals. Our dog loves Devin and we couldn’t recommend her more!"

    — Katie & Finn

  • "Devin is an exceptional dog trainer and really takes the time to know you and your pup. She is always prepared with resources and ideas to try in every session. She really listens to your training concerns and helps come up with creative ways to train your dog. My dog Charlie has always dealt with reactivity and he rarely trusts anyone. From the first meeting Charlie trusted Devin and this made training so much more manageable. I will always recommend Devin!"

    — Hannah & Charlie

  • "Devin is one of those people who is meant to do their job. She not only has a way with dogs but her patience and clear explanations make training very practical for the human side of dog training. My dog was totally in love with her, and her praise and encouragement for both of us gave me the confidence I was looking for."

    — Caroline & Thorfinn

  • "Devin has been amazing to work with! She takes the time to get to know you and your fur baby. My staffy, Tater, is quite the handful… We still have our work to get through the puppy stage, but we can now walk on a loose leash (with some distractions), and Tater is quick to show off his obedience tricks when asked. It has been wonderful knowing that I can reach out to Devin for support, advice, and ideas to maximize the outcomes of our efforts."

    — Stacy & Potato

  • "We trained with Devin and loved how she worked with Teddy. Devin was able to get Teddy to come out of his shell and we all learned a lot."

    — Dan, Krista, & Teddy
