“Devi has been training our trauma dogs from Korea for over 3 years now and not only is she skilled and one of the best trainers in her profession, her ability to connect with the dog and adopter makes her stand out and shine in a city where so many trainers just want to take clients’ money with no results. Devi is communicative, responsive and kind. Her knowledge of shaping behaviors, bringing out play and dog psychology has proven results. Thank you Devi for your commitment to helping dogs and their humans!

"Devi was so kind and patient with my *extremely* reactive rescue dog. My pup was a shelter dog who came from Kentucky straight to a busy area of Brooklyn, and it was extremely overwhelming for her (and me). Devi taught me a ton of management skills to make walking around the city less stressful for me and Miso, and she taught me so much about dog behavior and body language. We’ve since moved out of the city, but the foundations Devi helped us set made Miso into the happy, confident, agility dog she is today.”

“Anyone looking for a dog trainer should definitely reach out to Devi. We had her as a trainer for our rescue pup, Kefla, who we adopted at 6 years old and was very fearful and unmotivated. Devi helped us learn how to communicate with Kefla and build her confidence. I had experience with rescue dogs but with Devi’s help we were able to understand Kefla even better. She’s a completely different dog now and it’s thanks to the foundation Devi helped us build with her. Devi was always understanding, polite, calm and excited to work with us. Thanks so much for everything, Devi!”

“Devi is the best dog trainer we've worked with hands down. Her training straight up works. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge, she teaches concepts clearly, she's empathetic, and she's a blast to train with. And she gives you follow up resources to review post-lesson. Our dog is obsessed with her. We've seen big time improvements since training with Devi and recommend her to anyone / everyone.”

“Devi is kind, patient, and really took the time to get to know our little guy (who’s not food motivated) and provide us with training tips that works for him. He was a very nervous rescue and has made so much progress with us under Devi’s guidance! He is a happy pup and we couldn’t have done it without Devi.”

“Devi is so easy to work with. Our Rottie, Gracie, liked her immediately! Devi is very calm in her training and sends lots of great notes to keep for ongoing reference, as a reminder for working with our Gracie. I would highly recommend her!”

“We brought our puppy home and felt overwhelmed and stressed and exhausted, and a week later we were so grateful to have Devi helping us. She helped us become confident puppy parents. It is really the humans who need the training to understand dog behavior, and the dog needs the validation and reinforcement. Devi broke down training techniques for us to make learning accessible, even when we felt overwhelmed. She would explain things that felt obvious after the explanation, but not something I had known about or thought of, hence why she is the expert. We would complain about behavior or challenges we were having, and Devi would say “oh let’s learn __” and she would save us. We are thankful for our time with Devi before she moved and so grateful our minigoldendoodle can ring a potty bell without misusing it, utilize his place, and recall at the dog park. Thank you, Devi!!”
