Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I have been training dogs since 2011 and have earned multiple certifications within that time. I started at PetSmart and broke away in 2014 once I hit the ceiling there. I have a soft spot for Dobermans and Belgians. I love teaching group classes and lately I've been learning the sport of Rally. My goal is to always learn and grow as a dog trainer and behavior consultant!

Certifications:

CDBC, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KSA, IAABC-ADT, Fear Free Certified Professional

Dog training services include

  • Aggressive dog training
  • Reactive dog training
  • In home training
  • Puppy training

More info about Devin Zimmer's dog training:

I offer group classes, private lessons, and day training at Bluegrass Dog Training as well as behavior consultations at PetVet365.

Behavioral issue focus:

Aggression, reactivity, fear based behaviors, leash pulling, jumping, barking, potty training, and more

Dog training methods:

I rely on positive reinforcement and follow LIMA principles. Behavior modification plans and training plans are made if appropriate/needed. Registration for group and private lessons can be made at Bluegrassdogtraining.com. Behavior consult inquiries can contact PetVet365.

Why I became a dog trainer:

The same reason we all have, because we love dogs and we want to see their lives with their owners improve.

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

I love seeing the light bulb go off for both the dogs and the humans! When everything clicks, that's why I do what I do.

My #1 dog training tip:

Look for five good things your dog does a day organically (so because they made a good decision, not because you told them to) and reward your dog with a treat (or toy or very enthusiastic praise).
