Our Team
Devin Bill (CPDT-KA)
Founder & Lead Trainer
Devin is the professional trainer behind Ivy Vine Canine. A graduate of North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Devin has worked professionally as a dog trainer since 2024, though her passion for dog training began as a personal hobby in 2020.
As a disabled handler, Devin brings a unique perspective to dog training, emphasizing the importance of clear communication, trust, and adaptability in every working relationship. This approach informs all aspects of training, whether working with family pets, working teams, or handlers seeking to build confidence and reliability with their dogs.
In addition to professional training, Devin volunteers with organizations serving people with disabilities. Committed to creating partnerships that benefit both dogs and humans, Devin focuses on training that is designed to endure.
