Holistic Dog Training and Owner Education. Our owner and lead trainer holds a degree in veterinarian medicine with a specialization in ethology (U.N.A.M.), which is the study of animal behavior. We have over 25+ years of experience working thousands of dogs, big and small! We train pets, service, and protection dogs. Our method, no matter the purpose of the training, begins with channeling your dog's natural instincts to build an unbreakable bond. From there you can teach a dog to do just about anything and do it with heart and soul!

Ali and I are so blessed to have found Yvan and Kimberlee. When we first met, I had Ali for 4 months and while I fed and took care of him we had not yet established a bond. Yvan and Kimberlee knew Ali and couldn’t have been more excited to reconnect with him and help us become a team. We started with Step Zero and helping me to understand the power of using his food as a training tool. Seeing their love for Ali and passion for the dogs and sport allowed me to trust the process. I was confident in knowing that even when I was guided that it was ok to not feed Ali on a bad training day, this is ok, and part of the process. It only made the next training session that much better. It undeniably works and Ali and I have created an unbreakable bond. I never questioned Yvan, the process, or the speed in which we have moved through our training. Yvan as always tailored our training specifically for Ali and I. Ali and I have gained great confidence in one another with our obedience work together which has built a solid foundation to continue our training to include bite work and French Ring sport. We are so grateful for Yvan and Kimberlee they are not just our trainers they have welcomed us as if we were family.

Yvan and Kimberlee helped us with our dog, Loki, a mini doodle! Yvan’s background in veterinarian medicine and animal psychology made us feel comfortable in the process. Today, when ever we have questions, they always answer our texts and calls! Our puppy is the light of our lives! Thank you for helping us understand him!

I’m so grateful for Bambino and the guidance he’s given me and my 6 month old Mal. His patience and calm energy have already made such a difference, even though we’re still early in the process☺️. We have a long way to go, but I’ve learned so much already and can’t wait to see Duchess reach her full potential with his help! Huge thank you to his wife, Kim, as well for being so welcoming and supportive throughout this journey🫶🏼💪🏼💪🏼

We have been on a very long journey with our 4 year old Belgian Malinois. She struggled with reactive behavior to cars, dogs and pretty much anyone who got close to my wife. Despite boarding her twice with two different trainers, including a failed attempt with an E-collar, we couldn’t get past it. Until we found Down Right Dog Training.
Yvan and Kimberlee saved us! We went from not being able to walk our dog at all near streets to long walks on busy roads. It is night and day and getting better all the time.
We have even used the techniques we learned on our other dog with excellent results.
Very highly recommend!! Excellent results!

[Down Right Dog Training ] highly enough! They truly go above and beyond in transforming the lives of countless dogs, especially the 2 rescue dogs Joey & Hercules who have suffered years of neglect and abuse. Their dedication to building confidence in those dogs was inspiring, and the results speak for themselves.
The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to explain every aspect of dog behavior in a clear, detailed manner. Their patience and personalized approach ensure that both dogs and their humans feel supported every step of the way. Watching the transformation of these dogs into happy, confident companions is nothing short of amazing.
If you’re looking for trainers who are passionate, skilled, and deeply committed to the well-being of every dog they work with, this is the place to go. Thank you for all that you do!
