A societal categorized human misfit providing effective dog training in Boise, ID.

I’m Ashley Devine, the owner and head misfit of Mannered Misfits Dog Training. I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledged Assessed (CPDT-KA) and hold a Fear Free certification in animal shelter and rescue.

Since 2015, I have been working with dogs and educating myself on modern and humane training methods. I spent six years employed at the Idaho Humane Society in Boise, ID.

My #1 goal working with clients and their dogs is to provide effective dog training with an emphasis on safety, empathy and trust. My training is best known as positive reinforcement based utilizing the Humane Hierarchy and Dr Eduardo Fernandez’s new LIFE approach (least inhibitive, functionally effective).

  • "We needed some help with management between our new pup and our 4 year old daughter, plus our older dog. Ashley came over and talked, showed, and had us practice different management techniques and easy redirection tactics we could use. They also helped our daughter understand what to do when the puppy was getting too excited around her. Puppies are a lot of work, but having Ashley’s assistance has helped our family understand one another - humans and dogs better and give our daughter (and my husband and I) tools we can use to have a more manageable relationship all around with our dogs."
