Did you just bring home a furry new bundle of joy? Or maybe you’ve been putting off teaching your ornery dog how to behave. Sure, you can enroll your dog in classes at places like Petco’s Puppy Classes or a national training chain like Bark Busters, but sometimes they lack that personal touch. These dog trainers in and around Columbus have experience training dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. So rather than buying another new pair of shoes because Fido ate your last pair, contact one of these trainers. Maybe once he is done with his schooling, Fido will have learned to bring you your shoes instead of destroying them.

National K-9 Learning Center
National K-9 has been serving dog-owners across central Ohio since 1975. My childhood dog, a black lab named Duke, went to obedience training National K-9 when he was a puppy. Becky, the Columbus Navigator mascot returned from her stay at National K-9 in 2017 a very well-behaved young lady. With training programs ranging from puppy preschool to an overnight program, your doggo is sure to come home with a ton of new tricks.National K-9 Learning Center

Lead the Way K9 Training
“Brittany Pederson is the Co-Owner and Trainer of Lead the Way K9 Training. As far back as she can remember she has always had a strong passion for working with dogs. Brittany truly feels blessed to be training dogs every day, and making a difference not only in dogs’ lives but most importantly the families. Our Philosophy at Lead the Way K9 Training is a balanced approach. We know every dog is different, so we treat each dog as an individual, and with tons of care. Brittany focuses on creating relationships with humans and dogs by utilizing basic foundational obedience, leadership, and state of mind exercises. Behavior problems often times develop from a lack of structure and leadership within the dog’s home. If we focus on the daily foundational exercises, structure, balance, accountability, along with corrections for behaviors we don’t like, and rewards for things we do, most bad behaviors will become a thing of the past. No matter what the challenge is, we will tackle your dog’s issues head on and make a difference in both your lives,” said a representative of Lead the Way,” said Josh Peterson, co-owner of Lead the Way.
