3 Best Dog Training in Columbus, OH

Mitch and his team, as well as his wife, Zuzana, work hard to maintain an incredible facility as well as top of the line training programs! The property, kennels, and common areas are always impeccably clean, and their services speak for themselves in the many dogs that have come out of their program. We have a Christian K-9-trained protection/working dog that is the perfect fit for our family. Her socialization, technical training, and pre-exposure to the specifics of our lifestyle have allowed her to be the perfect barn dog, fearless protector, and household companion. Christian is the only place we will take her for boarding or maintenance training. Luci is treated like family and royalty from the minute she arrives. It’s a 10/10 experience.

I have 2 dogs with 1000% different temperaments. No one wanted anything to do with them because of their breeds, but not the crew at Christian K-9. I never thought I would be able to easily walk either one of them, much less enjoy walking them! I love this group of people so much and so do my pups! I’ve never felt better about leaving them with anyone!

I picked up my girl today and it is night and day difference. I enrolled her in the 15 day program to work on her pulling and barking/aggression. Dean and Mitchell did an amazing job and I’m so thankful!! Great communication and updates while she was there, as well.

I brought my two feisty stubborn 6-month-old terriers to the boarding training program, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The program helped them develop a strong foundation in obedience and behavior, and they’re so much calmer and easier to handle now. I’ve already received compliments from people about how well-behaved they are. Paige and her team were amazing throughout the process. They didn’t just train my dogs. They made sure I was equipped to continue the training at home. After the boarding program, they provided follow-up training sessions to help transition the authority from them to me, which made a huge difference. They also gave practical advice on how to reinforce the training and adapt it as the puppies grow as well as invaluable advice on other behaviors. If you’re looking for professional, effective, and supportive training, I can’t recommend this team enough. They truly care about the dogs and their owners, and it shows in everything they do.

We have been fortunate to board our dog with APK9 for the past ~4 years and could not be more grateful for all the gracious care Paige, Jordan, and the team have provided our doggy. They have been incredibly accommodating, great communication, and provide a fun, relaxing, and safe atmosphere for our dog. We would recommend APK9 to any of our friends with dogs and are grateful for all their help.

Our dog has been boarding with APK9 since she was a puppy! We feel so grateful to have found somewhere that we trust completely and we love that she loves it, too! It brings us amazing peace of mind to know that she is having fun and is so well cared for while we are traveling. 100% recommend!
