Professional Dog Training in Columbus, OH

A few months ago we sent Remington to be trained because he pulled SO bad on the leash. I hated walking him. At 75pbs he could be hard to manage. Christian K9 literally gave us a new dog after 15 days and our family will be forever grateful for them giving us a well trained boy. This week he is is hanging out with them again...

I enrolled my German shepherd in the 10 day board and train. He was impossible to walk before. He would pull constantly and run in circles around me and was excited by everything. After the training I can now take him on walks. He walks on my left all the time and sits when he’s supposed to and mostly ignores the distractions...

Before taking our 5 month old Newfie to Christian K-9 he had no manners and we struggled to walk him in the neighborhood. After taking him to Christian K9 he came back a completely different dog. We can now walk him without him pulling us, doesn’t jump on us or guests that come over and has manners in general. We now get...

Walker came home a changed pup! I was so excited to see how obedient he was and how fun it was to have a dog that walked alongside me and didn’t pull. During his stay, I had great communication and updates from Walker’s trainers. The videos and pictures were priceless! Everyone was so helpful and patient with me today as I...

★★★★★

10/10 recommend Mitch! Our dog has been pulling on the leash for 4 years and we couldn’t get it corrected. Within 20 minutes of a training session with Mitch he had Apex walking perfectly. Cannot recommend them enough.

★★★★★

I have a 10 month old Mini Sheepadoodle Ella. She had so much energy and was pulling when I walked her, counter surfing , jumping on people. I was recommended to Christian K-9 Academy by my groomer and I am so so happy she did. Ella was there for the 15 day board & train. Bailey was her trainer and she did an awesome job. I got...

We sent our dog Bane away for 20 days and the transformation is honestly unbelievable. Walks used to be stressful and all over the place, but now he stays right with us and actually makes them enjoyable. You can tell how much time, patience, and care went into his training. Bane is more confident, focused, and well-behaved...

★★★★★

Splash, my aussiedoodle, went to K-9 because I had just moved to campus at Ohio State and he had horrible manners. We had rescued him a year prior and he drug me on a leash, jumped all the time, wouldn’t sit down when I asked him too, and never came when he was called. Now we have 0 trouble with any of that. It was an awesome...

★★★★★

Before taking Baker to Christian K-9 Academy I couldn’t take him anywhere in public because of the pulling and jumping on everything and everyone. Now I can proudly say I can take Baker EVERYWHERE with me and trust that he is going to stay right by my side without a leash. I never thought that Baker would be an off leash dog @...

★★★★★

I cannot express how much gratitude I feel towards this group of trainers!! We tried with multiple other trainers in the past to help my very nervous and reactive dog. We could not go on walks calmly, or be in public, or have people over at the house. After a board and train program with Mitch and Dean, he is a totally...

★★★★★

Hands down worth the money. Dean did such a great job training my dog Murphy. Before going I could never take my dog on walks, let him sit on the porch with me or hang out by the fire pit as he was very reactive and would pull and bark. After getting him back from just the 10 day training he is a completely different dog. First...

★★★★★

We did a 20 day board and train with Christian K9 for our almost 7 year old German Shepherd. Dean did a great job working with Colt. Colt was not good at walking on the leash and reactive towards other dogs. Now there is no pulling on the leash and he has done great around other dogs. We are very happy with our experience.

★★★★★

My 3 year old dog had become aggressive towards strangers and we could not walk him. He did a 20 day stay and is the best behaved dog now! He can walk off leash, he is listening to commands and he is very well behaved when people enter our house. They do a fabulous job!

★★★★★

The whole team at Christian K9 Academy is absolutely amazing! My dog Nala was having aggression issues with other dogs, obedience issues, and anxiety issues. We decided to send Nala for the 20 day board and train program, and it was the best decision we have ever made! She came back like a completely new dog and her behavior...

★★★★★

Life changing results from Christian K9!! My little Jack Russel was so reactive that taking walks or having visitors was a nightmare. After his 20 day stay, he is more enjoyable and our home is less stressful. My son also adopted a dog which caused an uproar in our home. But the new pup also got trained at Christian K9 and came...

★★★★★

We were really struggling with our dog at home, and really loosing hope that his aggressive behaviors towards other dogs in the home would improve, but after finding Christian K9 everything changed for us. They changed our lives and helped create this fully trained, well mannered, and well focused doodle we never thought we...

★★★★★

Christian K-9 has been great for our dog. They have helped work through aggression issues that other trainers and vets deemed unfixable. Mitch and his team provide direction on the right amount of firmness with your dog without overdoing it. We couldn’t be happier!

★★★★★

I'm so happy I found Christian K9. The work and care they put in to help my reactive dog is definitely 5 star- and exactly what we needed. I didn't know how to help my pup, having done multiple rounds of training at other facilities. Thanks to the trainers at Christian K9, my dog can now walk loose-leashed next to me and walk...

★★★★★

This was my first experience with a professional dog training program. There are not enough superlatives to describe my experience. I picked up Riff from the 10-day board and train puppy program yesterday. I was taught how to walk him on a leash and today he proved he learned the lessons. And so did I. We went on a 1.5 mile...

★★★★★

The trainers at Christian K-9 are ELITE! We did the 10-day puppy board & train and graduated a different dog. She would pull or protest on walks and now she’s a perfect walker. We will definitely continue to use Christian for off-leash training as she gets older. On top of that, Mitch and his team treated her like she was their...

★★★★★

We took our 4 month old chocolate lab puppy to Christian K-9 Academy for the 10 day basic obedience training. We are very pleased with what Charlie Brown learned during his time with Bailey! He does an awesome on walks, sits, does down & place. Many people have commented on his good behavior for a puppy! In addition, our family...

★★★★★

We sent our ~4mo old puppy, Scout, for the 10-day puppy board & train course at Christian K-9 Academy. She showed up to us as a stray, and with 2 young kids at home, we hadn't been planning on training a new puppy. We needed a focused environment for her to learn basic obedience without distractions, and this program fit the...

★★★★★

We had a wonderful experience with our puppy, Moose. He was with the team for two weeks (and over our spring break vacation so it was a win win for us!) and we loved getting our video updates from Dean. Prior to his training Moose (our 8m old labradoodle) was super naughty and stubborn. He loved to steal socks and rolls of...

★★★★★

We brought our 6 month old German Shepard, Daisy to the 10 day board and train program. Mitch sent us several videos of her progess and messages during her stay letting, us know how she was doing. Daisy was comfortable with Mitch and the environment from the start which was a relief. She learned obedience and leash training. We...

★★★★★

Christian K9 Academy greatly exceeded our expectations! We chose the 15 day board and train for our crazy 5 month old German shepherd so he could learn leash and off leash training. To say it feels like we have a whole new well behaved dog is an understatement! Our trainer, Dean, was fantastic! He sent regular updates and you...

★★★★★

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...

★★★★★

Mitch came recommended to us from our previous trainer and they did a fantastic job taking care of our dog for about a week. They provided updates and kept us in the loop while we were away. It was a great choice since they have a great open space and farm for the dogs to explore versus a boarding option in the city.

★★★★★

The absolute best boarding we’ve experienced! We travel 2 1/2 hours for Christian K9. Not many places can handle a Belgian Malinois and they do it effortlessly due to years of experience with all breeds. We know our dog isn’t locked up all day because he gets to run around the massive fenced in property and they socialize him...

★★★★★

Had an incredible experience. My 1 year old pup did the 20 day board and train. Such an amazing investment. The team was incredibly communicative; sent videos of his progress, let me know how he was doing, etc. although being away from my dog was difficult, it was clearly worth it. Both of our quality of lives had gotten much...

★★★★★

Honestly exceeded my expectations. We have a very difficult Alaskan malamute and we did the 20 day board and train. From the very beginning of even inquiring communication was top notch with Mitch. Dean did such a great job communicating with us, so many videos and pictures and pleasant to work with. I look forward to...

★★★★★

Very nice facility, very helpful. Will be back for more classes. After a couple of private lessons, we decided to send colt our German shepherd to the 20 day program. At 6 months old he is a completely different dog. Mitch and Bailey did a fantastic job with him. I highly recommend their service.
