Columbus All Breed Training

Excellent instructors! I have trained several dogs here, and find the instructors to be very enthusiastic, and well versed in all types of dog training methods. They encouraged participants to ask questions, and gave us individual instruction, particularly when they saw us struggling with a training exercise. They are show you various techniques, and are not just 'one method fits all' type training. I liked the classes so much I joined, and have trained 2 dogs to compete in Agility. They offer puppy and obedience classes to the public, and classes in Obedience, Agility, Rally, Conformation and Earth Dog to members. Membership is a fantastic value, I pay for a yearly single membership, and its about what most trainers charge PER CLASS, and I can take as many classes as I want - and with any dog I have. Best deal in town. Knowledgable instructors. Nice facilities. And located just off 270 at Alum Creek and Williams Rd. Give it a try, I recommend them highly.

This club focuses on training dogs for show. I enjoyed the fact that all breeds - even mutts and rescues - were welcome. The trainers were "success stories" themselves, as well as true animal lovers, so they really new what they were talking about. However, I still struggle with basic behavioral issues with my dog. I didn't feel like they were helping with her behavior as much as training us for show. She also has developed a horrible begging habit due to the constant treat-as-reward philosophy that they practice. If you're looking for basic doggie obedience, this is not the place for you.
