Columbus Area Recommended Dog Trainers and Behavior Consultants

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to pawsbehaviormedical@googlegroups.com if you are having behavioral issues with your adopted PAWS dog. We strongly recommend avoiding dominance-based trainers and selecting a trainer who uses positive reinforcement, as dominance-based training is not backed by scientific research and does not address the dog’s underlying emotional state. Below are a few trainers we have used. If your dog has exhibited severe or dangerous behaviors, Ohio State University will be the best option for you.
