Behavior Transformation For All Dogs

Welcome to Capital Canine, where we celebrate and cherish joys of dog ownership — the unspoken bond, priceless memories, and shared adventures that foster the unique relationship we all have with our four legged best friend. 

However, we also recognize the tough realities that can stand in the way —the barking, jumping, chewing, and even deeper behavioral concerns like anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, aggression, or dogs running away from home.

You might be here seeking solutions for unwanted behaviors that have turned your life into a cycle of stress and frustration, or perhaps you're looking to preemptively build a life of connection, trust, and freedom with your dog.

At Capital Canine we do so much more than just teach your dog obedience commands. Our training is designed to be fun and engaging while building a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.  Our programs are designed with 3 primary goals: 

1) Develop a controlled, confident and happy dog

2) Build stronger connections between owners and their dogs

3) Provide training that is functional and reliable in the real world

Our Training System

  • Phase 1: Behavior Transformation Programs

    We offer a variety of behavior transformation programs depending on your dog’s unique challenges and your training goals. Each program starts with the leash and positive reinforcement (aka: food and toys) to build mutual trust, and expands from there.

  • Phase 2: Owner Education

    While training the individual dog is important, long term success comes from you, the owners, understanding how to do things the right way! Private lessons are included in each of our programs to ensure you have the knowledge, tools, and skills to effectively communicate with your dog.

  • Phase 3: Park Time (Continued Support)

    After training is complete, we offer group Park Time sessions to ensure you have continued support and access to us as questions come up. Park Time sessions are held with other fellow Capital Canine graduates to reinforce their in high distraction environments. Park Times are heldweekly at public parks throughout Columbus.

We understand your dog is part of your family and finding the right trainer is a huge decision for you and your dog!
