Pet Boarding Training near Pickerington

“Such a wonderful and caring group of professionals! They really care about the animals that come in.“

“Brett did an amazing job working with our 5 month old German Shepherd. Our puppy did the Jump Start +1 program, two days of training with one overnight stay. We are thrilled with the results.

During our initial consultation, Brett took the time to explain his approach to training and answer all of my many questions!

During training, Brett used agility work to help build our puppy's confidence while also learning obedience commands. We were concerned about proper socialization, this was addressed through training as our dog worked with Brett's dog, Roman, to learn proper interaction from a balanced dog. Over the course of the two days, we received video and text updates.

When we picked our puppy up, Brett went over all the work they did and taught us how to implement obedience commands and continue his training at home. He also took the time to answer all of our follow-up questions Our 5 month old puppy used to pull and swerve all over when walking, he now walks on a loose leash in heel position! He also is excelling in sit and down stays. I took him to Home Depot yesterday and he let two strangers approach and pet him without barking; this is one of the goals I have for him.

Brett offers a variety of different training packages depending on your dog's needs. He also focuses on the importance of you participating and continuing training. These points were key for me as I was looking for a trainer who would focus on the needs of my dog and help me learn how to set him up for continued success.“

“We took our two German Shepherd puppies, Gypsy and Rose, to Paradigm K9 LLC for training, and the results were amazing! Jeff and Kayla are excellent trainers who truly care about the dogs. After completing the residential program, both pups came home completely transformed—calm, obedient, and responsive. Gypsy now sits, stays, waits, and even does fun tricks like “find it.” I highly recommend Paradigm K9 LLC to anyone serious about giving their dog the best start!“

“We recently got a new puppy and wanted to get stared off with him on the right foot. Doug's LuvPup Training was recommended to us. Doug was fantastic, has a wonderful inviting studio for both the dogs and the humans. Doug was very knowledgeable, caring and patient with us and our child. Not only the training but also Doug's recommendations have made ours and our puppy's life so much more enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the results.“

“Our dog started going to Furball fitness when he was 11 months old. He has now been going for over 7 months and LOVES IT. This is an incredible team and they take great care of dogs under their supervision. Highly recommend!“

“I cannot tell you how great the puppy day school is. Can't say enough good things about this company.“

“My experience with and participation in the Estate Dogs training has truly been a pivotal chapter in both my life and the journey with my K9 companion! I have an almost 1-year-old European Dobermann, and we embarked on this adventure with Shawn from Estate Dogs when my pup was just about 7 1/2 months old. Shawn took the time to evaluate my pup and crafted a program specifically designed for our unique needs and the goals I had in mind for training. The in-person training program has been incredibly enlightening, revealing so much about both myself and my dog. The before and after is incredible. I get so many compliments on how well mannered and obedient my pup is!

Shawn possesses an extraordinary depth of knowledge regarding dog and human behavior patterns along with nonverbal communication. His insights have reshaped my understanding of the training process and the essence of the K9 partnership. I've come to realize that as handlers, we must rely on ourselves to properly teach and guide our dogs, just as much as we depend on them to absorb our lessons. This journey has taught me invaluable patience, not only with my animal but with myself as well.

Throughout the training, Shawn continuously assessed both my and my dog's needs, making thoughtful adjustments to the program whenever necessary. He also invited me to participate in group training sessions, which provided outstanding opportunities to enhance my dog's socialization skills and improve our communication with distractions.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Shawn for this remarkable experience! I am eager to continue our journey with Estate Dogs and get into more advanced and specialized training for me and my pooch! Thank you, thank you ?✨?“

“Dr. Duffus is great! I liked her no nonsense approach and the whole clinic had a homey type of vibe. Didn't feel like a big chain just trying to make a money grab.“

“Been taking my pup here for years for grooming and boarding, they are super sweet and they love my dog, they’re not overcharging me like vet offices do, and I feel 100% confident he’s well taken care of while he’s there. Highly recommended!“

“My dog has loved learning agility! The staff is so nice and worked with me to get private lessons for my reactive pup. Terri is the best!“

“I highly recommend this place! My boys are well taken care of! It's a clean kennel and the staff is amazing!“

“We have tried every boarding in town and beyond and this is their home. Chris is the best concierge and my dogs have never been crated so this is the perfect space for them. Our vet tried to sedate our boy before he gets his nails trimmed because it is that uncomfortable whereas I take them here and he doesn’t have any anxiety or pills needed. My girl whines when she arrives because she can’t wish to see Chris. It truly is their home away from home. We are very thankful ❤️“

“A++++ By far the BEST kennel around! Everyone is extremely caring and attentive to each and every pet. My family has used Meegan’s over the course of three pets, and they only seem to get better! Thanks to all the staff for really going the extra mile over the years!“

“Been going to this groomer for a while now and she does a great job! Very communicative and my pup always leaves a happy boy ◡̈“

“We're learning to work together as a team! Thank you Allison!! AGILITY AT ITS FINEST !“

“SUCH A WONDERFUL SHELTER - I am a foster parent for the dogs there and GiGi’s has TOP NOTCH STAFF!! So easy to work with, very friendly and a non-judgmental environment!!

I also fell in love and adopted two of my fosters! Fostering helps give a ‘trial run’ with the dogs you foster if indeed you are seeking a best friend of your own. And even if you are not seeking to adopt, you are helping so many innocent animals that desperately need a break from a shelter environment while the shelter is working with the community to find each dog their ‘forever home’.

Fostering is THE MOST REWARDING VOLUNTEER WORK in the world and it’s only a small commitment at a time. Typically only a week or two for each dog you help. Please consider it! Especially at Gigi’s!!! Top Notch rescue !!!“

“We took our rescue, Tillie, to Allison after two very scary attacks on other dogs in the household. We did the 2 week board and train and it has made such a difference! Not only did she teach tillie commands but also taught us how to spot and manage signs of conflict in the house (even taking time during the home visit to work with the other dog). We could not be more impressed with Tillies progress. She sent daily progress videos and was responsive to any questions we had after training was complete. If you are here checking reviews like I did because you were afraid you’d have to rehome your dog please give Allison a call! We checked with another trainer first and they said it wouldn’t work because tillie was too old.“

“I only trust Lucky Bones with our fur babies . They love, protect and care for our Roo almost as much as we do. We have definitely found the best place in caring for our pups!“

“Small down home country feel with a dedicated and knowledgeable small staff. Offers Veterinary Care, Grooming, and Boarding appointments. Daycare packages available as well. This is my one stop shop for my dogs and cats basic health care needs.“
