“Alisa Gerasimov was a godsend to us! When she arrived, our dog Ed was continually marking around the house, he was uncontrollable on the leash, he did not focus on any of my commands, he was full of anxiety, he was fearful and somewhat hostile to other dogs and generally impossible to control. And both of my pups were gobbling their food, sometimes being sick afterwards from eating so fast. Ed now is calmer, happier, very confident, does not ever mark in the house, loves other dogs (THANK YOU FLOKIE FOR BEING HIS FIRST FRIEND!) listens to my commands and does not drag me around the neighborhood! And Django is learning through him all the good habits Alisa instilled! And she also introduced me to the “snuffle mats” which have completely changed the way they eat. She also recommended the belly belts and the front-hook harnesses, which changed my life! Both pups are so much happier in so many ways. I have owned many dogs through the years, and I can truthfully say this is the first time I felt like the training was worth the time and money spent. Alisa has an absolute gift with dogs. They instinctively trust her. She quickly becomes a safe place for them. I can’t thank her enough for her help and kindness. We will miss Alisa and her wonderful dog Flokie and our training sessions, which became fun instead of work, but still managed to correct behavior. She is the BEST!!!”

“Jacey trained my rescue dog Boomer who was about 1.5 yr at the time. Boomer is a 55lb hound dog mix who struggled with high anxiety, high prey drive and leash pulling. After spending two weeks with Jacey, Boomer is able to walk in a heel, has perfect recall, dog neutral, down on command even in disruptive environments like public transit etc. Even after training, Jacey was quick to answer any and all questions I had for her regarding keeping up with his e-collar training. We moved from Columbus, Ohio to NYC and Boomer adapted seamlessly from the quiet suburban lifestyle to bustling life in Manhattan. He rides with me in the subway, buses etc. I could not say enough good things about Jacey and would truly recommend her to all.”

Dog trainers in Ohio selflessly set pets up for success. Christine Good shares why they chose this path: Working in the veterinary field I realized that there was a huge need for more education and training without force. So many animals were surrendered, rehomed, or even euthanized for behavioral challenges that could have been prevented or avoided if clients had received better advice from the beginning on the relationship with their pet. I think, animal behavior is absolutely fascinating and teaches us a lot about ourselves. I love creating a stronger bond that goes both ways between dogs and their families.. All 90 trainers on this Ohio list are committed to positive reinforcement. Trusted Ohio trainer, Sarah Dugger, uses the following methods: Begin with a consultation to assess medical history, learning history, and the conditions surrounding behaviors through a Behavior Analysis lens. Establish short term and longterm goals before creating a training plan for the individual animal. With an individualized training package, we will practice two-way communication with the animal during positive reinforcement training sessions to shape skills and cues. In addition to training, we will incorporate thoughtful environment arrangement to manage behavior problems..

FAQ: Meet the Top Dog Trainer in Ohio

Who are the top Aggressive dog trainers in Ohio?

Our top-rated trainer, Christine Good, has earned 158 votes for their outstanding work in Aggressive dog training. Alongside them, Sarah Dugger and Hannah Burke Garbett have also made a significant impact amongst Ohio pets.

What motivates Ohio dog trainers?

Christine Good became a dog trainer because Working in the veterinary field I realized that there was a huge need for more education and training without force. So many animals were surrendered, rehomed, or even euthanized for behavioral challenges that could have been prevented or avoided if clients had received better advice from the beginning on the relationship with their pet. I think, animal behavior is absolutely fascinating and teaches us a lot about ourselves. I love creating a stronger bond that goes both ways between dogs and their families./. Similarly, Sarah Dugger and Hannah Burke Garbett have unique motivations, with I recognized a need in the pet owner community for ethical, positive, and skillful trainers. In my 'zoo bubble' I was surrounded by the best of the best trainers, but in our everyday society, there is an overwhelming amount of traditional and behavior-suppressing methods. I feel motivated to show people that there is a better way, and that we can get results that leave both the pet parent and the pet happier and more bonded. andI understand the struggle of raising an exuberant puppy or the stress that comes from experiencing behavior problems with an older dog. One of my goals as a trainer is not just to help humans have 'better dogs' but also to help dogs have 'better humans.' To me that means reading canine body language, knowing how to meet the needs of your individual dog and learning how to teach new skills with kindness and compassion. I love helping families understand and enjoy their dogs, building bonds and connection that lasts a lifetime. driving their passion.

What is Christine Good biggest tip?

For Christine Good, the best tip is to: I think, we could solve half our dog problems by picking dogs that fit our lifestyle better. For example -puppies may look adorable with their big eyes but they are really Velociraptors on steroids! They bite, and have accidents, and bite some more. It is also a misconception that puppies are blank slates and won't develop problems. Puberty is awful no matter the species. Dogs two and over have fully formed personalities. What you see is usually what you get - if you know how to look. Also, although we may fantasize about driving a racecar and may enjoy watching them, most of us are much better served in real life with an SUV or sedan. There are breeds out there that appear in movies or online videos showing off fantastic skills - but they are not made to be living in suburbia around families. They are not happy - and you won't be either..

What do Ohio trainers love most about their work?

Christine Good finds the greatest joy in I love people. I love dogs. I love kids. This job allows me to work with all three. I love that I can help develop understanding, compassion, and joy in families and help dog/human families grow closer together., while Sarah Dugger and Hannah Burke Garbett cherish Witnessing my clients have success with their pet, and Witnessing my clients have success with their pet, respectively.

For behavioral challenges we always set up a plan including three layers: management of the behavior to prevent practicing 'bad' behavior, teaching specific behaviors that can be performed on cue, and behavior modification to address the dogs' underlying emotions that make them act out to begin with. We provide handouts, links, and videos as needed to support the process..
