Personalized Dog Training
We believe that every dog is different, which is why we offer tailored training solutions to meet the specific needs of both you and your dog. Our training programs include a variety of options such as private lessons, group lessons, residency programs, and in-home training visits. These programs allow us to create a customized plan that works best for your dog’s temperament, behavior, and your personal schedule.
And during your free consultation, we’ll assess your dog’s behavior and discuss your goals, ensuring that you receive the training plan that delivers the best results. Whether your dog needs basic obedience training or more advanced support, we’re here to help.


Training for Rescue and Adoption Adaptation
Bringing a new dog into your home, especially a rescue or adopted dog, can come with its own set of challenges. Our rescue and adoption adaptation training is specifically designed to help your new dog adjust to their new environment. We focus on confidence-building, especially for under-socialized dogs that may be fearful or anxious in their new surroundings. With our guidance, you can ensure that your adopted dog feels safe, secure, and loved, setting the foundation for a happy and harmonious relationship.

Puppy Training and Early Socialization
If you have a new puppy, now is the perfect time to start training. We offer puppy pre-school classes to help your puppy learn the basics of obedience while also focusing on early socialization. Puppies are like sponges, and the earlier they begin training, the easier it is to shape their behavior and prevent bad habits from forming.
Additionally, our puppy training programs focus on building good manners, such as crate training, housebreaking, and leash walking. Plus, we teach your puppy how to interact with other dogs and people in a positive and confident way.

Addressing Behavioral Issues
Every dog has their quirks, but sometimes these behaviors can become disruptive. At Complete Canine of Columbus, we help address a wide range of common behavioral issues to create a better environment for both you and your dog. Whether you’re dealing with a fearful, aggressive, or hyperactive dog, we use proven techniques to curb these tendencies and promote positive behavior.
Some of the daily issues we address include:
- Fearfulness: Helping dogs overcome their anxieties.
- Aggression: Managing and reducing aggressive tendencies.
- Hyperactivity: Calming overexcited or high-energy dogs.
- Destructive behavior: Stopping behaviors like chewing, digging, and tearing up household items.
- Excessive barking: Reducing barking both indoors and outdoors.
- Pulling on the leash: Training dogs to walk calmly on a leash.
- Jumping up: Teaching dogs to greet people without jumping.
- Trash diving: Stopping dogs from getting into the trash or unwanted areas.
Our personalized approach to behavioral training also helps you see quick and lasting results, making life easier and more enjoyable for both you and your dog.

Specialized Dog Training
In addition to basic obedience and behavior modification, Complete Canine of Columbus offers specialized training services for dogs with specific needs.
