Bryan Hazelbaker – Lead Dog Trainer in Columbus

Bryan Hazelbaker is a local Columbus chef turned Professional Dog Trainer. He has always had dogs in his life, but was inspired to change careers when he adopted a beautiful German Shepherd who needed training help beyond what he could provide.

Bryan received his dog training education from Catch Canine Training academy, and has also completed the Canine Trade Group’s Professional Dog Trainer’s Course – an intensive, 320-hour program that has fully prepared him to work with any kind of canine personality. This course included an in-depth study of canine learning theories, as well as several weeks of hands-on work where he learned how to address even the most challenging dog behavior issues, like aggression and anxiety.

With his new found knowledge and passion for training, he has been able to help his own dogs reach their training potential as well as others in the Columbus area.

The Best Dog Training Programs in Columbus Ohio

Buckeye dog trainers will perform an in-home consultation where they observe your dog in his/her natural environment in order to see their particular behavior problems firsthand. This observation period allows trainers to figure out the root cause of the problem and design a training plan specifically for your dog.

Our trainers are committed to helping you teach your dog. Other dog trainers charge by the hour or day, but Buckeye Dog Training charges by the job—this means you pay one flat fee and we’re with you until your dog training and behavior goals are reached. The only thing we ask in return is that you are as committed as we are!

Our Columbus Dog Training Programs

We offer many types of training, here at Buckeye Dog Training. Learn more about our IN-HOME dog training programs.

Puppy Training

Our Columbus puppy training program is for puppies at least 7 weeks of age, we work on all of the basic dog training commands such as housebreaking and potty training, sit, down, come, place, impulse control, focus, leash walking, recall, crate training and so much more. 

Reward Based

Reward based training means we will set your dog up for success! We make sure your dog has all of the skills they will need before putting them into a situation with stimuli and triggers. Our goal is for your dog to success and rewarded as much as possible!

Aggressive Dogs

Our aggressive dog training program is designed to correct and address all forms of aggression including: fear, resource guarding, territorial, dog on dog, human, food, leash, etc. This type of behavior training can work on any dog no matter the breed, or age. 

Separation Anxiety

If you have a dog who is struggling when you leave them, you need our separation anxiety program. Our training process to correct separation anxiety has been successful for over 35 years! We have helped thousands of dog owners relieve their dog’s anxiety. 

LIMA

We use the LIMA dog training methods, this means the least intrusive, minimally aversive strategy out of a set of humane and effective tactics likely to succeed in achieving a training or behavior change objective.

In-Home Dog Training – Why It Works!

We believe in-home training, where the owner is put in control, is the most effective form of training out there. Group training places your dog in a strange environment with strange people, increasing their level of anxiety and distraction. Board-and-train programs do the same thing, plus your dog learns to listen to the trainer rather than to you, the owner.

Basic Obedience Training & Behavior Modification

 Buckeye Dog Training will give you the tailored tools you need to see your dog succeed and reach your training goals. You will learn the proper way to handle your dog, and your dog will learn to take his/her cues from you. In-home training allows us to work inside, in a familiar place, away from distractions. Once your dog’s training and behavior is reliable in the home, then and only then do we take him into the outside world, around neighbors, other dogs, and numerous distractions.
