Dog’s Best Friend Training is a family-owned and operated dog training business in Central Ohio, established in 2008 with a mission to help dogs and their families live more harmonious lives. They offer personalized training programs tailored to each dog’s needs and the owner’s goals, focusing on building trust and respect rather than just teaching commands. Their approach emphasizes the dog’s state of mind, helping owners manage behaviors like leash pulling, excessive barking, separation anxiety, fearfulness, and reactivity. In addition to private lessons, they provide board-and-train programs where dogs stay at their training ranch for intensive training, followed by follow-up lessons for owners. They also offer puppy-specific training for dogs under 16 weeks. The business is run by Reid and Cathy, who live onsite with their dogs, cats, goats, and chickens, and they provide training videos and ongoing support to ensure long-term success.

They are bonded, insured, and registered as an LLC in Ohio. Reid is a Professional Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and a member of the National K-9 Dog Trainers Association. They pride themselves on never shaming or blaming owners and on providing honest, respectful guidance. Their services extend beyond training to include pet sitting and dog walking, originally forming the foundation of their business before evolving into full-scale training.

They serve dog owners across Central Ohio and emphasize practical, real-life application of training techniques that fit into daily routines.
