Full Moon Dog Training is a dog training business serving the Greater Cincinnati area, led by Justine, a certified dog trainer with over 15 years of experience since 2007. She offers personalized training programs for puppies to adult dogs, focusing on prevention of behavioral issues and holistic, individualized solutions that integrate physical health, emotional well-being, and owner education. Justine uses a wide range of techniques learned from top professionals and emphasizes positive, balanced methods tailored to each dog’s needs. She provides private lessons, group classes, board and train services, pack walks, and boarding. Her training includes behavior modification for reactivity, fearfulness, and aggression, as well as puppy prep and obedience. She also offers hands-on training that includes children in the process and uses her own hypoallergenic poodle, Loki, to assist nervous dogs and serve clients with allergies. Her approach is rooted in empathy, continuous education, and building strong owner-dog bonds.

Justine’s services extend beyond training to include pet boarding, pack walks, and graduate distraction classes. She is known for her patience, professionalism, and ability to help owners understand their dogs’ behavior, not just correct it. Her facility-based training includes a farm setting where dogs can practice in real-world environments, and she maintains long-term relationships with clients, even working with dogs into their senior years.

Her training philosophy centers on the belief that every dog deserves a happy owner and every owner deserves a happy dog, with a strong focus on preventing problems early and addressing root causes of behavior rather than just symptoms.

Her experience includes rehabilitating rescue dogs and training dogs in both Georgia and Ohio.
