Ohio K9 Ranch

Ohio K9 Ranch offers three main program types: in-home training for personalized guidance in the dog’s environment, private lessons at the ranch for focused, distraction-free training, and intensive board-and-train programs where dogs stay at the facility for 1–2 weeks. Board-and-train includes potty training, crate conditioning, leash manners, and behavior modification with real-world exposure (e.g., parks, busy streets, wildlife). Owners receive follow-up instruction to continue training at home. Programs are tailored for puppies, reactive dogs, service dog candidates, and families with children. Training includes ongoing support and optional boarding for dogs previously trained to maintain consistency.

Ohio K9 Ranch is a professional dog training and behavior rehabilitation business based in Columbus, Ohio, led by Brandi with 18 years of experience. They offer personalized training solutions including in-home lessons, private sessions at their ranch facility, and intensive board-and-train programs.

They specialize in helping dogs with fearfulness, aggression, and behavioral issues, using consistent routines and positive reinforcement techniques. Clients report dramatic improvements in their dogs’ behavior, especially after board-and-train programs, with ongoing support provided to owners to sustain results. Training is tailored to individual needs, whether for a new puppy, a reactive adult, or a senior dog needing behavioral support.

Additional services include holiday-specific training tips and public outings to build confidence in real-life scenarios. The business is family-run and focuses on long-term success through education and partnership with owners.

Accomplishments

Brandi has 18 years of professional experience training dogs across multiple disciplines including obedience, therapy, service, protection, and scent work. She has successfully rehabilitated dogs with severe behavioral issues, including reactivity, fearfulness, and aggression. Many clients report transformative results, especially with dogs that failed to improve with other trainers. Her work includes training dogs to behave calmly around children, other animals, and high-distraction environments like baseball games.

How to Get Started!

Prospective clients are encouraged to contact Ohio K9 Ranch via phone or email to discuss their dog’s needs. An initial consultation is required to determine the best program (in-home, ranch lessons, or board-and-train). Board-and-train applicants must reserve spots in advance due to limited availability. Training begins with an assessment of the dog’s behavior, environment, and owner goals.
