Helping dog owners create a freedom-filled life with their dog

DOG TRAINING SERVICES IN COLUMBUS

You're exhausted trying to get your dog to behave and too embarrassed to have friends or family over.

BUT YOU KNOW YOUR DOG HAS A GOOD HEART. YOU SEE IT EVERY DAY.

Maybe you dreamt of a canine companion who listened to your every word. A pup that stays by your side no matter what life throws at you. But reality has been far from that.

 

It’s been unpredictable and disruptive. Full of conflict and frustration instead of the pure joy and laughter you had originally envisioned. That’s where we come in.

 

As dog trainers, we help dog parents regain control and calm by bridging the gap between dog behavior and modern life expectations.

Dog Behavior for Modern Life

Whether you’ve seen neighbors walking down the street with a dream companion or your vision for your dog came from something you saw in a movie, the most well-adjusted companions are often not born; they are trained.

 

Dog training has evolved into a practice that is now a balance of science-backed, research-based methods and ethical techniques to minimize stress while maximizing results.

 

Modern life can be tough on dogs. Long gone are the days when they had endless space to run, explore, and make their own choices. Today, our dogs spend more time indoors, meet new people and dogs daily, and are expected to adjust to busy households. Add in the fact that many breeds are chosen based on looks rather than temperament, and it’s easy to see where the disconnect that causes behavior issues comes from.

 

Dog training is a powerful way to help your dog become better adjusted to your lifestyle and expectations while bridging the communication gap between you and your dog. 

 

Your dog’s behavior is shaped by many things — from genetics and early socialization to environment and daily routines. Training gives you a way to influence those factors so your dog thrives.

What Can Wild Magic Kennels Deliver?

On the surface, dog training delivers:

  • A dog that you can easily walk around your neighborhood.

  • A companion that knows their place in the home.

  • A household member who knows where to be during meal times.

  • A pup that’s polite with friends and visitors.

 

On a deeper level, you’ll experience:

  • A four-legged friend that listens to your every word.

  • A canine that makes you proud in front of your friends and family.

  • A partner that brings joy and that you can’t imagine life without.

  • An intangible bond that is unique to you and your dog.

 

Training is about more than obedience. Training is a bridge for communication so that you two become a team - partners in life. Both ends of the leash understand expectations, and you work together to meet each other’s needs.

About the Trainer

Like many young girls in the 90's I grew up dreaming of becoming a dog trainer — and I became one after I saw how much easier (and happier) life could be when people and their dogs truly understood each other.

Like many families, I’ve personally struggled with a dog who barked, pulled, and seemed impossible to manage. What changed everything wasn’t punishment or “being the boss” — it was learning how to teach in a way that made sense to the dog and the humans. Watching that transformation lit a fire in me, and I knew I wanted to help other families feel the same relief and joy.

​

Since then, I’ve worked with thousands of dogs in shelters and hundreds of clients in Kansas City and Florida, and I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing training and professional networks. But what I’m most proud of are the moments when a client says, “I finally feel like we’re a team.”

​

My goal is simple: to give you and your dog the skills and confidence to enjoy life together. Because when both ends of the leash understand each other, everything gets easier.
