Choosing a Dog Trainer Near You

Our Maplewood, Ohio dog training center is the perfect choice if you are looking for a nationally awarded dog trainer who truly cares about dogs and produces reliable on and off leash obedience training for dogs. Your dog will live inside your dog trainer’s home, not an off-site kennel facility or garage, and will be cared for around the clock. Our secure, fenced in play yards mean they can stretch their legs to socialize with other dogs, chase a ball, or just get some one-on-one attention if that is more their style. Come see what makes Dog Dynamix Ohio special in terms of not only dog and puppy training results, but in personalized care. We offer transportation services to dogs living in Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati, and the surrounding areas and specialize in training while boarding.

Training with Shaina is amazing! I was able to travel to her facility and train with her during a small seminar she hosted. Our group had dogs and handlers of all levels. Shaina had amazing advice for each and broke even the most complex behaviors down so even beginners like me could understand! Not only was she a great instructor, she was a great host to us and made everyone feel welcome immediately. I 10/10 will continue to train with Shaina at Dog Dynamix Ohio and you should too!

Shaina has been absolutely amazing to work with!!! I could not ask for a better dog trainer. I was looking for a dog trainer in the Dayton, Ohio area to help with basic obedience as well as protection sport training when I brought home my german shepherd puppy, Venom. She has given me such great guidance on building a confident, friendly, driven puppy! She’s also been a life saver helping me work through his dog reactivity. Shaina has been nothing but helpful and kind when introducing new training methods; even when I stumble through not knowing what I’m doing just yet. Venom loves going to see her, he gets excited just turning on to her road! I 10/10 recommend Shaina for training your dog!

I made an impulse buy and adopted a rescue dog. I know she, Brody, came from a pretty bad situation. She had leash reactivity and fear aggression, especially towards the FedEx trucks. I was afraid someone would get hurt. Although I’d had other dogs before and trained them, I did not know what to do about this behavior. I initially went to Dog Dynamix to get just the basic obedience work so that we could have a nice house pet. I did a private training session where I met this quiet young woman who in 30 minutes had my crazy dog swooning over her and wanting to do anything she asked with joy. Shaina said, “You need to do rally with this dog so she has some fun. We can get into serious obedience later.” I had never even heard of rally. But I took her advice because, to me, I had already seen a miracle in improved behavior. 5 years later, at least 6 classes and tons of practice sessions, I’m now into dog sports and just got my next dog prospect. Shaina taught me and my dog confidence and to pay attention to each other and not everything else going on around us. I’ve seen a complete turn around. Brody LOVES Shaina and “dog school.” I can now take her anywhere and walk her off leash with the confidence she will return to me when called no matter what is going on around her. I’ve seen Shaina do this with so many dogs and people now, because dog training truly takes training both owners and their companions. She is patient and kind. She teaches you to be the same so that your dog doesn’t have to be yelled at to obey commands. I can whisper to my dog and she will obey. She helps you build a relationship with your dog that is fun for both of you and encourages your dog to want to please you. Shaina clearly loves dogs and dog sport. I’ve enjoyed training so much, I just keep going, Dog Dynamix offers a range of classes and services. I’ve now been training or working with Shaina for 5 years. I’ve seen her take her own dogs from tiny puppies to world champions. I’ve had so much fun and learned so much that I’m going to begin competing myself. Shaina is not just a trainer, but a friend. Even though she is in Ohio and I’m now in Florida, she’s still the #1 person I turn to for training advice. I could not recommend her enough. You’ll be so glad you chose her and Dog Dynamix to work with you and your dogs!

My Buck and I Participated in Shania's workshop for mondioring skills. We came for work on rather what we could call "pet obedience", we hunt with Buck and needed to tighten up on our basic skills while in the field. Shaina took time to go over things I was over looking and or putting too much into. Refreshed some very valuable skills and kept me completely comfortable although we were the odd balls out. That work shop was last year and I still reach out with questions to this day! She's been beyond helpful to us! Can't thank you enough for all you have done and continue to do for our furry best friends !!

Dog Dynamix and Shaina opened up an entirely new world of dog ownership for me. Shaina meets you and your dog where you are, works hard to understand your goals and provides a clear path to get there. By sharing her balanced methods and depth of knowledge she teaches you to understand the world through your dog's eyes, empowers you to build a strong relationship that is the basis for everything else you want to achieve whether that be an amazing off-leash companion pet or high-achieving sport dog. In addition to training and opening up a world of dog sports to me, Dog Dynamix is the only place I trust to care for my dogs when I'm away. They know my dogs and give them exactly what they need. Thank you Shaina and Dog Dynamix.

Shaina is so amazing she really understands dogs, and takes times to really understand the client needs as well. When my husband got his first malinois and it was also his first sport dog and it was also his first dog he had no clue where to start and I had no skills on how to coach him. Shaina played such an integral role in teaching him how to become as great of a handler and trainer as he is today! She has helped him become a serious competitor in the ring sport world. Her how to videos, her... explanations, and her dedication make her one of the most amazing trainers that you could ever work with!read more

I’ve spent a lot of time at Dog Dynamix and a lot of time with Shaina, training dogs. I’ve taken various classes taught by her and worked together in the same sport dog club for many years. To say we’ll miss her in Colorado would be an understatement.Shaina has always proven herself to be very fair and consistent with both the dogs and trainers and she always has the dog’s best interest in mind. She’s always willing to discuss the “why” and to work to formulate a training plan that will... work for both the dog and trainer. I could go on and on extolling the virtues of Shaina’s experience but to be succinct, if you have the opportunity to work with Shaina, take it and you and your dog will not regret it.read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Shaina in person at her seminars and online in her Competition Obedience group. She is an incredibly talented dogwoman – both as a teacher and as a handler, and has had a big influence on how I have been approaching the training of my young Malinois. I feel fortunate our paths crossed in Colorado, and hope the fine folks of Ohio realize how lucky they are and take advantage of having such a great resource and wealth of knowledge at the new DogDynamix... location! Dojo will come visit if we are ever in that part of the world.read more

I’ve known Shaina for many years. She’s an amazing trainer who can speak “dog.” She knows how to translate this into a language both you and your dog will understand! A-mazing!!!

Shaina helped us even no one else could. We felt helpless and with her guidance our dog became a normal dog and well balanced. We were able to get him a companion and all live peacefully. Shaina is the best.
