All Purpose K-9 LLC

"Wonderful people who are committed and truly caring towards our family. I have brought my pups for training, dog daycare and have purchased many Ruff Land Kennels. I can take my dogs anywhere because they have been trained and socialized. This is a blessing because my family is always very active."

"With a recent move to Columbus, OH. Our Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix struggled to adjust to people in and around our new apartment space. We first boarded Lewis at APK9 in the Fall and were immediately impressed by their commitment to take care of every dog that comes to their facility regardless of breed or level of behavior. After some mixed results from other trainers, we decided to ask Paige for some advice. Her knowledge and expertise for how to handle a nervous/reactive /anxious/big baby of a dog had us hooked and we knew we needed her help. She and Jordan have both come to our apartment to help Lewis know what he is and is not allowed to do around people. My confidence handling Lewis has skyrocketed from being afraid (to the point of tears) to take him out by myself, to knowing I can handle him, even if he does react. Lewis, on the other hand, is happier, calmer, and now makes better decisions in situations that make him nervous. Simply put, Paige and Jordan have completely changed the dynamic between Lewis, myself, and other people. I cannot say enough good things about APK9, especially if you have a reactive dog that you are struggling with. Thank you Paige, thank you Jordan, and thank you APK9!!!"

"Our stubborn, confident, and bossy 9 month old Scottish Terrier, Chip, participated in the 3 week board and train with All Purpose K-9. We could not have been happier with the results. Learning to "place", "sit", "down" (all while maintaining that position and staying until told to move), and "come" were surprising and big achievements. Jordan did a fantastic job working with, and training us during in home training sessions, and with Chip during his board and train. Jordan is very knowledgeable, and was patient answering all our questions and explaining everything he was doing. He worked with us using various collars and leash techniques to aide in training Chip. As a terrier, Chip is still very stubborn, but the gains he has made, with Jordan's help, have been amazing. He is even starting to obey the commands without his training collar. During our last training session, Jordan even helped us with how to properly use a bark collar that he recommended and we purchased to help with Chip barking and having a fit while we left him home alone in his cage. Chip did this so much that one of us always stayed home with him, or we took him with us, during the 9 months that we have had him. With Jordan's help with the bark collar, we were able to leave the house with Chip in his cage for close to 20 minutes and Chip remained calm and only barked a couple times. That was huge for us. The training never ends, and Chip will continue to learn, but he now has a solid base thanks to Jordan, and All Purpose K-9. We look forward to using their services in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family."

"All Purpose K-9 have been amazing with me 2 dogs. Having a puppy that was growing fast and that struggled with temper worried me, especially since he is deaf and I can't verbally communicate with him. After going through training with them he was a whole new dog. When it was time to have my German shepherd trained there was no other choice, she would go to them. They did a great job with them both and my dogs love to go back for day care and boarding so they can play, and brush up on training."

"We did the 3 week board and train Novice program and follow up sessions at home. I was so shocked how focused and attentive my (previously wild) puppy was when Paige (trainer) brought him home to me! APK9 does a great job making sure you understand the process and feel comfortable with continuing training practice on your own at home! They sent some photos and updates to me during his 3 week stay and I could tell he was not just learning but having a blast as well. This was a great way to get my dog socialized and trained before moving to a pet-friendly apartment complex."
