Rude Dog K9 Training



About Rude Dog K9 Training
Rude Dog K9 Training, in Canal Winchester, OH, is a balanced trainer run by Master Trainer Brett, with an unusual whole-dog angle: training paired with canine nutrition and first-aid education.
How they train
The approach is balanced — building obedience and resolving problem behaviors while emphasizing the owner's leash handling and non-verbal communication, framed as making training fun and strengthening the bond. Brett documents progress with video, which clients consistently praise.
Programs
Programs span puppy work, behavioral consultation, off-leash, crate training, and master-level training, plus behavior modification for aggression and leash-handling instruction. Two distinctive extras: K9 First Aid & CPR courses, and an all-natural raw dog-food brand (Louie's Bark n' Grill) — so canine wellness is part of the pitch. 8200 Howe Industrial Pkwy, Canal Winchester.

Brett did an amazing job working with our 5 month old German Shepherd. Our puppy did the Jump Start +1 program, two days of training with one overnight stay. We are thrilled with the results.
During our initial consultation, Brett took the time to explain his approach to training and answer all of my many questions!
During training, Brett used agility work to help build our puppy's confidence while also learning obedience commands. We were concerned about proper socialization, this was addressed through training as our dog worked with Brett's dog, Roman, to learn proper interaction from a balanced dog. Over the course of the two days, we received video and text updates.
When we picked our puppy up, Brett went over all the work they did and taught us how to implement obedience commands and continue his training at home. He also took the time to answer all of our follow-up questions Our 5 month old puppy used to pull and swerve all over when walking, he now walks on a loose leash in heel position! He also is excelling in sit and down stays. I took him to Home Depot yesterday and he let two strangers approach and pet him without barking; this is one of the goals I have for him.
Brett offers a variety of different training packages depending on your dog's needs. He also focuses on the importance of you participating and continuing training. These points were key for me as I was looking for a trainer who would focus on the needs of my dog and help me learn how to set him up for continued success.
Harper has been to Brett a few times for training starting when she was just 10 weeks old. She is now 2 1/2 years old and recently spent three days with Brett as a refresher. She thoroughly enjoys going to see Brett and we are always very grateful. Harper has always been a rather nervous pup, but with Brett’s help she has gained confidence and calmness. We look forward to working with Brett again as she always learns something new — and so do we! Brett not only does a great job with Harper, but he takes the time to educate us, and answer our many questions too! Bret is patient, calm, confident, competent, and I would trust him with our girl always. Thank you Brett!
Wow! Our rescue puppy has received first-rate training from the best trainer! We first took our Harper to Brett at 5 months for some beginning obedience training and recently took her for her first advanced training at 10 months. Brett not only trained our dog, but he spent hours training us on how to continue to train our dog. I cannot begin to express our thanks. You see, my husband had a hemorrhagic stroke 4 years ago and our crazy puppy is aspiring to be a first-rate therapy dog with Brett's help and expertise. We cannot thank him enough. I would HIGHLY recommend Rude Dog K9 Training! Oh, and I am an elementary classroom teacher so I understand how important transfer is. For example, students must be able to take what they learn and apply it. Because of our dog's excellent foundational training with Brett, that is exactly what Harper is doing as we continue her training at home. Go Dog Go!
If you are searching for a dog trainer then look no further. Brett will not disappoint you. He went over and beyond my expectations. Brett not only helped to correct my Golden Retriever’s behavioral issues, but trained Cooper on so much more, including building the confidence he lacked. He has also helped me understand that training the dog is only half of the equation. He trained me on leash handling and non-verbal commands as well. His facility is clean and well kept. He is very communicative and has always been more than happy to answer all my questions. Brett also took the time to send videos and pictures of the training sessions, which was a great way to see the progress Cooper was making each day. It is evident that he truly loves dogs and cares about their health and well-being. Thank you Brett!
I have a 5 year old male mountain cur mix who I thought would be impossible to train. We have tried so many things to train him but have had the most success with Brett! Scotty (mountain cur) gets very distracted and does not have the confidence to go through a walk without misbehaving. After a week with Brett, Scotty is much better at listening and completing commands. Today we took him out to a public park and he did not misbehave once. Thank you so much to Brett and his Rude Dog crew for helping train and take care of Scotty for the week!
