About Family Dog Obedience & Training

About

Family Dog Obedience & Training is a Columbus practice run by Abby Taylor, who is named on the site as Owner and Head Trainer. The stated mission is to "help dogs and their humans build stronger relationships through positive, science-backed training that focuses on understanding—not force", and the site is explicit that nothing is off the shelf: "Because every dog and family is unique, we never take a one-size-fits-all approach."

Training

Four programs are published: a Puppy to Partner service dog program, board and train programs, private in-home training programs, and AKC Canine Good Citizen programs. Client write-ups on the site describe two-week board and trains with daily progress reports.

What owners learn

The site frames the work as two-way. It lists what owners take away: reading their dog's communication and body language, heading off unwanted behavior before it starts, communicating clearly, advocating for their dog in real-world situations, and building trust and teamwork. Support is described as continuing after the sessions end.

Specializations

Her own page names puppy development, family dog training and service dog training, with the last three years focused on service dog teams.
