About Professional Pups Dog Training LLC
Professional Pups is a Grove City, OH dog trainer (serving Columbus and the western and northern suburbs) run by Blayke Austin, known for fully customized programs and direct owner involvement from start to finish.
How they train
Blayke works with you throughout the whole process rather than handing the dog back "trained" — training is tailored to the dog's personality, your lifestyle, and your goals so the results last beyond the program. It begins with a complimentary in-person evaluation and includes lifetime follow-up support after training ends.
Programs
Board-and-train, basic and advanced obedience (including off-leash work), puppy development, and behavior modification for reactivity and aggression. Serves Columbus plus Upper Arlington, Hilliard, Dublin, Worthington, and Pickerington. 6120 Jackson Pike, Grove City.
Experience & credentials
Blayke Austin has nearly 10 years of professional experience and completed the Master Trainer Course at the National K-9 School for Dog Trainers (October 2016), with ongoing continuing education through annual seminars. 614-629-8466 ·
Who it’s best for
Best for owners who want a single, hands-on trainer and a customized plan with lifetime support — good for off-leash goals, puppies, and reactivity or aggression cases. Less ideal if you want published pricing or a large-team facility option.

We have had and continue to have an amazing experience with Blayke at Professional Pups! We had one dog there for board and train and now are continuing with private lessons for our other dogs. Blayke’s level of knowledge as well as passion for what she does is unmatched. She has been so involved and helpful throughout the process and we are so thankful for her and her staff. Our sweet boy Ollie has benefited so much from her expertise and training! I would highly recommend Professional Pups for your training needs.
My dog attended the residency program with Blayke. My dog struggled with confidence, needed to build resilience, and to de-escalate her territorial behaviors inside the house. She is in her last week of residency now and is doing great. The program overall has been wonderful for her. I struggled with changing my mindset so that I could be a better, more balanced owner. Blayke was patient and supportive but honest with me which I really needed. I can't speak on the final product because both my dog and I are still growing but we are headed in the right direction! I can see where Daisy and I will be if I continue to incorporate what Blayke has taught us.
If you're looking to get your dog trained, just go with Professional Pups!! We did the 3-week lifestyle program and we are AMAZED. It's funny, we now can't imagine NOT having Bentley trained. We shopped around prior to signing up and we are so glad we went with Blayke and Professional Pups! And trust me, we had our worries about general dog training (boarding, ecollar, slip collars, etc etc). Put that all to the side and just DIVE IN. Our lives are already changed and we are already planning on bringing our second furry child.
ALSO, it didn't feel like Bentley was just another dog to Blayke at all. We are so happy with our experience! We can't recommend Professional Pups enough!!
p.s. – the pupdates at the end of everyday were the BEST!
Blayke and her team are incredible. Blayke’s puppy lessons set our dog up for success and he is an incredible dog thanks to all she’s taught him (and us). Her socialization classes are a fun, safe way to teach your dog how to properly play. Plus, you get some steps in too!
Would 100% recommend Blayke and Professional Pups! Our 7 month old puppy had SEVERE crate anxiety (along with a few other bad habits). We used the residency training program and with the training and suggestions from Blayke, he has improved so much. Professional Pups tailored the training to our needs and lifestyle – they don't use a "one size" approach and are incredibly responsive to questions. We received daily updates and check-ins regarding our dog's progress and the training provided in our "going home" lessons was specific to our family's learning styles. The techniques and recommendations really helped us to see the corrections we needed to make in our own behaviors, as well as our dogs', in order to achieve the goals we wanted to see our puppy meet. I always felt our dog was receiving the best care and attention when he was with Blayke!
