About Cincinnati Dog Training Academy

Method

Cincinnati Dog Training Academy, led by a trainer named Rickey, builds its program on a "positivity-based curriculum that is proven to build confidence, increase trust, and reduce stress." The positive-reinforcement framing is stated up front, which helps owners who specifically want a reward-based trainer self-select.

Services & setting

The academy offers multiple formats: flexible in-home training, group classes, and a Board & Train program described as 2-3 weeks of continuous training with daily work by behavior specialists, run from a Blue Ash location. It also mentions team training/team building and grooming, giving it a wider footprint than a single-service trainer. The site cites more than twenty years of experience and "thousands of success stories," a meaningful track record, though it lists no formal certifications (CPDT, KPA, etc.) on the page, so credential-focused owners should ask. With both at-home and immersive board-and-train options under a positive philosophy, it suits a range of needs from puppy manners to more involved behavior work.
