About Boop K9 Dog Training

Overview

Boop K9 Dog Training is a Columbus-based program led by trainer Andrew Kurtz, working out of a dedicated, training-focused facility on Hard Rd. The business centers on helping families build a stronger relationship with their dog through clear communication, structure, and trust.

Services & Approach

The program covers puppy training, general obedience, off-leash obedience, and behavioral work including reactivity. Beyond pet manners, Boop K9 also offers more specialized work: service dog training and personal protection, along with tracking, trailing, and scent detection. The training philosophy emphasizes emotional awareness and meeting each family exactly where they are rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Background

Andrew Kurtz first launched a training business in 2016 and returned his focus to dog training after a period away. He holds credentials through the National K9 Master Trainer Program across advanced obedience, off-leash obedience, tracking and trailing, scent detection, service dog training, and personal protection, alongside a background in psychology and counseling.

Our pups have been visiting Top Dog Plain City location since they opened and love it! They run in the door and just plop their front paws on the counter – they love all of the staff and playing with dogs there. We have boarded them a lot in addition to going to daycare regularly for over 2 years. We are so happy to have them as part of our dog family!

Top Dog Daycare is top notch with the dog care they provide. They screen dogs to ensure the safety and well being of all their dogs.
My dog Samson had a successful first day of daycare. What's great is you can watch how your dog is doing since they have video cameras all throughout the play areas.

Top Dog works really hard to provide their clients with a high degree of professional service. Their health requirements and screening is top notch – illnesses can pass so easily at daycare but Top Dog goes above and beyond to ensure all dogs at their facility are healthy and ready to play which is so reassuring. Our pooch was treated with care and love and we were very pleased with our experience!
