About Dogwood Training Center

Dogwood Training Center (Ostrander) is a rural 5-acre dog-sport facility north of Columbus, now centered on scent work and canine conditioning.

How they train

Sport-focused coaching in a safe, fenced rural setting with an indoor arena — a relaxed atmosphere for dogs and handlers to build skills. (Note: the owner is semi-retiring — agility classes have ended and most offerings are now for current students.)

Programs

Scent Work classes and occasional run-throughs (Saturdays, currently for Dogwood students), plus ongoing Canine Conditioning & Fitness. Agility is wound down and Barn Hunt is on hold. Contact directly for current availability.

Experience & credentials

An established central-Ohio sport facility (4.8 stars across 15 reviews) with a strong agility heritage, now focused on scent work and conditioning.

Who it’s best for

Best for sport-minded owners interested in scent work or canine conditioning in a rural arena — less suited to new agility students right now.

What they can help with

Agility & Sport
Agility training: handling, obstacles and confidence-building.

Barn hunt classes have been WONDERFUL for me and my dogs. The trials are run highly organized and you get run times that are spot on. My dogs have had tremendous success in those trials.
