About Elevation Dog Training
Elevation Dog Training is a Columbus trainer run by certified professional trainer Amelia Nowlin, offering a balanced, communication-first approach that supports the owner as much as the dog.
How they train
A balanced method that gives dog and owner clear, consistent communication — establishing rules, then giving the dog immediate feedback on good behavior and mistakes, bridged with motivation. The premise: most behavior problems come from unclear expectations.
Programs
Obedience training, puppy preschool, and even nutrition analysis, with a free consultation to start. Contact directly for the full service list and pricing.
Experience & credentials
Led by Amelia Nowlin, Certified Professional Trainer (CPT). Clients repeatedly note her calming presence and strong support with reactive and excessively barking rescue dogs.
Who it’s best for
Best for owners who want a calm, balanced trainer who coaches the whole household — including puppy foundations and reactivity.
Early socialization, house-training and first manners for young dogs.

I’m so glad we chose Elevation Dog Training and worked with Amy for puppy training. She helped us build the right foundation from the start — puppy basics, leash walking, and core commands — and explained everything in a way that was easy to follow and actually fit real life.
I’m especially proud of how quickly our pup has adapted, and honestly, how much we learned too. Amy was clear, patient, and encouraging, and we saw progress fast without it feeling overwhelming. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trainer who really knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares.

My Belgium Malinois decided to write his own review about Amelia, his trainer, and here is what he has to say: "I'm writing this review during my 0.2 seconds of downtime so read quickly. I was excellent at training my human. Before Amelia showed up, my human did not understand the basics like I needed to run a lot and constantly stay busy. My basic sit, stand, heel commands were mastered. But then, Amelia started teaching me things like, "place", "take it and thank you" which I was surprised because I thought I already knew everything. My favorite part of working with Amelia is that she works fast enough to keep up with my brain. I appreciate Amelia for how patient she is and she truly seems to be impressed by my speed and intelligence. Would I recommend Amelia to other dogs? Absolutely! Would I allow other dogs to be better than me? Absolutely not. Thank you Amelia for engineering the best version of me.

ps. I still think zoomies are productive but apparently not everyone agrees.

Amy helped me with my dog so much. I had issues with being able to walk with her and walking now is so nice. She is so obedient and it makes walking fun. I also had issues with my dog jumping on people when they came in the house and now that is not an issue. Amy is fun and engaged and loved my dog like her own. She is so encouraging also. She will work really hard with you to achieve the goals you set. Thank you Amy.

We had such a great experience with Amy. She truly cares about the dogs she works with, and it shows in everything she does. Our dog, Maverick, responded to her immediately and followed her commands so well—it was amazing to see the progress even in a short time.

Amy was so sweet with my pup! He is a totally different dog after just 5 sessions. Looking forward to seeing how he continues to transform 😊 could not recommend elevation enough.
