Ohio State K-9 College

We recently got a 14 wk Dutch Shepard puppy- oh so sweet and very smart. I know I wanted a trainer who could go beyond the typical 5 commands as well as Quality being their number one priority.
When I came across Ohio State K-9 college, Joey’s philosophy and approach truly resonated with me, setting him apart from the typical shock collar board-and-train programs I’ve encountered. What attracted me the most is his emphasis on understanding each dog’s individual needs rather than resorting to one-size-fits-all methods.

His intelligent approach is evident through his extensive knowledge of various dog breeds and behaviors. With 47+ years of training experience, he brings a wealth of expertise that I find reassuring. It’s clear that he connects with dogs on a deeper level, fostering an environment of trust and respect rather than fear.

I’m excited to try his methods, as I believe they will not only benefit my dog’s behavior but also strengthen our bond in a humane and compassionate way. This trainer’s unique perspective is exactly what I’ve been looking for, and I am eager to see the positive changes in our pup.

Finding Joey Byas has truly been life-changing.

Over the past six years, I spent thousands of dollars working with four different trainers. Yet Joey taught me more about dogs — and the dog training industry — for free than all of them combined ever did.

He generously spent hours with me on multiple phone calls, sharing knowledge and insights that none of my previous trainers had ever explained. Everything he taught simply made sense and completely changed how I work with my dogs today.

My previous trainers relied on choke collars, prong collars, and E-collars. I was never fully comfortable with those techniques, but I didn’t realize there was a better way.

Thanks to Joey, I now understand how to properly train my dogs using his 100% VOICE CONTROL training method — the more effective approach I had always hoped for.

Joey is a true expert with an incredible passion for both dogs and their owners. His dedication, generosity, and willingness to help are unlike anything I’ve experienced in the industry.

I only wish I had found him six years sooner.

I am so EXCITED I found Ohio State K-9 College!! I have been training my Belgian Malinois, Nova, on my own, but I feel like I'm doing a disservice to her, and she deserves real, professional trainingn by a Master Trainer.

I have spent countless hours researching over several months, and it has left me more overwhelmed and confused than ever. Looking at all the different amateur training school options, not one of them provides all of the courses that Ohio State K-9 College provides, including the effective 1 on 1 training with the only Master Trainer in central Ohio.

When I found the website, I immediately closed all of my other tabs, because I finally found what I have been looking for. Just by reading the valuable information the website provides, I learned more in 30 minutes, than I did in hours and hours of research I have done in the past.

My dog is my absolute pride & joy, and my entire world. I will put anything & everything into her training – I just want to do it the best way possible, with a real Master Trainer (this makes a HUGE difference!!). She is an extremely fast learner, and deserves the absolute best!

I am ecstatic to have found Ohio State K-9 College!! I can't wait to work with Joe, his furbabies Sky (Sky is the limit!) & Star, and be a great part of their team! He spent a considerable amount of time explaining everything to me on the phone, and got me on his schedule within days! He also provides several of his classes for free!!! (socialization, housebreaking, obedience). I NEVER say that I am excited for Monday, but I am because thats when we get to start!!

READ the website, do you research and go to a real Master Trainer to give your furbaby the absolute best training experience possible!! There is only one Master Trainer in the region, and that is Joe!

Joe is truly a Master Trainer, very very impressed with all his knowledge and abilities. With over 48 years of experience he has a gift from above. I have 2 Belgian Malinois and he is going to get me trained to get them in 100% total control. So blessed our paths crossed.
I have used other trainers in the past and I had no idea that they were actually hurting my dog with the prong and choke collars. His training method is 100% voice control. Highly recommend going and checking his program.
Most people don't do enough research when they're choosing a trainer which is a huge and costly mistake. Do your research and choose wisely because it totally matters.

My husband and I went to Ohio State K-9 College today for an evaluation with our dog, and we were absolutely blown away. Joey was amazing — within minutes, our dog was obeying every command he gave, using nothing but the tone of his voice. No collars, no shockers, no hitting — just pure skill and knowledge.

We’ve read the incredible reviews about Joey, and today we saw with our own eyes that every single one of them is true. In just a few minutes, Joey had our dog responding both indoors and outdoors in ways we couldn’t accomplish in months on our own.

What makes Joey stand out is that other schools rely on spike collars, shock collars, or choke chains — but Joey doesn’t need any of that. He makes training look effortless, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re considering training, shop around like we did, and you’ll quickly realize why Joey is the only choice.
