Paramount Dog Training

Balance-Focused Obedience and Behavior Modification

Paramount Dog Training in Columbia Station, Ohio is owned and operated by a trainer named Mel and bills itself as a top-rated dog training and behavior modification business "focused on restoring balance to dogs and their owners." The tagline "ANY breed. ANY age. ANY issue." reflects a broad-intake approach, with training plans designed around the individual needs of each dog and owner.

Background and Programs

Mel's story, shared on the site, began over two decades ago with a Siberian Husky named Sluggo and a self-described journey into dog psychology and pack behavior. The site states Mel is a graduate of National K9 in Columbus, Ohio and trained under several mentors and at training conferences. Services include puppy classes, behavior problems and modification, advanced obedience, on- and off-leash obedience, a distraction class, and breed/breeder reference. Training is offered group or private and is described as conducted by a Certified Trainer.

The site notes Paramount is recommended by many veterinarians, kennels, and groomers in its service areas, and highlights a long-serving volunteer, Edwina Hawkins, who helps coordinate puppy, distraction, agility, and rally classes. While the site references a Certified Trainer, it does not name a specific certification body, so none is listed.
