Mountainshack Dog Training

Most folks will try to walk across the easier path, or the path of least resistance. My dog? Trudged straight through the muddy water. Why? Because she wanted and it was more interesting to her. This reminds me of a common issue we humans have:

Comfort can creep up on us in ways that keep us from experiencing the exhilaration life naturally brings with its ups and downs. We spend more time avoiding life than embracing it. Our dogs are the perfect example in our lives that life is to be met with unapologetic acceptance and warm curiosity to ALL life has to bring. Not just the tail-wagging moments, but relishing in the sweet, simple, small moments we experience every single day. What a blessing to go through this life with creatures that constantly remind us to let go and have fun!

Had an amazing weekend hitting the trails in Hocking! If you and your dog aspire to be “trail-heads” like Lola and I, send me a message or leave a comment and we can talk dogs 🤙🏼

Never stop being curious, never stop showing up for yourself ❤️
Swipe to the end to see evidence our dog was raised by cats 😂

Hey everyone, I’m Joseph, and this is my dog Lola.

After nearly five years of working hands-on with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, I’ve started something of my own: MountainShack Dog Training.

My approach isn’t about quick fixes or perfect obedience. It’s about understanding the “why” behind your dog’s behavior, and learning how your energy, your timing, and your relationship play into it all.

I see myself less as a dog trainer, and more as a coach for the human side of the leash. My goal is to help you read your dog, connect with them on a deeper level, and build the kind of calm, confident partnership that makes everyday life better for both of you.

If you’ve been struggling with reactivity, leash manners, or just feeling disconnected from your dog, I’d love to help.

🐾 MountainShack Dog Training is now officially open and taking new clients in Columbus, Worthington, Westerville, Dublin, and surrounding areas.

Let’s build something great together.
You bring the effort, I’ll bring the guidance.
