I recently enrolled my 5-12 month old GSD pup in Jana's 2 week stay & train program. I cannot express how happy I am with the work the training she did so ensure we were staying on schedule. If you want a well trained dog with a person that cares and will treat your dog like one of her own I highly recommend Jana! Best care you can find I appreciate!
Michele Johnson
Carmen is amazing! I took her outside dragging her leash just in case. We went around to the front of the house and she was indeed released. Alex and I went to work on Christmas lights. Carmen laid next to us in the grass - no commands just laid down on her own. There were cars and trucks driving by, kids playing and making noise, 3 different dogs barking and she didn't move! I had my back turned to the sidewalk and didn't see a lady walking her dog until she was right in front of our house. I looked at Carmen, she didn't move or make a sound at all! Amazing this girl. It's not my intention to test her with a dog walking by without at least having a foot on her leash but she did amazing. You have done amazing with her. Thank you!
Grace Dugas
I reached out to Jana as a recommendation from my sister who she had gotten her GSD from. Beau had some unfortunate occurrences when he was a puppy with aggressive dogs that caused him to lose confidence and be uneasy around them. I couldn't take him on walks, go to the vet or anywhere without worrying about Beau barking or aggressive. Jana is an amazing trainer. Within a day she was sending me videos of Beau not only being tolerant of other dogs but also gaining confidence. Beau spent two weeks with Jana in a board and train program and it was the best decision I could have ever made for Beau. Beau has behaviors with me for eight years we were able to go on a long walk with another dog and by the end they were sniffing and interacting with each other. Jana not only improved my life but improved Beau's as well. Without hesitation I recommend her to help you conquer issues you have with your four-foot!
Maria Dunn
Jana Calarysch helped my dog with loose leash walking and one on one attention between just one visit. AMAZING! I used to dread walking my pup because I knew she would pull on the leash. Jana worked with my dog and with my husband and I and now I finally look forward to family walks. I can't recommend her enough! You’ll be pleased with her work. She’s so kind and patient and every going. Thanks Jana for helping us with Ranger.

Jana was so helpful with obedience training for our dog! She is friendly, professional and very compassionate towards dogs. She gave us very clear instruction on dog training and met us at 5 different locations to make sure our dog was exposed to different environments and still remained obedient. He was truly phenomenal in her program and is such a happy boy. We loved working with Jana and will continue to work with her when we have training needs in the future.
Chuck and Donna King
We've had dogs for years and have tried a number of training methods and programs. Most worked to some extent, some better than others! But, we never really ended up with a 'well-trained' dog we were hoping for. We started down the same path with our two German Shepherd puppies, Lud and Lett, but soon realized we needed something more. Discovering Jana was truly a blessing. We'd always heard that training a dog was as much about training you as it was the dog. Jana excels at both. Her instruction combines structure and discipline in a simple, easy to apply at home format. We were especially impressed with both how she stresses connection & praise as opposed to 'punishment.' Our puppies (and us) are still learning and they still have some growing up to do, but they (and us) are now armed with awesome tools to keep us started. We couldn't be happier with their progress and feel a great sense of relief in knowing we have a trusted resource in Jana going forward.
Melinda
Jana was fabulous with me and my dog, Jazz! Jazz is a rescue that was scared, had a broken leg and several other injuries. I reached out to Jana for help because he was scared and had the bite. 8 weeks have been nothing short of amazing! Jazz has lots of confidence, she listens well and I can walk her on a loose leash. Her favorite thing is recalls. I can't thank Jana enough for being such a compassionate trainer that worked at Jazz's level. If you want a well trained dog, I would HIGHLY recommend seeing Jana!
Cara
Jana is absolutely amazing! She has great knowledge, intuition, love, advice & training. We adopted a 1 yr old dog, Ozzie, in June and needed guidance and training. Ozzie is high energy and very intelligent. We heard wonderful things about Noble K9 and decided to give it a try. Jana trained Ozzie as well as my husband and I. We worked hard and experienced amazing results! Ozzie is off leash energy but we now have great control thru Jana's training, and enjoy him so much more. Jana also helped us introduce Ozzie to our little dwarf goats and our daughter's dog, in order to make sure everyone gets along peacefully! We are a success! Definitely recommend Noble K9, it's worth every penny!!!
Grant
I am so glad I chose NobleK9 for my dog's training. It was a really great experience. I have seen a real improvement with my shepherd after attending the program and putting in the practice required to see results. I went from a wild young pup to a much well mannered, calm and obedient pup. I can walk off leash in heel and not have to worry about the dog running all over. Her recall command is reliable, she is able to stay in the place I put her for however long I need. She isn't jumping on people anymore. I learned how to use different types of collars and leads correctly. I was taught how to use training aids and how to use food rewards and how to end training sessions correctly. Jana was always professional and courteous, the sessions were full and complete. She was flexible with my crazy schedule which was awesome. I am very happy with the program and would recommend her. I am seriously considering more advanced training in the future.
Andrea
I have a 16 month old shepherd and I want him to be a great dog no matter where I take him. I want him to walk without pulling on the leash and to ignore other dogs who might act up. In just a few fun sessions Jana has helped me learn what to do and how to be consistent for my pup. You know training is a little about training the dog and mostly about training the human, right! Well the pup is doing awesome and I sure am encouraged. Looking forward to taking him more places once his training and good behavior and doing more lessons. Jana is great, also to watch activities that he and I can do together. So pleased with everything so far and excited to do more later this spring.
Christina
Jana has been doing a great job with my stud and my young pup. She works hard and truly cares for my dogs as I would and look forward to great successes with them.
Shannon
Thank you so much Noble K9 for your expertise on training our Reese. I greatly appreciate your knowledge and patience assisting Reese and I on this journey. You are amazing! I highly recommend anyone who needs dog training to reach out to Noble K9, you will not regret it!
Denisa
Jana is awesome, she is super passionate about what she does and worked well with my Siberian husky Max. She is very kind and caring so that the animal understands what she is teaching it before handing them back over to the owner. I highly recommend her! Thanks for everything!
Michaela
I'm very grateful for the training, education, support and care that Jana provided with our Aussie. Jana improved the behaviors, training and confidence of our pup. Jana is very professional and definitely knows what she is doing. We are very happy with all the work she put into training.
Sybil
Jana has been absolutely amazing to work with! She is responsive to our needs before, during, and after bringing our dogs home. She taught me how to train our first dog and gave me the skills I needed to take home to all four of our German Shepherds. We now have two of her dogs and I highly recommend her to everyone I know who is either interested in long-coat shepherds or needs help with training. She is absolutely the best and the only person our family trusts. We are her clients for life!
Tina
Jana was confident and clear on the commands I needed to teach Kaya. I had high expectations in showing Kaya in conformation as well as Schutzhund and wanted to start her off on the right foot. Jana taught me how to schedule feedings and making sure she didn't grow too fast. Jana's knowledge of all things dog are impressive and go well beyond my capabilities and I'm so grateful for her passing on that knowledge to me! I highly recommend her to anyone who may just want a well behaved family dog for their kids or a top Schutzhund dog to show! I am forever grateful I had her as my breeder and trainer! Thank you Jana for your excellence in everything you do!
Steven Fuller
I can’t say enough good things about Jana. She really knows dogs and you can tell immediately that this is something she genuinely loves doing. She has a great way of reading each dog and figuring out what they need instead of treating every dog the same.
If you’re looking for a dog trainer in the Columbus area, I would absolutely recommend her. She does everything from puppy and obedience training to private lessons, board and trains, and more advanced training. She’s especially incredible with German Shepherds and working dogs.
What I like most about Jana is that she’s realistic. She explains what she’s doing, why she’s doing it, and what you need to do at home to keep the training going. You’re not just getting a dog back that knows a few commands.
I’ve been around a lot of dogs and trainers over the years, and Jana is someone I would trust with my own dogs without thinking twice. If you need dog training in Columbus or Central Ohio, give her a call.
Michael Sweazey
Jana at Noble K9 was exactly what we needed for our 15-month old Newfoundland puppy Ziggy. Like many people and being experienced Newfie owners, we thought we could train him ourselves, but Ziggy is a big, strong, strong-willed male.
Jana provided us the techniques, structure, and reassurance to work with Ziggy. Now we can walk him with no pulling, he is no longer reactive to other dogs, and is a pleasure to walk in public places where there are other dogs. As he continues to grow and is put in new situations we might use Jana’s services again to teach us more techniques to help Ziggy develop further.
Unlike other dog trainers we have tried where the trainer spends half the time showing off how their dogs are well-trained while ours gets bored, the entirety of our lessons were focused on us and Ziggy. Jana was also very accommodating about days/times and was very sensitive to the heat and how it would affect a big black Newfie.
We highly recommend Noble K9!
Morgan Carr
We couldn't be happier with our experience from Jana at Noble K9! From the moment we brought Nelli home, it was obvious how much time, care and dedication Jana put into training and preparing her.
Jana had worked with Nelli on the true training foundation (recall, sit, place, socialization, etc.) and we truly believe the early puppy training made a huge difference. You can tell Jana cares deeply about every puppy she places and the training she provides for them to have success with their new homes.
If you're looking for an exceptional trainer (and breeder), Jana is definitely it!
melissa wilson
We have a 7 month old Boxer puppy who’s a handful. We’ve done 8 sessions with Jana, and we’ve seen such a huge difference already! He’s calmer and has learned sit, down, place, wait, come, and loose leash walking.
The socialization Jana encourages has been one of the best parts. We now regularly take him to hardware stores, parks, and other public places. He’s gotten to interact with both people and other dogs during training, which has helped so much.
We’ve learned how much our own energy and consistency affect his behavior. We couldn’t be happier with the progress and would definitely recommend Jana to anyone looking for a great dog trainer!
John Moore
Working with Jana through Noble K9 Training has been one of the best things I’ve done as a dog owner.
After purchasing Jade from Jana, I decided to continue working with her through private training lessons, and I'm glad I did. I’ve watched plenty of videos and read a lot on my own, but I honestly learned more in one hour with Jana than I have from anything else. She explains things in a way that actually makes sense and gives you practical steps you can use right away.
What I appreciate most is that it’s not just about commands. She helps you understand your dog, your timing, and how to communicate better.
Jana is patient, knowledgeable, and easy to learn from. I leave every lesson feeling more confident and with clear things to work on.
If you’re looking for dog training that is practical, clear, and actually helps you understand your dog better, I highly recommend Noble K9 Training.
Rachael Fields
Jana was awesome to work with and made the whole training process feel really comfortable and doable. We chose the Elite off-leash program and she delivered everything she promised. She came to our home and also met us out in public, which was super helpful because she was able to work with us in real-life situations.
Each one-on-one session felt productive—she helped me correct behaviors as they came up and showed me new things to work on in a way that made sense.
I wanted my Giant Schnauzer to be more comfortable in public, which he is now. Jana introduced him to new situations and gave both of us confidence. My boy is now going out in public multiple times a week, walks calmly on a leash, and barely reacts to other dogs or people. At home, he stays in “place”, waits in down while I open the door to guests, and overall is less anxious.
Jana is patient, easy to work with, and just really good at what she does. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a more personalized, real-world approach to dog training.
Amy Krist
Worth every dollar! Jana worked with our teen daughter to train our female German Shepherd and it was a great experience. She is so knowledgeable and gets dogs to behave and have manners. We then bought a male German Shepherd from her and she completed the board and train with him. We now have 2 well-mannered dogs that can be around people and other animals without issues. Thank you Jana!
Brian
Jana trained clear and simple commands for our Dog Brian to follow. She socialize him allowing him to be more comfortable in public places and around new people. We are very happy with our experience at Noble K9 Training.
Heidi Meinhardt
We love Jana! She does a wonderful job!! Highly recommend her!
Roxanne Benoit
Excellent training experience! We left our 11-month-old Golden Retriever (Winnie) with Jana. Our biggest concerns were that she pulled on her leash and jumped on people. After 2 weeks, she is so much better. Training doesn't end with Jana though. You have to do the work also, and work with your dog daily when they come home. We have been doing that consistently and Winnie is really coming around. She understands her commands and has become much more manageable. Thank you, Jana!! Winnie misses you!
Amy Condorodis
Our puppy came home from her week-long training with Jana at Noble K9 near Columbus a “perfect puppy” She learned sit, place, loose-leash walking, recall, and “leave it” Jana even stopped her dangerous habit of eating everything off the ground (mulch included).
Phoebe now walks calmly, sleeps through the night, and is easy to manage. Jana’s communication about training was spot on, she sent videos so we could learn how to reinforce everything at home. She took a lot of time teaching me how to work with my puppy from proper leash corrections (you can’t learn how that feels that online!or from a book) and how to use the tone of my voice to be clear with what I wanted in a way that my puppy understands. If you’re looking for an experienced, caring dog trainer in Columbus, or are willing to drive from Cincinnati like I did, and you want puppy perfection, I highly recommend Jana and Noble K9! 🐾
Deborah Calderone
A great compassionate trainer with lots of knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a dog who needs any kind of training. From basic obedience to titling and Show ratings to behavioral problems. Jana Has done it all with great success…
Emily Macieiski
I took my GSD to Jana for a 2 week board and train and she did such an amazing job with him! She even sent pictures and videos throughout the training to update on how he was doing. I have recommended two others to her training program and both of their GSDs are doing wonderfully as well. She is a dog whisperer!
Dale Anne Davidson
Jana has been excellent to work with on training loose leash walking, auto sit, no jumping, recall and socialization! Our Winter, 18-month old female Berger Blanc Suisse, is a joy to walk now and to take shopping!
Mallory Watson
We absolutely loved training with Jana! We had our 4 month old Newfoundland puppy stay with her for 2 weeks and she came back with all of her basic commands AND crate trained!!! 100% recommend her!
Jon Enlow
Great experience!! I cannot recommend NOBLE K9 and Jana enough. Our 11 month old GSD, Hazel, just completed the 3 week Board and Train program with great results. Loose Leash, Obedience, Reactivity Desensitization, Off Leash, etc. Jana understands what it takes to mold these dogs into solid, "go anywhere" companions.
Em
I can’t say enough amazing things about Jana and the transformation she’s made with my dog, Remi! Before training, Remi was a bit all over the place—full of energy but hard to control, especially with recall. Fast forward 3 weeks with Jana, and I have a completely different dog (in the best way possible)!
Remi now has perfect recall, knows how to heel on walks without pulling, and listens so much better overall. I feel like we can finally enjoy walks and outings without stress.
Jana’s training methods were kind, effective, and tailored to Remi’s unique personality. You can tell she truly loves what she does and has a gift for understanding dogs.
I’m beyond grateful for her patience and expertise. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own while delivering amazing results, Jana is the trainer you need. Remi is happier, more confident, and so much better behaved—I honestly couldn’t have asked for more!
Katrina Altman
Working with Jana was a game changer in our lives with our dog, Jake (4 year old lab). Before training I would dread taking Jake for a walk. The moment the leash went on, he was pulling me down the sidewalk and I would actively avoid other dogs because of the way he reacted. By the time we were done walking it was complete frustration. After a short few months of training our experience with Jake is completely different. Jake and I just finished a very pleasant 4 mile walk where he was on my left side the entire time paying attention to me. He walked past dogs without making a scene and I was confident in walking past other dogs knowing I had the ability to handle the situation. The training was just as much for me and my husband as it was for Jake. I look forward to the many miles Jake and I now get to walk together.
Neel Pannu
We went in for weekly hour long training sessions with Peja, our 1.5 years old gsd. Jana worked her magic with compassion, respect and confidence. With Peja having undergone the obedience training, our lives have been paw -sitively impacted. :) we can take her to other houses and she follows her place command and stays calm. She doesn’t jump on my parents and her recall has been amazing. Thank you Jana!
William Beeler
Jana did an outstanding job training our Bernese Mountain Dog as well as training us how to work with him. She is so friendly and patient. She is kind, but firm when she needs to be. Our next dog will definitely be going to her too.
Brad & Lynn Beeler
Johnson Family
We brought Carmen for puppy training and had a great experience! Carmen is coming along wonderfully and with Jana’s guidance so are we as pet parents. Carmen has a high drive and Jana’s knowledge and experience has given us the confidence to be effective in training her. We look forward to our next phase of training with Jana and highly recommend her!
KURTIS MACLANE
We are very fortunate to have met Jana from Noble K9 Training - Columbus. We needed to put a strong obedience foundation on our young female for IGP. Jana boarded and trained our female for three short months. Jana took our female to a SV Trial and Show. Our female was awarded her BH and AD. The SV Judge gave our female very positive critiques. Our female came back healthy and with an extra 5 lbs. of muscle. Jana also did ring training with our girl and she was awarded a SG1. Thank You Jana G.
Jessica Baer
Jana is wonderful! Azi has learned so much from her classes and so have I. Azi is not quite 4 months old yet and he has learned several commands, games, and how to walk nicely with me. These will be such a big help when Azi travels to work with me. Jana is a great person and fantastic dog trainer!
Melinda Crabtree
I can’t say enough great things about Jana and the private training program that we just finished! Our dog Jazz was a very scared rescue that needed self confidence so she could be happy and well trained. I called Jana the week we rescued Jazz and we started the private 8-week program the next week. We just finished and we have a confident and happy pup! Jana worked on Jazz’s level, not pushing her given we didn’t know her background. Throughout training, Jana was compassionate and took her time with me and Jazz. I wish we would have known about Noble K9 training before, but if you need an exceptional trainer that loves your dog as much as you do, please call Jana!! We will miss seeing her each week! Even Jazz got excited when she saw Jana!! 🧡 I will always recommend Jana, she’s not only a fantastic trainer, she became a friend that I’ll miss seeing too!
Cara Sutton
Jana is absolutely amazing! She has great knowledge, intuition, love, advice & training.
We adopted a 1 yr old dog, Ozzie, in June and needed guidance and training. Ozzie is high energy and very intelligent. We heard wonderful things about Noble K9 and decided to give it a try. Jana trained Ozzie…as well as my husband and I. We worked hard, learned so much, and experienced amazing results! Ozzie is still high energy but we now have great control thru Jana’s training, and enjoy him so much more.
Jana also helped us introduce Ozzie to our little dwarf goats and our daughter’s dog, in order to make sure everyone gets along peacefully! What a success!
Definitely recommend Noble K9, it’s worth every penny!!!!
Jess Klinkert
I couldn’t ask for better trainer! Jana was absolutely amazing with my 10 month old service dog. I’m can’t wait to work with her again!!
Lindsey Villaloboz
Highly recommend Jana! Although she specializes in German shepherds she took on my pitbull with no problem. She gave me so many skills to train my puppy as well as how to manage unwanted behavior. My dog is only 7 months and I have received so many compliments on how well behaved he is! I feel so much more confident as a dog owner and I contribute that all to our time with Jana! I loved how she not only focused her training sessions on the pup but ensured that I was using correct techniques and proper body language to maximize his performance. You will not be disappointed!
Monroe Haus
Highly recommended!!

As a fellow dog trainer, I am impressed with how easily Jana connects with her clients and their dogs. Jana is a great listener with the ability to help people and their dogs have a better life together. If you live in the greater Columbus, Ohio area and need a professional dog trainer, give Jana at Noble K9 Training a call.
