Shari Helwig

Certified Dog Trainer, Columbia Station, Ohio

I’m Shari Helwig, owner of InTune Dog Training, and I’m here to help you and your dog build a foundation of connection right from the beginning.

I was that girl who brought home every stray dog that I encountered.  My family lived in the country, and it was not uncommon to find dogs wandering around on our property. So, I would get them to follow me home and beg my parents to keep them.

For quite some time, my love of dogs had me wanting to become a veterinarian. Instead, I went to school to learn how to do hair.  Long story short, your true passions always find you again.

While I’ve had dogs my whole life, that doesn’t mean they were always the best-behaved dogs. Before getting into training, I thought that if I loved them enough, they would listen to me and do what I wanted. I found out—it doesn't work that way!
