Yes. I believe they have 2 locations where there do boarding. Don't quote me on this but I think they charged me $42 per night for my dog.

We rescued a dog off the street that we discovered very soon after had anxiety, overstimulation and fear. And sometimes it caused the dog to nip/bite. We named the dog Darby. Finding Darby a new home would be a major challenge so we had to get Darby help - some training. Shawn Thompson, owner and trainer of Top Dog Training and Boarding was highly recommended to us. We could not be happier with Shawn and Top Dog !!!! The entire experience was really great ! Shawn helped us understand and learn about Darby and how to actually make a difference for Darby. He helped both us and Darby ! We are forever grateful for Shawn and the entire Top Dog team !!!!

Right from the beginning I knew my dogs tracing would be successful. My trainer(Edgar) was calm and my dog responded to that. I learned things I needed to change in order for me to be successful with Bailey my dog. Great place for trading your dog.

Top Dog is the best in the business. To say that training for our dog was worth every penny would be an understatement. Everybody here is incredible. Shawn completely transformed our dog and removed aggressive tendencies that we’ve been working on for 4 years(with previous trainers) in just 6 sessions. Our dog also LOVED the training too! He taught us how to communicate with our dog in ways we never would have thought of without him. He is a true master of his craft. I can not express my appreciation for Top Dog Boarding and Training enough. This has been absolutely life changing for our family. Thank you everybody at Top Dog Boarding and Training!!

Edgar did an amazing job with our dog training, for for the 2 week boarding and training for our 6 month old puppy, AND for my husband and I. WOW… our puppy learned so much and has retained what she learned and we so appreciate the training we got for ourselves to reinforce what our puppy learned! We, 100% recommendations Top Dog and Edgar.
