I didn't get the job with them when I interviewed. I'm glad i didn't I heard a lot of bad things about that place.

Top Dog Training is the absolute BEST! My wife and I now have our Buck back home and thanks to the professional trainers at Top Dog, he is behaving, listening to commands, and displaying himself like a brand new proud Husky. Bucks negative traits have all but disappeared. If you are considering hiring a trainer, look no more. Their Facebook page is filled with smiling and happy puppy faces that speak volumes about the training they receive, the fun they're having, and the love they have received. We received daily videos, pictures, and report cards that kept us informed of Buck's progress. We were blessed the day we found Top Dog Training . Thank you all so very much.

Horrible customer service! Just had a friend drop her dog off TWO DAYS in a row for a bath & grooming. Picked up the dog yesterday and they said he wasn't done because "our groomer had to leave early." ONE GROOMER?! And no phone call. Today she picked up the dog and AGAIN it hadn't been washed OR groomed!! UN-washed and whole tufts of fur coming of the dog! And no apology or reason or even an offer of being comped. I am letting anyone I know with a dog to avoid this place.

Our golden trained here for 3 weeks and she learned all the commands well. However, she is smart knowing when she needs to listen and when she doesn't. In terms of boarding and day care, it is fun to play with other dogs!

We love Top Dog—and more importantly—so does our dog. We board him pretty often since we travel a lot for sports and he always comes home happy. We love knowing that he is well cared for while we are away. The report cards for day school is a plus—thanks for providing a great service, y’all!
