I.. LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE Top Dog!!! They take such great care of my Topiee and every staff member treats her and praises her as if she was their own puppy. Ive been boarding and taking topiee to day school since topiee was about 4/5 months, maybe less, and she has been loved ever since! Top dog was such a blessing to find. They are super understanding and flexible. just all around an amazing place. And i love the pictures. I mean does her face look like an unhappy pupper?

We just got our pup back after her 4 week boarding school stay and she is the same energetic pup but with great manners!! I have a two year old daughter and four year old son and my puppy quickly began to outweigh them and was guilty of jumping on them, biting (playing but hurting), and furniture climbing (including tables and counters). Additionally she was awful on a leash. I was so stressed out by the time I dropped my pup off on her first day with Top Dog. Top Dog was incredible with communication. There were daily update videos and pictures as well as report cards. On my pups first day home, she has not attempted to climb on any counters or jump on me and my kids. Her leash training has improved so much that I took both kids and the pup to the park today with confidence! I now have the confidence to continue to maintain and further her training and learning. Thank you to Top Dog!!

They seem comfortable with my reactive-to-strangers dog, and I really appreciate that. They also always post pictures of my dog to Facebook, and it’s nice.
