Absolutely recommend Top Dog for any service provided. Originally, what was meant to be about a week of boarding turned into a week’s intro course to the foundation of e collar training for our pup Brutus. Within this short time they had with Brutus, they laid the foundations for my wife and I to continue to build on. Not only did they send daily photo and video updates which reassured us he was getting the attention and training needed, but it also provided us a sense of reassurance he was left in very good hands. Now, training the dog is only half the battle so when we returned home they still had to train the trainer (my wife and I) on the proper uses and techniques of handling the e collar which was done effectively and efficiently. Ryan and his team are the only one’s we would consider for additional support for our dog Brutus! Thanks Ryan and Bre!

I’m absolutely over the moon about how responsive and professional this company is. We dropped off our dog for training before she was struggling to listen come back to us and allow us to take her out to places in public. Now she is a totally different dog responsive calm and very enjoyable to be around. Thank y’all so much yalls service has helped us out more than you know!!

We can not say enough good things about TOP Dog Training. We sent our 1 1/2 year old lab for basic obedience for 3 weeks and they updated us with pictures and detailed videos every step of the way. Ryan and Breanna are very professional and I would recommend them out to anyone! They left us with detailed plans and even access to their own app with videos for more information.

I cannot recommend these trainers enough. I have two hunting dogs ages 5 & 8, both great at their jobs, but I've never put real work into obedience training. For a while, I had the mindset that they were too old and set in their ways to truly learn the skills I wish they knew. I came across TOP Dog and enrolled in their 6 week program to see if it was something we could benefit from. All I can say is WOW. Every single lesson we did, I was just amazed at the progress we made. My dogs went from being an absolute nightmare on a leash to walking on a loose leash while staying engaged in SIX weeks. For the first time, I can truly say I enjoy walking my dogs on a leash. I also saw a 180 in how they react when guests come over with some other skills we learned. Throughout the entire process, Breanna did an amazing job explaining their behavior and patterns, as well as the methods she used to work through them. This not only helped me understand my dogs better, but also set us all up for success to continue training on my own. Something else that I feel is so important when looking for a dog trainer is finding someone who will hold you accountable. Keeping up with training at home can be hard with a busy schedule, but their app helps guide and troubleshoot between sessions so there's no guessing when you're on your own. The 6 week program also included phone calls between private sessions which helped ensure I am on the right path and gave me a little extra support. I cannot thank you guys enough!!
