Top Paw K9 Academy

Top Paw K9 is a total game changer! Jennifer + her amazing team helped to create a curated plan for my pup shadow to help with her anxiety which ultimately allowed them to help her training. They were patient with me as well and helped me to learn the process to keep shadows training in tact after the 4 week board and train. Before working with them it was really challenging riding an elevator in our building if other dogs were around and now she is able to ride elevators, walk on leash near other dogs and even have play dates with other pups. While the cost might seem intimidating at first, it is 100% worth it for you and your dog to get the right training that is curated to the dogs needs and your home environment. Best part is getting to reach back out if I have questions, and its comforting to know she can be boarded there when im out of town and have her training reinforced, and even get groomed before i pick her up!

I truly can’t be more grateful for Jen and team that trained my boy. I tried two trainers before i took my black lab puppy Mallard to them. Jen and her team actually were the only ones able to understand him. Finding a trainer for your dog is honestly so hard, you want to find the best person to send your fur baby to. She truly is the best in so many ways. She listened to EVERYTHING I asked for and made it happen in the week and a half he was there. Not only that but she made sure to send me so many pictures and videos updating me with every new technique. When I came to pick him up I saw he was truly loved and taken care of. Overall, he was a completely changed boy who listened off leash, knew many commands, and had so much more confidence. I would highly recommend her over and over again. Send your dog to Jen and her team. It'll be the best decision you've ever made for you and your fur baby!!!

Jen really cares about helping pups be their best selves. I have a 90lb Belgian Malinois and a 60lb Dutch shepherd. I took our Mal to her puppy training program after using her TikTok videos to teach him the basics andshe worked on not pulling on the lead, counter crawling, and a lot of the puppy items. He is my soul dog and she treated him like her own! After adopting our dutchie, we quickly learned she had a behavioral problem, where she would nip at people who came to our home. Having gone through every training bit I know and at my wits end, I reached out to Jen to see if she could work with her. Jen&her awesome team (shout out to Maddie, Jordan,and John) quickly diagnosed what was really going on and worked to correct the behavior. My dutchie’s previous protection training had left her insecure and she was nipping out of a need to feel in control. Through her board and train program time, our Dutchie learned how & when to bite and built up confidence. In turn, I was able to have regular visits to work with her on our bond and learned ways to improve through obedience work. My dutchie and I had an opportunity to attend a protection workshop with Jen and the guest instructor, Mike. It was through this, that we were able to really dive into my dutchie’s prior protection training and show her how it can be done in a more caring way. Jen and the entire team at Top Paw are all about positive training habits and it is truly the only way. If you are considering using them,especially if you have any sort of working dog, I would highly recommend Top Paw K9 Academy.
