I would highly recommend Bryce and Total Dog. We adopted a 1.5yo German Shepherd mix who showed signs of trauma and lack of training. We needed help with her on leash, barking at strangers and dogs, and with guarding tendencies towards our other pup. After 2 weeks of boarding, she came back with significant improvements. Much calmer in high stimulus situations, responds to commands more effectively, and overall a more relaxed demeanor. Bryce has also made follow up visits with her to make sure the lessons are being supported and her improvement continues to grow. Thanks TD!

Rae and I are learning a lot. Brice makes it easy one step at a time and building on each success.

Brice was helpful and kind through every step of the process. I was fearful I wouldn’t complete the training in time for my trip but luckily Brice made time and we got it done. The training has helped in so many ways. I get consistent comments on well behaved my pup is.

Brice absolutely rules. I had no idea what I was doing with Bear (who is a dog), but Brice taught me how to teach Bear to be a GOOD BOY. We went through the basics (sit, place, recall) but also learned the fundamentals of teaching new commands (shake, roll-over, and even training him to be the ring-bearer at my wedding). All in all, Brice rules. Worth the investment, especially realize he's training you just as much as your dogs.

After trying at least 3 other trainers for my dog, I finally found Brice and Top Dog. He helped me to understand how to control my dog and apply the lessons in real life situations. And his continued support has been incredible. It was a great experience for both my dog and me!
