    We love Top Dog! If you want peace of mind, I highly recommend Top Dog. They’ve been a massive part of our dog's life for over 4 years, through puppy school, walking classes, and now regular ranch outings 3 days a week. The bond she has with the Top Dog team is incredibly special.

    They’re accommodating and communicative with scheduling and focus on safety. They are brilliant at managing dog dynamics, making sure every dog is grouped with similar temperaments. They genuinely put the happiness and well being of the dogs first and we’re lucky to have Natalie and the Top Dog team in our dog’s life.

    Best place to let your dog go for day trips to a ranch. They pick up and drop off the dogs from your home.

    I had my first young puppy in almost 30 years and knew I needed help in getting her well trained. She started in the Top Dog Head Start program as an anxious pup and has now grown into a more confident little bestie. Mike is such a knowledgeable trainer and his expertise and dedication is worth every penny. He send daily videos with the skills they work on so you can see progress and practice at home. The investment during your dog’s formative weeks/months impacts their whole life. I can’t recommend Top Dog Head Start highly enough!!
