Top Dog Obedience / Top Dog Canine Classroom

We took our seven-month-old Golden Retriever to Top Dog with hopes to train him basic commands. We didn't realize we would be walking out of class each week with skills bonding us to Captain such as trust and loyalty. The dedicated Top Dog staff not only made themselves available to us, but also inquired weekly to help us become better dog owners. They are passionate about what they do and the results have tremendously exceeded our expectations. We are currently in our third set of classes and they have individualized techniques to help us with Captain's needs. We love and enjoy bringing him to different places where we are frequently complimented because Top Dog continues to give us the skills we need to have an obedient dog. Captain has transformed from a hyper, exuberant, and uncontrolled dog to a happy, well mannered, and enjoyable companion. He enjoys going to class and looks forward to training at home. Our experience with training at Top Dog greatly exceeds our expectations. We are excited to continue with agility and advancing through the different classes

In 2011 my wife and I purchased a 4 month old Miniature Poodle. This puppy came from a reputable breeder, and at this point, had not received any formal training. When we put a collar and a leash on her she was like a "wild horse" at the end of a rope! JoAnn Fine, of Top Dog Obedience, was starting a new "Puppy Class", so we called and signed up for the class!! This decision was one of the best things we could have done for our puppy, and for us! JoAnn's methods are clearly laid out, and the students leave class each week knowing what they need to work on, and how to communicate that to their dog! After our pup graduated from the Beginner's Class, we signed up for the Intermediate Class which took many of the things that we had learned in Beginner's, and expanded them into more advance training for the dog and the owner. After graduating from the Intermediate Class, we have enjoyed being instructed on how to use the Agility Course, which is on site there at Top Dog Obedience! As a result of following JoAnn's carefully laid out training steps, we have the most wonderful dog! She's obedient; she understands what we want from her and we just love her so much!
