We’ve left our adult American Staffordshire Terrier “Coheed” with Top Dog twice so far, once for a weekend and once for over a week and a half. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff and a friendly and helpful, the services they offer are perfect, and most importantly, Coheed always has a great time. We love that they send us check in emails so we know he’s being a good boy.

Our dog Henry (an English Springer Spaniel, more or less) has been a once a week Day School participant for over two years now and occasional vacation boarder. He loves it! The staff are clearly committed dog people. Upon arrival Henry usually walks around the counter to rub against staff members and always gets a friendly pat and a “Oh, Henry!” He’s been to boot camp there too for intensive training and graduated. Top Dog is also very diligent about health of the dogs and up to date vaccinations. Lucky to have them.

We picked up our girls today from a 7 day boarding. It was our first time away from them for that long since adopting them last year. We were really missing them, but top dog posted pictures on their FB everyday multiple times a day of their play/day school groups. It was so nice to see them happy and playing and working on good manners. I really appreciate that they do this! We have sent them to day school a few times leading up to this boarding and will continue to do so, as well as boarding. If you want to keep your dog somewhere safe and structured, this is the place to do it! Thank you top dog and trainers for keeping our babies safe and happy! And especially reinforcing good manners on top of it all!

This was Sandi's first time boarding with Top Dog Training & Resort but it will not be her last. We liked the daily emails with her report card status. The entire staff was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome.
