Christina is awesome!! I have been Type 1 diabetic for nearly 62 years, since age 2. I am Hypoglycemia Insensitive and I struggle with extreme lows. After passing out one night and with my 7 year old granddaughter spending the night and knowing how it upset her so, my family decided it was time for some help. My daughter found Christina on line and she was so close to our home. I have had Ruby for almost 3 years now and because of the awesome training she received, I am doing much better with the lows. Yes, they still happen but Ruby is on it!! The girl knows what she's doing!! She had a spectacular trainer!!! Thank you Christina!!!!

Christina was amazing to work with! We had our 1 year old puppy in the board and train program. Our puppy wasn't bad, he was just overly excited about everything and everyone. I was worried he wouldn't be "fun" after the program and Christina assured me that wouldn't be the case. And she was right! What a night and day difference. He is more fun now because he LISTENS! She answered all of our questions and kept us in the loop during the training program. We would do it again in a heartbeat if we ever got another dog. Thanks for everything Christina! P.S. Maxwell says 'HI!'

Our dog, Pluto, was “good”, but we knew he could be more. We sent him to Top Notch to get even better, and I could not be happier!

Our dog, Pluto, was “good”, but we knew he could be more. We sent him to Top Notch to get even better, and I could not be happier! He already knew the basics: sit, down, stay - but we wanted the extra: heel and place. We got that and more. To be on a flat collar leash walk in a heel (no pulling!), in my parent’s backyard without him going in the pool, off leash with no concerns about him running off, on a bed or in his crate when we have guests so there’s begging - it’s amazing! I would go back in a heartbeat. I’m sad I don’t live closer - would have been so nice to have a reliable daycare/boarding situation, as I don’t trust easily when it comes to someone to take care of my dog. I would also recommend this for anyone with a dog at that rough teenager stage - when suddenly all those cute puppy behaviours are a little too rough as your dog grows larger. Wish I had done it sooner; Pluto was almost 3, and I feel like I could have had more years of this better behaviour! The head trainer, Christina, is very responsive while your dog is there to keep you updated, and the best part is she doesn’t disappear when you leave after 3 weeks! We’ve been able to keep asking questions to expand upon Pluto’s training at home. She’s upfront and honest about what your dog can do, and how to best work through different situations.

We have had the best experience(s) with Top Notch Service Dogs! She is a miracle worker! She equipped us and our Dog with the skills we so desperately needed. Our dog was taking over our life and Christina has help both the dog and us learn how to enjoy each other...like it's supposed to be. She's also always there when I have a question or concern. Follow up sessions are always encouraged so she can help us all keep growing and learning new things with our German Shepherd. We really would be in trouble without her....because she can forsee any issues long before we ever can.

Top Notch Board and Train program was a great foundation for Lucca's training. Christina taught him the basics. Of course when they come home you must continue with the commands they have learned. Before Lucca attended the program he would not walk on a leash. Today we take our daily walks which he now loves❤️
