Top Paw K9 Academy

I have been thoroughly impressed with Jen's expertise, thoughtfulness, and caring for all of her dogs and their people! She is also invested in making sure there is a transfer of training techniques to the owners so that they reinforce what is being taught by her. She is the BEST and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of help and support! We brought our Olde English Bulldogge puppy, Hank, home from Michigan last June and wanted him to become best friends with our 8 year old dog. Unfortunately, our senior dog wasn't so fond of him and had difficulty adjusting to the new puppy's energy. Hank became overly reactive and scared of so many things which likely occurred as a result of our older dog's displays of aggression toward him. We were at a loss for how to get the two of them to get along and were not sure how to move forward. I began google searching trainers and Jen and Top Paw stood out to us form the start. She responded immediately to our first email and reassured us that this was not a lost cause! We got Hank in to the board and train program and we have seen such a difference in his reactivity and his ability to regulate himself. Once he completed his portion of the program, we talked with Jen about working with both of the boys. She immediately took this on without hesitation and the boys are actually getting along (with some continued guidance!). She's even helping with picking them up and has gone overboard to make sure that they are getting what they need!

Jennifer is such a pro. We brought our Malinois-mix pup into Top Paw K9 when she was about 3 months to start getting her socialized to other dogs. Through a combination of the regular day care package and some additional training days, she mastered place, heel, recall and so many other good puppy manners so quickly. Jennifer and her team always take the time to record videos of how they work on new skills, and point out specific ways I can improve my handling. I would trust them with my pup every time and have recommended them to so many others!

I can’t say enough positive words about Top Paw K9 Academy. Our 7 month old puppy had horrible separation anxiety which severely disrupted our lives. Jen and her team worked so hard with Coco to help her learn to regulate her emotions and be okay with being left alone (as well as other behaviors all dogs should know!). Not only that, but we received constant updates on her progress which left us worry free! Jen and Top Paw K9 Academy are the best!!!

Jennifer is absolutely amazing! She has a heart of gold and is the most knowledgeable trainer you can imagine. We adopted a puppy from a shelter and he had extreme separation anxiety and was afraid of other dogs and new people when we brought him to her for her puppy board and train. We had also tried to potty and crate train him before bringing him to her and we had managed to get him to hate the crate and had failed completely on potty training and managed to get him used to going to the bathroom inside. Jennifer fixed everything and turned him into a confident and much calmer little pup. He's still a little afraid of strangers but we're working on that and he's got everything else down. All of her reviews are stellar because she's that good! We can't recommend her and her team enough. If you love your pet dearly, as we do, put your trust in her and she won't let you down.
