Top Paw K9 Academy

I just rescued my dog 3 months ago, thank goodness for Jen and her team at top paw. I can’t thank them enough. When I first adopted him he was so anxious, scared of everything and very reactive. They helped him to feel more confident on and off a leash and taught him that there was nothing to be anxious or scared about. I can’t thank her and her team enough for such a great experience and giving my dog the opportunity and encouragement that he needed to be the best dog I could have asked for. Jen’s passion for training is unlike any other trainer I have been to in the past. Her and her team are very knowledgeable and compassionate. Thank you guys again!

I have to give a huge shoutout to Jen and her incredible team! The change in my dog, Nala, has been amazing. Before coming to Jen, Nala was scared of new people and places. It was a big deal for her to let anyone, especially a guy, touch her or show her affection. But when I picked her up from Jen’s I was blown away to see how much she had bonded with one of the trainers, John. It was clear that she really trusted him and felt comfortable around him, which was a huge step forward. There is a huge difference in Nala’s behavior. I took her to Fort Collins after picking her up and she was relaxed around people and didn’t mind when strangers were walking by or lingering nearby. Jen’s work really boosted her confidence and helped her handle new situations much better. Jen and her team also went above and beyond in ways I didn’t expect. Nala needed to see the vet a few times, and Jen’s team handled all the last-minute trips and calls with such professionalism and care. For sure would love to bring Nala back for more training in the future. The dedication and time Jen and her team put into their work made a huge difference for Nala, and I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done!

We found Jennifer online and even though she lived states away, we just had the sense that she would be able to help us work through some big issues with our puppy Miss Rhaenyra. From the time she was rescued, she was very standoffish, was uncomfortable around people and overall hated being handled. She escalated to biting with no bite inhibition and would hold on. We were told from a vet (whom we stopped going to) and others that she was just aggressive and it was only going to get worse. By the time we met Jennifer, we had already seen 3 trainers. Nothing was working. Even remote, Jennifer immediately knew that before we did anything, we needed to work on our bond. She helped us create a routine that helped make our dog more confident, more comfortable and ultimately led to a huge shift in how she managed her big feelings. We were told by so many people to just make her do what we wanted - she’s a dog. Jennifer knew better - Renny needed us to go slow, work with her and accept that there were things she needed a little help with. She’s now about 1.5 years old and she’s a dog that greets everyone, she loves to give all the kisses and love to anyone she meets and she cuddles with her humans at home - something we never thought possible. She was just scared and needed someone who understood her and that was Jennifer. Cannot recommend her enough. Hope we can make it out to CO someday soon to formally work with her! Thank you ❤️
