Whether you have a puppy in need of foundational training or a mature dog with specific behavioral challenges, we offer a personalized, results-driven training experience that helps both you and your dog succeed.


  • What sets us apart is our commitment to clear, effective communication and our Trust, Obey, Perform method, which emphasizes building a strong relationship based on mutual respect.

Our goal is to help you create a well-behaved dog that is both a joy to live with and capable of achieving their full potential.


  • We also believe that training should not only correct behaviors but foster a sense of freedom and happiness for both dog and owner. That’s why we offer practical solutions that focus on real-world situations, ensuring that your dog can confidently interact with the world around them.

Head Trainer: Breanna Anderson

 

Our head trainer brings unmatched dedication and passion to every dog she works with. With years of experience caring for animals of many species, her greatest joy lies in helping dogs—especially those from shelters and rescues—reach their full potential. She has personally rescued multiple dogs and even trained some to become service dogs, showcasing her deep commitment to improving their lives and strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners.


Her expertise shines in in-home integration training, where she specializes in guiding dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and aggression toward a balanced, confident life. Sought out for her patience and professionalism, she has become an incredible asset to the company, and transformed countless dogs into well-adjusted family members through tailored training programs and compassionate care.


What sets her apart is her ability to connect with each dog she meets, lighting up with enthusiasm and determination as she discovers their unique personality. Her goal is to help every dog and owner create a close, trusting relationship, ensuring that both thrive together. When you work with her, you’re not just getting a skilled trainer—you’re gaining a partner who is deeply invested in your dog’s success.

Owner: Ryan Loseke

  

As a Special Operations military veteran, I bring a unique blend of discipline, expertise, and passion to dog training. With over a decade of experience working alongside the world’s finest Multi-Purpose Canines in SOCOM and 15 years of instructing in High-Risk Training environments, I have honed the skills necessary to simplify complex tasks and teach difficult concepts on accelerated timelines. 


My journey with dog training began in childhood, growing up with pet dogs, and became a serious pursuit in 2014 with my own pair of German Shepherds. Today, I’m the proud handler of two highly trained working dogs—a Belgian Malinois and a Malinois/Dutch Shepherd mix—and I look forward to entering competitive training upon my military retirement. 


I know how much a well-trained dog can improve life at home, creating a calmer and more enjoyable environment. This all brings us to why I started TOP Dog Training, I’m committed to helping others build that same bond with their dogs through our proven approach: Trust, Obey, Perform—the core of everything we do.
