At TOP Dog Training, we offer a proven approach to building a well-trained dog you can rely on in any situation. Whether you’re looking for basic obedience, advanced off-leash training, or behavior modification, our personalized programs deliver real, lasting results. With our Trust, Obey, Perform method, we focus on clear communication and effective techniques that transform your dog into a confident and well-behaved companion. Don’t settle for frustration or uncertainty—enroll today and experience firsthand how a well-trained dog can bring peace of mind, greater freedom, and more joy to your everyday life.
Our Basic Obedience Training is the foundation for a well-behaved and happy dog. Through expert guidance and proven techniques, your dog will master essential commands, including Recall (Come), Sit, Down, Stay, Heel, and basic leash-walking skills. These fundamental behaviors not only enhance your dog’s manners but also create a strong communication bridge between you and your furry companion. By completing this program, you’ll gain peace of mind and trust in your dog's behavior!
This package comes with 5 one-hour sessions (at a discount from buying one at a time) scheduled at your convenience either in your home, or in a public setting. In these sessions, we teach your dog while also teaching YOU the owner the 'why' behind the techniques so that you can continue to reenforce the new behaviors even after we've left. (But of course we are always just a phone call or message away for help!)
This is the no-fail approach to obedience with your dog. And yes, it really is UNLIMITED. We will come to you as many times as the dog needs or as you feel is necessary, for the LIFE of the dog. These are actual LESSONS, not just refreshers that we include in all our contracted packages.
We bring the dog into our home and integrate them into our personal lives and dog pack to fully immerse your pup into an environment where they can build confidence and healthy structure. This is the most effective way to teach a dog but also takes the most time. We only accept 2 dogs at a time to ensure they feel fully loved and cared for. This package is what the Trust, Obey, Perform model was built off of. (2 weeks is an estimate, we base timelines on RESULTS)
Similar to a basic obedience course, this course is geared towards puppies (8 months and younger) and teaches obedience and confidence to give the young pup a solid foundation to be a well-balanced family pet. This is one of the BEST ways to set your puppy up for success over its life! (This training is SOLELY based on how the puppy responds to training and confidence building, usually 1.5-2 weeks)
Our Behavior Modification Training goes beyond quick fixes with a personalized plan for your dog's unique challenges. Whether excessive barking, anxiety, or aggression, we analyze patterns, address triggers, and rebuild your dog's foundation to foster trust and stability. This isn’t a 2–3 week “band-aid” solution—it’s a transformative process, equipping both you and your dog with tools to thrive. Using Trust, Obey, Perform methodology we ensure your dog becomes confident and balanced.
For behavior issues, private lessons aren't usually the best fit, it takes time, and repetition to teach structure, and confidence to your pup and break through the current bad habit cycle. This is another time when we've found integrating the dogs into a structure based, loving home allows for constant, 24/7 re-enforcement of good and wholesome behaviors instead of the problem ones. (3 weeks is an estimate, we base all timelines on RESULTS)
Elevate your dog’s training with our Advanced Obedience and Off-Leash Program. For ultimate control, even in distractions, your dog will master Long-Distance Recall, Stay, Leave It, Focused Heel, Retrieve, Drop It, and advanced leash-walking skills. They’ll also gain the freedom to confidently walk and run off-leash under your command. Become a team in any setting and enjoy more freedom, trust, and shared experiences.
Package of 5 one-hour private lessons done either in your home, or out in public teaching our more advanced skills AND how to do/reenforce them after we leave. Can you teach a dog to perfectly execute a complex task in just one hour? I don't think that's the point, we introduce the dog to the behavior, and we teach YOU how to manage/teach your dog those new skills over a multi week time period.
For those that want to just get it done and have an incredibly confident, off leash trained dog they can depend on in all different scenarios and spaces. Let us do the work and show your dog how rewarding it is to be free to interact with his/her world confidently and by your side at WILL, rather than just because they are tied to you by a leash. (3 weeks is an estimate, we base all training timelines on RESULTS, not cookie cutter schedules)
