Enriching your dog's life, one adventure at a time!

Regular exploratory walks help to prevent undesired "problem behaviors" caused by boredom like barking, inappropriate chewing, and escaping while working to improve problem-solving skills, builds confidence and allow your dog to engage in natural and instinctive behaviors (like foraging, sniffing, and digging).

1.

Evaluating Your Dog

If you have not worked with Top Dog in the past, you will be asked to schedule an evaluation for your dog before scheduling any Training Walks or Explore Sessions. These evaluations allow our trainers to meet you and your pup, determine your dog's current skill level, and assess responses to various distractions.

Evaluations also allow our trainers to go over our effective, humane, and scientifically-backed training methodology and expectations. In an effort to keep safety at the forefront of our training, as well as get the most out of your training experience, we ask that these methodologies be upheld outside of our sessions as well.

Humane Training

Essential to a well-adjusted, happy, and confident dog

In an unregulated industry such as dog training, it is important to know the facts regarding methodology and how tools and technique affect your dog's mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

Both the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association have released statements addressing the benefits of humane training methods, and the unintentional fallout of more "traditional methods.
