Customer Testimonials

Hear what our clients have to say about their experience with Top Dog

Ben's firm but caring training has been wonderful for my highly reactive dog. My dog used to lunge, growl, bark and whip around on the leash if he even caught sight of a dog 20 ft away. Now I'm able to walk him in Home Depot and the farmer's market with minimal reactivity!

We have taken our Yorkie mix only a few times, but he is learning very rapidly, faster than we are😀.Ben is a very capable instructor, with easy to follow training.We highly recommend him. 👍 …
Gordon Strickling
Well Behaved Dog Owner
Ben’s approach to training is very efficient! He was patient and clear about expectations all throughout our training. His guidance and knowledge were extremely helpful! My pup and I are closer than ever and I genuinely believe it would have been much different if we hadn’t started training with Ben, Jordan, and Pike early on!
Kara Ferry
Well Behaved Dog Owner
Nala was his first student, we saw a dramatic change in her the first 2 weeks, we highly recommend Ben, Jordan and Pyke. Ben is very knowledgeable. We’ve had 3 different trainers in the past and Ben is by far the best. If you want a calm, submissive dog, give Ben a call.
