TOP DOG TRAINING ACADEMY

Top Dog helped my puppy gain control of his behaviors and is now acting like a well mannered pet at home and in public. Cherrie is an awesome trainer and hope to bring all of my future pups to her as well.

We absolutely love Top Dog! Cherrie and her staff did amazing with Bentley. It was very obvious that they showed him lots of love while he was away from us. They kept us informed on his progress through texts and videos. We will absolutely use them again if we get another puppy.

Cherrie and her staff were great. Our Bentley came home with better manners and listening to commands. We are grateful for the contact we received throughout his training - texts an - to let us see his progress. It was also obvious how much love they poured on Bentley while he was away from his family. We highly recommend Top Dog for your training needs.

Bear and I had an amazing experience with TOP Dog. I definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you so much

Absolutely love Top Dog. Our ten month old lab/shepard did the 3 week training program and they did an amazing job! He is so well trained and Cherrie was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They send videos and pictures throughout the training and it makes you feel so proud of your pup to see the progress!

Our boy needed some home manners and after looking at several different trainers we decided to go with TopDog. We are beyond grateful and so happy with the training our doberman received. He is such a well mannered and behaved puppy now!

My pupper came home a new pupper! She listens and has manners now! This is truly life changing, more stress and frustration from dealing with an unruly hyper dog. Thank you Cherrie!!

We LOVE Top Dog Training Academy! We’ve used them for both our fur babies and couldn’t be happier with the results! Our newest rescue was showing signs of abuse and was struggling with some anxiousness. Top Dog gave our boy his confidence back and brought out his true personality.
The training staff is amazing and took care of our babies like they were their own. The best part is that when you use them for boarding, your pups can get refreshers on training too! 10/10 would recommend for your training and boarding needs!

Cherrie and everyone at Top Dog was helpful, friendly, responsive, and--most importantly--great at their jobs. My husband and I sent Sophie (6mo chocolate lab puppy with more good intentions than boundaries) to stay with Cherrie for a week and she came back so much better behaved!

Cherrie and the contract were very clear: the program will train your dog to obey them, not us the owners. However, with Cherrie's hands-on owner training and availability to answer questions and provide further guidance, my husband and I learned the ropes quickly.

When Sophie gets a little older, we are absolutely going to send her to stay with Aunt Cherrie again to continue refining manners and behavior. She will always be Sophie, but Cherrie is talented at training her to be the best Sophie she can be.

Having rescued Great Danes for 20 years, my wife and I found ourselves in unfamiliar territory with our latest rescue, Moose. Moose was our 7th and youngest rescue, 14 months old, and also our most aggressive Great Dane. Because of an incident with a grandchild, which involved a growl and a scratch, we did not know where to turn and by some miracle, stumbled upon Top Dog of New Orleans. Cherrie, the owner of Top Dog, was so sympathetic to our predicament and extremely communicative throughout the process. We had never given up on any of our rescues and Cherrie was determined to bring out the gentle giant in Moose. After nearly a month of intensive behavior modification, and as of today, January 1, 2026, almost 3 months since Moose graduated from Top Dog Training Academy, we are pleased and thankful to announce that Moose has become the gentle giant we all knew was deep down inside....

Top Dog is an excellent business. Luca still knows all his commands. And Lainey (Golden Doodle) is... well... we'll be sending her back in the near future 🤣

Miss cherrie is hands down one of the best trainers out there. Our vega came back a completely different dog in all the best ways. We have a baby on the way and was so nervous prior to this of having a big dog like Vega and a new baby. We are a lot less worried now, and we don’t have to worry about her jumping on my wife’s belly any more either. I do all the exercises miss cherrie did with her and she still does them I rarely have to use the e collar. Anyway thanks again we will always sing her praise.

Want to sing miss cherries praises where ever we can. She helped our big great dame become the family dog we always wanted her to be and knew she could be. We are more pleased then we could have ever thought of on the ride to pick our Vega up. I promise. You will be left mind blown as well with your dog. Thanks again!

Max came back a much calmer dog

Sherrie was very knowledgeable & intuitive to Koda’s needs. She told me how to handle commands when calling Koda. She also came back house trained. We have a schedule for eating & house training. Thank you Sherrie!

The trainer was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about helping my dogs succeed. I’m so pleased with the progress my Cane Corsos have made. They still have their fun, playful personalities, but now they’re much more disciplined and well-behaved.

Cherrie did an outstanding job with our Golden Retriever, Nola. In just two weeks, she taught her so much and helped correct several challenging behaviors. Nola had a bad habit of jumping on people whenever she saw them, but thanks to Cherrie’s training, she no longer does that. She’s still a work in progress, and we continue to work with her daily, but we would have never reached this level without “Auntie Cherrie’s” help. We highly recommend Top Dog Training to anyone looking for professional and effective dog training.

I had the best experience with Top Dog academy. They did everything in their power to make me happy and they get the job done. They work real good with your dog and helped them learn the commands My dog love Going to Top Dog Academy yes I would recommend them for your dog training and boarding experience
