TOP DOG TRAINING ACADEMY

Our trainer Chris was absolutely phenomenal! Kept us up to date with e-mails and videos and was very accessible. Did a great job! Couldn't believe how much our puppy learned in such a short amount of time.

I love the change in my baby. He was so scared every time someone would come visit. Tonight his second night home a man came to visit and he actually jumped up by him and licked his arm. That brouytears to my eyes! I will forever be grateful for Chris and Top Dog Training Academy!

Shelby did an amazing job of making us both comfortable throughout the entire process! From the moment I dropped my dog off to the day I picked him up, I felt confident that he was in the hands of someone who would treat him like family. I’m so grateful to Shelby and Top Dog for the lessons Wally has already learned and the training they were able to transfer to me in such a short time.

Very pleased with Rex’s results. Our trainer Chris was very nice and professional. Rex is doing very well. A+++++

Very pleased with the job that Chris did with Rex. Our experience was very pleasant. Rex is doing very well. Chris was very professional and kept us informed of Rex’s progress. A++++ Thank you!

Erin Creel at Top Dog Training Academy was absolutely amazing with my baby, Gracie. Gracie is a 1.5 year old Maltipoo who would follow the air command only with a treat. We did the 2 week boarding training and I was shocked every day that Erin sent an update! I couldn’t believe this was MY dog! We got her back 2 days ago and she has been so great with all of her commands! I would 100% recommend Top Dog Training and Erin to anyone!

Top Dog training is awesome. Chris is professional, understanding and individualized our training. He took excellent care of our Bella. Money very well spent. Chris made us feel like part of a family of unlimited resources. Thank you Top Dog - your name says it all!

I was so impressed with their professional conduct and true desire to work with my dog . My trainer was Chris and I couldn't have been more pleased. I received texts and videos nearly every evening. I couldn't have chosen a better training school than Top Dog. I highly recommend them. You can't go wrong with Top Dog. My name is Ken, and I think they are the best. Thanks Chris for your dedication. Ken C

I loved Top Dog TRAINING ACADEMY in every way & would highly recommend them! They were professional, thorough with the training, treated my dog awesomely, my dog is a better dog and is listening very well! I could not have asked for more!

We did the 3 week board and train with Top Dog Academy with Shelby. It’s hard leaving your pup with someone you don’t know, but this turned out to be a great experience. We got frequent update photos and videos showing progress, and it was clear from the first that the dogs loved being with her, which really made me feel much better about leaving them. They’ve just been home for a couple of days, but it’s clear they’ve learned tons. (And hopefully I’ll be responsible enough to keep it up!) I’d 100% recommend Top Dog and use them again. Shelby did such and awesome job and made this a great experience for us and the dogs. Thanks!!!!

Shelby was a wonderful trainer. She treated the dogs like family. We received updates and videos often and the improvement was amazing. The dogs absolutely loved her. I would recommend her to anyone.

We tried two different trainers with a different company and were unsuccessful. TopDog had my reactive dog for two weeks now and there is a clear difference in training and success. They are awesome.

We cannot recommend Top Dog enough! Ashlyn and Amanda were AMAZING with our 10 month old goldendoodle. We dropped off a wild, high strung dog who couldn’t hold a command for two seconds and she came back completely transformed into a well-mannered dog and carried over her skills beautifully in our home. It was the best money we have ever spent!! We love our sweet doodle 100x more after receiving Top Dog training!❤️

Roux was a stubborn puppy with jumping on people, not listening, and leash pulling. He was also very mouthy with the hand nibbles. Shelby did an outstanding and amazing training with Roux. A completely different dog. He listens mostly on the first verbal command now with hand signals. The hard part is as dog parents to continue with the information and tools provided in training. This program works!!!! Knowing I can always get assistance when I need help is invaluable especially as Roux transitions from puppy to adult. Shelby and Top Dog are exceptional!!! If in doubt, call them.

Shelby and top dog training academy were amazing! They trained our hyper golden doodle into knowing and following commands with ease. We received regular video and picture updates that reassured us our dog was getting lots of training and lots of love! Shelby paid attention to our special needs and focused on compatibility with our family. Her communication was above and beyond. We tell everyone we know about top dog training academy and how much we love it!

Kayla in Clanton turned our 7 month old Doberman Pinscher from a Dobershark/Velociraptor to a SUPER protective EXTREMELY well behaved cuddle puppy 🐶 ❤ THE ABSOLUTE BEST MONEY WE'VE SPENT ON OUR BABY!!! And I spoil this dog with EVERY dog box subscription out there 🤣🤣🤣

After sending my black lab to training twice before, with no lasting results, I decided to give it one more try...3rd time's the charm right!! Shelby was our trainer, and she hit it out of the park with Bailey (5 years old and kind of set in her ways). Bailey is an energetic, extremely affectionate but hard to control 65-lb baby. She did what so many labs do, "hug" the humans they love, which with me turned into deep scratches on my arms (adorable but painful). She charged in the house like a bull in a china shop, and I'm sure we looked like Marmaduke and Mom when Bailey walked me...nearly pulling my shoulder out of socket.

Bailey went to stay with Shelby for the 2-week basic training. I had high hopes, but did still have doubts. Shelby sent me pictures and videos of Bailey's daily progress and I couldn't believe she was mine. She was confident, obedient...

Ashlynn and Amanda only had our girl for a week but in that week she learned so much. Ashlynn took her time going over everything they worked on and I was amazed at the difference. We definitely recommend Top Dog Training Academy.

Top Dog was an excellent choice for Mia’s training. Ashlyn and Amanda did an amazing job with her. She learned so much and is doing really well after coming home. Would highly recommend Top Dog Training Academy.

Tyler and the entire the Top Dog Training family were simply incredible! From start to finish I couldn't imagine the training going any better. I chose the 3 week board and train option. From the outset, Tyler explaining and answering as many silly questions that I had about how the training would go, to sending daily updates and videos on her progress, calling to discuss when an unusual situation came up and the final "graduation" which was essentially my training lol. My dog Honey was a shelter dog so she had a couple quirks in her behavior that I didn't fully recognize at first. They worked through that wonderfully though. Honey is definitely great at testing boundaries and a little stubborn at times so to see literal daily progress was truly incredible.

Also worth mentioning is that I scheduled Honey's training a month in advance (yes it's worth the wait)...

I was extremely happy with my dog’s training. I loved the pictures and videos. She is much better behaved now. I was especially happy with the personal friendly service

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!! Ashlyn and Amanda did an amazing job with our Greta. The company as a whole are great. We had a few delays with Greta going into heat and then hurricane Ida. But we made it and she has done amazing. Thank you again!!

Ashlyn and Amanda were amazing!!!!! I highly recommend them and the Top Dog academy. Greta loved them and she is doing an awesome job. I can’t wait to see what the Kalei another trainer can do with our Koda😊so glad I found you all!!❤️

Shelby was the trainer that worked with my dog Lola and she is amazing! I know she has a lot my patience because my dog is very hyper and loves to test boundaries. I saw a huge improvement from when I dropped her off at the beginning. I also appreciated the time she spent to answer any questions at the pick up and explaining all the commands to me.
