I have been taking classes and lessons for 10 years at Top Dog, gaining loads of knowledge on how to handle my dog at home and in competition. I highly recommend enrolling at this training facility with your 4-legged friend so you will have the best dog at home, and anywhere else you choose to go!

I have been a student at Top Dog Obedience School for several years. The instructors are knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. Class sizes are not big and there is an Instructor and Assistant Instructor in each class. Staff are always welcoming and insightful. Not only is there time to ask questions during class but the Instructors are willing to continue helping even after class sessions are over.I have owned dogs my entire life and thought I knew a lot but, Anita (Pet Training Classes) has taught me so much and helped form a solid foundation that carried over to Competition Obedience. Linda took us further on that journey and Betsy has opened our world to things that I could never have imagined doing.My dog can be reactive, fearful, and insecure. The facility is very spacious which gave my dog ample room so she didn’t feel confined or threatened when we started classes there. She is now so confident and comfortable in the ring that you wouldn’t even know it was the same dog! I can’t say enough good things about Top Dog’s excellent Instructors - from the Puppy Classes to Competition Obedience Classes, they have gone above and beyond with my dog. Their knowledge of dog behavior, experience with working with all types of dogs and their willingness to work with a dog who a lot of folks would have given up on, has made such a difference in my dog and in our life together. Without this help and their support, I would not have a dog that can do what she does! Thank you Top Dog!

We enrolled our puppy when he was 1 years old into puppy kindergarten. Thankfully we did because this class was informative as well as our instructor Anita .

In February of 2023 we brought home a new puppy and we knew that we were going to need helping training this very high energy pup. Having trained dogs off and on at Top Dog Obedience School in Flanders I knew that is where I wanted to take this puppy. Unlike many other dogs schools the instructors at Top Dog have owned and trained all size dogs from small chihuahua's to large golden retrievers. That extensive experience is plus because they understand that not every breed or size of dog can be trained exactly the same way.I cannot thank Anita enough for her wealth of information provided during her pet puppy training classes. She makes the sessions fun for both the person and the dog. She gave us clear instructions and each week we were building on what we learned the week before. I went from having a high energy puppy that was a challenge to train and live with to a managable situation.While we are now training in competiton obedience at Top Dog I plan to enter additional pet dog classes with Anita to work towards the Canine Good Citizen test.Thank you Betsy, Linda, and Anita for providing such a fun and positive place to come and train my dog. He loves going to school!

Caring and knowledgeable instructors that really want you to succeed! The mark of a successful business is how long they have been in business with return students and many referrals! They are the best!

i took an advanced beginners class here with my dog. i wish i called before signing up and asked for details on the training method we would be using. i felt the trainers used a lot of aversive methods/tools with minimally educated owners which felt unfair! obedience was emphasized over a dog's feelings, instead of setting the dog up for success - the method used was correct dog til they do the behavior, which didnt sit right with me. outdated training methods inappropriate for a group class. i am now taking online classes at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy, where the trainers emphasize your bond with your dog, your dog's confidence, as well as achieving the behavior you want

This is a place where good people with good puppies want to go for a hour long lecture to make them feel horrible about themselves. Waste of time and money. Class leader was arrogant and too interested in hearing her own voice (amplified with a megaphone)

Desi and I are training at Top Dog Obenience School. Staff is quick to answer questions and they are very knowledgeable about canine behavior. Facility is super clean. I went to Top Dog 15 years ago with my Zeus and am very glad to be back.

A fun location to go with your dog and have a cocktail or two. They have to close at 11:30pm because of COVID right now and masks are required while walking around.

Currently in Beginner obedience and I would not recommend it. Trainer asked me to send email regarding issues and still hasn’t replied (3 weeks). So many dogs in class (about 12), difficult to hear instruction. Class starts about 10 minutes late every week and since there are 3 classes back to back there’s no chance to discuss anything with trainer. Chaotic. Will finish out this session and then try Petra Dog Center down the road. I sent Petra an email and got a very nice response in about an hour (on a Saturday).
