Clear communication and reward-based training, tailored to each dog’s program.
At Top Dog Training, every dog is trained using positive reinforcement, never shock collars, prong collars, or harsh punishment. Our Board & Train programs are designed to build better behavior, stronger communication, and reliable real-world skills through praise, rewards, structure, consistency, and individualized training.
Each program is customized to your dog’s needs, personality, training history, and behavior goals.
Our 2-Week Board & Train is ideal for dogs who need a strong foundation in obedience, manners, and everyday behavior.
During your dog’s stay, we focus on teaching clear communication and building the skills needed for a calmer, more manageable dog at home and in public.
Dogs who need basic obedience, improved manners, better leash skills, and help with common nuisance behaviors such as jumping, pulling, barking, or overexcitement. View pricing.
The goal of the two-week program is to create the foundation. Your dog learns what is expected and begins practicing those behaviors in different situations.
Our 3-Week Board & Train includes everything taught in the 2-Week Foundation Program, with an additional week dedicated to increasing reliability around distractions and addressing more challenging behavior.
The extra training time allows us to increase duration, distance, distraction, and real-world practice.
Dogs who already need more than basic obedience or who become difficult to manage around distractions, other dogs, visitors, outdoor environments, or exciting situations. View pricing.
The third week gives us substantially more time to take the behaviors your dog has learned and make them more reliable in the real world.
Rather than simply knowing a command in a quiet training environment, your dog begins learning to perform the same behavior around everyday distractions.
Our 4-Week Board & Train is our most comprehensive training program.
It is designed for dogs who need extensive training, greater reliability, or additional time working through more established behavioral challenges.
The additional training time allows us to focus not only on teaching behaviors, but also on repetition, proofing, emotional regulation, confidence, and generalization across multiple environments.
Dogs with more challenging behavior, dogs who struggle significantly around distractions, or owners who want the greatest amount of training, practice, and real-world preparation before their dog returns home. View pricing.
The fourth week gives us something extremely valuable in dog training: time and repetition.
Instead of simply teaching your dog what to do, we spend additional time helping your dog practice those behaviors repeatedly in different situations so they become more natural and reliable.
Best for basic obedience, manners, leash walking, impulse control, and common unwanted behaviors.
Best for dogs who need everything in the 2-Week Program plus greater reliability around distractions and additional behavior work.
Best for dogs needing the most comprehensive training, extensive real-world practice, or additional help with behavioral challenges.
Top Dog Training believes that dogs learn best through motivation, consistency, communication, and trust.
We do not use shock collars, prong collars, or fear-based punishment.
Our goal isn’t simply to make your dog obey.
Our goal is to teach your dog what you want them to do, help them enjoy doing it, and give you the tools to maintain those behaviors for years to come.
