RESIDENCY
BOARD & DAY TRAINING
It’s Time To See Your Dog Differently...
Dogs are complex, unique and multifaceted.Â
They are more than just input-output machines that operate on commands.Â
The trainer you choose to work with should understand and honor that.
I do.

Whether for a daytraining program or the longer term program your dog will have all of my attention during my W.H.O.L.E. Dog Board and Train Program.
Your dog spends the day (and night) with me, my family and my dogs on our property and on adventures nearby.
This is more than just obedience training, this immersion program focuses on the total dog and provides an unforgettable experience for both you and your canine companion.
Your dog will join me on daily adventures, where each day is filled with learning new skills, enrichment and new discoveries.
From mastering essential life skills to conquering a few challenges, our W.H.O.L.E. Dog Board and Train Program offers a dynamic blend of skill development, adventure and education for both you and the dog.
Throughout their journey, you'll receive regular updates and insights into your dog's progress, ensuring you're always connected. And when they return home, I will work with you developing your skills and confidence to help you continue the adventure together, exploring new horizons and forging lifelong memories.

"I have nothing but positive things to say about John and our experience working with him over the past several months. My wife and I are first time dog owners, and thanks to John we are both confident and competent in our approach to raising our now one-year-old English Shepherd. We've done both one-on-one training sessions with John, as well as sending our pup for a "board and train" with John. We are incredibly happy with Archie's progress behaviorally and are thankful for John's patience along the way. John is incredibly generous with his time and is always willing to help troubleshoot a problem that comes up. He is also just a good person. In short, I highly, highly recommend having John work with you and your dog.."

"Training with Top Dog was worth every bit of time, energy and money. My two mini aussies would bark, chase, herd, etc but when one nipped a friend’s little boy, I knew it was time for formal training.
Even after training, they still WANT to act like their old selves. I can see them perk up at passerby’s, but then they immediately turn their attention to me instead of barking and running to the end of their leash. It takes continuous work, but John gives very clear instructional lessons and is willing to go the extra mile for training, such as meet at a dog park! And all lessons are positive and fun!
Our family camping trips are so much more enjoyable with well-behaved dogs. I couldn’t have accomplished a serene outing without the training that my dogs (and I) received from John.."
