Why train your dog with Top Notch Dog Training?
Why Top Notch?
We've been in business for over 25 years, helping people to have better
relationships with their dogs.  Classes are limited in size to maximize individual
attention.  Students are also given help with behavior problems in addition to
training.

Experienced instructors understand your problems & will help find solutions that
work for you & your dog.
We want to help.
We offer a wide variety of services to meet your needs.  There are classes for
puppies & dogs that are just starting out, or classes for dogs with previous training.  
Other classes include Canine Good Citizen, Rally O, Therapy Dog, Trick Classes,  
Competition Level Obedience, Breed Handling & more!  Private, in-home training &
behavior  consultations are available as well.
We all want our dogs to listen.
We all want our dogs to listen to us no matter what else is happening around us.  
In order to do this, you must first build a relationship with your dog.  This takes
time &  patience!!  

By using positive, motivational techniques Top Notch instructors will help you
build this relationship while learning how to get your dog to:
Come when called (the first time!)
Stop pulling on leash
Have house manners (stop jumping, stealing, begging and more)
Training builds a positive
relationship with your dog!!

Spring is a great time to get outside & have fun with
your pet! Here are some common hazards:

  • Plants & Bulbs - Many of our decorative plants & bulbs are poisonous to our
    pets.  Lilies are one the most common poisonous plants found in bouquets
    and in gardens, but there are many other types of plants that can be
    poisonous to our dogs and cats as well. Rhododendrons, azaleas, Japanese
    ewe, foxglove, tulips, oleanders, castor beans, chrysanthemums and many
    other types of plants can all be very toxic to unsuspecting curious pets.

  • Fertilizers & Chemicals - As we treat our lawns & gardens so they will be
    lush & green this year, perhaps investigating non toxic alternatives is a good
    idea for the safety of your pet.  It's wise to keep animals off treated areas of
    your lawn & gardens..

  • Fleas & Ticks - 'Tis the season for those pesky parasites to show up!  Due to
    the mild winter, experts expect the tick population to increase dramatically this
    year.  Make sure your pet is protected against fleas & ticks, and you check
    them often.  Ticks carry lyme, erlichiosis and anaplasmosis which are harmful
    and can be fatal to your pet!

  • Allergies- Allergy season is in full swing!  Just like people, dogs can develop
    allergies, too - except theirs show up most often as skin irritations.  The
    discomfort of allergies will often trigger behavior issues as well.  Your
    veterinarian can recommend treatment for your pet.
