About Us

Top Dog Boarding & Training was founded in 2004. Since then we have grown exponentially year after year primarily by word-of-mouth marketing only. Our distinguished training methods are comprehensive thus they can address any behavioral issue.

At Top Dog our main focus is to help you successfully reach your training goals. Our hope is that when you complete your training program you will feel empowered and eager to implement what you have learned. Top Dog values excellence and only employs highly skilled staff; from our passionate kennel techs to our professionally certified trainers. We have the expertise, credibility, and reputation that has left thousands of clients happy and successful throughout the Phoenix metro area and beyond. 

The Top Dog training method is rooted in science. We have filtered out the normal process of humanizing dogs so that we can teach you how to view the world from your dog’s point of view. Our comprehensive process teaches you and your dog how to communicate effectively and can ultimately address any behavioral issue. This balanced approach gives you more than just learning the commands of “sit” and “heel”; instead you develop a symbiotic language with your pet so they can clearly identify your expectations which leads to a greater harmony in the home.

Top Dog has two separate locations in the Phoenix metro area.

Both locations are owned and operated by the same team of Top Dog professionals. They both boast a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of acreage for your pet to enjoy.
