About Top Paw K9 Academy

What they offer

Top Paw K9 Academy runs board and train programs, group training, private one-on-one sessions and a Play & Train day program. Its board and train options are Pawfect Puppy Camp for puppies under 1 year, the FUNdamentals Program for dogs that pull or do not listen, covering sit, down, place, recall, loose-leash walking and impulse control, and a next-step program for real-world reliability.

Group courses and day program

Group training comes in two courses, Foundations and Real-World Reliability, held in real-world environments rather than a training building. Play & Train combines structured rest, matched play, enrichment and short training sessions during the day.

How they train

The site describes relationship-first training grounded in behavior science, clear communication and emotional regulation, with a focus on owner education. Reviews name the owner, Jenn, and describe work on reactivity.
