I am so thankful I found Topline K9. My dog Buster is from a rescue so I was already concerned with…read morehaving him go with someone else for training but he needed it. Leash walking was a challange and he was pretty hyper at home and all over the place. When Stephanie met Buster he already took to her. Stephanie is so sweet and has this calmness about her and you can tell just adores pets. She worked with Buster for 3 days and the results are amazing!!! Buster used to always jump on my bed no matter what, last night he actually listened and went straight to his doggy bed and slept there all night no problems. Took him walkin for the first time and his leash manners are incredible. I can't believe how much of a change! I highly recommend Stephanie and Buster will definately be boarding there at her home. Her home is so clean and the yard is nice and big for the pets to play in.

My black Labrador retriever Skylar first went to Stephanie at Topline K9 when Sky was about…read more18-months-old. She was a hot mess. She begged, went potty in the house, refused to get in the car without being dragged, pulled on walks, had zero manners, pushed into me when she wanted attention......you name it and she did it. So I signed her up do Topline's in-house training program. She posted daily pictures of Sky so I could see her progress and then one week in I got to go visit and I was literally shocked. I thought she had replaced my dog with a well-behaved one. What I saw next was a true miracle....Stephanie posted a YouTube video where she trained Skylar to willingly get in the car!!! Since then she has always done it and it has been a life changer.....she weighs 80 pounds so not being able to get her into the car meant to going to parks or on hikes and now we do them several times a week. Stephanie was firm.....with Sky and me and we both needed it!! She is always available now for a question or a refresher lesson! I went through lots of trainers....she is by far the best!!

Piper can be a frustrated greeter and is strong enough to really pull while on the leash, but both behaviors have been minimized with the right tools under our belt. Walks went from being stressful to being a fun experience for us both! We learn new games and training exercises - time spent with Pilar is always rewarding! Her experience time and time again has helped me communicate more clearly to my dog as well as understand her behaviors.

I highly recommend Courtney for all your dog training needs. She's the best!

I was walking my mastiff, Bosley today at Cardiff Beach, and there was a lady with a really cool…read moreblack dog walking ahead of us. This dog kept turning around and pulling toward us. The lady finally turned around for the walk back. As she approached us, she said, " I don't know why he is trying to meet your dog so badly. He's really not very social, and is pretty particular about other dogs." We chatted awhile while our dogs played. They seemed so happy and relaxed around each other. When she told me her dog's name, I realized why her dog was so excited to see Bosley! They have had social walks/play dates together with Pat!!! They knew each other!!! My dog had a friend :) In fact, Bosley looks forward to these social walks more than anything else in life!!! We have used Pat and Leslie for awhile now for dog walking, dog sitting and social walks. They are always there for us, even when I call on them last minute. They do wonderful work, really know dogs and genuinely love them. I have two pretty challenging dogs with issues! They can be pretty tiring, but not for Pat and Leslie! Highly recommend!!!

Cathy sponsors an adoptable every class free of charge to improve their chances in finding a forever home and as a Canine Coach I would transport and train said animal. As if that weren't enough to fall in love with Take the Lead. I coached three dog through her 6 week course and she asked me to stay on as an intern trainer. I've been volunteering there ever since. Her methods are painless and positive. She teaches people to read their dogs body language so that we don't ask something of our dog that hurts, makes them uncomfortable or would create undue stress. Her motto is "It takes two to pull" so be prepared to be trained as well. Classes are an hour. They are fun and functional, you learn how to handle real-life situations, how to train your pet to be a good patient at the Vet, the Groomer and Dog-sitter. There are special guest speakers, games and play. Your dog is begging for you to call Cathy at Take the Lead!
