My 175 lb + cane corso Ozzie has completed 2/3 of Adam's immersion/boarding training. Ozzie & my chihuahua Chüeco board with Top Dog when I travel.
I researched trainers throughout the DFW area for months. Adam & Top Dog was one of the furthest from my residence, but none of the others brought as much experience to the table and offered the techniques needed for our situation.
About 4 months after adopting my big boy, he decided that I, and only I, am his person. He began to act unsavory toward anyone else that tried to lead him away from me or anyone that was left in control of him after I walk away. He didn't have a great life before me & the breed is very loyal, so I understand but the behavior is not acceptable. His behavior prevented grooming, boarding, getting a dog walker or any other activity requiring someone else handling him.
Given Ozzie weighs the same or more than most of my friends, very few were willing to take him by the leash and help me train him. I needed professional assistance & Top Dog's Board and Train program was the right fit.
After appx 2.5 months with Adam, the business location moved from Joshua to Burleson forcing Ozzie to come home before completing the training. His behavior continues. I'm still unable to leave him with anyone except Top Dog staff. But having at least that one outlet provides an opportunity for me to complete the travel necessary in my employment.
I hope to finish the training, learn additional techniques and provide my big boy the confidence to go with others without fear.
I highly recommend Top Dog. read more
