We took our poodle to Maria about 5 months ago. What was true then is true now. Pepper is a fantastic on leash pup. She knows and does all of her commands without issue. She can even be walked by our 8 year old and she doesn't great! What was guaranteed was the training Pepper received, what we weren't expecting was the bonus that the things she learned in obedience would carry over to off leash, too! Our pup is just under a year old and, for the most part, is so well behaved and follows commands given. She is still a bit of a Nervous Nellie, but that's just her. Love that if we want to do refreshers, Maria offers those. Plus, I never expected the thorough and kind follow up she does to make sure our pup was handling her transition back home well! Cannot recommend Top Performance Dog Training enough!!!!

We first met Maria last year when she helped our anxious golden doodle, Princess Peach, with leash training. After her sessions, Peach returned home excited and eager to demonstrate her new skills during our walks. Now, Maria is our go-to for boarding Peach whenever we travel. Each time, Peach comes back happy and well-behaved. Thank you, Maria, for all that you do!

Maria is hands down the best dog trainer we've ever worked with. I adopted two, 3 year old huskies with almost no socialization and definitely zero training. They were extremely difficult to manage. Maria helped them make an incredible transformation into responsive, well-behaved, affectionate dogs. Thanks to Maria, they now listen, trust, and have become my loving fur babies.

Meet Luna the husky. She came in crazy, she would never listen to commands and would drive us crazy. After taking her to top performance everything changed. She listens to commands and is very well behaved. I can honestly say I'm impressed with this service.Not only was the product better than expected but the customer service was the best. Very easy to deal with and very polite. I will be coming back in the near future when I get more pups and I suggest you do to!!!

This is DJ my now 1 1/2 year old GS.

This is DJ. My 1 1/2 year old GS. I took him to Maria at about 9 months for his 3 week boot camp. I could not believe the transformation. She has also shown me how to work with him to keep up the training. Also every time I board him I have her work on brushing up his skills. I will definitely recommend Top Performance to anyone!! Maria you are the best!!!

Down Stays are perfect.

We met Top Performance Dog Training when our Golden Retriever, Brinkley was 16 months old. Maria did an amazing job with Brinkley. Brinkley has moved on to becoming a Therapy Dog for First Responders. He has passed his AKC Good Citizen, Urban CGC and AKC Community Canine. Maria teaches the dog and the owners. Brinkley continues his training every week. It's amazing at two years old, he is a calm Golden that people that meet him can't believe how well he responds to commands and how calm he is. Top Performance Dog Training is Top Shelf in the dog training world. Like any kind of training. It's a perishable skill. We continue with training weekly. Maria gives you a strong base to work with making it easy for you to have a well behaved family member.

Top Performance Dog Training is excellent. I took my 10 month old French Bulldog there for training. He came back trained amazingly! He is a totally obedient dog now. On the leash walks are incredible. He knows all the verbal commands like "sit" "down" "stay". He even auto-sits now! Maria provides an incredible service at Top Performance. I can't say enough about great things about Top Performance Dog Training.

Luca is so happy to be training with Maria!

Maria was so great to work with - very friendly and personable. She worked very hard with Luca and he was able to complete "Basic On-Leash Dog Obedience!" He's so much better on the leash now and knows all of these commands! Maria, I can't thank you enough!

Coco at a sit command. Because of Maria's training and experience, she has the basics under her belt.

Maria is the best trainer hands down. We dropped off our little guy for her 3 week program. Because he's a little stubborn, she offered to keep him an additional week to ensure he was ready when we picked him up, with no additional charge. How awesome! She also does a great job at caring for your dog. Our frenchie is pretty high maintenance, and she makes sure to follow all protocol for him. Our frenchie follows instruction and does great on walks which was a big struggle for him. He's been doing a great job. She also offers boarding which is great and our dog loves it! I would definitely recommend Maria for training and/or boarding.

Leia told to stay down and doing it for quite some time, very relaxed! Success!

Maria is absolutely amazing!!!! Not only does she work wonders with the dogs, you can tell that she truly loves them. She also teaches you, as the owner, how to do gentle reinforcement without needing treats or excessive coddling, but rather positive correction and just the right amount of praise at the right time, with love included. I could tell that my dog followed her with adoration. I'm learning so much even in my follow-up lessons that I know that this bond with my fur baby will be the best ever!! Thank you so much, Maria!!!

I initially hesitated to leave my dog for three weeks; Maria did a fantastic job with my hyper Goldendoodle before my dog came to Top Performance Dog Training. She wasn't the best listener. Now, whenever I call or give her a command, she does it without hesitation.

See all

We brought our young (under 1 year old) Golden Doodle to Darcey and her team to work on his…read morevocalness, impulse control, and overall obedience, and it was one of the best decisions we've made! The entire team was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. At the start of boarding, Darcey was able to pinpoint the key areas that needed work. Throughout the training process, we received regular updates, including informative notes, photos, and videos that showed just how much progress our pup was making. It gave us so much confidence and peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. The information shared also helped to prepare us on his return, specifically the steps we needed to take to enforce his training. On pickup day, Elias took the time to walk us through all the commands and detail best practices moving forward. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and ability to clearly communicate everything really stood out not just to us, but even to outsiders observing the session. Everyone was genuinely impressed! The transformation in our pup has been amazing--he's noticeably calmer, more attentive, and much better at listening. This is a level of progress we couldn't have achieved on our own. We're so grateful to Darcey and her team and we would not hesitate to work with them again. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional dog training!

Outstanding experience. We brought our dog here for the first time after hearing so much about this…read moreamazing place and the outstanding owners. We have a working dog and we weren't sure this would be the appropriate place for it. They did wonderful. They are very familiar with working dogs. Normally my dog can't wait for me to take him home. He actually seemed like he wanted to stay. Can't say enough good things about the staff, how easy it was to make a reservation, and how seamless it was for drop off and pick up. Outstanding! Darcy and her entire staff deserve a huge high five.

I highly recommend InsideOut Dog Training and George, the trainer. It's been about 7 months since I…read morecompleted the level 1 group training with George and I figure it's time to leave a review! I adopted a 1 year old terrier mix from Mary S. Roberts and took advantage of their discounted training rate. I like to say my little one had NO manners. She was exhibiting a lot of concerning behaviors that you can't discredit come with adopting a rescue dog. We already had a 4 year old husky with us that we've had since he was a puppy, but that didn't stop the terrier from coming into the house like she was the owner. She was very anxious and scared and it seemed to be reflected in her trying to be dominant and somewhat aggressive with our dog and visitors to the house. It was a defeating feeling that first month before I was able to get her into training. She nipped, barked, was always afraid, would freeze when I would leave the house, and couldn't be left alone. I really want to thank George because he is so good at recognizing dog behaviors and probably more important, human behaviors with their dogs! The class setup was only about 6 people, enough to learn from others but also not so big that any dog didn't get the attention they need/deserve. George taught ME some dog behaviors and traits and I've been able to extend what he taught during the class to outside of the classes to better train my dog. I think the most important thing he taught me was to pay attention to how I'm reinforcing certain behaviors, because we are reinforcing (positively or negatively) whether we know it or not. Now my dog is so much more confident and excited to follow directions since we finished training. Everyone who met her when I first got her has noticed and mentioned the positive shift in her mannerisms and personality since training. I wish they had more training levels available because I would happily join another group lesson with George!

If you're looking for a dog trainer in the Inland Empire, we can't recommend Jason from Inside Out…read moreDog Training enough! We rescued a dog who had extreme leash reactivity. We shopped around and talked to several trainers and they all wanted to do a boot camp situation. Jason could have pushed for a board and train/boot camp option but he let us know that doing private lessons (very affordable when purchased as a package) would give us the best results for taking care of her issues. We appreciated that Jason didn't push for the highest cost option and wanted to give us the skills to work with our dog and her problems in normal day to day life out in the "real" world. He's always been really patient with all our questions and has been more than happy to field questions about our other dogs and things we can improve on with them outside of working with our "problem" dog without asking for additional compensation. As I said, if you're looking for a dog trainer who cares about your dog, uses positive reinforcement methods and gives you the skills to make your dog the best they can be then Jason is your guy. He does private and group training several times a week at Mary Roberts Pet Adoption Center. I almost forgot to mention that he posts videos that reinforce lessons you get in person.
