About Us
At "Top Performance Dog Training"
I have been professionally training dogs for over 15 years and I am a certified, experienced, knowledgeable professional.
My vast experience with a wide range of dog owners, breeds, and behaviors allows
me to tailor a training solution that is best for you and your dog. Each owner and their dog form a unique relationship, and no one training method is right for every situation.
My goal is to analyze your situation and find the ideal training solution for you and your dog.
I believe in educating both the dog and the 
owner, as both must work together in order to forge a healthy relationship.
I strive to create this healthy relationship through my various training programs which utilize positive reinforcement methods.
What Sets Us Apart
I specialize in providing you with a training solution that best suits the needs of both you and your dog. Unlike many large boarding kennel operations that herd dogs through their time regimented programs like cattle, our programs focus on quality...not quantity. I will take the time necessary to properly teach you and your dog to achieve real, lasting results.
Warning Signs!
Be warry of these warning signs when choosing a training
facility. These are sure fire indicators that something is amise:
! "The 2 Week Promise": Many facilities
claim they can teach your dog in 2 weeks. This is not a
realistic timeframe to properly train a dog and have it retain what it has
learned. It will take several days just to get acclimated to the new
environment. This time is stressful so training must start slowly with
measured increases. A short training time only benefits the facility and not
you by allowing them to train more dogs in less time which makes them more
money with less effort.
! "Off-Leash Training": This is a
misleading term and actually involves the use of an electronic collar. This
method is not right for every dog. In order for a dog to benefit from this
training method it must be of a certain age, maturitiy and temperament. We
would conduct an initial consultation to determine if this training method
is right for your dog. Attempting this type of training on the wrong type of
dog may actually be detrimental.
! "False Advertising": Be careful of
facilities claiming to be the best game in town when in fact they are
nationwide businesses that are based out of state and may even outsource
their training. When researching training ask where they are located and for
local, verifiable reviews.
! "Unverified Experience": It is common for
trainers to claim years upon years of experience without any verifiable
proof. A credible trainer will have graduated from an accredited canine
training program and then apprenticed under an experienced trainer for
several years. When choosing a trainer ask for proof of dog obedience
training specific education and experience.
