About the Trainer

Top Dog Training, LLC, led by John, offers a unique “welfare-first, lifestyle-focused approach that is based on an obedience foundation” through its W.H.O.L.E. Dog Blueprint. This blueprint emphasizes Welfare first, Humane approach, Obedience foundation, Lifestyle focus, and Explore together, aiming to help owners understand their dog as an individual and create a harmonious partnership.

The business provides a variety of training options, including the Dog Training Redefined Membership, which is an online, one-year program featuring continuously updated courses, informative discussions, and a supportive community. For more hands-on training, they offer Residency Programs like Board & Train and DayBoard, where dogs receive immersive training at the trainer’s home or property. Private Lessons are also available, providing one-on-one coaching tailored to specific needs, conducted either at their facility or in the client’s home.

A key advantage is the integration of training into daily life, moving beyond quick-fix solutions to foster long-term behavioral change by understanding the “WHOLE Dog.” The approach is science-based, motivational, and humane, prioritizing communication, trust, and cooperation. All new clients receive a year of online support through the Dog Training Redefined Membership to reinforce in-person lessons and provide ongoing learning.

How to Get Started!

To begin, clients first undergo an Intro/Evaluation Lesson. During this session, the trainer discusses dog development, the “why” behind behavior, and core elements of behavior change, helping clients understand the available programs and recommending the best fit for their dog. After choosing a program, training commences, with guidance provided to help clients understand and live with their dog. All new clients receive one year of online support via the “Dog Training Redefined” membership, with an option to renew for continued learning and support.
