Basic Manners Training
| Dog Training Resources
Is your dog a great dog, but doing one or two things that
are driving you bonkers? Do you just wish your dog would
listen better?
We can help with indoor manners for issues like:
- Jumping up
- Housetraining
- Destructive chewing
- Bothering guests
- Barking/pawing at you for attention
- Crate manners
- Playing ‘keep-away’ with your things
- Counter surfing
- Getting into the garbage
- Annoying the other dog/cat
- Not listening
- Socialization with people and dogs
- Coordinating a multi-dog household
|
…and outdoor manners issues like:
- Pulling on leash
- Come when called
- Digging
- Not bringing the ball back
- Not listening
- Jumping on people
- Socialization with people and dogs
- Picking up/consuming objects off the ground

 “I
got more out of my two private sessions at Top Notch Dog than
I did in a whole 8 week course I took [elsewhere]!”
D.S. from Hillsborough (Lab/Aussie mix)
“Just a quick note to thank you for your time and patience
with helping me understand my dog a bit better. I was amazed at
how much there was to learn in just one session! The next day,
I was anxious to practice some of our new skills, such as "drop
it." L.V. from Durham (Pit bull terrier mix)
“My vet gave you praises on Sam's behavior. She said
he was very well behaved and co-operative with her during his
annual exam, shots, etc. I was so pleased to hear this because
he was so excited and hyper upon arriving at the vet at first.
Many thanks to you and to her!” M.W. from Hillsborough

 “I
am enjoying my dog more. When we’re out in public she looks
to me instead of trying to run everywhere. You are patient, encouraging
and know your subject well!” J.F. from Durham
(Havanese)
“Thanks so much for all your advice, working with you
has been amazing, I have learned so much and therefore enjoy Leo
and understand him so that our relationship is quite amazing.
Thank you!” K.B. from Durham (sight hound)

"I highly recommend Top Notch Dog because the positive,
humane reinforcement techniques empowered my dog to succeed. Barbara's
ability to problem solve helped us to obtain workable training
solutions. Tegan retrieves the phone, my car keys, and obediently
accompanies me in public." P.B. from Durham
(Shih Tzu/Poodle mixed breed)
