Puppy Training Testimonials
Hours spent online trying to learn how to train my German shepherd pup to walk nicely on the lead without dislocating my arms. Failing miserably the bigger & stronger she got.
I came across TopdogTraining.ie, I have to be honest, I was sceptical despite reading brilliant testimonials. Well, today we had a 2 hour training session with Henry, to say I’m amazed is an understatement. He was so professional & patient. After spending time training at home, he even came for a walk with us to the park where I’m normally dragged about and do my best to avoid other dogs as mine is very reactive.
Today it was like walking a different dog!! Henry guided me the entire time, walking past ducks, other dogs and on a loose lead with my arms still intact.
It was the most enjoyable walk I have ever had!!! For anyone even considering contacting TopdogTraining.Ie, just do it!! After just 2 hours training I have seen how my dog can behave, I have been given the tools, I just need to use them now. Thanks so much Henry, I would 100% recommend TopdogTraining.ie

Thank you TopdogTraining.ie for your help, advice and training with our baby Lexi . After 2hours hard training not just puppy was tired but me as well🙈 Trainer was very good and answer all my questions and gave me best advice. Training in your own house is great too so puppy is not stress out about new place and can fully concentrate on training.Now just hard training for us and we will be back for next level 🦮 highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had Henry come and train my very excited lab puppy. I was very impressed by the end of the 2 hours. Walking him has become so much more enjoyable and puppy now knows basic commands and gets better every day. I would definitely recommend top dog training

I can not recommend Henry at Topdog Training enough. He came to our home and in 2 hrs he taught our staffy pup Freya and us a whole load of tips and techniques. From pulling on the lead, jumping up on guests and barking he has shown us how to solve it all. We now have a calmer home and and an even calmer dog. Thanks so much👍

Would like to thank Henry for the 2 hour training on Friday with Cody. puppy nipping. jumping up on people and counter surfing now seem to be very much sorted. also the walking on the lead is far better now and my teenage girls are able to walk Cody now without any pulling whatsoever. even on the saturday we met family in the park and my 5year old niece was able to walk Cody for a while without any concern at all. Kids are now more engaged with Cody as his behavior is much better. thanks again. would highly recommend to anyone.

I couldn't recommend Henry enough. He has helped me and my dad control Koda our 10 month old pup. She is a very hyper and reactive pup and found her very hard to walk and control. But with Henrys help I now look forward to our walks. She would be a nervous dog at times when out walking but I now know what to do and how to keep Kodas attention on me. We still have work to do but if I need a question answered or anything he is there to answer and he drops a message to check up on how we are doing. If anybody is having trouble with their dog Henry is your man 👐

Would like to highly recommend Henry for his great puppy training services. He came and within an hour had our highly distracted cavachon doing successful obedience training and leash walking which we keep up using Henrys methods daily. Extremely useful and would recommend anyone to avail of Henry and Top Dog Training.

I can not reccomend Henry enough , his knowledge is unquestionable . In just 2 hours he showed us how to get our 15 week old Golden retriever to stop biting and to stop trying to eat food off the table . My son can actually eat his breakfast in peace he is thrilled 😁. Thank you so much Henry

We had a one on one class with Henry TopdogTraining.ie for our 6 month old puppy and I can honestly say, nearly 2 weeks later, following on from what Henry put in place and we worked on, i can see a big improvement in our puppy, especially with recall. Ozzy says thank you !

Our Zeus is 18 months old and is a very intelligent and a perfect family dog BUT he has some social issues, he's very protective of us, our house and nervous towards strangers. We decided to contact Henry, from the beginning he came across very patient and professional and the same in person. I explained our concerns and he knew exactly the training Zeus required. Henry takes the time to explain everything and answered all of my questions in detail. He taught us how dogs behave and Zeus's personality so we understood more how to approach. After just 2 hours, Zeus has made a complete turnaround on the issues he had. I highly recommend Henry, not just for training but just for the education on dog behaviour, it will answer the questions you never thought you had. 😁

We recently had Henry from Topdog Training call out to assess our 3year old German Shepherd. He helped us realise some simple mistakes we were making and by the end of the session we could already see a huge improvement in him. We are extremely grateful to Henry for his knowledge and help and would recommend him to anyone looking for help or advice with their doggie family members. Our guy is doing really well and we would gladly have Henry back in the future should we ever need him. Thanks Henry

Henry came to visit us for a 1 on 1 session with Dexter our Russell Terrier who constantly pulled on the lead and becomes reactive to other larger dogs. Throughout the session Henry gave us fantastic techniques to use indoors and outdoors. Most astonishing of all was that within an hour we were able to have Dexter walking buy our side and listening to our commands! It was a learning experience for us and Dexter but we now feel much better equipped with the skills and confidence that Henry has provided to us. Thank you Henry!!

We had Henry out with us today for our 1 year old lab, who always pulled on the lead and lately started to show a bit of aggression towards other dogs...after the two hours with Henry showing us what to do and how to handle a situation bailey was loose leading walking and passing other dogs with no issues..
Thanks Henry!

Thank you Henry for working with my 3 year old Maltichon Benji! Every time I took Benji for a walk he was turn into a very different dog than when he is in the house. At home he is quiet and calm but when he goes outside to walk he turns crazy and vicious. He didn’t like walking past dogs, people, bikes or cars... anything that moved! But thanks to Henry I can now take him for a controlled and calm walk😄 after the 2 hours of training Benji was like a different dog! He was like the cute and cuddly dog I know when at home🥰 he can still be defensive when other dogs approach but Henry showed me the correct way to handle this behavior! I am so happy that I can take Benji on a calm and enjoyable walk 😄

I think Topdog Training is a very well run operation and the service and after care they provide is second to none. I have often contacted them with a query re our dog's diet etc and they are so helpful. I am also thrilled to have completely lost my fear of dogs through my 100% positive experience with Henry ( who taught me how to handle a dog ) and our own lovely girl.

I recently had henry from top dog training come to my house to help train my year old female staffy who out of the blue had taken to eating the door frames and the couch . Henry trained a dog for me a few years back and I was delighted to see he was still in business and now doing house calls . Within 30 minutes of Henry meeting and interacting with Nala we could see the difference and by the time he was leaving she was sitting , staying and walking loose on the lead . The ease at which he was able to achieve this was unbelievable and very quick. Henry went through all the techniques with the whole family which were all about positive enforcement and reward. I can't recommend top dog training enough , no more door frames being eaten and no jumping up when people come to the house . Thanks again Henry and all at top dog training .

Thank you Henry for your advice and training today for my 4 old year Rottie, he is looking forward to the next round, you have a great way with animals and they know it too.
Maeve Aughney. CarlowRottweiler
Thank you so much Henry, I'm honestly still shocked at how well my dog Benji was walking on the lead passed other dogs after our 2 hour session.
To be honest, I didnt think there was any hope for my 6 year old dog Benji, his aggression towards other dogs during our walks was such a huge problem, that up to yesterday, I would drive to a park/football pitches where I knew there was less dogs, walk around the football pitches so that when we seen another dog, I had enough room to walk away. He's lead aggression and pulling on the lead was so bad that last year he slipped a disc in my back just trying to get at another dog across the road.
We were even kicked out of dog training classes after 3 weeks, I've watched numerous YouTube videos, but nothing worked.
Well today, after 1 session with Henry I walked him on a loose lead by my heels for the first time ever, as he is usually always out in front, not only that, we passed other dogs without the usual aggression, as we corrected his behaviour immediately.
Everything I learnt today will be used in every walk going forward, but the difference in 1 session literally amazed me, I can only imagine what Benji will be like in 2 weeks. I'm now excited for our walks 😊
