Thank you so much 😊. Henry was here today to help us with our 13 months old GSH Hera. She is lead reactive towards dogs and kids. Henry was fantastic with her, we used a new lead and treats and it worked wonder.

This was the first time she would walk on a lose lead and not reacting when passing another dog. It's like we have a different dog. 😍... Of course we keep the training going on as well as all the tips. Thank you so much Henry, I will recommend you anytime. 😊

Rated 5 out of 5

Just finished training with Henry, would absolutely recommend 10 stars for training, Benny would bark with doorbells ringing , visitors, children and people out on walks , he was barking at dogs every time passing, would pull on the lead really badly etc Henry came and showed us how to stop the barking in the house with visitors and doorbell.

Benny got the idea and started to listen, we then went outside to the local park and went past dogs children etc and showed us how to correct the behaviour and within minutes he was loose lead walking and his barking towards dogs children and adults etc stopped.

We could never distract him to stop it ourselves. Henry showed us what to watch out for and to know when to intervene. Would highly recommend as the difference is unreal I didn't think it would be possible as I was so nervous walking Benny.

Hi Henry. Was absoutely thrilled with marley and roxy, they are so good now, and can really enjoy walking them now, without my arms been pulled out!! Thanks a million. I'll be highly recommending you. Worth every penny!!

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

I can not recommend Henry at Topdog Training enough. He came to our home and in 2 hrs he taught our staffy 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👍

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 😄
