I make this post every year🩵
2 years ago today, I received Dexter on my door step. We’ve accomplished our PSA PDC driving from CO➡️CA, bonded harder than I ever imaged, saved me multiple times in real life situations, & has shown me nothing but trust & love. Dexter was a true gift coming into my life & I couldn’t be more grateful.
Happy Gotcha Day dude💚

This is a special post

Miss Nala was with us for 8 weeks all the way from Rhode Island & she just left today🩷😭 she was here for severe confidence building as she was a Chinese meat market dog; scared of EVERYTHING & hated men.

We were able to successfully help her overcome her fears, see good in the world, gain the confidence she needed, & become actually happy and content💯🩵

Syn’s parents had their last litter! These pups are available for adoption & the best part is we’re doing all of the training, socialization, & confidence building! DM us for more info💜

09/05/2024

Unfortunately poor Stitch is still homeless & the saddest part is, we get tons of inquiries on available dogs but as soon as I send his info they either go cold turkey or say no. He’s got great training & even off leash skills, plus he’s great with other dogs if the play is healthy and appropriate. Let’s get him out there so hopefully he can find his home!🙏🏽💙😭

09/02/2024

Meet Karma (charcoal), Wally (chocolate), & the 2 siblings Callie & Hoosier! All 4 came from the same household and we even had Wally in a previous board and train a few years ago!

It’s always super helpful for the owner of a multi dog household to bring them at the same time so they can learn together🧡

Mr Marvel was originally trained by us as a tiny puppy for service dog work & then came back again to finish it out all the way from Maine! He’s been with us for a long time now & will be heading home next month. He’s an awesome dog with amazing work drive & really nice genetics to be able to be a service dog; we’re definitely going to miss him😭💙

A big of my apprenticeship requires the apprentice to get a dog to add to their family as a “project dog.” So meet Samantha the German shepherd! She came from a breeding kennel & ended up needing her stomach stapled. She’s 6 years old and only know how to be in a kennel or a dog run. So let’s get to work!

08/25/2024

Let’s welcome miss Lacey the mini Aussie & Azula the husky! Lacey is here for our Master Program (basic + advanced off leash obedience) & reactivity! Baby Azula is here for our Pawfect puppy + potty training & off leash (6 weeks).🩵🩷

08/24/2024

After a long journey we’re finally home. Happy to be back & to get back into the Top Paw K9 Academy groove!🩷🩵

Syn & I are here to make a post! A post about growth, & with growth, comes change. That being said, we have officially changed our business hours from 8am-4pm & being closed to the public on weekends; to 7am-6pm and open Saturday & Sunday! But with scheduled appointments of course as we are always busy with our board & trains.

This means we are able to accommodate more dogs & owners whose hours don’t match up with ours!

08/06/2024

Over due post but let’s welcome John to our apprentice program at Top Paw K9 Academy! He’ll be working with us hands on for 5 months after completing 2 months of books, quizzes, & homework; helping him have a clear understanding of dogs & how to work the dog in front of you! John Munsterman

If it weren’t for Riley, I wouldn’t have made it this far❤️ we used to be located in Greeley but recently moved to Denver.

Thank you Riley for always being my rock, world, whole heart, & to always keep me going.

Thank you to my Top Paw K9 team for their unwavering support & help. Koz Dietrich Tatiana Davis-Dunlap

& Thank you to everyone for your support in every way shown!🙏🏽💯 #2024

Mr Romeo from our Puppy Party 101 Group Class is here for our Pawfect Puppy board & train! He’ll learn leash skills, understanding and responding appropriately to dog body language when they’re giving cues they do not want to play or engage (he normally disregards it & continues to bombard dogs who don’t want him in their space), confidence building & recall!💚

08/01/2024

✨Once in a life time opportunity✨
Meet Big Blue!💙He is looking for his furever home through us at Top Paw K9 Academy. He’s got nothing but love to give & is amazing with other dogs, kids, people, cats, etc. He comes from a breeding kennel that is now down sizing & is looking for a home as nothing but a companion & to be a permanent part of the family.
We’ve had tons of dogs come through our rehome program & this is the one dog I would keep myself if I didn’t have 5 already.💙

Please share🙏🏽

Please DM us for all of his information & back story.

Marvel (left) & Beau (right) are here to complete service dog training. We’ve been training Marvel since a puppy and Beau has one year left to go with us!

Beau did not enjoy the ridiculous sounds being made to get their attention😂💝

Miss Luna came here for dog aggression & reactivity; she’s doing absolutely phenomenal with everything we help her through & all of her mental obstacles she she overcomes💜

07/25/2024

I’m so stoked to of finally found an awesome vet office for Riley! Normally, she will come in defensive and aggressive, she’s bit multiple vets at different offices & I’ve even had vets try to scruff her and choke her on leashes (I of course got physical and intervened). But after every bad experience with every vet; it’s been really tough to get Riley calm when we have appointments. BUT we have finally found the perfect vet; PetVet365 in Westminster CO! They work on relationship building & nothing but slow and gentle processes with the owner there the entire time. We’ve been 3 times so far (we go every 4 weeks for her Librela shot for her Hip Dysplasia) & she now has a slow heart rate, is more curious than defensive, & is no longer aggressive or on edge with them! So this is a big thank you and shout out to the best vet we’ve ever worked with within her 6 years of life❤️

“Tonight, on my flight from Indianapolis to Baltimore I sat next to an unaccompanied minor who was traveling to Baltimore to see her Mother. With Southwest Airlines open seating anyone could have sat next to her, in fact many people avoided her and her boundless energy during boarding. But finally, the couple you see in the photo occupied the two seats to her right.

Within minutes the young girl began chatting and the couple likely realized this wouldn’t be a relaxing flight...and they just rolled with it.

As drinks were being served the couple didn’t even get a chance to voice their requests because they were cut off by the young girl stating, ‘I’ll take water with a straw and so will they so we can paint!’.

And they just rolled with it.

Within minutes the young girl had brought out her Hello Kitty paint sheets and the couple spent the next hour following her instructions- as you can see.

As I type this the man next to her is being covered with Marvel stickers. They are on his ears, in his beard, arms, everywhere. And he is just rolling with it.

Moral of the story: There is good in this world. In fact, there is more good than bad in this world if we just open our eyes to it. There isn’t a script or instruction manual for love. You just have to roll with it.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tor and his family for 2 years now! After we work & bond with dogs, they’re welcome back for boarding at a big discounted rate! It’s wonderful seeing the dogs again that we’ve worked and bonded with💙

Miss Kova is sadly still homeless. Luckily our trainer is her foster until she finds a home. How many lives with another dog and a cat and it is constantly around children of all ages and does phenomenal with everyone! She’s completed our Pawfect Puppy course & will continue with our training until she finds a family to call her own.
Transport is available to states surrounding Colorado!

As many of you know, we used to be located in Greeley, Colorado. And we apparently just won the best dog trainer of Greeley! (Even though we’re new in Denver now).

My girl Syn just keeps getting bigger and bigger🩷😍& this is her brother Draco!

Mr Stitch excelling in his training & still waiting to find his furever home!

07/10/2024

In our Puppy Party 101 we take them to the outside world after creating a solid foundation! We can’t only inside, otherwise they’ll not be able to perform outside-one of the most important aspects of dog training!

Something I will never be able to understand; when someone goes out of their way to try to bring you down, but then won’t stick around for the aftermath? This man was leaving negative comments on a single video and even direct messages me to tell me my facility was “a s**t hole” and how horrible it is. But blocked me from being able to tag, reply, or comment back; and I don’t understand what the point is of going out of your way to do something negative but then not wanting to stick around for the outcome😂 at least say it with your chest and don’t be afraid of a response if you’re wanting to try to bring others down😘

Meet Stitch! He was rescued him from a very unique situation from Sapian before the hurricane hit. He’s ready for his furever home!

Why do dogs do this? #dogs #dog #dogsofinstagram #germanshepherd #dogtrainer #dogbehavior #behavior #dogowners #dogowner #dogownersofinstagram #dogtips #dogtrainingtips #trainingtips #tips

Why though? Just because a dog has DO NOT PET gear, muzzles, etc., does not mean they’re always aggressive. Some are nervous, scared, reactive…& sometimes people just don’t want to open the door for conversation when out with their dog. There’s tons of reasons owners put this type of gear on their dogs. DO NOT PET means do not pet. No one owes anyone an explanation but it needs to be more respected. At the end, you’ll see someone in public run up on Syn asking “what kind of dog” AS their going into pet; without asking, pausing, stopping to make sure it’s ok, all while she’s wearing a DO NOT PET collar. The entitlement is wild. #dogs #dog #dogtraining #dogsofinstagram #germanshepherd #donotpet #dogtrainer #germanshepherdsofinstagram #denver #denverdogs #denverdogtraining #colorado #denverdog #denverdogtrainer #dogowners #dogtips #dogowner #dogownersofinstagram #aggressive #muzzle #muzzletraining

My apprentices doing PAWsome at working with our service dogs in training. They both have a high prey & toy drive, but as a service dog, they cannot engage, break, chase, etc. unless given the go & not on duty.
