We’ve got some serious tail wags over here… 🎉🐾

Top Dog SF has officially been named one of San Francisco’s *Top 3 Dog Walkers* for the 10th year in a row! That’s a whole decade of muddy paws, epic zoomies, and unforgettable adventures across the city.

Huge thanks to our amazing clients (both two- and four-legged) for trusting us with your pups year after year. We couldn’t do it without you—and we wouldn’t want to.

Here’s to the next ten years of safe, joyful, reward-based walks with the best dogs in the Bay! 💛

If your pup dreams of wide open spaces and off-leash zoomies, we’ve got just the thing. 🏞️ Our Off-Leash Adventures take place at a private 4.5-acre ranch, where dogs can run, play, and socialize under expert supervision—all while soaking up fresh air and freedom.

It’s more than a walk—it’s a full-on adventure for dogs who love to explore, sniff, and make new buddies.

Let your dog live their best ranch life (no cowboy hat required).

Ever watched your dog twitch, wag, or let out tiny barks in their sleep? 💤🐾 They’re likely dreaming!

Just like humans, dogs experience REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep—the stage where most dreaming happens. During this time, their brains process daily experiences, memories, and emotions.

Interestingly, puppies and senior dogs tend to dream more often than adult dogs. Puppies are constantly taking in new information, so their brains are extra busy while they snooze. 🐶✨

Next time your pup’s paws are paddling mid-nap, just know they might be chasing squirrels in their dreams. 🌙💤

Join us Saturdays at 10 AM for 45 minutes of structured fun and learning. $35 per session, and totally worth the tail wags.

Puppy nipping might seem harmless now, but it plays a big role in how they learn to control their bite strength as adults. 🐶🦷 Through play, puppies develop bite inhibition—the ability to gauge pressure and avoid biting too hard.

If they don’t learn this early, it can lead to rough or even unsafe interactions later in life. 🚫 That’s why it’s important to guide them with structured play, appropriate chew toys, and positive reinforcement. 🎾✨

The Secret to a Potty-Perfect Puppy 🚽

Nothing derails a good morning like stepping in an *oops* moment. 😅 If you want to speed up housetraining, stick to these golden rules:

✔️ Use a crate—dogs instinctively avoid soiling their sleeping space.

✔️ Take your pup out after naps, meals, and playtime.

✔️ Celebrate outdoor success like they just won Best in Show! 🎉

❌ Punishment won’t work—stay patient, stay consistent.

🐕 Drop a 🐶 if you’re in the middle of the potty-training trenches!
