We decided to start something fun this year at Top Notch Dog Training!

Fall school pictures!

We figured if the kids get school pictures every year, why shouldn’t the dogs?

We had so much fun doing these and we’re hoping to make this a yearly tradition so we can look back at all the dogs who have come through our training programs over the years.

So here they are, our very first Fall 2026 school pictures!

We think our students are pretty darn cute!

Don’t see your pup? Make sure you check back because we have more pictures to come!

It’s official! Our sign is up!

It’s been a busy year getting settled into our new home in Edwardsburg, and little by little, everything is coming together!

There’s something pretty exciting about pulling into the parking lot and finally seeing Top Notch Dog Training on the building!

We’ve put a lot of time, hard work, and heart into making this space something special for the dogs and families we work with.

We’re so excited for what’s ahead in 2027 and all the new faces, both two-legged and four-legged, that will walk through our doors!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. We’re looking forward to continuing to grow and serve our community!

Ever wonder what your dog could be doing while you’re at work?

Instead of spending the entire day at home waiting for you to return, imagine your dog getting to come to school!

Our Day Training Program gives dogs a chance to enjoy a structured day while continuing to practice the skills they’ve already learned.

So what does a typical day look like?

We spend time going for walks, enjoying some playtime, practicing obedience skills, and of course, making sure everyone gets some downtime too!

It’s a nice balance of activity, training, and rest.

And for busy families, it means knowing their dog is being cared for and having a productive day while they’re at work or taking care of everything else life throws their way.

The best part? Your dog doesn’t have to come every day! Whether you need one day a week or five, we offer flexible scheduling Monday through Friday.

Day Training is available to graduates of our Puppy Day Training and Board and Train Programs. Dogs trained elsewhere are also welcome to be considered following an evaluation.

Could your dog use a school day or two each week?

Another exciting day here at Top Notch Dog Training! Our new sign is being installed today!

2026 has been a year of changes, hard work, and getting everything ready at our new location in Edwardsburg. It’s been a process, and there are still things we’re working on, but little by little, it’s all coming together!

We are so excited for what 2027 has in store for Top Notch Dog Training! We look forward to welcoming new families, meeting lots of new dogs, and continuing to help dogs and their people build better relationships.

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who has supported us along the way. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are just getting to know us, we appreciate you being part of our journey.

Here’s to finishing out 2026 strong and looking forward to all the exciting things ahead in 2027!

And we have to say, seeing our name finally going up on the building makes it all feel a little more real!

Don’t wait until your puppy is older to start training!

One thing we hear quite often is, “We’re going to wait until our puppy gets a little older before we start training.”

But here’s the thing. Your puppy is already learning every single day!

They’re learning what gets your attention, what behaviors work for them, and what they can get away with. Sometimes they’re even learning things we wish they wouldn’t!

That’s why we encourage families to start training early.

Puppy class isn’t about expecting your young puppy to have perfect obedience. It’s about helping you understand how your puppy learns, teaching good habits, building confidence, and giving you the tools to continue training at home.

And yes, we’ll work on those puppy behaviors like biting, jumping, and pulling on the leash, too!

Our next Puppy Training Class starts November 5!

Classes meet Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30 PM for six weeks.

Cost: $175

For puppies up to 6 months old.

Location: Top Notch Dog Training in Edwardsburg, Michigan.

If you’ve recently welcomed a puppy into your family, we’d love to have you join us!

When you hire a cat who takes his job VERY seriously.

Training dogs? Ben’s got you.

Greeting clients? Ben’s got you.

Making sure the outside property is free of mice? Ben’s got you.

Need someone to supervise? Ben’s your guy.

Need someone to ride around on your shoulders while you’re trying to get work done? Apparently, Ben’s your guy for that too.

We’re starting to think Ben doesn’t actually work FOR Top Notch Dog Training. He thinks he RUNS Top Notch Dog Training.

And honestly, we’re not sure he’s wrong. 😂

We’re excited to officially introduce our Day Training Program!

We know life gets busy! Between long workdays, family commitments, and everything else on your schedule, sometimes it’s hard to find the time to give your dog the exercise, structure, and continued training they need.

That’s where our Day Training Program comes in!

This program is designed for dogs that have already completed our Puppy Day Training or Board and Train Program and are looking for a way to continue building on the skills they’ve learned.

Haven’t trained with us before? That’s okay too! We’re happy to consider dogs that have completed training elsewhere. We would just need to schedule an evaluation first to make sure the program is a good fit.

Meet Sully!

Sully is one of our Day Training regulars! He comes to school once a week while his family is working. During his day with us, he enjoys walks, playtime, some downtime, and of course, we spend time brushing up on his obedience skills.

We’ve been offering Day Training to a small group of families for over six months, and we’re excited to now open the program to more dogs!

Here’s how it works:

• Available Monday through Friday

• Morning drop off and afternoon pick up

• Flexible scheduling from one to five days per week

• Walks, playtime, rest time, and continued obedience practice

Our goal is simple. Give busy families a place where their dogs can spend the day enjoying a structured routine while continuing to maintain the training they’ve worked so hard on.

Because training shouldn’t stop just because your dog has graduated!

We are now accepting additional dogs into our Day Training Program. Space is limited so we can give each dog the attention and structure they need.

Think your dog would enjoy coming back to school? Send us a message! We’d love to tell you more about the program and see if it’s a good fit for your dog.

Got a puppy? Let’s talk about those puppy behaviors!

Puppies are adorable, but let’s face it, they can also be a handful!

The biting, jumping, pulling on the leash, and those moments when it seems like your puppy has completely forgotten their name. Sound familiar?

The good news is that puppyhood is the perfect time to start building good habits!

We’re excited to announce our next Puppy Training Class.

During this six-week course, we’ll work on:

🐾 Basic obedience, including sit, down, come, and leash manners

🐾 Building focus and engagement with their owners

🐾 Appropriate socialization and confidence building

🐾 Addressing common puppy behaviors like biting and jumping

🐾 Teaching puppies how to settle and make good choices

🐾 Helping owners better understand their puppies and how they learn

Our goal isn’t just to teach your puppy a few commands. It’s to help you build a strong foundation for the years ahead.

Back to School with Archie!

We love seeing Archie having a great start to the school year at Hamilton Community Schools!

One of our favorite things about what we do is getting to see all the Facility Therapy Dogs we’ve had the opportunity to work with out in their schools, doing what they’ve been trained to do.

We especially love seeing all their back-to-school pictures! It’s always fun to see those familiar faces and know they’re out there making a difference in the lives of students and staff.

Now we want to see yours!

If you have a Facility Therapy Dog or Therapy Dog who has been back at school since August, drop a picture in the comments! We’d love to see what everyone has been up to!

Ben is always so happy when Oggie comes to school!

No matter how busy his day may be, Ben always takes a little time to hang out with Oggie while he works on place. We are not sure if Ben is helping with training or just enjoying the company, but these two sure are cute together!
