Top tier pup academy is great! Our dog has very much improved from their training. We have also begun using them for boarding and feel secure that our pup knows them and can benefit from further proper training during his time boarding. Super helpful!

Cam and Ilsa took our sweet pup from wild to wonderful! Board-and-train for two weeks was tough for us but made a world of difference in Lindy's behavior, and she came back knowing how to walk on a lead, sit, stay, and relax in her crate at night. Lindy also boards there when we're on vacation and gets so excited when she sees Cam - she ADORES him, which is a great sign that we made the right choice.

We found Too Tier when our puppy, Lindy was being very naughty. She was using our soft arms and legs as chew toys for her razor sharp teeth, going potty inside the house, and generally ignoring any and all commands. They came to our house to pick her up. She went to Top Tier for two weeks. She came back a different dog. They spent so much time going through the training techniques with us so we felt comfortable and we could continue her training. Now when we go anywhere with Lindy, people comment on how well behaved she is. Cam and Elsa are like dog whisperers and we will always use Top Tier for all our pet training and boarding needs. They are amazing with all the pups and the dogs love them and get so excited when they see them coming. Its wonderful to know our sweet girl is being so well taken care of and that shes in such good hands.
Top-Tier Pup Academy's reply
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a joy helping Lindy grow into such a well-behaved companion. We're grateful you trusted Top-Tier Pup Academy with her training, and it means so much to hear she's turning heads wherever she goes. We look forward to being your trusted choice for dog training and boarding in Franklin, TN for years to come!
