GIVE ME 2 MONTHS AND I'LL GIVE YOU A BETTER BEHAVED DOG!
Do any of these sound familiar?
I am overwhelmed by my dog’s behavior.
I feel lost with my new puppy.
I’m jealous of other people casually walking their dog on leash.
I am embarrassed when people come to visit and my dog jumps all over them.
I get frustrated when I call my dog and they ignore me.
If so… I can help.
I'm John Imler
I'm a Professional Dog Trainer and owner of Top Dog Training, Kentucky. I am recommended by a number of local veterinarians in the area and teach out of Barbour Lane Animal Hospital in Louisville, KY.
In 1995, after getting out of the military I got my own “problem dog” and needed some help dealing with aggression and reactivity. Our family had dogs growing up but this one was mine and I had to figure out what to do… that started a passion of working with dogs.
Fast forward almost 2 decades to 2014 where I left a successful position at a Fortune 500 company and turned a passion into a career opening Top Dog Training in Louisville, KY.
Every owner can have their own Top Dog...
It's my goal to help make that happen...
My basic dog training program is the “Foundations to Functional Blueprint” which is designed to achieve the results you are looking for. It is based on on building trust and takes into account the fact that both the dog and the owner play a role in the success of a training program. I have used this on thousands of dogs and presented it to professionals including veterinarians, psychologists, and others in the scientific community… and I also achieve results by focusing on measurable standards with are realistic and attainable for most dogs. This program can be modified to address everything from obedience issues and manners to aggression and reactivity.
My clients are guided by regular lessons, access to me via text and phone as well as online video support and a maintenance guarantee that lasts as long as you have your dog.
So whether you choose Private Lessons, Board and Train or my Small Group Lessons… I focus on the dog AND the human… and I can help.
MY GOAL IS TO HELP GIVE EVERY DOG A FULFILLED LIFE IN A FOREVER HOME AND HELP THEIR HUMANS MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
