Hi, I'm Skylar! I am the owner of Top Dog Behavior and Training and have the honor of working with dog guardians from all over the world to better bond with their dogs through training!I've had the unique experience of working with dogs of many breeds and personalities over the last 10 years, as well as assisting pet parents in improving the diets of their beloved cats and dogs to improve their overall wellness and nutrition over the last 4 years. Prior to receiving my first dog training certification in 2018, I had experience working with and training horses for many years before shifting my focus to working with dogs and their people. Upon learning just how much diet and wellness plays into the behavior of our furry friends, I began to learn more about pet nutrition and began gaining certifications specializing in pet food and raw feeding in 2020.Throughout my career I have made a commitment to providing my clients with the most up-to-date, scientifically valid, and humane training methods. I continue to uphold this commitment by continuing to gain certifications from highly regarded organizations within the industry, as well as attending industry conferences and continuing education opportunities from some of the best trainers and experts in the world.With a commitment to force free, science-based training, I promise to:Treat both you and your dog with compassionAlways make sure you understand the "why" of the training we are doingProvide training that puts your dog's safety, well-being, and unique personality first - no fear, intimidation, or pain will ever be used!Provide top-quality and proven methods to help you achieve your training goalsI am so excited to have the opportunity to work with you and your dog, and I can't wait to hear from you!If you have any questions about my qualifications, methods, or services, use the "Contact Us" button onscreen or shoot me an email!

Behavioral issue focus:

Most commonly my clients work with me to learn the essential foundational skills and common obedience cues or to overcome and manage aggression or reactivity in an effective, humane, and science-backed way!

Dog training methods:

Group classes and workshops follow a class syllabus which private training clients receive an initial training consultation in order to create a custom training plan for future sessions. All training is done using the most effective, humane, and science-backed training methods through a positive reinforcement and force free approach.

Why I became a dog trainer:

After getting my first dog at 6, my love of animals only continued to flourish. I spent most of my childhood working with animals, from volunteering at the local Humane Society as soon as I was old enough, to competing in equestrian sports and helping to train school horses for the new riders. Finally, in 2018, I started gaining dog training certifications and working professionally to help dog guardians achieve theri training goals!

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

I love working with dedicated dog guardians to better bond with their dogs while achieving their training goals. The best part for me is when a client feels empowered in their training journey and begins to appreciate their dog in a new way.

My #1 dog training tip:

Always have treats! Dogs are smart and will repeat the behaviors we want to see when they are rewarded for them.
