I was truly delighted to have Jay as a trainer! He was incredibly patient with my 6-month-old Chihuahua, Milo, and his commitment to delivering outstanding service exceeded my expectations. Jays expertise in dog behavior was essential to Milos rapid growth and development. Working with him was a pleasure, and we look forward to benefiting from his services again in the future. I highly recommend Top Dog Training! Thank you Jay!!! We will see you soon. 😊
I would recommend Jay over and over again ! He Was patient and kind and very understanding of my situation and a dog’s intelligence and how our puppy would respond. Each time my puppy tested us in different ways, Jay taught me how to take control in a patient and kind manner. Each time he showed up my dog was more and more eager to welcome him. Before Jay started helping us train our puppy, I was really at crossroads if I had made the right decision and now we are able to comfortably enjoy the new member of our family!Thank you Jay from bottom of my heart for helping me to be more patient and understanding of my puppy also 💚
Jay was amazing with our puppy Snoop! As first-time dog parents, we had no idea where to start. Jay guided us through every step of home training. He made the whole process so much easier. We couldn’t have done it without him. Highly recommended. Thanks, Jay!
Jay is an absolute fantastic dog trainer. My 1 year old chihuahua Bailey was hyper and uncontrollable until I hired Jay. With lots of positive reinforcement Bailey is a much better behaved dog. He was very friendly, always on time, and taught me so much! Thank you so much from me and Bailey.
We hired Jay and Top Dog Training when we adopted our new Pitbull mix puppy. She was 12 weeks when we got her and we were concerned that as she grew, we needed to be sure she was well trained and obedient. We also have a 9 year old hound mix who doesn’t always get along with other dogs, although she is very sweet with people. We wanted some help and advice on how to integrate the two of them with each other.Jay was terrific! After one session the puppy had the beginning of a good recall as well as other basic commands. He also worked with the older dog and gave us helpful tips on how to start getting them used to each other, which has been working wellWe continued using the techniques Jay taught us with both dogs. The puppy is now 6 months old and responds very consistently to commands like touch, stay, settle and is getting to be a pro at walking on the leash.Jay did a great job for us and with our dogs and we highly recommend him!
It was a pleasure working with Jay! He was so kind and patient with our 4 month old toy poodle Theo. After the first session, as soon as Jay came each week, Theo was so excited to see him. My family and I were amazed at how well Theo listened to Jay. Jay gave us such helpful tips that we will be carrying over each day for Theo as he continues to grow. I highly recommend Jay as a trainer!
Jay was absolutely incredible with training our girl Nyliah. She responded so well to all aspects of his training program. He was incredibly patient and explained every step of training so we can understand the process. In addition to training our puppy he also trained us! We highly recommend Top Dog Training to any pet parent looking for positive results with their pets.
Jay was so great! My puppy Simba would get so excited to see him every session. Simba learned a lot and so did we! We are incredibly grateful and thankful for everything Jay taught us. He was so patient and kind with his approach!
Jay did a fantastic job with Winnie’s training. His approach is so welcoming. He makes not only Winnie feel comfortable with his methods but we were also happy that his training only involved treats and positive reinforcement. I said it to Jay many times, the reason why I loved his training was the fact that he simplified the training. As a first time dog parent, you come arcross so many techniques online but Jay really said “hey let’s keep things simple but consistent” and that truly did the trick. I would 100% recommend Jay to anyone looking to train their dog and not sure who to go with. Will definitely be using Jay again for the advanced off-leash training program that he has. Here’s a picture of Winnie + Jay on Winnie’s “graduation” day ☺️
Jay was absolutely great to work with! He had so much patience with our little firecracker Samuel. He gave me all of the tools I need to know on how to continue training Samuel and I couldn’t be more appreciative. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for guidance with puppy training, you won’t regret it! Thanks again Jay! :)
I am a first time owner to a very curious and energetic pup and it was very important to me to begin her training from young. Jay has such a calm and positive demeanor which my 10 week old pup took to immediately. Everytime she saw him, she was always eager greet him and to begin her training. By the end of the in-home trainings, I could already begin to see a difference in her behavior. I was also highly appreciative of all the advice and recommendations that Jay provided to me to aid in my pups overall care. Thank you for all that you did Jay! Maya and I are eternally grateful.
Our 6 month old bernedoodle, Harley, learned so much from Jay! Every time Jay walked through the door, Harley would be so excited. Harley mastered a lot of commands and even some tricks. Jay also supported us in training her ourselves at home and we will continue to use his strategies even after our sessions are complete. We look forward to eventually continuing training with Jay for outdoor training. Thank you, Jay!
Thank you Jay for your expertise. I am a first time dog owner, so I had little idea how to train my 4 months old Mini Goldendoodle. And he is full of energy and is a mischievous little guy. Jay had this commanding presence that my puppy loved and respected. After just first few sessions, I saw some improvement from my puppy. It’s wonderful that Jay is able to answer questions even when we finished our package. Give Jay a try, I think you’d be pleased too!
Jay was a great trainer! He was so calm and patient working with our 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Hudson. Jays overall knowledge in dogs and their behaviors made me feel that hudson was in good hands. Hudsons favorite part of the week was his training sessions with Jay! At four and a half months Hudson knows all the basic commands and is eager to learn more.
Jay was a great trainer to our four month old cockapoo. Lucy learned many helpful commands, got her biting under control and we can easily get her leash on now. Jay is patient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
Working with Jay at Top Dog Training has been the best decision I could have made for my new puppy. Jay has a calming presence that my dog and I both appreciated. We learned the basic commands, and some more advanced, over the course of five sessions. Everyone who meets my dog comments on how well she behaves, and that is due to Jay. I couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!!
Jay came to my rescue when Winston, my goldendoodle puppy, was only 3 months old. Within 5 training sessions he has learned to sit, stay, lay down, get off, walk with me, wait, go to his bed, settle, fetch a ball and bring it back to me! The discipline has made him a better companion and theres really only a few minutes each day that I practice with him. Jay is like a dog whisperer… he is wonderful with dogs. He was also able to train my puppy while my older dog was in the room with him. I highly recommend Jay to anyone!!! You can’t go wrong with him.
Jay is a amazing Trainer. I do not have any experience of having a dog and he helped me mold my little boy to being the great trained dog he is. My boy Levi loved all the challenges that was thrown his way and with reinforcing the tips I learn from Jay he has made this decision the best choice I could have ever made. Thank You again Jay.
It was such a pleasure to work with Jay! From the first session, he was easy going and radiated calm energy which was very reassuring. He was very patient with my pup (and me). My pup needed help with everything- barking, walking on a leash, proper behavior at the park, and I needed to learn how to properly approach different situations and reward at the appropriate times. Jay would go over things multiple times with me which was really helpful, and was never bothered by my dog’s bad behavior. He only uses positive reinforcement as well which was really important to me.I am so happy with the progress we made in just 5 weeks, and feel confident that as long as I keep up with the training, my dog will continue to improve.1000% recommend 😊 Thanks again, Jay!
Thank you so much Jay for being so patient with our 3 month old Aussie, Mila. Mila was always excited to see Jay and listened to him whenever he came for her training, which is a clear indication that she trusted him and that made us happy. The training lessons definitely have helped us as a family to care for our puppy. Jay was always great at communicating in detail the training process and what needed to be done in order to keep moving forward to the next step. We are continuing with all of the tips provided and see a big growth in Mila and how responsive she is at the commands given. We highly recommend Jay as a trainer!
Had a great experience with Jay. He’s very patient. My 4 month old Morkie is now fully potty trained and will do anything for a treat. I’m very satisfied.
Jay is extremely knowledgeable, patient and effective with his training methods. He really helped our 7 month old puppy learn essential commands and gave us great best practices. We highly recommend!
Heres a Google review you could use:---We had a fantastic experience with Top Dog Training for our 4-month-old puppy! Jay was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain each step clearly and ensuring we understood the process. The emphasis on positive reinforcement made the training enjoyable for both us and our pup. We’ve seen significant progress in our puppys behavior and responsiveness to commands. We highly recommend Top Dog Training to anyone looking for effective and compassionate training. Thank you for your outstanding work!
Jay has been amazing with our puppy Luca. He’s incredibly patient, and our dog absolutely loves him. We truly appreciate his help and highly recommend him!
This was my 4year old dog’s first experience with a dog trainer and Jay was wonderful! He was so patient and interested in teaching my dog new things. I learned a lot from him as well. The training was so successful that my dog’s habits from when she was a puppy were fixed within a couple of weeks! I would use this service again :)
Jay was an absolute delight. Learned so much and our dog Pretzel responded to the training so well. Sets you up with a time frame and skills to get the results you want, as long as you’re willing to put in the effort and time. Couldn’t recommend more! Thanks!
We worked with Jay over the summer for our 75 lb reactive dog Charlie. In just 5 sessions Charlie has made huge improvements! His reactivity level has significantly decreased when we are out on walks and it has made walking a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Jay taught us tips and strategies that we can continue to use with Charlie to reinforce everything he has learned and ensure he continues to improve and be the best dog he can be. Thank you so much Jay!!!
Jay, was amazing with my pup and a true professional!!! Always kept in close communication and was incredibly responsive. I will be following up for additional trainings.
Jay worked with our puppy and was great at positive re-enforcement training. He was very patient and taught our dog to drop-it and stay with ease. He gave us great tips on how to continue our training. We all had a great time watching Jay play with our pup. It’s evident how much he loves dogs and how great he is with them!
Jay is a superb trainer who not only gets results, but does so in a kind and understanding manner. Our six month old puppy was nippy, jumpy, and generally difficult to manage. As we would not consider any negative re-enforcement training, we looked at Top Dog as a last resort before potentially trying to re-home her. After a few days working with Jay she seemed to really turn the corner and after the two-week board and train program, literally returned home a different dog. The program includes two at home follow ups and literally an open-ended advice line. Worth every cent.
Jay was very helpful and gave me a lot of great advice. He was on time and training was very effective. After the 5 sessions, my pup learned everything he taught him. Definitely will reach out again if I need help with future training. Highly recommend!!
Wonderful experience with Jay... warm, thoroughly knowledgeable and knows his business inside out. Our puppy Pluto is on the hyper side and with Jays expert help we were able to learn the basics of how to care for and train him. Theres a world of difference now after just a few sessions with Jay. Its important not just to train the animal but also the parents to avoid falling into common pitfalls. Jay is an excellent teacher and we are very satisfied. Highly recommend....
Jay is phenomenal! I have a 4 year-old Beagle who has anxiety. He started to act out and he wasnt being so nice to our other Beagle who was a new member of the family. I was referred to Top Dog Training by my vet to get some help with impulse control for Snickers. During my first conversation with Jay, he provided me with tips on how to help minimize Snickers anxiety. I followed his recommendations and saw improvement within a few days. It only got better once Jay started to work one-on-one with Snickers. Jay really understood Snickers and he was able to keep him focused and calm while working with him. We are a few weeks after completing training and I continue to work with Snickers using the tools Jay provided me with. I am happy to report that there is much improvement. Snickers is calmer, even his separation anxiety has gotten better. He now thinks before he acts and listens to us when we give him a command. Thank you, Jay, for your help with Snickers and Bouncer, we all appreciate you for everything.
Jay is an incredibly patient and kind trainer and helped our pup learn to behave properly!! He is also so supportive of me as the doggy-mommy to keep up with the training and teaching!
My husband and I called on Jay for help training our 3.5 month old Cavapoo puppy. Jay was great with scheduling, always prompt and got right to work hearing our concerns and desires for training. His training was excellent! With a calm demeanor and positive reinforcement (only!!) approach, Jay really connects and makes training a breeze for both humans and dogs. Puppy training was 5 sessions and I’m very happy with my dog’s progress and know he will continue to learn with continued training at home. I would highly recommend Jay and his services and will call him again in the future. Thank you, Jay!
Jay was a great trainer and we saw a lot of improvement with our boy Jet.
Our dachshund Mooka had a great time with Jay and was very excited about her sessions! She is a stubborn girl who managed to learn so many commands in a matter of weeks. We would definitely recommend his services to anyone!
Jay was a huge help with our puppy. In addition to training, he gave us tips on dealing with separation anxiety and best products for our 6 months old woodle. We would highly recommend Jay!
Working with Jay has been an absolute pleasure and a blessing for our family. We love our little chihuahua but she is not a bit fan of guests in our house and needed help with her nonstop barking. Jay taught us how to take control again through training practices that are simple yet highly effective. He is knowledgable, friendly, informative, and just an overall great guy. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and am confident he is able to help train any dog!
Jay, Top Dog Training was thorough, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Top Dog Training, an at home/onsite trainer, well worth the investment. Our family and our puppy, Luke benefited greatly from the sessions we participated in. Jay is happy to assist with any questions even after the training concludes. He also shared his recommendations for the best gear/accessories to accommodate our training needs. Thank you Jay for your help.
Jay helped train my 1 year plus Chihuahua/Terrier pup. Jay has a calming presence not only for the dog but for me who’s never had a dog before. My dog took to Jay and listen to his commands. He now listens to sit, stay, touch, with me, down and is better behaved that before Jay. Obviously it’s an on going thing to keep teaching the dog and Jay let us know we can reach him for help tomorrow or in 2 years if we need it. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to train their dog without any yelling or forcing the dog!
I have a four month old basset hound puppy JoJo who was stubborn, but with Jay’s amazing help she is such a good girl now! I am so happy she had this training, he is great with her and makes it look so easy! Thanks Jay for all your help! We will def be in touch I am sure!
Look no further for a dog trainer! Jay is the person. He helped train my 4 year old shorkie. I honestly love that he conveniently comes to you, learns about your baby’s habits, environment, etc and all of his recommendations work! We did 5 sessions for our shorkie and we plan on doing more! I also appreciate that he’s very responsive, punctual and overall such a positive experience with Jay. Can’t wait for our next set of sessions!
Jay is an amazing trainer who helped tremendously with our 2 dogs. I really appreciate the straightforward commands and instruction he provided, all through patience, positive adjustments, and continuous reenforcement. Its also remarkable how quickly my dogs became comfortable with and responsive to Jay. I highly recommend Jay.
Jay is a great trainer. My puppy, Bella absolutely loved him. She learned so much in such a positive way. Jay used positive reinforcement methods that got my puppy to respond and learn. Jay taught my family the methods and showed us how to practice in between sessions. I would definitely recommend Top Dog Training!
We used Jay from Top Dog Training Nassau County | NYC to help train our 10 week old puppy Zoey. Prior to training Zoey would need to be on a leash in our yard because she liked to pick up rocks. With Jays training Zoey quickly picked up on drop it and leave it so that we could bring her in our yard off leash without worrying that she might eat a rock. Jay gave great instructions and would check at the next lesson that Zoey caught on and retained previous commands as well as learning new ones.Very happy that we found Jay and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Imagine you are a first time dog owner and decide to get not one but two puppies within months of each other. Trying to figure out personalities, attitudes, likes and dislikes all while trying to get them to obey quickly became frustrating and felt like it was going to be impossible to keep them both. Then we got smart and hired Jay!!! Luna and Hazel’s behaviors quickly modified thanks to Jay and his special touch. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Any questions that I had he was able to answer and provided examples in case I didn’t fully get something. He provided crate training tips and feeding tips when we had a little food bully between the two.Before deciding on a trainer I did my research and the reviews were amazing. I recall a review that said “Jay is the dog whisperer” and how amazing the owner and dog were doing after being trained by Jay. I am here to testify that everything I have read is the truth and then some. I am so satisfied and even more grateful that his assistance and knowledge will be accessible even though our sessions are done. If you want to get your fur babies in order by someone who has an obvious love for dogs and is pleasant, knowledgeable and all around amazing, then Jay is your man. Thanks again and if we get crazy and add another baby to our bunch we will be calling you right back.
I have a 2 year old German Shepherd. I was having trouble with him barking at other dogs and leash pulling. I called Jay from Top Dog Training and I saw a transformation in just a few sessions. He told me about some cues to say and it really helped.I will recommend Jay to anyone who is having a problem with their dog. He is very calm and loves working with dogs.
Jay is an amazing trainer! He gave us the tools and techniques to train our pup Macey. She learned so much during the weeks we trained with Jay. He worked with us every step of the way and each week we saw huge improvements in Macey’s behavior and obedience. He uses positive reinforcement and we could tell Macey loved going to training each week. He was very patient and kind and overall it was a great training experience. We highly recommend him!!Absolutely worth it! Thanks Jay!!
Jay is an awesome trainer! He was very patient with Obi, my 6-month old puppy. As a first time dog owner, Jay provided me with a simplified approach on how to communicate with my puppy using commands. Obi’s puppy behavior has been improving noticeably ever since Jay arrived. I am very thankful.
I worked with Jay to train my 1 year old dog, Mia, and he was fantastic. He was patient (both with Mia and with me), prompt, and attentive every session we had and was always ready with an answer for every question I have. Mia has shown tremendous growth in the time Ive worked with him and I cannot recommend him enough to those looking for a compassionate and capable trainer.
An excellent service! Jay is professional and very calm with our puppy. We love the commands our dog has learned so well in just 5 weeks. I would recommend Jay to anyone and everyone who might ask.
Jay is GREAT. Friendly, Patient, Professional! We did 5 sessions with my puppy - he leaves you well equipped with training techniques (and how to progress them) and feeling confident on how to approach almost any situation. Highly recommend for anyone out there with a new dog. Great communication too - everything is confirmed via text, email and he’s very responsive. Thanks Jay from Joe & Izzie 🐶
I cant begin to express my gratitude and amazement at the incredible work that Jay has done with our beloved furry family member. From the moment we embarked on this journey with Jay, our lives have been forever transformed.Jay possesses a unique and innate ability to connect with dogs on a level that is truly remarkable. Its as if he can speak their language, understand their thoughts, and decipher their emotions. His uncanny rapport with dogs is nothing short of extraordinary.One of the most impressive aspects of Jays training methodology is his patience. He never rushes through the home sessions and always takes the time to assess our dogs needs and tailor the training accordingly. Its evident that he genuinely cares about the well-being and progress of each dog under his guidance.Not only does Jay excel in teaching obedience commands, but he also delves into the psychology of canine behavior. His insights into why dogs behave the way they do have been eye-opening for us. He doesnt just train dogs; he educates dog owners, helping us understand our pets better and fostering a stronger bond between us.Jays training techniques are not only effective but also humane. He emphasizes positive reinforcement, ensuring that our dog learns in a stress-free and happy environment. This approach has led to rapid and lasting improvements in our dogs behavior and attitude.Perhaps the most telling sign of Jays expertise is the transformation weve witnessed in our dog. From a once unruly and anxious pup, our dog has blossomed into a well-mannered, confident, and happy companion, thanks to Jays guidance.In addition to his skills as a trainer, Jay is a pleasure to work with. His friendly demeanor, open communication, and willingness to answer all of our questions have made this journey enjoyable and enlightening. He has not only trained our dog but has also been an invaluable resource for us as dog owners.Jay is not just a dog trainer; he is a true dog whisperer, a master of his craft, and a wonderful human being. We are endlessly grateful for the positive impact he has had on our lives and the life of our cherished pet. If you are seeking a dog trainer who is not only skilled but also compassionate, understanding, and committed to your dogs well-being, Jay is the person you need. Our family and our dog are living proof of his exceptional abilities. Jay, you are a true miracle worker, and we cant thank you enough for all that youve done!
In December, we welcomed a new furry member into our family. My medium golden doodle, Toby is only 10 weeks old, and training is an essential part of responsible dog ownership. Fortunately, we discovered Jay from Top Dog Training, and our puppy training experience became both effective and enjoyable. Jay is highly professional, and we gained valuable knowledge from him. Training not only educates our puppy but also teaches us how to interact with our dog properly. It helps my dog learn how to behave, ensures their safety, allows me to understand my dog better, and strengthens the bond between us. Most importantly, training keeps my family and home safe.After completing the 5-session puppy training class, I can now effectively communicate with my dog. Jay has also provided me with numerous helpful tips and is always responsive to my messages even outside of class hours.We consider ourselves fortunate to have Jay as our dog trainer and wholeheartedly recommend him to others.
Jay was great working with my five month old maltese, Margo. This is my first time having a puppy and Jay was very calm and patient. It was also nice having him come to the house in Margos familiar surroundings. The sessions were very informative. Margo was so happy to see Jay each week and learned a lot from him, as did I. It was the best decision I made. I would highly recommend!!!
Jay was great with our little dog Chester. I would recommend him and look forward to calling him back in as Chester grows. Jay was always on time with zero red tape. He was professional and focused and sessions proved to be easy to implement myself during the week in terms of practice. Everything was customized to what we needed for our specific situation, and based on how Chester was fitting into the family. I would hire Jay again. No use calling anyone else.
Jay is a great trainer, who gives his full attention to your dog’s individual needs. My dog started off extremely scared of new people including Jay but by the end of the training, not only did he love Jay but was very attentive when training. We learned many new commands and I’d recommend Jay for anyone looking to training their pup! It’s definitely worth it in my experience. Jay is accommodating, friendly, and informative. Give him a shot!
If you are looking for the best dog training, with a positive reinforcement (no punishment) training program, Jay, at Top Dog Training is the best. Jay is an utmost professional, with the warmth of a family friend, and a gentle demeanor that you instantly feel comfortable around. Within minutes our dog was at ease and comfortable around Jay. You can see from the start that he genuinely cared about our concerns, our dog’s well-being, and our family’s relationship with our dog. I was impressed by his thorough interview process and methodical training approach. He took his time to create a bond with our dog and training came about organically. In a couple of weeks, our dog not only was well trained but she had formed a loving bond with Jay, which was touching to see. Our dog’s concerning behaviors, including anxious barking and growling at strangers, resource guarding, and leash pulling, were all addressed. Our dog was calmer, and we were able to walk her without her barking or growling at people who walked by. Jay followed up with us for a couple of weeks to ensure we stayed on top of her new training, which was very helpful. Our experience was a very positive one and we can’t possibly give Jay enough stars. Had we known that we can have this outcome, but with someone who would be kind towards our dog and treat her like his own, we would have done this much sooner. If you want someone who will listen to your concerns, treat you and your dog like family, train your dog with compassion, and obtain positive results, do yourself and your dog a favor, and see Jay. You and your dog will be happier for it!
My wife & I decided to get a puppy since the kids are grown & out of the house. We got Max, a 2 month yorki. We were shocked at how much energy & work it was on a daily basis, just to keep up with him. We found Jay & he was a God send. Through his training & technics Max is now 85% trained & still learning everyday. Our lives are made easier everyday with Max. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to train there new furry family member.
Had an amazing experience with Jay helping us train our puppy. He showed us very helpfully commands to have the best pup!
Couldnt have asked for a better experience with training our Pup. Jay, was recommended by our Vet, and with very good reason, hes exceptional. Jay taught us how to train Bear and gave us clear guidance. He empowered us with proper knowledge on how to train and reinforced the importance of continuity and consistency. Jay is a dog whisperer, highly recommended!
We loved working with Jay! Our puppy Basil always looked forward to his training sessions and immediately warmed up to Jay. Sessions included basic commands and progressed to more advanced skills including leash training. Jay personalized each session to what we wanted most for Basil, and to Basil’s skill level. Overall great value and very positive experience - thank you Jay!
Incredibly happy with jay! My dog was very aggressive when a new dog entered her apartment, he taught me tactics and commands to keep her calm. We spent several sessions teaching my dog basic commands and she listened very well, he has been very helpful and I would highly recommend to anyone. He is very responsive with questions during the week, and I would highly recommend anyone who needs a dog trainer to reach out to Jay
Jay was great and provided awesome advice for a new dog family. Would recommend to anyone looking for trainers !
I contacted Top dog training to help us with our 3month old puppy(he is 5 months now) and I must say Jay is such an amazing dog trainer. His calm demeanor and his patience with our puppy was amazing. He gave us great pointers, he taught our puppy the commands and had us do it with him there. Our puppy loves Jay and it’s always excited to see him when he comes to train him. Because of Jay our puppy stays on command, waits on command, gives paw on command and much more.I am so happy I did my research and read all the reviews and Jay is exactly how everyone described him to be, the dog whisperer. If Reese gets out of hand, Jay I have you on speed dial…lolIf you are looking for a one on one dog trainer, call Jay. Great guy, and a great trainer. You won’t regret it.
Jay was a pleasure to work with. He was great with our puppy. Our dog was always happy to see him. Jay was very patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. He used positive reinforcement to get the desired result. We saw tremendous growth with our puppy in the five week training session. All the goals that we set were met, We cannot recommend Jay highly enough.
Izzie Belle had a great experience with Jay and learning new tricks and behavioral skills. Always on time, gave good recommendations for dog necessities and had yummy treats!
Jay was kind and patient with our little guy. Our pup is extremely nervous. He doesnt let anyone pet him and gets rather nervous when people approach. Jay helped us work on his confidence which was a game changer. Also, Jay has the best treat and toy recommendations to keep your pup busy, which we really appreciated. Jay worked at ourpups speed not our speed. He taught use slow and steady wins the race. We really appreciate everything he did for our pup, hes a different dog!
Jay is absolutely amazing! He changed me and my puppy’s life completely with so many tools and techniques that he provided us. I was able to build a stronger bond and improve my puppy’s obedience. She learned stay, settle, leave it, stop, heeling and recall in only 3 sessions! Jay is such an honest, positive person and treated my dog with love and respect. I’m so happy that I was able to find Jay through Top Dog Training because I cannot imagine anyone better or more suitable for our needs.
Kenji and I had a great experience with Jay. We started after one week of Kenji being home. I did everything I was told to do and practiced daily. Kenji has enjoyed every visit. Jay helped me at my worst times and always answers my texts. We can’t say enough about him and Top Dog Training.
My dogs a 1 1/2 year puppy and after Jay worked with us, she got down many of the basics and even some advanced commands! Jay was always a gentle presence toward my dog and treated her with patience and care. He was great at explaining how to continue training her at home and taught us great gentle ways to teach discipline. He was very flexible with timings and adhered to whatever would be best for us. Would definitely recommend Top Dog training for any household dog who needs to be trained whilst also having fun!
Sam was adopted and returned to the shelter twice within two days, due to behavioral issues. We had second thoughts as well after bringing Sam home. I sent a list of goals to Jay, pleading for help. Two months later, all goals have been met. We enjoy each other and live in harmony. Sams sweet nature, intelligence, energy, and strength now outshine his naughtiness. He no longer destroys everything in sight, mouth, or jump on us. He comes when called, heels, leaves garbage on walks, plays well with dogs, greets people politely, stays off the counter, stops barking on command, goes in his crate, and stays calm at the vet. THANK YOU JAY for teaching us positive reinforcement training, patience and consistency.
We had an excellent experience with Jay! He was very professional and developed an excellent rapport with our puppy. He helped us understand each component of the particular things we were training Beans on, and generally improved our little guy’s obedience and on-leash behavior. Jay also has a presence that immediately got our pup to pay attention, focus and relax. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to train their dog! 5 stars!
I had the pleasure of working with jay on my new puppy training. Jay is friendly professional and knowledgeable from the first session I knew that I was in good hand , jay helped me to get the basic commands down . That made my life so much easier considering this is my very first pet ever . I will always be grateful for that. Highly recommend jay . And this business.
Jay has been extremely helpful and professional in helping our family train our dog. It was very easy to get in touch with him, he was very punctual and we were able to get our sessions booked right away. Our dog loved Jay and enjoyed all of the sessions & training. Jay always answered all of our questions and listened to our goals/ concerns for our dog. We hired Jay to help with both behavioral and obedience training. Looking forward to more training together!
If you are looking for a dog trainer, no need to look any further. Jay is an amazing trainer who worked with our dog Theo (Cavapoo) and got him exactly where we needed him to be. He was very jumpy, pulling the leash on walks and would grab things in the house that didn’t belong to him. We didn’t want this to occur once we had our newborn in the house. We did the 2 week board and training course. It was well worth it. Theo is well trained and behaves well too. Bonus is that Jay came to do two home visits to make sure Theo is still getting the proper home training and adds some additional training guidance to keep him doing well. Jay let us know if we needed him after the training for any additional questions and tips, he is available. I know if I have any dog training questions as Theo continues to grow, Jay is a text message away. Thank you Jay for working with Theo and getting him well trained for our family. We greatly appreciate you!
Jay is an exception dog trainer. He trained our new puppy Maple from being a typical 3 month old menace to a well behaved dog! Jay goes above and beyond for his clients and we will continue our training with Jay in the coming months when our puppy Maple is old enough for service dog training! Looking forward to it!
We loved working with Jay! Our puppy Kaya always responded well to his training and he’s learned so much in just a few classes. Kaya is a very well behaved and easily calmed dog now. Highly recommend Top Dog. Thank you Jay!
Jay is amazing with both of my dogs. One of them is almost always afraid of males but within an hour or so my pup was very comfortable with him. I like his training style the dogs always have a lot of fun and both have improved a lot. Hell also work with you and tailor the training if you need improvements in a particular area. On top of him being a great trainer he’s courteous, professional, always on time and flexible in scheduling. I highly recommend him!
Jay was great with my dog Henry, was always on time, answered all of my questions. He was very calm and taught Henry and I a lot. Henry took to everything Jay taught him. It was a great experience and I definitely plan on using Jay again for more training in the future.
We just finished our training program with Jay and could not be happier, our dog Stanley was a good dog with no manners and a little bit of aggression....he is now a great dog with great manners and no aggression. Jay taught Stanley so much in just 5 sessions and gave us all of the tools to continue our training. We are so appreciate and so impressed on the improvement in Stanley behavior. For reference, Stanley is 3 years old, we were worried he was too old to be trained and we now know otherwise.Thank you again so much Jay!
Jay was amazing with our puppy ! He is a very knowledgeable dog trainer ! Every session he was so patient and helpful. As first time puppy parents , he addressed all of our questions and concerns so now we are able to move forward with confidence . I highly recommend him for anyone that needs puppy or dog training !
Jay gets a 5+ star review from me! He did a fantastic job training our 12 week old golden retriever. He helped us stop those negative behaviors that were starting to develop. The commands he helped teach our pup will make living with a large breed dog a pleasure. His calm attitude was appreciated by me and made my pup respond very well to him. Jay was a pleasure to work with.
Based on the reviews, we had very high expectations for Jay and I’m glad to say he met and exceeded them! From the first consultation to our last training session, Jay has been awesome with our Stella. We asked Jay to help us train Stella to be less reactive to sounds she hears while at home and less reactive to people and dogs while outside. He gave us specific tips and guidance that has showed pretty significant improvements and we feel confident in having Stella be less reactive and more comfortable in the future. Jay was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend him!
I adopted my puppy Milo from North Shore. He needed some training and I looked high and low. Jay had raving 5 star reviews. I contacted Jay and he responded right away.Jay offers a 5 week program and comes directly to your home. It was such a convenience to have a personal dog trainer come directly to me. We met once a week and taught Milo obedience and tricks. Every week he left me with homework to follow up the week after. I saw definite improvement in Milo’s behavior and retention. Jay was always available for any questions I had or how I could improve with Milo.I would definitely recommend Jay’s services. He knows what he’s doing and will make a difference in your pets life!
After we rescued Perry, our second dog, who was roughly four months old, we realized that he had behavioral issues that tend to go beyond what one would expect from a puppy. Perry was territorial, aggressive and as well as defensive and destructive. We started to worry whether we would be able to tame and control our adorable and lovable new puppy, who has the cutest face (mommy wanted me to throw that in:).Then we met Jay.Jay is a knowledgable, calm and awesome trainer who, more importantly than just training the dog, taught US how to train Perry. A true expert in his field, Jay gave us the essential knowledge needed to make sure we could keep Perrys behavior on check. Dog Training is a work every day, non-stop, and with the right tools and methods which Jay provided, we have been able to really appreciate how special and lovable our Perry is, as well as how much more our other dog Lily is now easier to handle due to incorporating Jays methods and techniques. We are really thankful for Jays patience and persistence. We highly recommend Jay and know you will be more than satisfied once your dog is well behaved.
Jay was fantastic to work with. Not only was he always punctual for our appointments, but when we ran into a conflict he happily rescheduled. Our 3 year old Golden Retriever had a few behavioral issues that we wanted to address and Jay gave us some great exercises and tools to help him do what we wanted when we wanted. Would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a dog trainer in the area.
Jay is terrific! Hes reliable, honest and most importantly, knows how to train your dog! If youre going to hire anyone, hire Jay! Youll be pleased that you did!
Jay is very experienced. He knows every puppy individually, and is punctuated on trainings. We are new dog owners with a big size active puppy. He has been reliable and a strong support leading our hands and helping us to know our dog. We all like his classes. Great professional!
Jay was extremely calm and patient with Winnie. He truly has a gift as only his presence would calm her down and allow her to listen better. Jay helped us train our 3 month old corgi puppy into learning some great basic commands, as well as leave it, speak, quiet, place and more! Both I and my boyfriend thank Jay very much and appreciate his time in helping us train our pup. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an in house dog trainer.
Jay Did a great job with our one year old lab that loves to jump on people. Jay arrived on time and went to work. By the end of the first session Murphy was getting the hint that jumping wasn’t going to get him any rewards. After speaking to Jay during the sessions you can tell he has a love for dogs and training them. He did a amazing job training Murphy and explaining to us how to continue with training him in the future. Would recommend 100%
My Havanese and I have been working with Jay since he was 3 months old (the first session was in September). I cant imagine raising my puppy without the help of Jay. I constantly receive compliments on how well-behaved, and attentive yet calm my puppy is - and thats thanks to Jay. Jay taught my dog skills and commands with love, patience, and clarity. I could not recommend him enough.
A seasoned practitioner, Jay was extremely helpful in training our puppy! Assisted with crate and potty training, impulse control and obedience. Jay has lots of patience and was very kind with our dog. He had great suggestions and direction for a dog novice! I would gladly recommend Jay!
Jay was very helpful with our newly adopted Labrador. He is very calm, knowledgeable and utilizes positive reinforcement. He helped our son assert himself more in commanding our dog. Dory made great progress adjusting to our home and in responding to our commands. He was great to work with.
Jay helped us turn a very frustrating situation around with our stubborn 4-month-old hound, Pickles. She responded to Jay’s training method immediately and quickly picked up commands like Touch, Sit, Stay, Paw, Lay Down, Off, Come, Settle, Speak, Quiet, Roll Over, Play Dead, Bed, Leave it, and more.My favorite part of our training sessions was watching him teach my 2 school-age kids how to give the dog commands. Jay was not just great with our dog, he was great with our whole family. We learned how to have really positive and rewarding training sessions with our puppy and it has helped all of learn how to live together more happily. We are looking forward to having Jay teach us more active outdoor commands in our next package of lessons this spring.
Jay is amazing and was very patient with my puppy. Both my best friend and I got labradoodles, and Jay helped shaped them into polite puppies. He was gentle and stern with his teaching. My puppy took very well to training and still to this day I reinforce the methods Jay used. I would highly recommend and I am definitely calling him again for my second puppy.
Jay is very professional and very good to work with. He has a very calm and consistent manner which really worked with my very overexcitable 8 month old puppy, Rosie. He was always on time and gave us more time at each session than needed in order to really solidify the skills addressed. Jay helped us with basic skills (such as sit, implied stay, leave it, etc) and also worked with us successfully on some difficult behaviors that we needed help with, such as keeping Rosie in her”place” away from the dinner table during our mealtime and teaching her to use bells at the door to let us know she had to go out.We highly recommend Jay for your dog training needs.
We wanted to set our puppy up for success from the beginning & that is exactly what Jay helped us do. When we hit a wall with training, Jay came in with patience and helped us regain confidence. Our puppy responded so well to Jay and took to all of his commands so quickly. We were amazed by his effectiveness and know we made the right choice by bringing him in. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank for all your support, Jay!
Jay is wonderful! My dog Sadie is an emotional support animal and he was instrumental in her training. He is very talented and exceptional with “dog talk “I highly recommend
Jay was a terrific find for my family- we are first time dog owners with a Cavapoo puppy. Our dog was always excited to see Jay and learn new things, and he picked everything up so quickly! We learned even more and Jay always had great answers for our many questions. His style and approach and care for our puppy was terrific, we all had a really positive experience with many lasting benefits. Highly recommended!!
Our family had a great experience with Jay! He was very professional and developed an excellent rapport with our puppy. Helped us focus our training efforts and improved our little guy’s obedience and behavior. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to train a dog.
Jay has been incredible with my puppy, Smokey! From day one, he helped us with foundational training that set Smokey up for success. Jay’s approach is both patient and positive, making each session fun and educational for both of us. He was great at explaining techniques and gave us practical tips to use at home, which have really paid off. Smokey has become so much more responsive and well-behaved, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for an outstanding trainer to guide you through puppy training, I highly recommend Jay!
Jay was great- very responsive to set the sessions right away when we got the puppy and provided very clear directions for us and our dog during training.He sees that each animal is special and makes tailored suggestions to have the most productive relationship with your dog. We are happy with the puppy knowing so many commands so early on!
I am so glad to have decided on Jay as Devon’s first trainer. As a first time pet owner with a mini Australian shepherd I realized I had much to learn and training was definitely needed early. Jay has been awesome with training Devon on crate training, reducing separation anxiety, sit, down, settle, walking and leave it. He also gave us many tips and advice here and there when Devon had new issues while getting older. Overall I highly recommend as he is on top with communication, punctual and listens/helps with your concerns regarding your pet and will do his upmost to provide a solution.
Officially finished my puppy Bambi’s training with Jay. Now she knows all the important commands! Jay has been super patient and helpful. Bambi would learn the commands in just a few minutes of training. Highly recommend Jay for those who have puppies but never had the time to properly train them.
Jay has me on the right path in getting my rescue dog to not be fearful of walking outside.I am grateful for that!He took the time to listen to all my concerns and gave me advice during the first phone call - before I even hired him.Thanks Jay!
We had a great experience with Jay. We were actually amazed at all of the progress he made training our “untrainable” puppy. He made it very easy for us to learn the commands and how and when to reward Rocky. Highly recommend.
Well I hear great things about Jay, but I was assigned Ariella, who trains dogs in Queens. Truthfully, I paid $1500 for 10 home training sessions and I felt that I could of just you tubed a bunch of videos and train my dog. I would receive some notes and I felt like the notes were just a copy and paste from another dogs case. She was nice, but for what I paid...I expected more.
Jay was great. We learned so much with the training and can see a lot of improvement in our puppys behavior. Would highly recommend!
Jay was very patient and knowledgeable. Not only did he do a terrific job with my dog, he also did a wonderful job teaching me how to properly work with my dog. Jay believes in positive reinforcement and focusing on “yes” instead of “no”. Jay was always on time for appointments and a great communicator when it came to planning our next appointment. Would definitely recommend his service!
If you are in need of dog training this is the place to go! Jay is sooooo good , patient, understanding and kind. He helped us with our beagle snoopy and his issues he was having. For 6 weeks he worked with him and found out the root of the issues within the first 15 minutes of the session. The next 6 weeks it’s like we were dealing with a new dog with his issues he was having. Plus he learned new tricks! Quite a few actually which was amazing and so helpful and a great bonding tool for you and your dog. If you are in need of help with your fur baby this is the place to contact !
Excellent training I love his approach no cruelty at all to the animal. My dog has been amazing ever since I had training sessions.
Jay was very knowledgeable, kind and patient training our Poochon puppy. We learned so much from him regarding dog behavior and using positive reinforcement. Jay’s experience and love of dogs is quite evident. Truly a wonderful trainer. Thank you so much Jay!
If you are looking for the best dog trainer available, your search has ended!Jay immediately provided crucial information that helped me train my Larry. I got more from Jay in one week, than other trainers in 10 weeks. He cares about his work, his doggy clients and gets amazing results.
Jay was super helpful in teaching our pup commands that are important for house training. He was communicative during the scheduling process and Simba loved him. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trainer for their furry friend!
I had a great experience with Jay. He was always on time and easy to coordinate with. I completed five sessions with Jay and saw tremendous improvement with my dog. I am going to continue to train my dog with the skill sets that Jay has taught me. Five stars! Thank you !
As experienced dog owners but first time Puppy parents, Jay provided tremendous support for us and our boy, Cody. Cody is our energetic, playful, and friendly 11 month old mini goldendoodle puppy. Jay helped us with basic commands such as, Come, Settle, Sit, and Leave it, to more advanced commands such as Spin and Heel.Jay is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and kind. Thank you so much Jay!!!
My Cavalier baby boy Coco started to Jay’s training sessions when he was only 2 months old. Now Coco goes to his crate without me wording, and stay there calmly. Coco knows all words and listens to me very well. Also Jay has been very helpful replying to my emails outside of sessions. He is a dog (puppy) master:-)) I highly recommend Jay!!
Kali learned so much from Jay. He is gentle and kind, very positive experienced for all of us. Highly recommended.
We were ready to give up on leo. Leo was 7months years old, and had no training. My dog leo would bark constantly, chewed on my belongings, bites, jumps on strangers and refused to listen to us. Thankfully for Jay we’re lucky to have him as Leo’s instructor. Ever since we started our training with jay we seen a Huge difference. My husband and I have seen progress in his behavior in the first session of training. If it wasn’t for Jay, leo would of never stayed with us because of his negative behavior. Jay does more than just train Leo—when my husband and I inquire for training advice , he is there to assist and support.Thankfully, Jay is a miracle! SO THANK YOU JAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!!!!!
I would highly recommend Jay to a friend or simply anyone looking to train their furry baby.His patience and very calm demeanor made training a much more positive experience for both my fiancé and I. He is very professional and knowledgeable and truly great at what he does. My fiancé and I were overwhelmed at first with the idea of training our new puppy, however he always made us feel at ease and almost made it feel easy (hes actually just VERY good at what he does, so it makes training feel easy). Our puppy was always EXTRA happy to see him as well. Training our new puppy was a success, thank you Jay for all of your help! -Tamara & Jeff
Jay is highly experienced and was great help with training our rescue dog. He’s very patient and provided excellent guidance on barking, resource guarding and walking. I’m confident now to continue training with Jay’s knowledge and advice. I definitely recommend Top Dog Training Nassau County for anyone who’s looking for help with issues they’re having with their dog!
Jay was an amazing trainer. He was so personable, patient, and professional. He was so patient with Benny from the first minute of the first session all the way till the last. Jay was clear with his expectations of Benny and for us. He was supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend!(Jack Russell)
It was great working with Jay! He was amazing with our energetic pup. Bernedoodles are known to be stubborn, but he was very patient with her and taught us as owners how to train her as well. At 16 weeks old she already knows so many commands. We would deffinately recommend Top Dog Training!
Jay has been a wonderful dog trainer for Bella first steps!! I can thank enough for the wonderful job he did! Thanks Jay
Jay is very kind and friendly. he really knows what he is doing!! he taught my two dogs over 15 tricks!! they are very well behaved/trained after being with jay. he is amazing!! i would 1000% recommend him!! best dog trainer out there, trust 🫶🫶
As a first time per owner I felt overwhelmed trying to train my puppy. Jay from Top dog from the moment my pup milo and I met him exuded a calm that really helped to allay the fears I may have had. Jay was always punctual and professional and answered all questions that I may have had, also the patience he had with Milo also extends to the owner as well. Milo has come so far with only a few sessions and we can’t wait to do some more sessions with Jay and Top Dog.
Jay was committed to his coursework at our school. He challenged himself by working with older dogs rather than easier, young dogs. During his shadow program, the canine and human clients liked and responded well to him. He trained long hours and was patient and kind with the various dogs he handled. It is obvious how much he enjoys training and working with dogs.
I had a wonderful experience with Top Dog Training , Jay is very kind and patient trainer . I did a package of 6 sessions for my rambunctious Mini labrodoodle Bash. Jay helped us with crate training, strong recall command, stay and settle with distractions , some potty training tips, quiet and walking . I highly recommend this training service I received quotes from a couple of other places and they were ridiculously priced !
I had a very positive experience with Top Dog. The owner Jay is friendly and accessible. Jay seems to really love dogs and it shows in his work. He was reliable, not missing any appointments and also available in between to answer any questions. He was sure every week to answer all questions or issues so that everything was always addressed. I will call again if I have any dog training needs. Highly recommended local business.
Jay was a kind and compassionate dog trainer. He had a lot of patience with our Daisy. We feel the problems we had with her barking and climbing the stairs are now much better. Would recommend him to anyone who needs help with their pup!
I’m a new dog owner and have a puppy definitely bring stress and joy to my life at the same time. Jay has helped me to learn more commands so I can communicate with my puppy better. My dog, Haru, definitely has calmed down a lot since working with Jay. Good service!
Jay is an experienced, smart, skilled and insightful trainer. But the best part about Jay is that he is truly a dog lover! Dex loved his training sessions! We were sad for it to end! Dex (and I) learned so much and we had fun learning. We HIGHLY recommend Top Dog Training!-Maria & Dex
Jay is patient and made training my hyper, easily distracted puppy seem easy. Over the course of a few weeks she’s learned a handful of useful commands and I’ve gotten the knowledge and knowhow to approach teaching her others in the future. I live in the Bronx and I feel like Jay was our most professional option, don’t hesitate to work with him.
Jay was extremely kind and patient. He is a true dog whisper. Our dog loved him immediately. I would definitely recommend Jay as a dog trainer. He helped our Mini golden doodle to stop Jumping up and not to bark as much.
My Husky was very hard for us to train as he was our first dog. He was very reactive on walks and had poor recall. Our trainer, Jay, handled everything really well and worked nicely with our Husky. He helped train my family along with our dog. Now we have no problems with our dog and we can walk him on a loose leash without having to worry about any bulling or leash biting.
We loved working with Jay on training our rescue pug, Gordy. Jay’s positive reinforcement training was refreshing after working with other trainers who used pinch collars in the past. Highly recommended trainer!
Jay was great with my four month old puppy - and I learned a lot too! I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend.
Jay was very helpful. My dog and I learned how to control his behavior on walks so that he didn’t bark at other dogs and people and so that he walked with me instead of leading me. Jay explained the importance of walking together. I trusted his relaxed demeanor and my dog loved him!
Top Dog Training is definitely a top dog company.Jay was outstanding, excellent, helpful, friendly, patient, responsible, caring...a first class trainer who understood our needs and helped us tremendously.Our Angel is fully trained and loved.Thank you Jay!!!
I was so overwhelmed with my new GSD puppy. Ariella eased so many of my concerns and helped my puppy potty train, follow basic commands that made my life so much easier to adjusting to the newest member of our family. I highly recommend Top Dog. They made the transition for our puppy so much smoother to his new home and family.
Jay is a very patient and experienced trainer, whom I had the pleasure of working with to train our GSD puppy, Pepper. We have had three sessions so far, and are definitely looking forward to the upcoming ones. Thank you, Jay!
Jay is great… my wife and I took the 10 week option. Could not believe the results. In just two sessions my puppy was already starting to follow commands. By the 10th session he followed all commands that were taught to him, stoped barking at people on the street and now walks next to my wife without pulling. My wife walks with a cane so that was important to us . I would highly recommend jay and Top Dog Training….
We are currently working with Jay and are extremely pleased with the outcome that our new puppy has shown so far. We highly recommend Jay for anyone looking to enjoy a well trained dog.
Before I reached out to Jay I was going to another trainer thru a popular chain. It was a waste of my time. I immediately went on a search and found Jay and hoped for the best. Wow oh wow. He was amazing with my pup Laska. He wasted no time from the very first session. He was patience, kind, and very good to my her. In addition, he was very helpful with any concerns and questions I had. I highly recommend him if you looking for results and someone who truly cares. I was blessed to have met him. Learned a lot from him.
Jay is a very patient, calm, and soft spoken trainer. My dog Bocce was very comfortable with him and looked forward to his visits. Bocce learned many commands, which helped him immensely with his obedience. Your dog will most definitely be trained with Top dog trainers!
As a first time pet owner, I was so nervous and overwhelmed with the training that came with a brand new puppy. While I did my research on trainers, Jay’s page stuck out to me most. I loved that he was local and came to your home to help train and home break the puppy. Jay did not only teach my puppy commands, but also taught me the proper way to communicate and show my puppy how to listen. As stubborn as she is, he truly got through to her. I would recommend Jay to any pet owner because of his kind and positive approach. My puppy always looked forward to her lessons (especially the treats). Thank you so much Jay, we appreciate you!
Helped my puppy become better behaved. Jay is very calm and worked great with our puppy. Jay takes the time to answer dog questions.
Jay from Top Dog was great. He is professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. Within minutes of our first session our puppy was following direction. Our family would recommend Top Dog to everyone!
Jay was amazing with my Shiba Inu puppy. Hes patient and caring which really helps with training my stubborn puppy. My Kody was super excited whenever Jay showed up and hes a much better behaved dog now thanks to Jay.
Awesome dog trainer! Jay helped me train my pitbull jeff and now he does not pull in the leash when I’m walking him also sit and comes on command! I also recommend Jay because he is very patient and explained the process with me.
Top Dog Training 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Jay did the training for my 2 dogs, he was very professional, knows what he is doing as a dog trainer. He was very details in every command, telling me what to do to help my dogs. I’m a happy customer! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jay is fantastic. It was all positive reinforcement! My dog Bernie did things I didn’t think she could ever do! Jay is professional and knows dog behavior! I highly recommend him!
Archie responded so well to Jay! We were so happy with what we learned over 5 sessions. Jay was accommodating and flexible with scheduling and we would recommend Top Dog to anyone who wants to train their fur baby. Thanks Jay!
Jay was wonderful with our dog. He taught the dog so easily and quickly. He definitely put the family at ease and will surely make our dog journey a happy one.
Jay is a very good dog trainer. Not only did he train my dog he also trained me. To me that is a sing of a good trainer. As important it was for Jay to train my Minnie, it was also important for him to make sure that I did it correctly. I absolutely would recommend Top Dog Training Nassau County. Thank You Jay.
Jay was wonderful. My dog was literally dragging me down the street on all our walks. Jay was very kind and very gentle with my Ollie. He knew exactly what to do and how to handle him. I am so happy that Ollie and I both enjoy our walks now.
Very happy I contacted Jay to train my pup. He is very patient and helpful. My pup was very happy to see him when he came. I highly recommend Jay .
We were very impressed with our trainer/ owner Jay.He is a professional who is very patient and informative. We feel ready to continue with his proven techniques and tips If you are looking for an experienced dog trainer look no further. Thank you Jay. Sal and Margie. P.S. Rosie misses you already
Excellent training experience! Jay listened to my concerns and always had helpful tips. Everyone who meets our puppy comments on how well behaved she is.
Selecting Top Dog Training was the best thing that I could have done for my year old cockapoo. The trainer was extremely patient and professional. Simba is much more disciplined and able to follow commands more consistently. I highly recommend Top Dog Training!
Jay was very patient with my 3 mo. pup. As a first time dog owner, I found his methods to be very helpful and I will definitely be reinforcing his training with my lil one :).
Jay is an amazing trainer! He was patient with my Ginger (Goldendoodle) and in just 3 training sessions she blossomed so much. Thank you Jay for everything !
Jay trained my dog who is 8 months old. He was pleasant and kind and able to teach my dog basic commands in a very pleasant manner, he was always on time and very professional and courteous
Jay worked a miracle with our puppy. She still has some way to go but now we have the tools, and treats, to make it happen. Thank you Jay for your guidance and patience. Vic and Kathy
Jay was great, my puppy learned so much in just 5 sessions! Definitely recommend
Jay is a really nice and professional trainer, I did finish my puppy training today and Mohana my dog and me learn a lot. Thank you for all your help
Jays knowledge of working with dogs was great. My Alaskan Malamute responded favorable to Jay. My dog was able to pick up what Jay was showing him.
Jay was great with our dogs and created custom solutions for each of them. I would highly recommend him to everyone I know.
The entire training experience was fantastic. Jay is really good and very patient. He treated my puppy Abbey great, and was very responsive to all my calls and texts. I would highly recommend Jay and Top Dog Training for any dog that needs some structure and training. The post training instruction for me was also really helpful. Abbey absolutely loved Jay!!!
Jay was awesome. He did an excellent job showing us what we need to train our 1 year old cattle dog who is very active. Would totally recommend!!
Jay is a wonderful trainer and person! Always on-time, constructive and uses a highly organic approach that fits the dog and owner. I highly recommend!
Jay is very professional. He worked very well with our Doberman and our dog learned a lot. We would definitely recommend him.
Jay and Top Dog Training has definitely made our lives easier! When our 4 month old puppy started to win the battle of willpower with us and pushed us to our limits, we called in Jay for the professional help we needed and immediately started to see some improvement even after the first session. His patience and style of positive reinforcement training was conducive to engaging with our energetic and somewhat stubborn pup. My puppy and I looked forward to the sessions and appreciated Jay’s knowledge, support and demeanor. Certainly would recommend him to others and only wish we had started sooner!
Great experience overallOur dog loved Jay he was punctual professional and a great puppy trainer !
Jay is an excellent coach with methods that just make sense. He makes is look so simple. Would recommend, and very helpful even after the sessions.
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Jay is very patient and gave us insight into our puppy’s behavior that is going to be very valuable going forward.
He was very honest right off the bat and knew he was going to just take my money. He worked very well with my dog. I would definitely recommend Top Dog Training.
Jay Elfman is the BEST!!! I have a 7-month Shichon puppy who needed training….he was very patient and explained everything!! I insist you give him a call!!!
Jay is very professional and personable. he gave me valuable and practical tips on how to help my dog. very grateful to have worked with him!
Jay is a great trainer, punctual, soft spoken
Jay was super helpful and patient! Worth every penny!
Jay is an extremely qualified and patient trainer.My dog is listening much more than he did previously.
When my husband and I decided to adopt a 5 year old dog named Alma were were super worried about how she was going to adjust in our new home with our existing dog, Romeo.After taking the shelters advice to take things slow we decided to hire a dog trainer to help guide us through the process. After calling multiple places Jays Top Dog Training really stood out against the rest. He asked a lot of questions about our current situation and about our dog and us which made me feel like he was really getting to know us. I instantly felt like he was the natural fit. Over the period of five weeks we saw a big improvement in our new dog’s obedience. Jay was always available for additional questions and always arrived on time. My dog Alma would always run to Jay and be so happy to see him and I know she will miss him, as we also will but its nice to know we always have someone we can call on when we need guidance!
I was skeptical at first but since Lily definitely has showed improvement in her behavior and is following commands and controlling her impulses. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Jay for your help
Amazing trainer that still offered his help even after the sessions were over. My puppy learned fast from him and jay taught me how I should train him in the long run.
My sister had great success with training her pooch here. She tried several places prior and said Jay was the best.
Jay does a fantastic job - clearly explains commands and teaches both dogs and owners! Greatly appreciated!
He’s unbelievable and really gets the job done. My dog is so much more obedient thanks to his knowledge of dog training. You will see differences :).Thank you Jay!!!!
I searched high and low for a trainer for our golden retriever puppy , as we have a new baby on the way . After searching for quite some time we decided to hire l Jay at top dog training & we could not be happier ! He is professional , puctual and it is extremely apparent how much he cares about giving your family and you the best experience. We are beyond happy with the results from training & would recommend Jay 100% !
I learned a lot from working with Jay. His guidance help me to make my puppy into a well behaved delight.
It has been such a positive and wonderful experience working with Jay, our puppy trainer. Our puppy Sadie respects and adores Jay ( and so do we.) Jay is extremely patient, calm, positive and sets each individualized session to focus on mastering a new command, while the dog is having an enjoyable time. We feel both comfortable and confident reinforcing Sadie’s commands each week using Jay’s excellent tools and guidance. Jay is extremely efficient, professional and dependable. I have been recommending him to everybody Sadie encounters.
10/10 recommend Jay for any type of dog training. He was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating
For my 11-month-old, energetic puppy, Jays training has been so effective. Jays calm expertise has made a big and pleasing impact. The sattle command he taught us has been incredibly helpful to calm my pup and also to brush my dogs teeth. My dog has become even sweeter after Jays guidance. We are now training take it, bring it, and drop it. It is a big step but enjoyable. I highly recommend Jay for a positive and effective training experience.
