Our Mission

Top Dog Training was developed for the very reason you may be visiting this website: To bring out the absolute best in a relationship between you and your pet. It’s about family. Keeping them safe. And enjoying every aspect of our four legged friends.
Top Dog Training is simply the best in the business of dog training and behaviour modification. And we will back it up. “If your jaw doesn’t drop with what you learn and observe in your first session...then don’t pay us!”
Top Dog Training will customize a one on one training program to suit your family lifestyle. We will provide expert service in your home and environment. On your streets and in your parks...Where your dog needs it most. All of our training is conducted in real life settings. Rather than artificial classrooms, we attack the issues on site.
Top Dog Training will work with all members of your household. From infants to seniors...no one will be ignored. From puppies to adults...no dog is too little or too old.
Top Dog Training achieves lifelong results quickly, through positive and supportive strategies.
Troy Tappin has been individually training families for over twenty years. His word of mouth referrals have made him a household name and is renowned with a spotless reputation throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. His natural abilities and clear communication skills will be easily recognized, as you marvel at his “dog-like” movements the moment you meet.
His abilities, coupled with his long-standing empathy and dedication to dogs and their owners, continues to bring the highest respect from all in the dog world. He has been called dog whisperer, dog god, and dozens of perhaps overused “titles”. To his thousands and thousands of clients (two legged or four), he is simply known as “Uncle Troy”.
The expression we most often hear when interviewing a new client is: “My dog is the sweetest dog ever! We love him so much! If only...”
And it seems as though most dog owners have a very long, ‘if only’ list.
Everyone who is responsible, wants a well trained dog. Whether you are looking for the classic obedient dog, or equally valued well behaved companion; at Top Dog Training, you can have it all. Whatever level of training or however many years of previous experience in handling dogs, we are committed to taking you to the next level.
After all, these are pets who will share our lives for the next ten or twenty years! We will help develop a program that will accommodate the now, as well as the many changes the years may bring. You may be single now, but may have plans to get married. You may be a couple now, but have plans for children. How will the dog you have now, make those adjustments? Top Dog Training will guide you through it all.
Our goal at Top Dog Training is bring out the best in dogs and dog owners alike.
We have seen the most extreme situations result in absolute triumph at home. We have helped puppies grow into champions in the ring. Beyond the celebrities and athletes, we have helped families unite. To share time and space with the animals we have come to love and know as our loyal and devoted friends. These are the moments we celebrate at Top Dog Training.
Our love, mutual respect and trust in dogs is not just what we do at Top Dog Training...It is who we are!
