Become the leader your dog needs.

Well what can I say about Joe that he doesn't already know. Trust me, He is just simply amazing at what he does - the amount of stress, frustration and anxiety he has taken away from us and Hobbs is truly phenomenal 🥰 (just to say I have no friendship or family connection with Joe)Hobbs (a 3yr old one eyed lab x shepherd went think) went viral with 30k views on social media earlier this year with a previous dog trainer. We felt that after the last session with him that things were still not resolved. Bear in mind Joe is trainer number 5. Joe came to the rescue as we couldn't take anymore of Hobbs's reactivity when he sees another dog out and about. Joe's approach was completely different, to those we had had before. We spent only a few minutes learning what we needed to do to make sure we had him calm before we left the house and what a huge difference it has made! No lunging, no pulling, no barking - our arms have stayed in their sockets since day 1 with Joe. Please don't go anywhere else before trying Joe, we absolutely 1million percent recommend Joe for help, sad to say our journey has come to an end with this lovely man who has bought calm to our lives but I know we will meet up with him again in the summer hopefully for a catch up chin wag with Hobbs and his dog. A wonderful, talented man who we owe a hell of a lot to - give him a try and see him in action in what is his natural calling - helping the woofs of this nation xx

I was having lots of obedience and walking issues with my Great Dane puppy which I knew I needed to sort asap! I called and spoke to Joe and told him what the issues were. He came round and within two hours she was almost a different puppy. Joe took her out and showed me how to deal with her properly and what to do at home. I've carried on the training and she's doing so well. I had got to the point that I could not safely take her for a walk and since Joe helped us we have been out without any issues on our own. There have also been follow up messages to make sure we are ok and there is continued support if I need it. It's early days but I feel much more confident with her and the training in place now. I cannot thank him enough and highly recommend that if you are having any issues at all then give them a call. I had previously tried a different trainer which didn't work and I wish I had found Joe sooner! Thank you Joe!

Very happy with the outcome of Skye's training. Joe is very knowledgable for someone so young. This has made a real impact on our lives. We would highly recommend him.

We had the pleasure of meeting Joe on Saturday . We had recently got a puppy to help with my daughter's social anxiety and needed our puppy (Casper) to be trained from the onset ! Joe was very informative and also non judgmental of how we weren't doing right by our puppy and had no idea ! But now my eyes are opened thanks to Joe . He helped us correct unwanted behaviour . He himself made it look so easy ! And for us with our puppy it's working really well. So we all thank you so much for your knowledge and insight into how to raise a well mannered / behaved dog . This meeting was extremely worth the money and would highly recommend to anyone whether it be a puppy or dog who needs help .

Joe came to train our dog reactive American Akita who we rescued so we didn't really know his background and what was making him react to other dogs. We felt we had to walk Bear during the night so there was less dogs around, to make everyone feel more comfortable.Joe came to our home to meet Bear and within about 30 minutes of getting to know him, he began training him to walk on a lead in the home, without losing focus, and without pulling which he mastered within minutes.Joe then walked Bear to the local park, very popular with dogs, and of course Bear met a lot of dogs. In total he met about 10 dogs on that one walk, and only reacted to one. Literally we could see the difference within just one session. Joe taught us how to control the reactions, which have worked incredibly well, hes not reacting to other dogs, hes walking where he is meant too and isn't marking at every bush possible!I would recommend Joe to everyone. He is honestly just amazing, especially with Akita's being so stubborn. Two hours was all it took to change our dog for the better.Thank you so much for making our dog walks more enjoyable.

Joe was great helping me with my 4 months old cane corso. My very stubborn puppy took a while to use the stairs but now she is so much more relaxed about it. I know now what to do with he to get her more comfortable around different things and situations.

Joe really knows his stuff - I have a golden retriever and an unruly beagle who I had assumed was untrainable. The difference in just one hour is incredible. Offers plenty of advice about all aspects of dog ownership and followed up my session by sending me links to suitable things to buy that we had talked about. Above and beyond. Highly recommended

Joe visited our 4-year-old WCS, Findlay, after he had developed nuisance barking in the evenings every time I went to bed. It had reached the point where the whole family was completely exhausted, and we genuinely dreaded bedtime. On top of that, Findlay had started barking for attention during the day while I was trying to work.In just one hour, Joe showed my daughter and me a single, clear process to take control of the situation and stop the nuisance barking — and it worked immediately! We're now on day four with no nuisance barking at all.Joe also gave us support with a few other issues we'd been struggling with, and I can honestly say that his physical presence in that one hour — working with both Findlay and us — was empowering, reassuring, and exactly what we needed. We now feel confident and are finally living in harmony again.Highly recommend!

Upon meeting Joe my husband and I were completely at ease with joe very likeable guy, after my dashund got used to Joe which did not take long we all went out . My dog would bark at runners, people, cyclists and also direct me where I had to go, my dog was in control of me. It took 2 hrs from start to finish and my dog now is completely changed, we go for walks calmly and stress free. Joe also followed up with me to see how we are getting on ,which is a really nice touch from him , I would recommend Joe with no hesitation at all very professional, and makes you feel at ease..👍👍👍👍👍.Kim

We have used Top dog with our reactive dog, Joe excelled where other trainers failed. Starting from the basics and making life in the home more enjoyable. Everything he says makes sense and what a difference it has made. Thank you Joe!

Joe is an excellent trainer, very knowledgeable and helpful. Have had a few sessions with my Cockapoo and has made such good progress. Is always able to answer questions and share his experiences. I thoroughly recommend him.

Joe came to help our German shepherd puppy and boarder collie with general behavioural issues. He was professional and super helpful. Full feedback afterwards and keeps checking in. Would definitely recommend!

Rehomed a 5 month old puppy who we couldn't stop it's biting due to previous owners not training it out of him. Everything we tried the puppy saw as playing. After one session with Joe noticed a difference straight away and after 3 days of implementing this daily the biting has practically stopped. Gave us other bits of advice on some other small issues and even said if we need any advice on Xmas day due to socialising with a high number of people for the first time just to drop him a message. Couldn't recommend enough

I've had a great experience with Joe, I had no control over my 8 month German shepherd when walking on the lead within the first half hour we made a complete transformation. Joe gave me all the right tips and ways to keep on top of training I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling with dog obedience.

Joe has literally been a miracle worker.My 2 (rescue) dachshunds were very reactive to the door bell & telephone and in just one hour he stopped this. Of course they sometimes bark but I now know how to stop it.One of my dogs was incredibly reactive when on walks, barking and lunging at other dogs. Joe has given me techniques to work with her and she can now pass other dogs with little or no reaction. This is a game changer - I no longer dread meeting people with dogs!He is friendly, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

I honestly didn't expect this level of progress after a single session.Joe came to help with crate training and potty training for our Chow Chow puppy, and within two hours the difference was night and day. Our pup went from crying and resisting the crate to calmly settling, sleeping deeply, and holding both his bladder and bowels reliably. We've had multiple accident-free nights since, including sleeping through from 11pm to 7am with no crying at all.What impressed me most is that Joe didn't just give generic advice - he explained why things were happening, adjusted the approach to suit the dog in front of him, and gave clear, practical instructions that actually worked immediately.Since the session, our puppy is calmer, sleeping better, and much more structured. We're now moving on to obedience and manners because the foundations Joe helped put in place are solid.If you're on the fence about getting a trainer, or you've been struggling despite trying everything online, I'd strongly recommend Joe. Professional, confident, and genuinely effective.

Joe is a very accomplished Dog behavioural trainer. He is very thorough and explains things from the dog's perspective in a simplistic way. The results speak for themselves which are effective, quick (in my case) and lasting. You must follow his advice to the letter and persevere in order to see the required results. I would highly recommend his services if you need help with your dog.

Joe from Top Dog Training and Welfare is fantastic! He worked wonders with my pup, using positive and gentle methods that really worked. Jo's expertise and kindness made our training sessions enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend him professionalism, compassion, and dedication to canine well-being. Five stars isn't enough - Jo's the best!
