About this Nominee
NEW NAME. SAME AWARD-WINNING TRAINERS.
TOP Dog Training is becoming Pawprint Academy! We’re the same local team behind your 2025 Topsail’s Top Choice 1st Place winner for Dog Obedience Training, with the same commitment to helping dogs and the people who love them.
SAME TRAINERS. BETTER TOOLS. BIGGER MISSION.
Our mission hasn’t changed: HELP MORE DOGS. GIVE OWNERS THE KNOWLEDGE TO LEAD THEM. STAND BEHIND THE TRAINING WE OFFER.
Our local training programs aren’t going anywhere. We’re making them even better!
CPDT-KA certified. Ethical, science-based methods. FREE refresher lessons for LIFE and a MONEY-BACK guarantee on our local training programs.
That’s how dog training SHOULD BE!
We’re not here to produce a dog that only listens to the trainer. We’re here to teach YOU what to do, why it matters, and how to follow through.
We do our part. You put in the work. Your dog benefits.
That’s why we created Pawprint Academy.
We’ve combined professional, in-person dog training with an app that puts training courses, video demonstrations, practical guidance, and continued support right in your pocket.
Our clients now have even more tools to practice between lessons, reinforce what they’ve learned, and build lasting results at home.
And our mission doesn’t stop locally. With much of the app available completely FREE, we’re helping owners everywhere access professional training knowledge, regardless of their budget or ZIP code.
Better educated owners. More consistent training. Better results for dogs.
Because the goal isn’t just a good training session. It’s enjoying life with your dog.
FORMERLY TOP DOG TRAINING. NOW BECOMING PAWPRINT ACADEMY.
Same trainers. Same commitment. Bigger mission.
