Our Story

Top Paw K9 Academy was founded by Jennifer and is located in Denver, Colorado. Jennifer has dedicated her life's work to training and helping dogs and their owners better their bond. Top Paw K9 Academy runs on a unique philosophy, recognizing that training dogs is not a one size fits all approach. Every dog is met with caring encouragement and respect to ensure that both owner and dog are confident in their abilities as a team.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help each dog reach their full potential by identifying individual needs, using positive reinforcement, balanced training methods, and establishing a level of understanding between owner and K9.

Methodology

Jennifer uses a variety of methods within her training programs. Dogs, like people, are all individuals. What works for one dog, may not work for another. Knowing this, Jennifer uses a tailored approach to her training to ensure that all dogs are learning in a way that will benefit them for life.

Training Techniques

Every training technique used or suggested by Jennifer is backed by research and experience. Every training session is approached with kindness, patience, and understanding. All training is done in a non-judgmental and non-rushed environment.

Owner of Crystal's Grooming

Crystal

I'm Crystal! I'm a Colorado native and I've always had a passion to work with animals even as a child (dogs especially) and I'm proud to say I've been happily and successfully grooming for over 11 years! I have a German shepherd who LOVES to hike, named Minerva. I also have two cats named Akasha and Reeses whom I adore! When it comes to my work, it's my goal to make your pet happy and healthy. I specialize in all breeds of all sizes, but I love working with "difficult, misunderstood, or aggressive" breeds. These dogs just need the right patience, love and understanding!
