“I can't say enough about how wonderful Top and his family are. I don’t have a Schnauzer, but he did an excellent job working with and training my dog. He gets to know your dog intimately and has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and dog temperament. And all the charity work that they do with the Veterans really sets this family apart from others. I highly recommend Top Dogg, and you won’t regret buying a puppy from them or bringing your dog for training. You will feel blessed knowing them."
