Top Hound Training

We have just finished our 4 week basic obedience training with Borna and wow, it has made such a difference. Bane is like a completely different dog, we’re able to take him over to the park on his long lead, which before was practically impossible even on a short lead. I can’t thank you enough for all of the work you’ve done with Bane. We highly recommend you to anyone with a puppy of any size. More...

Borna is absolutely fantastic, and is such a lovely friendly person who made me feel at ease as soon as I met him. He has helped me so much with my two Cockapoo’s. One had very bad recall and the other was very reactive to other dogs. He has built my confidence, and given me great tools and techniques to correct their behaviours. I can now walk my dogs without panic and stress!
I would highly recommend Borna to any one who was in need of a dog trainer. More...

Borna is a wonderful and patient trainer for both dogs and their owners! He has helped me immensely with my 2 Ridgebacks working to tackle a variety of issues with excellent results. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Top Hound Training! Borna has made such a difference to our daily life with our dog Finley.
We got in touch through Bark because we were at our wits end and needed help with walking our very excitable Labrador x spaniel on a lead without him pulling our arm off.
Borna helped us understand why Finley was doing it and offered new techniques to adjust his behaviour. After a few sessions it already made a huge difference. We are now able to walk him with a slack lead and while he’s heeling which I never thought I’d see.
I highly recommend Borna’s training techniques, knowledge of dogs and professionalism.
Thanks so much! More...

We rescued a mixed breed at the start of the year and were very lucky that even though he was a street dog he was happy and confident, however we didn’t rescue him until he was 8 months old and he had never lived in a home or had any obedience. We found Borna on line and after a couple of phone calls knew we wanted to have him on board to help us train our rescue. He lives and breathes the work he does and is very passionate about training and not only training but the animals happiness. He also educated us that it is not one fit for every dog as all breeds respond differently. He did major research into our dogs breed and how he would have lived on the streets and he built his program around that. So far we have had two blocks with Borna , our dog walks by the heel and follows all basic commands , we long lead train him and his recall is still a work in progress but it’s getting there, considering we started when our dog was in his hormonal teenage stage he has made huge improvements. The dream is to do advanced training and we will continue that journey with Borna. Borna is confident knowledgable and understanding. And we would not hesitate to recommend him to others. 5 starts from us and our happy rescue pup! More...

Borna, arrived and immediately put us at ease. The dogs took to him immediately and they responded to his training so quickly it was amazing. Borna advised us too on what to do and any queries we had were answered promptly and in a way we understood. On going support is there and our dogs are so much better now. Would 100% recommend Borna, he's a natural dog trainer and a really nice person too, someone who cares about you / your dogs and the outcome. More...

For such a young man Borna has a huge knowledge of dogs which was just mind blowing. My 4 year old Tebetan terrier had issues meeting other dogs, he was quite over powering and would chase the timid ones. He reacted when the door bell went and was completely over the top when greeting anyone. We had a few sessions and by the time we got to the 3rd, Monty had improved so much. Borna taught us how to distract Monty with different tactics whilst walking and now (I never thought I would ever say this) he doesn’t react. The door situation is so much better and is still a work in progress but I’m very confident it will be eradicated within a short time. The guidance and really informative notes and videos from Borna are fantastic and something I can refer to at anytime. I recommend Borna to anyone who needs help with their dogs - he truly is a dog whisperer. Thank you Borna. More...

I came to Borna with my aggressive and reactive sharpei whom I rescued from Battersea and he absolutely transformed her.

She had hyper dog reactivity, aggression, poor recall and little obedience.

Within only one session, I saw huge improvements in regards to obedience and my control over coco’s walking!
In the second session, he managed to eradicate her aggression entirely and reduce her reactivity hugely. By session number three there was almost no reactivity at all.
Alongside the training he gave us very detailed advice on how to sustain and improve the training with so much support via WhatsApp, the handovers and videos. I highly recommend top dog training for any behavioural issues your dog may have - he really is great at what he does :)) thank you borna More...

Working with the top dog trainer was fantastic I learnt a lot from him even though I’ve had plenty of dogs before
There was always something new that he taught me. He was very accommodating very thorough and did a fantastic handover. Every time he had a session with us. Very detailed to the point on the things we need to work on and things that he can see that have improved.
Couldn’t recommend him enough. Can’t wait to book him again

Thanks Borna More...

Borna is a true dog whisperer.
He has helped Dolly my 6 year old shortie so much.
She suffered badly with separation anxiety. With his knowledge she is far more calm and is steadily becoming content on being on her own.
I should mention that Borna was very patient whilst teaching me how to her help Dolly. More...

Working with top dog is wonderful has given me a variety of options to train my dog in the best way that would suit me and my dog as Borna puts a lot of effort into not just working with the dog but working with the owner and making them feel confident in many sections of training your dog . Furthermore, great advise and general knowledge. More...

There are no words to describe how greatful I am for the transformation of both my dogs. Especially one who after being neutered he became aggressive towards other dogs. The care, love and hard from Borna has been fantastic. My dogs adore him. Highly recommended for all types of training. More...

Absolutely fantastic trainer, our pup now listens to us and follows commands. We’re all impressed with how well both of our dogs now behave.

we had an extremely reactive bully mix,
he was reactive to most dogs and some people who were big and tall or seemed dodgy. we didn’t know what to do in these situations and it was getting worse and worse. from the first session we saw a noticeable improvement and within a few sessions it was like the problem was never there!

Borna doesn’t just train dogs he teaches the owners to sustain and improve their dogs training.
he is extremely knowledgeable and would 100% recommend him! More...

I would fully recommend. every lesson is a fantastic experience and great progress right from the start.

My biggest challenge was to stop my golden retriever from pulling on the lead, but within half an hour he has shown me how to control him
It is now an absolute joy walking him now. More...

As a family of a 1 year old husky Ocean ,we contacted Borna to help us with lead and recall training in April 2023
After 10 sessions with Ocean we have seen a massive improvement with walking on the lead and recall , along with other basic commands . We would recommend Borna 100% he is detailed in his feedback after each session , kind , patient with us and Ocean . We are so grateful to him for his commitment . Ocean enjoyed going on the sessions each week . We have complete trust in Borna and never worried for Ocean when he was out on sessions .His advice was always kind and respectful, honestly a lovely person . Thank you so much from Ocean and Family . More...

Borna was great with my dog Ruby. Prior to Borna, Ruby was very reactive and aggressive around other dogs, she would bark constantly, pull on the lead, the list goes on…

Borna was so helpful and insightful throughout the whole process and gave us effective trainings techniques we could use outside of sessions to maintain progress. He is extremely knowledgeable and the progress he made with Ruby was exponential.

We now have a calm, non reactive dog who can play without crossing the line and who respects us as owners.

I couldn’t recommend Borna enough! More...

Best trainer out there by far, we came to top dog with a very young pup called tj, who is a high driven dog and tought him all his basics in a couple of days along with hang signals which work so well. Everything was explained and we 100% can recommend them More...

I rescued chase from battersea. He was initially a very nervous and anxious dog with an unknown history and at first wouldn’t let other people touch him and would only walk with me.
Borna showed my husband and I how to gain Chase’s confidence and how to become a leader rather than companion. He showed the importance of reiterating basic commands and how to manage difficult issues by creating calming energy and kind discipline

When he came for the second session Borna was so impressed with how confident chase had become that Chase even rolled over on his back for him to tickle him

I’m very grateful to him for his training and advice. Borna is very knowledgable calm and patient and I would highly recommend him. More...

What a great service! Our very nervous pooch loved every minute of training. Super professional and truly amazing!

Borna is a natural dog whisperer .. he has a wonderful connection with dogs accompanied with incredible knowledge and understanding of them.

I really enjoyed working with Borna over the last 6 months or so. He is consistent which I think is highly important while training a dog. He is patient and understanding if he knew I wasn’t sure on how to react to my dogs reactivity and he always sent across detailed analysis of every session and what needs to be worked on until the next session which I didn’t expect at first! You could really see the difference in my dog’s behaviour ever since working with him so I would highly recommend!! More...
