Brief Bio
John Imler is the owner of Top Dog Training Kentucky, where his approach to dog behavior is rooted in understanding the whole dog—not just the behavior. For over a decade John has partnered with individuals and families to create lasting change through a relationship-centered process grounded in welfare, measurable standards, and adventure. His programs go beyond obedience, helping dogs and their humans navigate everyday life with confidence—going on journeys from the backyard to the backcountry. Through private coaching and residency board-and-train programs, John aims to redefine dog training by prioritizing total wellbeing and creating the kind of connection that transforms behavior from the inside out.
