Trained  Puppies

I reached out to Hilltop Labradoodles in September 2022 after my senior dog, Mo, passed away from old age at 15. I had lost my other senior, Jacques, (18) earlier in January.

I shared with Merritt my struggle with PTSD and social anxiety, emphasizing that I was looking for a mellow, well behaved canine citizen, who could help me face life’s daily challenges. That is when she mentioned that her Moe (now George) might be a good fit.

I chose to enroll Moe/ George in Hilltop Labradoodles’ Best Dog Training program…one of the better decisions I have ever made. Under Dan’s watchful supervision and diligent training, I ended up with the BEST dog I ever had (and I have had quite a few dogs over the years). 

Merritt and Dan listened to what I was looking for in a dog: a puppy with an old soul… not an easy request…but just like that, after weeks of training, they brought me George! 

Not only is George stunning (he gets so many compliments, I hope the fawning doesn’t go to his head), he is also the product of responsible breeding, sound genetics, and fantastic training! He is the perfect emotional support dog, hopefully soon to be certified as a service dog. 

Merritt and Dan understood the needs of a person with an emotional disability; in breeding and training George, they successfully matched the right human with the right canine. 

Thank you Hilltop Labradoodles, and thank you Merritt and Dan. I am deeply grateful for George. 



Testimonials

We had been researching a family dog for quite some time when we came across Hilltop Labradoodles. We contacted Merritt in March of 2023. My husband had never had a dog. My daughter was desperate for a furry best friend. Our household thrives on calmness and structure and we knew we needed a dog who was trained so it would be a good experience for our family as well as the dog. 

We met a handful of Hilltop’s trained dogs. We were impressed to say the least when all the dogs were with new “strangers” and behaving respectfully and obediently yet playfully. The dogs and humans were sharing space harmoniously. They had a demeanor unlike any we had seen. Although each dog was unique, there was a calmness and confidence in each dog. I’ve never sat in a living room with 5 dogs peacefully. Our daughter bonded with our now Maple girl. We commited to Maple who was in the Best Dog program. We were so happy they chose us to be her family. We knew she’d be a good dog, but we had no idea just ‘how good.’ 

Maple receives compliments wherever we go. People are astounded that she is a puppy and so calm. Welcoming her into our home was an easy transition for all involved because of her training. She is a joy to take on walks. She respects other dogs and people. She doesn’t bark or jump. She is so well behaved. Maple is easy to take on errands (an excellent car passenger). She doesn’t whine and isn’t easily excitable. For example, she can go to an outdoor patio with us and lay under the table. We don’t even know she’s there. Maple would be a terrific therapy dog. 

Maple is beautiful and receives so many compliments. Beyond her good looks, she is even more captivating with her training and demeanor. I can never thank Dan and Merritt enough. They’ve given us a gift that has changed our lives and are eternally grateful for Maple coupled with their superb and skillful training program.
