Why Glen Park dogs love working with Top Dog SF

Glen Park is a village inside a city. Glen Canyon Park's trails, the BART-adjacent village center, and the quiet residential streets around Chenery make it one of the best neighborhoods in San Francisco for an adventure-minded dog.

Glen Park clients tend to live with medium-to-large sporting and herding breeds: Australian shepherds, labs, retriever mixes, and rescue collies. The most common ask is a confident, off-leash-reliable dog who can handle the canyon trails and settle at Destination Baking Company on Sunday.

Canyon trails, village feel, and one of SF's most adventure-ready dog neighborhoods. About 13 minutes to our training facility, and our team has been working with Glen Park dogs since 2004.
