Why Cow Hollow dogs love working with Top Dog SF

Cow Hollow sits between the Marina, Pacific Heights, and the Presidio (three of the best dog neighborhoods in SF), and dogs here get the best of all three. Union Street's dog-friendly patios, the Presidio's trails, and Crissy Field's beach are all part of the daily routine.

Cow Hollow clients tend to want a well-mannered, urban-polished dog: comfortable on a Union Street restaurant patio, polite with a Lyft driver, and reliable off-leash in the Presidio. Breeds skew toward doodles, French bulldogs, cavaliers, and sporting mixes.

Union Street energy, Marina proximity, and dogs who need to be as polished as their owners. About 12 minutes to our training facility, and our team has been working with Cow Hollow dogs since 2004.
