Unleash your Dog's Potential

At Tip Top K9 Troy, MI, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter. Every dog is unique, and so should their training program. Whether you’re dealing with a rambunctious puppy, a territorial dog, or a constant leash-puller, we can help by addressing any issue head-on.

Dog Board & Train

Looking for drastic results in just a few weeks? Our dog board and train program in Troy is for you (and your pup!). During boot camp, your dog will live with us and receive 2-6 hours of personalized one-on-one training each day. We’ll tackle whatever issues your dog presents with patience. Plus, we provide regular “pup-date” photos of your dog’s progress throughout its stay! It doesn’t end there – when your dog graduates, we’ll hold a “human training” session to ensure you’re well-equipped to keep your pup fresh. Better yet, all Doggie Boot Camp graduates receive lifetime access to our group classes at no cost.

Aggressive Dog Training

Aggression can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to define your pet’s future. Our aggressive dog training program in Troy identifies and addresses the root causes of their behavior, whether that be resource guarding, fear, or dominance. We’ll create a custom training plan to build trust, reduce stress, and teach your dog better ways to interact. We stress neutral reinforcement, which doesn’t rely on treats or punishment. Instead, we teach attention – through commands like “come,” “place,” and “quiet,” we help your pup stay calm and composed, even in high-stress scenarios. Our proven techniques can transform even the most challenging dogs into safe companions.

In-Home Training

Is your dog anxious around other people and animals? Don’t fret – it’s more common than you might think. If that’s the case, we’ll recommend in-home training where your dog is most comfortable. We approach private training the same way we would any other program, with the end goal of having your well-behaved dog go anywhere. We focus on general obedience, off-leash behavior, and good manners through active attention and listening. In just a few weeks, we’ll help you achieve better communication with and respect from your pup.

Puppy Training

Training your puppy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our programs, perfect for dogs aged 5-8 months, focus on building confidence, proper socialization, and teaching foundational skills. Whether your puppy is ready to tackle commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “heel” or needs help overcoming fear, we’ll craft lessons just for them. Our trainers also guide you on how to socialize your puppy, like avoiding dog parks or rough introductions to stubborn adult dogs. With patience, consistency, and the proven Tip Top Method, your pup will be ready to explore the world!

Tony was great! Very patient and knew his training!
Tony was very patient in training us and our dog. Great job
From the moment that Trevon came to our home to meet our 8 month old Corso (Rhea) we immediately knew that Tip Top K-9 was exactly what we needed. He took the time to explain the purpose and the science behind neutral reinforcement training. He wasn't pushy or "salesy" about explaining all of the different training packages that they offered and helped us figure out which option was best for our family and for Rhea.We opted for the 2 class in home package. Thaeden came to our home and was super polite, friendly and professional. He made all of us including Rhea feel at ease and comfortable. He was patient yet firm with us and thoroughly explained every step of the training. He encouraged us to continue to put in the work daily with her. We opted to train for 2 months at home before we had our second class. Well worth it. Rhea was able to master the commands we learned in our first class and was ready to move on to more complicated skills. We are truly grateful for both Trevon and Thaeden and cant wait to continue our lifetime training every week at the free group sessions that are included with the purchase of ANY training package.Thanks Tip Top K-9
Tony was great when it was time to pick up our fur babies and returning them once they’ve completed their training. Very professional experience and our dogs are behaving better with manners and listening skills. I would highly recommend Tip Top K9. Tony was awesome!!!

I’m so impressed with my Oso’s transformation!! Thank you to his trainer Tony, he was so patient and thorough with teaching my family and I how to continue training Oso. Thanks TTK9!
Thaeden was my at home trainer. We did some privates with him and they went so well! One that blew me away was the quiet command. My standard poodle has a tendency of barking at the door and in less than 24 hours my poodle was no longer barking! I am going to have my 4 month Aussie do board and train for 1 week so I will update you guys on that as well! Definitely 5 star !
This was a life saver. Going from not having any control and hoping our dog just got better. To now having amazing and well behaved 1 year old pup. It’s not only better for us, but we’re confident that our dog is going to have a much better life because of it. Thank you so much for everything!
First time dog owners with a year old puppy. Did two lessons. Excellent experience. Wonderful training methods. Very effective. Awesomeness all the way around with tip top k9
Tip Top K9 has provided us with the tools to make sure that our Rottie can be the best ever. I love the personalized sessions and how easy it has been to work with the trainer and our dog. Thank you so much!
We sent our dog Brutus to Tip Top K9 Gilbert to participate in the More Manners boot camp. Brutus is a high energy 15 month old English Springer Spaniel, and he had previously spent 5 weeks at another trainer about 6 months ago which was expensive and ineffective. Brutus is a bit of a bully with his older (but smaller) brother and sister and he was exhibiting some bad behaviors, and only listened to us when he felt like it - which was rare, we could not control him. We had a few incidents where he was guarding treats with our other dogs and snapping at them but then when I would pull him away he would nip me. He was the classic large, energetic dog with no boundaries in his mind. We were at the point where we either had to try training again or rehome him to a place he could be an only dog but regardless needed more training. I read a lot of reviews online because obviously I was led astray the first time thinking going local to one trainer who would train in his home would be the most ideal situation. Tip Top has a professional, indoor facility, multiple trainers and had hundreds of great reviews so we took a chance and Trevon came out and worked with Brutus to show us how they work and discuss options. The one thing he said that really helped me understand dog training is that he said he can’t teach him how he feels, but he can teach him how to respond. I felt like that was a really fair and real response and thinking that you can change how your dog feels is an impossible hope. We decided on the More Manners program, I was happy to see that we would pay one price and he would come home when he was ready, regardless of how much time it would take. This is the opposite of the first trainer who in hindsight I felt milked us for extra weeks but didn’t really deliver. I figured Tip Top was probably going to have him for a long time to get him to come around, but I was wrong. They said average days in the More Manners boot camp is 19 days, Brutus came home on day 18. When Tony picked Brutus up, the most amazing thing is on his way here for the pickup, he found a small dog running in the street. He brought the dog with him and called the owner and made sure she was safe - a true dog lover. We went over all the details and got Brutus out the door. We received his report cards on Fridays along with pictures where he always looked happy, and we felt better when we saw the reports. I was amazed when we were told he was ready and Tony brought him back home. He spent almost 2 hours teaching us every single command, walking us through executing the commands and giving us lots of great tips tailored to our situation. Brutus definitely wants to perform the commands and it is clear they were drilled into him in typical boot camp fashion. I could see Brutus likes and respects Tony which tells me that the training was not traumatic for him, and he responded well to everything we threw at him. I mentioned I wanted to know how to keep him from charging through doors and we did that right there on the spot and Brutus picked it up right away. Tony was more than willing to talk through or show us how to handle any scenarios we were unsure about. Before he left he invited us to the group training sessions - Tip Top guarantees the training and you can do the sessions anytime you want as long as you own the dog for no additional fee - I like this because we now have ongoing access to any support we might need in the future. Since his return, Brutus is definitely more aware of our expectations and paying attention to us to for his next command. Tony is a superstar trainer who has such a gentle and nice way with the animals, you just know he truly loves them and wants to make them better. I will definitely recommend Tip Top and am grateful to have found them.
We had a fiesty chihuahua. Our choices with a baby arriving were to either get rid of the dog or try and train her. We went with training. They were OK with taking a dog with aggressive behavior, resource guarding, and being a bully to other dogs. In their 2 week program, they turned our dog around. We've only had her a day. She's still the cute, loveable dog we had before but without the behavior issues. We feel pretty confident that when our baby arrives that she will be safe.
Tony, is the most genuine trainer my wife and I have ever dealt with in over 25 years of dog ownership.He truly cares about the dogs first and what works for your dog or dogs. Tonight Tony brought our 14-month Peks home tonight and then trained us the right way to work with our lil dogs.You cannot go wrong with Tony or Tip TopGod bless you Tony
Tony was incredible He was so calm and patient with us. I highly recommend Tip Top for your dog. Thank you again, Tony!
