Puppy Training in Tucson, AZ

From Puppy Pandemonium to Polite Pup

Tucson is a very dog-friendly city, but when your new pup’s turning your home into a chew zone, barking at anyone that passes by, and using your living room as a bathroom? That’s a little less fun.

At Tip Top K9 Tucson, we work with families throughout the city to transform those wild puppy days into something much more manageable. Our team helps you lay the groundwork early, so your dog grows up confident, calm, and well-mannered. And it all starts with a $1 first lesson.

Readiness & Behavior Assessment

Not all puppies are ready to jump into training right away. Our trainers take the time to figure out if your pup is at the right stage to start picking up new skills. For most dogs, that sweet spot usually hits around 4 to 6 months old, when they’re more mentally prepared to focus and learn.

Yes. Training happens where your pup spends most of their time, creating faster, clearer results.
