I was hesitant about the training method using the e-collar, but the results were very positive and effective. Jeanette was a wonderful, patient trainer. We had our confident, stubborn blue heeler puppy go through the training process as well as an older golden retriever mix dog. The older dog became more confident and the puppy has better manners.

Danny Brown

We had a reactive, defensive, resource guarding pit bull go through training, and he is completely better with his environment. This training has allowed him to be comfortable around our other animals. Thank you Jannette, and Team K9 for all your help with our sweet Ariel!

Kevin Ring

The overall experience is great. Customer service is awesome and the trainers as well. Jeanett did awesome with my two dogs and from day one you could see the results.The best part is that other people notice all the improvements and how easy it is to correct behavior. Even if your dog is not a puppy you will see the resulta as well.I highly recommend them and if you are able to get Jeannett as your trainer that would be a huge plus. I’m sure every trainer is great but Jeanett is our favorite.

Ingrid Zuniga

Our Labradoodle came back very well behaved and had learned some great manners! Matt came out to go over the program with us and we were sold. When Matthew brought Honor back home we were super impressed and had a great training session. We feel super prepared to continue this training at home! Thanks tip top k-9!

Martha Kell McKinley

I have an emotional support dog I finally decided I had to rehome as I moved from a horse farm to a one bedroom apartment and it became I couldn’t control her, as I am disabled and have MAJOR balance issues and I literally live penny on pennyI saw the $1 trial so just for heck of it , able to afford $1 I brought herI was truly surprised so I told them if they guarantee it in writing that it works, I will sign her upWe had our first private lesson today and if I didn’t know it was my dog , I would aware someone traded her!!!! I walk her every night before going to sleep and for the entire time I’ve been here, it’s a MAJOR FIGHT!!!Tonight when I went to walk her she was trying a few times, I did as Jacob taught me and WOW what an angelI’m telling you,, it’s absolutely a true miracle and I would give them 100 stars if I could !!!Praying it continues but seeing SUCH a change in one hours time !!!!

Lisa Herman

We sent our Chefy boy to tip tops boarding for the last 4 1/2 weeks and I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! We are extremely happy and satisfied!

Mackenzie Hale

It was TOTAL chaos in our house with Stanley and Meg. We lost control of both of them. Called TTK9 and in 2 weeks-ish, they both came home with amazing manners! They did an amazing job and there is no peace in the house!

Seth Phillips

Just saw the show, I haven't actually gotten their training. But it seemed very professional and the dog Koba was very well behaved

Trenton Clover

Love seeing Koba's demonstration at the fair

Jenny Burke

TipTop did amazing with my Yorkie Terrier! Her resource guarding was starting to become unmanageable du to her past situation, but thanks to Joey, her main trainer, he helped my dog break her stubbornness! I can tell my dog grew a lot in the 2 weeks of her being there. When it was time to pick up my dog and learn how to continue with training on my own, Joey was very helpful with any questions, and was extremely patient with teaching me AND my dog our new rules, timing, and consistency. Definitely an amazing place to take your dog if they choose when to listen, and need to break some bad habits!

Jericka

I cannot recommend them enough! We had such a great experience with our doodle at bootcamp for 3 weeks. Jen was fabulous teaching us everything in home after. She really helped our dog and our entire family enjoy each other more and have a more peaceful home with a well behaved dog that didn’t feel like she ran the show.

Tamara Noel

Scott was a great trainer, he worked very well with honey and taught us all the do’s and don’ts on working with her. We are seeing a night and day difference in her behavior. We were a little hesitant about spending the money but now that we have experienced the change we realize it’s well worth the investment. We highly recommend Tip Top K9 Dog Training, go ahead and ask for Scott, he won’t let you down.

Debbie Greeson

Tip Top has went above and beyond for our Oliver.. He's a rescue that is needing Alot of live and attention. They've really helped him come out of his shell. Definitely worth the effort!!

Cory Wallace

We’ve used Tip Top K9 since 2012. They are extremely knowledgeable and patient. Everyone we’ve encountered with the company has been great for our dogs, and they seem to really enjoy the work. I always recommend them to anyone who needs training. They’re the best!

Sigh Mondloch

I want to thank everyone at tip top k9 for training our English Shepherd "Charlie". He is much more calm and at ease at home now. Special thanks to the trainers and kennel techs.

Mike Busenburg

Amazing experience ,super friendly and explained everything really well saw amazing reaction in my dog,can't wait to start classes.

Nessiyah Bat emunah (Luna wolfe)

Great training for the dog and myself on how to work with him. Easy commands and great demonstrations

john hull

We sent our 6 year old dog, Mabel, to boot camp and are very happy with the results. Before boot camp, she was very stubborn and thought she was in charge. It has been a week since she has been home and she has pulled a 180. She listens, sits in place when we need her to, and walks at heel perfectly. Mabel's trainers, Shawn and Coleman, did a great job walking us through all of her commands and took plenty of time to make sure my wife and I understood everything. Shawn even came back a second time to finish the at home training due to the extreme heat on the original homecoming date. I would 100% recommend Tip Top K9. Especially for an older, stubborn dog that is set in their ways.

Beau Alexander

I can’t say enough good things about Tip Top K9! They’ve made such a positive difference for both me and my 4-year-old cattle dog mix, Olive. She can be pretty stubborn, but the trainers were so patient and kind, and they really took the time to explain everything as we went. Definitely the best dog training company in Tulsa!

Morgan Cottrell

Private lessons with Matt have been amazing! Matt was patient with me and incredibly effective with my dog. Russell is a happy boy…on his way to being a really good boy! Well worth it!

Kim Tredick

Super excited to pick up Blaze from boot camp! He has made so much progress! Super happy with Jeanette and Matthew and all the work they put in with our Belgian Malinois!

Elisha Hale

I sent my 6M puppy Noella to Tip top K9. She was a very very hyper dog. She is doing great with all her basic commands and she has stopped jumping on my younger son. We are more than satisfied. It is a lifetime investment for your animals. Cannot say enough good things 10/10 recommend.

Ashley Duncan

Awesome experience!! Reduced our stress level a ton!!

Derek Brown

Had amazing experience with Jacob , very patient , and kind to my animal , he truly did great at teaching making sure we understood

Sarah Fugett

I had the pleasure of Matt being my dogs Porkchop and Pizzas trainer. He was very knowledgeable and patient throughout this entire process and my dogs have been very happy!

Brittany Fisher

Tip top k9 has a great system and their employees are flexible with even the mostComplicated schedules. Matthew, our trainer, was patient with explaining each step and going over it with us until we were comfortable enough to do it ourselves.

Rebecca Moser

Matt is an absolutely amazing trainer. Albeit, he has been my point of contact for all training sessions, this company is worth every penny. Both my doxies are older and learned everything required each session. He made sure the dog understood all commands, but taught me how to properly train each dog on weekly homework. I would definitely recommend these people. You will not be disappointed.

Blake Werner

Our GSD/Huskie mix was starting to take over our home! Ryan came in and really gave us the tools needed to regain control and give us our home back! I cannot thank you guys enough!!

Thomas Barbee

Jannette came out and assessed my German shepherd and was able to set me up with an appropriate amount of training. She didn’t try to oversell us. Matthew was our trainer and did an excellent job working with my dog and teaching us the skills we need. Our shepherd learned quickly and we saw huge success in only 5 visits. I would genuinely recommend Tip Top and Matthew to anyone for any dog training.

Jonnie King

We are quite pleased with the great start our Franky has made while in boot camp. It’s a long journey but the work K-9 has done training Franky and us will allow us to continue. We are looking forward to the ongoing group classes to keep moving forward.

Paul Emmons

Koba was super cute and very well trained

Eriana Bishop

Tip Top has been amazing! They have transformed both of mu dogs and my parents dog! Matthew gets 10 stars!!

Heather Turner

I just started training at Tip-Top I have been very pleased with the service. I am also glad that I was able to find something for my budget.

Jacqueline Gonzales

We struggled with apartment living and being able to have company over because our dog barked so much and always jumped on people. Training was a last resort for us. We ended up doing at home lessons with Mercedes and she was wonderful with our dog. She also worked around our schedule which was not easy as I work overnights and my husband works during the day so we had a small window for training. After just two lessons we saw a huge change with our sweet Winston. He has been so much better about barking and not jumping on people and he is making huge progress with the place command. We’ve been able to enjoy our time with him so much more and having friends over has been much less stressful. I would highly recommend TipTop K9 to anyone and definitely ask for Mercedes if you can, she was so friendly and personable and she is great at what she does.

Caden Jolliff

So much help with friendly staff to make training our dog so much easier!

thehaslerfamily

I absolutely loved bringing my dog here. He is a very high energy breed and they helped me calm him down a little bit and get his head focused. Our trainer was Jake and he is super helpful and answered all my questions. Highly recommend bringing your pups here

Kasi Norman

Mercedes was magnificent! She rolled with schedule changes, was patient with my spouse and I both. She loved our dog and was so loving towards our Luca. If possible ask for her because she gives everything at a 100% level! 10/10 recommend.
