Great training, taught my dog so much and helped me work with her. My dog listens a lot better and I was taught good ways to work with her.

Our dogs spent 4 weeks at Tip Top K9, and they have come home completely different pups. They have manners and are much calmer. Thanks to their training, I now feel confident and safe taking them for walks. Thank you!

We were very happy with Rocky’s training (come, sit, place, off, quiet, heal) and with Emma who brought him home to us after his training. She is a great dog and human trainer!

Sadie came home yesterday with Anthony doing our follow up training. He was so friendly and patient as we learned how to continue Sadie's training at home. We will be going to the group training at Hunter Park as much as we can. Thank you Tip Top for showing us a better way to control our dog's behavior which will mean for a happier home for us all.

All of the staff were kind to our dogs and seemed to treat them like their own. They were stubborn dogs in the beginning but were well mannered and well behaved when we left. Would recommend!

The overall experience is great. Customer service is awesome and the trainers as well. Joey did awesome with our dog Luna 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.I highly recommend them and Joey as your trainer.

My dog Otis use to pull me, chase my cats, jump on people and never listen to me unless i had food in my hand. I put in the investment to tip top k9 and they didnt disappoint. I can now take him places and have him listen to my commands without having food in my hands. i cant thank Jason enough or tip top k9, plus they are military friendly

Dennis has been working with our dog, Jelly Bean, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s incredibly patient, wonderful with Jelly Bean, and does an amazing job during each lesson. He also takes the time to teach us the proper way to work with him, which has made such a difference! 10/10 recommend Dennis with Tiptop k9!

We signed up our 9 month old german shepherd for the first level of training. She took a while to get comfortable so they kept her as long as it took to learn the skills (4weeks). We got weekly updates from the trainer on her progress. When she came home, they spent 2 hours teaching us how to continue the commands and answered all questions. They also offer group training to continue learning new things. We were very impressed with what she learned and are excited to try some group classes. Don’t hesitate to use Tip Top K9. They guarantee their results. We are so happy with what Cali learned!

I just got my dog back from tiptop canine and I am absolutely thrilled with all of the training. She was very anxious when she came in and now she’s a lot calmer and now she’s very controllable. I got to train with Joe and we had an excellent time during the take-home session tiptop canine is awesome!

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.

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!

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.

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 !!!!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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!
