I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tip Top K9. From our very first interaction to Rocket finishing his custom training today, every single person we have encountered has been incredible.Our first experience with Tip Top K9 was with Janette, who came to our home and met Rocket. She made such a great first impression and helped us feel confident that we were making the right decision for our sweet boy.Rocket, our goofy and very loved Bernedoodle, participated in the Train the Trainer Puppy Event and started with a board-and-train. As someone who is VERY attached to her dog 😂, leaving him was probably harder on me than it was on Rocket! Rachael was absolutely wonderful about keeping me updated while he was gone. Those updates and getting to see how well he was doing gave me so much peace of mind.I also have to give a huge shoutout to the trainer who worked with us at both drop-off and pick-up. I am terrible and cannot remember his name, but he was fantastic! He took his time with us, answered our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable and prepared.After Rocket's board-and-train, we had four custom training classes with Matt and Heather, and Rocket just finished his last one this afternoon. They have both been amazing — knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. They didn't just train Rocket; they trained us, too. The knowledge and confidence we have gained throughout this entire experience have been invaluable.The transformation in Rocket has been amazing, but I love that he's still completely himself. He's still our silly, loving, Velcro-dog Bernedoodle — we just understand how to communicate with him so much better, and we now have the tools to continue reinforcing everything he's learned.One of the things I love most about Tip Top K9 is that finishing custom training isn't the end. We now have group classes for life, and I genuinely cannot wait to start them and continue learning and growing with Rocket!From Janette coming into our home during that very first visit, to Rachael keeping this nervous dog mama updated while Rocket was away, to the wonderful trainer at drop-off and pick-up, and then Matt and Heather working alongside us through our custom training — every single person has been phenomenal.We are so thankful not only for the training Rocket received, but for the knowledge, confidence, and tools Tip Top K9 gave us as his family. This experience has been worth every bit of the investment.Thank you to the entire Tip Top K9 team for taking such great care of our boy and setting all of us up for success. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would recommend you without hesitation! 🐾❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars doesn't feel like enough

Mekaela Wallace

We are expecting our first baby in a few months, and we knew our sweet dogs needed obedience training for our peace of mind and our baby’s safety. Dylan with Tip-Top K9 did such a great job at getting our dogs to really listen to us. For the first time in their lives, they are walking without pulling, and not jumping up on people when they walk in the door!Dylan did a great job of getting to know our dogs and their specific needs, and helped us finally learn how to communicate with them effectively. We are SO HAPPY we chose Tip-Top K9!

Leighton Urbina

Dylan did a amazing job working with our dogs to get trained and behave better before our baby is born. Huge thank you to Dylan and Tip Top K9

heather and the entire group were outstanding! max (our doodle) had several issues to correct, leash pulling, barking at other dogs , and distractions. today we picked him up and as you can tell in the picture he is able to be around dogs without barking and pulling. also, communication was outstanding , anytime we needed an update they were on top of it. i would recommend to everyone you try them out

KERI CAMPOS

Gucci came home a Tip Top K9 dog knowing so many commands! We are highly impressed with their results. The family will carry on with his commands to reinforce. Highly recommend!

Emily Johnson

Piper did a great job! We successfully completed the full course and seeing her do place and walk on a loose leash is absolutely amazing. Reagan was very supportive and answered every question my spouse and I could come up with and really seemed to care about Pipers well being just as much as us. Thank you so much to the whole team Tip Top K9 we will be seeing you all in group classes!

Clayton Graham

I cannot express how great this experience has been. My three fur babies have made wonderful progress in just a few weeks. They are responding to commands and building confidence. Our trainer Reagan and Dylan are Amazing!!They really showed us what our dogs are capable of. Thank you Tip Top k-9

Angela Moore

Very happy. We have three different personality poodle and doodles. Each one responded excellent. There progress is easy to see even with our most difficult, who is a rescue. We loved working with Dylan and Reagan. They patiently and clearly walked us through our new training routines. Will be recommending. Thank you all so much!

Corey Lieblein

Dylan was AMAZING with Luna! We have the sweetest, but most stubborn girl. She has learned so much, and it has improved how we live our day to day lives. I highly recommend using Tip Top K9. It is 100% worth the investment. They will work with your schedule and make it completely worth it.

Annie Duncan

We had a great experience with Anthony. We did the in-home training. Our bernedoodle puppy is so much better behaved. Anthony did a great job with him. You can tell he really connects well with dogs. We used this company 6 years ago with our Goldendoodle and many of my neighbors have used them—all with great success.

Christine Coulson

Very confident in being able to manage our dog after training session today!

Mary Morris

We had such a great experience with Tip Top K9 Training! Every staff member we met or spoke with was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout the entire process.Anthony was especially wonderful on pickup day. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything they had taught Bluey. He walked us through each step of how to continue her training and progress at home, making sure we felt confident moving forward. He even gave us guidance on how to help our 6-year-old learn and participate in Bluey’s training, which meant so much to us.One of the things I love most about our package is the continued learning, support, and classes available to us. We aren’t just dropping our dog off for training and being sent home—we have the tools and ongoing support to keep building on everything she learned.Our goal is to have more freedom to bring Bluey along on family adventures, and we truly feel like Tip Top K9 is helping us get there. We are so thankful for the care, patience, and education they have provided our family. Highly recommend!

Renee' Pelto

Excellent excellent training !!! Huge shout out to Levi for getting us in and Raegan for helping us out with our Benny boy. Definitely recommend this training program to anybody who may be looking for a class. Thank you to the trainers for doing such an amazing job!

Bailey Poynor

Absolutely awesome experience! Our pup came in not very obedient at all and overly excited. Always jumping on guests and not listening to commands. We picked him up today and he is a totally different dog (in the best way)! He is a golden retriever with the same goofy and loving personality he came in with. Regan helped train our pup and showed us all different kinds of commands to train him with at home. Would highly highly recommend to anyone!!

Isaiah Parks

Anthony was wonderful and we are so excited to see daios continued progress. Thank you so much for letting daio be apart of the train the trainer event!

Spencer White

Had a great experience with the trainers. Our dog tank has benefitted greatly from training. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Taran Casselman

I am SO happy with my training I got from Tip top! Especially the training and teaching Dylan did and helped us with!

Addie Cook

Tip top was wonderful with our nearly 5 month old lab puppy! The trainers were very friendly and you can tell that the dog was well cared for. The post-training home session was incredibly helpful and both trainers (Heather and Jeanett) were thorough and made sure we were 100% comfortable with everything before they left. You could tell our dog enjoyed his time with them and had no fear whatsoever. We will be attending group classes and are looking forward to them! Behavior has been well worth it for our little man! Highly satisfied!

Kristin Alonso

Excellent personal skills. Very happy with performance and result. Highly recommend.

Gordon Watkins

Got my Luna trained & squared up at tip top, Dylan dropped her off at my shopShowed me a few things she can do, few things we have to work but overall am satisfied & happy with the service provided.

Diego Moreno

Dylan did an amazing job with my pup! He is more focused and attentive in public. I definitely recommend their training programs.

Olivia D.

After a 4 week boot camp our girl River came back a totally different girl! Her commands are working perfectly!! We highly recommend Tip Top K9!!

Cody Bowman

We just got Millie back from a 3-week training period. What a difference it made in her behavior. It’s hard for me to train her with her collar but both Millie and I will learn as we go along.

Bob Hanson

So impressed with Tip Top K9! Both of our 7 mo old boxers are home from board and train, & they came back knowing sit, stay, down, place, heel, quiet and most importantly, OFF!We couldn’t be happier with the care and professionalism of their trainers. They gave us an amazing foundation that we’re excited to keep it going with Saturday morning group sessions!Reagan and Heather dropped off Stevie, who was completely worn out after showing off his new skills at his welcome-home party. Mick wanted to join the picture too!

Sheila Overcash

We had a great experience! Our Sadie girl is already so smart but has learned so much from her time at the boot camp. 10/10 would recommend 🩷

Brittany Turney

We brought our puppy here to TipTopK9 for obedience training. They were fantastic with our little guy, and we’re so glad we chose them!

Evany Romero

Jeannette was wonderful with Sadie! Night and day with this dog and she was so loved

Bryan Gee

A huge Thankyou to Tip Top K9, Jeanette and the entire staff!!! Thankyou for treating my Pepper like family and setting her up for a successful future with proper obedience. We are so pleased and grateful for everyone’s hard work!!!!

Brandi Henson

We had an exceptional experience, our dogs went from being incredibly stubborn boys who didnt listen, to understanding commands and taking direct instruction from us.Our trainers was Dylan, and you could tell he really cares about the dogs and our experience.

Ariel Roberts

Great come, quiet, nd place training. Thank you Dylan!

MtnDrew

Awesome people! Shout out to our trainer Dylan. Super smart and extremely helpful!! Our Millie did a great job and has built confidence and structure. She is wired for sound and she now is learning to listen and be calm. Thank you Tip Top

James Lambeth

Jojo has done a lot better since Dylan has started coming to train her. We had issues with our cats and confrontations between them. Also with her listening he has helped us get her into a place that is manageable and helps everyone stay safe. Awesome work!

Kellan _

This has been an incredible experience. The staff have been wonderful. Anthony has been incredibly patient and gentle with Bentley and worked very well together we really appreciate appreciated. All his hard work system is incredible. I have never seen such results training an animal before I recommend this wholeheartedly for anybody who has a difficult animal to control or that bites and stuff I was gonna have to have him put down and I did this instead and I’m so glad I did. He’s only three.

Donna Johnson

Amazing training, friendly trainers who communicate effectively.Did a great post training review/lesson. I am also reassured to have free and onging training classes if I need them. THANK YOU Jeanett and Tip Top K9

David Pohl

This place is so amazing with how they train your dog and the trainers are so great

Tylor Downum

We are extremely thankful for the outcome of our dogs training

Ryan Rogers

They did an amazing job teaching our boy Rusty. They took extra time to teach us all the wonderful things they taught him. We are absolutely satisfied with their service! Thank you for taking good care of our boy!

christine martin

This was a wonderful experience that we should have done years ago! Anthony was loving and caring towards our dogs and genuinely wanted them to do well and learn precisely what we wanted them to learn. We can already take the dogs outside without a leash and do so many other things that we have wanted to do with our dogs!

Zane Anderson

I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Tip Top K9 Dog Training! We enrolled our Golden Retriever, and the transformation we have noticed so far has been great. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about both the dogs and their owners. They took the time to explain everything clearly and gave us the tools and confidence to continue the training at home.Our pup has made so much progress in just a little over a week and it’s obvious that the training works as long as we’re willing to stay consistent too. We know training doesn’t end after the program, and we’re excited to continue building on everything we’ve learned by attending future classes and keeping up with his training.If you’re looking for a training program that sets both you and your dog up for success, I highly recommend Tip Top K9. We’re very pleased with our experience and are so thankful for everything they’ve done for our family and our pup! 🐾❤️ have

Amber Parks

Lee & Dylan were great with our Ranger... Thanks guys!!!

Bruce Randall

My dog Monte absolutely loved his time at Tip Top K9! The trainers are amazing and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They checked every box to fulfill our needs and exceeded my expectations. My dog has food allergies as well as medical condition and they went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. If you are looking for a training facility I couldn’t recommend Tip Top K9 more!

Hadlee Gill

Dylan and the entire crew at Tip Top were amazing from start to finish! Our 10 month old GSD Kaiser has shown such improvement already!! I would highly recommend Tip Top to anyone who is serious about training your dog. Dylan was very considerate and made sure I understood everything before he proceeded to the next lesson. Tip Top for the win!

Adam H

Absolutely amazing experience with Dylan, he was kind and so good with my sweet dog Apollo, the training went so well and this is easily the best experience I’ve ever had with training, Apollo learned so much and is already behaving so much better after a month, I highly recommend them, they are amazing!!

Emily Sosa

Dylan was a fantastic trainer!!! He was so patient and kind with my super nervous dog. When we started, she would just run and hide and didn't know any commands. By the end of 5 sessions, she knew multiple commands, and I had great tips and strategies to help my dog! Would definitely recommend Dylan with TIp Top K9!!
