Lakeway Pet Parents Can’t Stop Raving About Us

Tony did great! He walked the whole family through all the commands and we feel super prepared in continuing our dog's training.

Tony was friendly, professional and very well informed. Took time to answer all questions thoroughly. Highly recommend!

Tony helped out a lot with my dog Cleo and allowing us to learn to continue to train her thanks Tony!

Tony was super awesome and super helpful!

Thaeden is a great trainer,.. George has made great progress.

Our experience with Tony has been amazing. He is very good at his job and taught us everything we need to know about training our dog. We are very excited to start this journey with our dog

My experience with Tony had been amazing. He is very knowledgeable and helped us a lot! We feel ready to train our dog once we got home

The staff was great and very responsive. Tony and Trevin went out of their way to keep us updated with my four year old chihuahua’s progress. He came home with the tools to succeed and curb his reactive behaviors. Thank you so much!

Our trainer was Tony and he did an amazing job explaining how to do the commands. It was really easy to follow what he was saying.

Tony was excellent! He was thorough and very experienced. I felt a little anxiety letting my dog go, but Tony and the team made sure I had the information to feel at ease. Thanks for your kindness and keeping me informed, I'd give you ten stars if I could!

Great training! Tony was excellent.

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!

Tony was amazing. We finally have a well behaved dog!

Tony did an excellent job teaching us what they taught Charlie

Tony - went above and beyond for our doggy Luna. Highly recommended for all, to get their fur babies trained! Thank you so much!!!!!

Tony was wonderful! Really patient and made sure we understood everything. Highly recommend!

My 2 year old goldendoodle did great with Thaeden..she is no longer barking and listens to all my commands now! Highly recommend!

Thank you Thadan for taking care of our Lil B, highly recommend!

Highly recommend if you are looking a doggie boot camp! Tip top was amazing, answered all our questions, and my German shepherd came back and I feel like she is a totally different girl, but in a good way! No more pulling! Yay! And thank you to everyone who was apart of the training process. And thank you to Tony for being knowledgeable and an amazing trainer on the parent side as well and being polite and respectful. Appreciate everything you did. We couldn’t be more happy with the outcome!

Amazing!! Totally worth it! We had an extreme humper 1.5 year old Pitbull after one class he was not humping anymore. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

We had them help us train our 2 dogs which were aggressive towards each other, jumping on couches, barking incessantly at Amazon trucks, etc. We had hired other trainers in the past as well as read books and tried several methods (treats, clicks, shock collars, etc). The e-collar method works really well. We have gotten them to do all the regular commands and it’s like having new dogs. Although we still need to work with them on their interactions with each other, they are off the couches unless invited, they quiet when told to, and we can take them on walks together in heel. It’s amazing and Thaden is a wonderful trainer. Can’t recommend this enough!!!!

Thaeden was an amazing training. It is genuinely a night and day difference with my dog Harlie. She was very reactive before, it was hard to take her to coffee shops and even just walking on the sidewalk I was so scared she was going to lunge at other dogs or even people. She can now sit in a place and ignore most of what’s going on around her. We went to a coffee shop last weekend that was filled with dogs and she laid on her place for almost 2 hours before we left. I couldn’t be happier!!

My dog Cesealia has been doing amazing with this training! She is able to be around dogs so much easier now!

We had an excellent experience using Tip Top K9! Tony and the team were great to work with, and we are so pleased at our dog's improvement! Would definitely recommend

Our dog was an anxious crackhead when we got her from the shelter and now she is such a chill well behaved girl. She was aggressive and now she walks around people without a leash without any issue and is all around so much happier. 10/10 can’t recommend enough. The investment is well worth it!

Top notch training for sure! My stubborn shepherd husky mix listens and is doing really well with her commands. It's like I have a different dog. Lol. They thought me how much consistency matters too Thank you Tip Top K9 💖

Our family extremely enjoyed our time with Tip Top K9 from the initial meeting they were able to assist us with our Boston Terriers needs. Our Luca is a naturally protective dog and he just took well to our trainer. We really enjoyed every time we met with them.

Tip Top K9 was great, Odessa came home much calmer and easier to train than months before. Anthony also made teaching her my new behavior as easy and fast as possible. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing trainers! Helped me get my chaotic husky puppy under control immediately! Now he is a dream with my entire pack of dogs. I highly recommend them to any and all people who need help training their troublesome pooch. 100% guarantee can't be beat! I know I sound like a commercial but they are the real deal. I only give reviews if they are truly worth it and they really are! 10 out of 10!

What a great program! My dog went from a total nuisance to a very well-behaved girl in 6 visits. Thaeden is a fantastic instructor!

We had a great experience with Tip Top K9 Dog Training. We started off with a consultation where a trainer met us, assessed our pup to see how she was behaving, then advised us on their best recommendation for a training program. There was no pressure whatsoever to sign up or purchase, which we appreciated.We chose the week-long bootcamp program as we wanted quick results. The program we chose was not cheap by any means, but you truly get what you pay for with a dog training service. They picked up and dropped off our pup at our house, which was extremely convenient and walked us through any questions or concerns we had.Our pup had really quick results and was ready to come home in just 7 days! They gave us updates and shared a video with us midway through her program. When she was dropped off, her trainer, Tony, came into our home and spent an hour walking us through all of our pups new commands and how to use the training collar. Tony was wonderful! Very kind and extremely respectful. With very few attempts, my pup was listening to my new commands. I would absolutely recommend this training service!

I can’t say enough great things about this dog training bootcamp! My dog Draco just finished the program, and the transformation has been incredible. The trainers did such an amazing job—he’s learned so much and it’s made life so much easier for both of us. He’s more obedient, calm, and responsive, and I can tell he’s more confident too. The team was professional, communicative, and truly cared about Draco’s progress. Kameron & Tony did an excellent job explaining and demonstrating how to continue Draco’s training now that he’s home. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog. Thank you for all your hard work!

Great team, great communication 👍Our Poppy returned home after 3 weeks of training, with a totally different behavioral habits. Now he listens, follows, and it has become much easier to train him even further. Thanks to the whole Tiptop team specially Kameron whom patiently thought us how to communicate with our Poppy. 🙏

We had a great experience with this company! They were (and still are ) professional, responsive, dependable, and reliable. Not to mention, our fur baby has learned all his basic commands in short amount of time. The lifetime of weekly training group sessions offered (free!) will help us build on those new skills! We are so excited that we can now bring our fur baby with us anywhere we go, minus the concerns we previously had!Thank you Tip Top, Cameron, and Thaedon!!!

Highly recommend Tip Top K-9 for all dog training! After just 1 week, Ares showed amazing results. I was worried at first as German shepherds can be stubborn with training if not done properly. Trevon from the first encounter reassured me Ares would be in good hands and definitely delivered! A huge thank you to the whole team for the great work!

Had a great experience! Thaeden is really personable! Would recommend!

Great company. Thaeden is a great trainer to work with. You won’t regret it.

I cannot recommend Tip Top K9 enough! We recently rescued a one-year-old German Shepherd who had been experiencing behavioral issues with her previous owner, and we knew she needed training as soon as possible. We had the pleasure of meeting Trevor for our initial consultation, and his expertise was immediately evident. He thoroughly explained all our training options, and we decided to enroll her in the 2-week boot camp.After her boot camp, we noticed some lingering issues. After discussing with Alex and Kameron, they recommended additional one-on-one sessions, which we gladly agreed to. What truly stood out was Kameron’s care and attention to detail—he even replaced the prongs on her e-collar after noticing she might be allergic to the material. It was clear they genuinely cared about Nova’s well-being and made sure she had the best experience possible.From start to finish, Tip Top K9 went above and beyond to address all of our needs. They not only helped Nova overcome her challenges but also showed true dedication and commitment to her success. We are incredibly grateful for everything they've done. Thank you, Tip Top K9, for taking such amazing care of our sweet girl!
