Josh is the best! Help our reactive dog. We are now able to take him everywhere. Can not recommend more!
Much thanks to Tip Top K9. Macy is great. I already checked on Tip Top K9 for my fur baby, thought I would ask breeder for their reference, he offered Tip Top K9. Very happy with MY training with Macy, since they are really training us. Dixie loves Macy and was very responsive. I love the life time group training and if need one on one again, Tip Top K9 is here.
This was a great experience, did eight classes and was amazed at how fast our dog learned the commands.Ask for Josh he was great.
Just finished my last private class with Joshua and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I had a husky with two bites on his record and on the verge of being gotten rid off. After 5 classes with Joshua, I now have a dog I can walk in the park and be in social situations without worry. I can’t wait to start the group classes which come as part of the private class package. I would highly recommend tip top k9 to anyone needing dog training.
Worked with Josh for 8 lessons and he was great. He was patient with both me and my puppy. Answered any questions or concerns we had.
Excellent communication, friendly and knowledgeable trainers , and my baby came back with all new skills. Thank you!!
Great training for our dog and the humans. Appreciate getting him inline!
I sent my reactive dog odin to their bootcamp and from the initial consultation with thaedan, to his training with Brett, and now our first group class last night I couldn't be happier. I never imaged a day where Odin would be able to walk in a heel. We also now have the correct tools in our belt to work on his reactivity and hes making better choices everyday. Im so happy and thankful I am able to give odin a more fulfilling life now that are walks arent constant pulling and reactions. Thank you to everyone that worked with him, especially Brett!
What a great experience for our family! My Cane Corso left sassy and came back a boss!! I appreciate Tony training me….and her!
Tony was great. Very patient and helpful with any questions asked.
We highly and unconditionally recommend Tip Top K9 for your training needs and general peace of mind for your dog(s). Everyone at Tip Top K9 was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable. Thaeden is an amazing (and patient) trainer and he genuinely understood where and why we were having trouble and how to address each of our concerns. He not only showed us how to work with our dogs, but also explained the psychology behind why the techniques work. Best investment ever!We’d been discussing dog training for a while but the realisation that we needed help, urgently, came when one day during a walk our pack of 3 ( now 4) turned into a barking, thrashing, lunging group of creatures we hardly recognised - sheer chaos and so disheartening that we couldn’t enjoy family walks around the neighborhood. Immediately, I began evaluating local professional training options and found that Tip Top K9 was far and away the most positively reviewed service so I scheduled our complimentary evaluation. In just a few minutes Trevin showed us that with the right tools, technique and lots of practice we could be proud to take our pups out in public. We made the decision to begin training our 2 Goldens first (the girls) and based on those results, we would decide whether or not to have Tip Top K9 train our Yorkie and Pom mix (the boys).Thaeden was amazing! He worked with each of the girls individually and involved us after the first few lessons. I was amazed with how fast they each caught on and remembered each command. We worked them diligently and couldn’t believe how effortless it was to reinforce Thaeden’s instructions. They made us so proud. Needless to say, we went ahead with training for the boys. We now enjoy walks with all 4 dogs at once with zero drama. We’ve even gotten a few “wow, what good dogs” and other kind remarks from folks we encounter. We recently proofed the training while camping - no excessive barking, totally calm walks, and a generally pleasant experience.In summary, if you’re considering Tip Top K9 for your training needs I say go for it - hands down, the best investment we’ve made for enjoyment and peace of mind for our family.
Had a great experience with our 1 on 1 trainer Josh. He was very patient and was great with teaching not just 1 but both of our pups! He helped us to feel more confident with them being together and to feel like we have control when walking and taking care of our dogs. Bubbles learned very quickly and we feel very confident about being able to continue this training on our own after all his guidance. He was very easy to work with and very nice and Bubbles absolutely loved him too!
Josh was so amazing with our 5 year old Labrador! She is much better behaved around her little sister and much easier to walk with!
We cannot say enough great things about Tip Top K9! Our dog Pablo completed their one-week boot camp, and the transformation has been incredible. Before training, Pablo was basically running the house, but now he listens, obeys commands perfectly, and is so much more calm and well-behaved.A huge thank you to Kameron and to Thaeden, the manager who came to our home and took the time to show us everything and explain the training process. He was professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely comfortable and confident moving forward.The results truly speak for themselves. Pablo has done a complete 180, and we are beyond happy with the experience. We highly recommend Tip Top K9 to anyone looking for professional dog training!
We LOVED Macy!! And so did Texas 🐶We have a 1 year old golden retriever who would not listen to us whatsoever and Macy somehow managed to teach him come, off, place and heal in 3 sessions!! We could not be more grateful. Love her!!
Macy was great and really helped get our dog to listen to us a lot better
We used Tip Top a few years ago when our big boy was just a puppy. He did so well and we were so happy! Flash forward a few years and now we are expecting our first baby. Our boy was showing some aggressive signs and some reaction to other dogs. We had the pleasure of working with Josh and he was phenomenal! He helped us reinforce some basic commands and we have seen such a big change in our boy since starting! Josh has been patient and kind and gave us all the building blocks we need for his reactivity and setting some stricter boundaries at home. We would hands down recommend Josh and Tip top to anyone needing training!
We took Walter to TipTopK9 for puppy obedience and the whole thing started the right way. They came to our house for an initial visit, met Walter, walked us through the full process and costs, and left without an ounce of sales pressure. We signed up on our own terms.The timing worked out perfectly because we had a big vacation coming up and needed boarding anyway. Trusting them with him for two weeks so soon after meeting them says a lot about the impression they made. While he was there we got regular updates; not just training progress but how he was doing emotionally in a new place with other dogs around. That meant a lot.When we got him back he was the same little puppy, same personality, just with noticeably leveled up attention and listening skills. The obedience work gave us real, repeatable commands that held up at home and not just in a controlled class setting. And as anyone who has trained a dog knows, half the work is training the humans in the loop. We learned alongside Walter and we're all better for it.A year or so later he still carries that foundational training. That kind of lasting result is what makes this worth every penny. Just a great experience from first visit to long after the fact.
We have a mini Aussie puppy who is just full of energy. When beginning to train her I realized I was going to need assistance and turned to Tip Top K9. Our trainer, Josh, was excellent. He worked with the personality of our Aussie, letting her be a wiggle butt when she needed to let loose, but also firm when she wasn't obeying. Josh helped me better understand how to train her. After we finished with the 1:1 lessons, I began going to the group classes. That training was exactly what I needed. Our dog was very obedient when we were at home working with her, but it was a new challenge when in a group situation with lots of distractions.I would highly recommend Tip Top K9 to anyone. Don't underestimate the value of follow on classes, I believe it will make all the difference for our dog.
Sent our 9 month old puppy to the House Manners boot camp (1 week). We can already see the difference after just the boot camp. She is responsive to our commands and can actually go through the doggy door in the back door. We also love the lifetime group class offer that is included in the package. We will definitely be coming to those classes to keep our skills sharp.
Josh was amazing! We already see a huge difference in Daisy’s behavior. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.
I really enjoyed working with Josh! I adopted Snoopy as a puppy and he started to develop a lot of reactive and anxious behaviors. As a first time dog owner, I was really looking for someone to teach me how to train my dog and help me understand how to fix some of Snoopy’s reactiveness. Every lesson with Josh was insightful and productive, and he was extremely calm and patient with Snoopy which was the most important thing for me.With any training patience and consistency is key, although Snoopy is not yet perfect, the trainings with Josh helped me understand how I can be the best owner and trainer to Snoopy.Training is still a WIP but I’m happy that I took the first step to success with Josh and Tip Top K9!
We are so thankful we chose Tip Top K9 for our puppy!Macy was our trainer, and she was amazing. She brought professionalism and positivity to every session, which made the experience enjoyable for both us and our pup. In just three one-hour in-home sessions, our puppy learned multiple commands, including come, place, and heel. She now walks on a leash with confidence and control. What we really appreciated about this program is that it taught us, as dog owners, how to work with our puppy between sessions and build on what we learned. We’re so happy with the results and excited to continue growing at the group training sessions. Thank you, Tip Top K9 and Macy!
Tony was AWESOME and very knowledgeable with dog training. I can tell that he took good care of our dog because he was happy and comfortable around him. I recommend tip top k9 and Tony to anyone who wants a well trained puppy.
Tip Top K9 was awesome! Macey did so well with Jett. He is always excited to see her. He has been a whole new dog from the start. Life saver and worth the money. Highly recommend. Great training, easy to learn, and nice to be able to do it in my own house.
Very happy with the service we received from tip top K9. Josh is the best trainer and was very professional, timely, and patient with our stubborn pup Jasper. Would highly recommend! There are lots of training options to choose from to fit your needs. The progress Jasper has shown is beyond what I expected and I look forward to continuing his training with group classes.
We have a Standard Poodle that is stronger than we are (we are on our eighties.) Now that he has been trained; he is a blessing to be around. Wow, we can't believe he is the same dog. Our trainer , Macy,really knows what she is doing. Sle is the best!!!!..thank you Tip Top and thank you Macy.
We took our dog Sky to Josh and already on day one sky got much better. Not barking at people while and heel in public places. Really recommend it!!!!
This was a life changing!!!! I have a totally different dog right now!!! We had Josh as our instructor, he is amazing!!!
Josh did an amazing job with Winslow. He was patient, calm and kind to Winslow. Josh was always on time, worked with our schedule and answered all our questions. we can now walk Winslow on a leash without being pulled and can have people come to the house without Winslow barking and jumping on them. Highly recommend tip top k9 dog training.
I highly recommend Tip Top K9! We struggled very mich with our 2.5 year old Husky mix and felt like there was no room to imrpove her behaviors. After a few weeks with Tip Top K9, she is a completely different dog! My husband and I were truly blown away. It is 100% worth the investment.
We ended up going with Tip Top K9 for our dog Thatcher. He’s always been kinda anxious around people, and we were worried it might turn into aggression.We did the in-home lessons with Josh and it was honestly such a good experience. He made everything feel super simple, and you can tell he really knows what he’s doing.Thatcher loved him, he would get excited every time he knew it was time for another lesson!We’re still practicing every day, but he’s already made so much progress. He’s way more confident now and actually gets excited when the collar comes on! Thank you guys! 😄
Maci is an excellent person and trainer. She has equipped us with the tools needed for all of us to work together. Your team is amazing. We are grateful to have chosen to do business with you all.
Had a wonderful experience! Macy was our trainer and our dog, Teddy Bear, absolutely loved her and we did also! She did a marvelous job with Teddy and with us! She responded thoughtfully and quickly to our question and any requests we had. Her suggestions to us and attention to detail could not have been better! I can’t imagine how things could have gone any more smoothly.
We just finished 5 sessions with Macy in our home and couldn't be happier. Our active 6 year old poodle's behavior has improved so much and now we have the information and tools we need to keep improving. The change in him was really remarkable, now we actually enjoy taking him to events like the Melrose Street Fair. What a difference!!! This is a fairly expensive program but well worth it, you won't be disappointed.
Josh did an amazing job with my stubborn dog King. Since training he has been walking on the leash without pulling, listening to commands, and his dog reactivity is now manageable. Seeing the results makes me wish I would have started sooner. Thanks again Josh!!
We needed help with “Chip”, our hard headed Lab. Tip Top K9 provided a great solution. We used the in home program and the results were almost immediate. Macy did a great job with Chip and training us humans too. Many thanks to Macy and the rest of the Tip Top K9 team.
3 week update, Lulu met my parents this week and ended up snuggled with my mom on the couch. She also walked through crowds at a national park and did not react at all!We adopted Lulu from the humane society and we realized her demeanour toward people was more fear based than neutral. We worked for about a year to make her more comfortable and tried other training methods that did not work for her.Josh came out and while the meeting was tumultuous (as expected) he was calm, collected and recognized that while our dog was absolutely terrified and acting out that she is not a bad girl. He kept telling her how good she was doing and never made us or her feel bad for her reaction.Within 12 hours of Josh coming out I was able to walk Lulu by people, dogs, cats and children. Instead of avoiding triggers I turned her toward them. Instead of Lulu being terrified of getting eaten by people she now knows that she doesn't need to act out.The first visit with our consult I was in tears hearing about how Lulu was so scared she was trying to make herself seem gross so she wouldn't get eaten. Today she walked with Josh in a heel and while she was nervous her tail was not tucked and she even wagged it at him.Lulu went from a terrified girl to a more confident dog. My fiance and I went from being afraid to take her out to excited and ready to walk her into any situation. Thank you Josh, you complimented us and built our confidence up as well as Lulu's. I know it's not your job to therapize humans but you did a damn good job doing it!
We had the pleasure of working with Josh. He has helped us with ongoing training for our golden retriever, Chewie Lewis. Our puppy dog is very smart and also very stubborn. Josh was so helpful in addressing our concerns and in refreshing the commands that Chewie needed extra help with. We would recommend Josh to anyone looking to teach their dog good manners. 😊
Josh was fabulous - and such a rockstar with Winnie during private training!! She has made so much progress over the course of 5 lessons, we couldn’t be happier. We practiced our “place” in Sedona to celebrate graduating private lessons. Now excited to keep making progress with group class 💪
We adopted Marshall from a rescue and realized very quickly that he was very fearful especially on walks. We did our research and decided to give Tip Top a try. Our first in home meeting went well and they provided a variety of options. We chose the in home training (since we only had him 3 weeks). Josh came out to be our trainer and from day one his calm demeanor and patience gave us hope! He explained things thoroughly and helped Marshall walk all through the neighborhood as well as taking him to Home Depot within the first two lessons! We really loved working with Josh through our 1/1 training sessions. We then went to our first group training and really liked Macy. It was our first group training and we definitely needed some guideance and help when we first arrived and she stepped up immediately. By the end of group that night Marshall was calm and walking by and with other dogs. We will continue going to group training as it has big advantages for the socializing aspect. Tip Top has been great in giving us the tools needed but the biggest piece of advise is that we, as owners, need to Apply the training, patience and work every day in order to truly see the results.
Tip Top K9 was definitely worth it. We adopted a German Shepard/Belgian Malinois from the humane society with a lot of energy. Macy was a big help in setting us up for success!
Tip Top K9 was great! The whole process was very smooth and beneficial. Our almost 2 year old pup needed a few things worked on and after 5 sessions he’s improved so much! The structure and resources are awesome and our trainer Macy has been amazing! We definitely plan on attending the group sessions in the future too!
We finished our 11th week of training at our home and our 2 year old German Shepherd has come along way in her behavior and following instructions. Josh was our trainer and he was patient and friendly to us as we were being trained to instruct and lead the dog and use consistant commands. Our dog, Ruger, is smart and a little stubborn and needs to have us work with her every day. This has been a really good experience for us and Ruger. We look forward to the group training at the park next. Thanks
Macy did a wonderful job with my golden retriever's at home sessions! I took Toby for training because he had a selective obedience issue. She was patient with him and with me. She was very knowledgeable + understanding with Toby and helped me learn to listen to and command my dog better. Highly recommend Tip Top - and I look forward to their group sessions!
We always knew our sweet Nala girl was smart, but we didn’t know how to balance letting her be herself while also getting her to listen to us. Josh was amazing, insightful, knowledgeable, and patient, and now we truly have our dream dog! We’re able to do so much more with Nala, and she’s happier than ever, exploring and enjoying new adventures every day. We are beyond grateful for Tip Top K9 and Josh. I highly recommend Josh; he was kind, explained everything so well, and truly cared about helping us and Nala succeed.
Macy is an AMAZING dog trainer. I never thought my 2 doodles, especially my golden doodle would be able to be so obedient and would decrease my stress level so much!! My dogs are my “babies” and I live alone so this training was absolutely life changing for me! Thank you Macy and Tip Top K9. Awesome work and such compassionate people!!💕
We had Macy train our 2 dogs. I can’t believe how fast they learned commands. I would recommend her and this company to anyone who needs the service!
Thaden and Treven were incredible!!! The consultation went so well and I immediately knew I had found exactly what my German Shepherd needs. I can’t thank them enough for their knowledge and support! Looking forward to the group classes as well.
Excellent training team! They are very structured and organized and very successful with any type of a dog. I Would definitely recommend🌹 Thanks to Macy And Thaeden🌹
