What Makes Our Round Rock Dog Trainers Different

Unlike the other guys, we don’t depend on treats, harsh corrections, or shock collars. Instead, we leverage the proven Tip Top Method – “neutral reinforcement” – to ensure your dog listens every time.

We focus on clear communication with leashes, training collars, and verbal commands. You won’t catch us bribing with treats or punishing for not listening. We instead set clear expectations from the get-go and teach your dog that following commands is part of their daily routine.

Our Clients Rave About the Transformations They See In Their Dogs

Round Rock Dog Owners After Training With Us:

Dog Owners Are Head Over Paws for Tip Top K9

Our clients rave about the transformations they see in their dogs
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🌹
We had the absolute BEST experience with Josh from Tip Top K9! Our in-home training sessions completely transformed our dog into the dream dog we always hoped for. Josh was incredibly attentive, patient, and thorough — he answered every single question we had (and we had a lot!) with clear, easy-to-understand explanations that actually made training feel manageable instead of overwhelming.He was always on time, never canceled, and showed up consistently ready to help us succeed. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the dogs and the owners, which made the whole process feel supportive and stress-free.On top of that, the entire team at Tip Top K9 was extremely prompt and professional with communication from start to finish.I honestly don’t have one bad thing to say — and that says a LOT. Josh is fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend him or Tip Top K9 more. Total game changer for our family (and our dog)!
This company beat all my expectations! In just 5 short classes my crazy german shepherd was able to walk through home depot and can go to places with us without it being a hassle! They have amazing team members who come work with you in your home and help you work on the things you want to work on! They go above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone!
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!
I love this group. They were so amazing. I have a really active dog who jumped on everyone that came to our house. I was so impressed with the presentation when they came for the assessment. They were very thorough and helpful.Cameron was amazing when he brought her home. He spent 2 hours training us on training our dog! Great experience and great results! I highly recommend this facility!
Macy is incredible!! She’s patient, kind, and knows exactly what to do when our dogs were having a hard time. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Macy!!
I have been thoroughly amazed at the wonderful work Kameron and his team did with my seven month old golden retriever. He was a wild one sent him to the weeklong doggy day camp and they were so easy to work with sent me videos and updates. He came home a very happy and well trained puppy I can’t thank you guys enough!!
Josh was my dogs trainer, he was awesome! I have a completely new dog! For anyone struggling with their dogs behavior I would definitely recommend using TipTop K9.
​While most reviews focus on Tip Top K9’s effective training methods—which are incredible—I want to highlight the rare level of integrity and care this family-owned business provides. From our $1 evaluation, it was clear that Cameron wasn't there to 'make a sale'; he was there to help us understand our dog. He was honest from day one about challenges our pup might face, showing a level of expertise and transparency you don't often see.​When we hit roadblocks, our trainer, Thaeden, went above and beyond. He spent 15 minutes addressing our personal concerns before even starting the session and stayed late to ensure our dog didn't miss out on her work.​The true measure of this company, however, was how they handled our most difficult moment. When we ultimately had to rehome our pup for the specific reasons Cameron had identified early on, the owner, Michael, showed us incredible grace. He didn’t make excuses or defend his methods; he simply asked, 'How are you guys?' He was incredibly understanding and even offered to help us with the training of a future dog, proving that they are committed to us as a family, not just as a payment. They truly prioritize the well-being of the dog and the owner over the bottom line. If you want a company that treats you like a person rather than a transaction, this is it. And you'll get a highly trained "tip top k9" in the process.
Thaeden and Macy were incredible with training Georgia. The love and care and time they put in with her made the world of difference and I would highly recommend tip top to anyone struggling with their puppy training!
Thaeden is absolutely amazing! He has helped my dog, Bunny, so much. He is incredibly patient and truly great with her. And he also takes time to explain and make sure we are well equipped to train her after class properly. Bunny is now a completely different dog—she is calmer, more confident, listens to commands, and no longer shows any signs of aggression toward my other family members. Importantly, she is no longer being aggressive with resources guarding behavior. I highly recommend their program to anyone looking to improve their dog’s behavior and enhance their family’s quality of life with their pet. Thank you Thaeden and Tip Top K9 team!
I travel frequently for work and needed my dog to be more obedient so he could travel with me. Tip Top worked with my boy for three weeks (out of their 3–5 week program), and he progressed so well that he was able to come home early.I had to travel just 48 hours after he returned home, and he did absolutely amazing with plane travel. The difference in his obedience and confidence was incredible.I highly recommend Tip Top to anyone looking for professional, effective, and trustworthy dog training.
We sent our dog to tip top for the board and train program and we are amazed!! It was hard not having our pup for 2 weeks but when he came back it was amazing to see his progress! He was shown was manners are without changing his personality or playfulness (which I was worried about). He listens so well off leash and on leash and could care less about distractions in our neighborhood. He is such a well behaved dog and he gets so many compliments by our neighbors! We even brought him out to Home Depot and the pet store and he was so well behaved the entire time! It is a bit pricey but if you can make it work it will do wonders for your stress and anxiety while you are out and about with your pup.
My German shepherd really benefited from the training that he received from our trainer Josh. Josh was informative, answered all of my questions and always treated my pet with patience and kindness. I really recommend this program for frustrated dog owners, my dog is very sensitive and whines alot but he understood the commands that were given to him by Josh and I would not have been able to have gotten those results by myself. The training has definitely changed his life for the better. Thank you!
I have had my rescue dog for 5 years and she’s 9 now. While she’s always been the queen of the house because of her PTSD background and wanting her to feel comfortable, it has come to a point where we just need to communicate better together. She didn’t know any commands or tricks or anything.I reached out to Tip Top because of the reviews, the site information, the flexibility in my schedule, and being able to work one on one with a trainer (at my own home).Cameron came out and did an assessment of Susie (my Chihuahua) and demonstrated the e-collar (that I’ll admit I was pretty turned off by prior to the meet). He first had me try it on my hand and made me aware this is not a shock collar but rather a TENS unit to just cause stimuli to trigger and at worse cause an irritation to make my dog realize if she stops, the irritation stops. I felt comfortable with this and then we tried it on Susie. Susie didn’t have any problems and nearly from the jump he was able to work with her, albeit she’s a calm dog to begin with, but the fact he could just work with her and get her to do things was astonishing since I struggle so hard.He set me up to begin. We (me and Susie, not Tip Top) had scheduling conflict after scheduling conflict but Tip Top was super flexible with me and not having me pay my balance until we actually were ready to start. They even allow PayPal to be used so the super expensive (to me) lessons were able to be paid with PayPal Credit and I could break it up over 6 months interest free (something they didn’t mention or advertise).Josh came out and did the first lesson. And just like Cameron he was able to communicate with Susie almost immediately. The whole purpose of this was for me to be able to communicate with her, another reassuring moment. We did our 5 lessons and overall she did great. We had rough patches here and there but honestly I don’t think it was Susie who was the struggle but me not communicating effectively with her like Josh was. He very patiently and calmly worked with me so I was set up for success to practice at home during the week. To be honest, I think the lessons were more for me than Susie to teach me and guide me to communicate to her rather than teach her how to do things.Now that we’ve reached the end, Tip Top now gives me lifetime of the dog weekly group lessons for free on Thursdays and Saturdays should I want to go. These are to continue to reinforce what Susie has already learned if she’s struggling (or rather I’m struggling) or even learn new tricks (because who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks).I’ll be forever grateful for Josh and Cameron for opening my eyes to this kind of training for me to be able to communicate to Susie. We definitely have a stronger bond than we did before.
Josh was amazing!! My Doberman is doing amazing now and he’s so well behaved; we will 100% do this again with our next puppy
Went with the 1-1 training and we got paired with Josh. Incredibly insightful and helpful. Very calm demeanor which works great for my crazy dog. We have made massive progress and have great foundation thanks to Josh. Roach says thank you… once he stops being so stubborn
Josh was a great teacher for me and Aspen definitely deserves a raise the experience overall was great very efficient and productive training. Wasn’t able to make it out to group trading due to running a last minute marathon
Thaeden is an incredible trainer! His positive methods worked wonders! Zoey learned her commands extremely quickly and adored him, smiling at him every time he came. She’s truly a transformed dog, and going out in public is now life-changing! We’re so proud to bring her out and show off of how far she’s come. Life at home and in public is nothing short of a miracle! Thaeden met every single one of our needs and even went above and beyond with thoughtful surprises! We couldn’t be happier!
Josh was awsome and change my dog bad habits
Thank you, Treven! I love and appreciate all you had to offer! I highly recommend this training for new dog parents who need their kiddos to behave. I look forward to visiting Gilbert and sharpen our training. Thanks again!
Tip top was great! We went from having a dog that was resource guarding and snapping to having a dog that listens the first time we give her a command. Thaeden was a great teacher and very patient with both us and our dog, answering all of our questions and being really flexible with scheduling our sessions around our kids! We loved it and so happy we spent the money to have a dog we can trust around our young kiddos and anyone else we may come into contact with. Highly recommend!!
I am so pleased with our trainer, Joshua!! He came to our house and worked his magic with our dog, Charlee!! It’s nothing short of amazing what he accomplished in such a short time. I highly recommend Tip Top K9 in Gilbert, AZ. They are truly “dog whisperers”. I’m also thankful my friend recommended them to me.
Otis loved his trainer Thaeden! He now has a best friend. Thaeden was patient with us and helped Otis be the best pup!
I got my 2 dogs trained by Tip Top K9 and I couldn’t be more happy with the results.My dogs each had their own behavioral problems that have since been fixed. Since our in home training, I have been able to take both of my dogs to multiple public outings with little to no issues. We have been attending group classes and have already made so much progress.My dogs have made leaps and bounds from where they were before and I have say I have well behaved dogs. All thanks to Tip Top K9! I appreciate yall and I would definitely suggest them for anyone looking for amazing and knowledgeable dog trainers who will invest in your pet for a lifetime.
Yumi completed the at home training with Thaeden from Tip Top K9 - a great experience- great program and fantastic results! Highly recommended!
We knew we found the best training program for Jack the very first session we had. Our trainer, Thaeden, was extremely patient with not only Jack but us as well. The commands are very easy to follow and the collar is completely safe, We’re so thankful to have found you guys and couldn’t recommend ya’ll enough.
Thayden did an amazing job with our dogs. He talked us through the process of training and always answered our questions. We are very pleased with their service.
These people are absolutely amazing. They literally saved my rescue dog's life by treating his reactivity. I am blown away by the trainers and their obvious affection towards my previously-crazy dog. I am so thankful I went ahead and put this on my credit card bc now we can make friends with my new neighbors. Thank u so very much. -AL
Simple and effective. All the trainers were super polite and knowledgeable. We saw a huge turn around in our dogs behavior in just a few short weeks of lessons. Our pup went from being a total jerk to everyone in the house to being a docile and obedient member of the family.Highly recommend.
Our little gal Dakota was start to act out, barking at everything, lunging towards people as we passed walking, growling at everyone, we were at our wits end on what to do. We searched and read review after review and knew Tip Top K9 Gilbert was the answer. Cameron came and told us all about the training choices, we opted for a week of boot camp and we are so glad we did.When Cameron and Anthony brought Dakota home she was a different dog. Anthony took time and made sure we knew how to continue on with her training. He went over the collar and remote with us to make sure we were using it correctly. You can see and feel how well they truly care about these dogs. I would definitely recommend Tip Top K9 Gilbert to any one looking for training. Thank you Cameron, Anthony and the Tip Top K9 staff for caring and training our gal Dakota.Steve & Stephanie Sisson
We can’t thank you enough for the amazing guidance and training we have received.We had in-home training for a 13 month old and a 6 month old puppy. We’ve always had bad behaved fur babies as we had no idea how to effectively train our fur babies.as a result of this training, our male’s reactivity to strangers walking by our house had been eliminated. Our female was a neurotic barker, which resulted in our home being her 5th in her short 6 month life. With guidance and training for both dog and owner, we have ben able to correct the barking .During training every family member was expertly guided in how to work with each dog.The money invested in dog training was well worth it. Thanks so much for your patience as we all learned together.Cosmo and Reece are better behaved, better adjusted. and happier pups after training. We look forward to coming to group class, and continuing our journey.
Thaeden and Tony were amazing trainers! Tip Top provided and an amazing service and we were very impressed with how well our dogs were trained! Thanks!
Thaeden was the best thanks guys
I am so grateful for Tip Top K9!! From the consult appointment with Treven and through every single lesson my dog, Binx, and I had with Thaeden, we were greeted with kindness, patience, and enthusiastic expertise. I chose the 17-session private lesson package, and it was WELL worth the investment. It was SO valuable to have Thaeden give Binx the foundation, and then teach me at the point that Binx was already confident. What I so appreciate about their method is that it is really teaching my dog and me how to communicate. They use a collar similar to a TENS unit (NOT a “shock collar”). I was nervous about that to start, and they compassionately explained it to me and even helped me test it out to see what it feels like. Most importantly, they employ that communication tool correctly. It is used simultaneously with a command, showing my dog what *to* do, as opposed to a signal after the fact that he has done something wrong. AND they are so mindful of using this communication tool according to how the particular dog needs it in a particular moment. Then they taught me all that and helped me build my confidence. Oh, and all the employees I interacted with are so nice and responsive! I have such a stronger more confident bond, and I can go hiking with him, entertain at my house, and hang out with him on any patio restaurant or open-air festival! Looking forward to group classes! Thank you, Tip Top K9!!!
We love Thaiden and his trainings.It was so helpful for us and Rosie. She did great with him in all the lessons. We would totally recommend tip top K9To all of our friends.
My wife and I were really struggling with our new puppy- jumping, pulling and not listening. Tip top changed it all and he is so much better behaved! We had Thaeden as our instructor and he did such a great job. He is very knowledgeable and our pup loved him. Can’t recommend enough!
Thaeden was an amazing trainer! My good boy changed in just a few lessons and lost most of his reactivity. He listens better and his recall is fantastic!
Training our GP mix was easy from start to finish. We worked with two Tiptop K9 employees and both were so nice and easy to work with. Our pup has learned so much from the 1:1 classes and we’re looking forward to the lifetime access to group classes offered locally. Thank you TipTopK9!!
Had one dog go through boot camp and one dog do home classes and it was great both dogs progressed very well.
