Thanks Tony and Alex so much, my girls are well trained in commands. Thanks so much for taking care of Adele and Noelle and having patience with them.

I wasn’t sure about how my 2 dogs would do with boot camp but they were so alert and followed commands so well. Tony brought them back and gave us 2+ hours of training in our home. He took his time and went at our pace and made sure we were comfortable with each command. He showed us and then had us do it to gain confidence. Thanks TipTopK9.

Tony was amazing! He took his time and showed us how to make sure everything was easy to understand. He did not rush, he made sure to go over everything in great detail and he did not hesitate to make sure every question went without an answer.He did not make anyone feel rushed at all and his hospitality was extremely refreshing.

We had a great experience working with Thaeden! From the start, he was respectful, friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our dog is super smart but also very high-energy, rowdy, and a bit chaotic, so we knew we needed someone patient and skilled. Thaeden exceeded our expectations. He was not only thorough but also excited to answer all of our questions, and he really took the time to understand our dog’s personality.What stood out most was his calm, trustworthy presence and his exceptional teaching ability (something that's surprisingly rare). He didn’t just train our dog, he taught us, too, including my kids (ages eleven and thirteen), which made the whole process feel like a true family effort. Training our dog became a bonding activity. I also really appreciated that he followed up at the start of each session to help us stay accountable. Thaeden clearly loves what he does, and his passion and excitement made the sessions both effective and fun. We left each session feeling empowered, confident, in control, and connected with our dog.

Tony was so helpful with training us as well as our boy. He made sure we felt comfortable with each command when he brought him home from his boarding camp and we feel confident to continue his training ourselves. Brett trained him at the camp and we were so proud of the videos we were sent of his progress.

Tony was great! Very patient and knew his training!

Tony was very patient in training us and our dog. Great job

From the moment that Trevon came to our home to meet our 8 month old Corso (Rhea) we immediately knew that Tip Top K-9 was exactly what we needed. He took the time to explain the purpose and the science behind neutral reinforcement training. He wasn't pushy or "salesy" about explaining all of the different training packages that they offered and helped us figure out which option was best for our family and for Rhea.We opted for the 2 class in home package. Thaeden came to our home and was super polite, friendly and professional. He made all of us including Rhea feel at ease and comfortable. He was patient yet firm with us and thoroughly explained every step of the training. He encouraged us to continue to put in the work daily with her. We opted to train for 2 months at home before we had our second class. Well worth it. Rhea was able to master the commands we learned in our first class and was ready to move on to more complicated skills. We are truly grateful for both Trevon and Thaeden and cant wait to continue our lifetime training every week at the free group sessions that are included with the purchase of ANY training package.Thanks Tip Top K-9

Tony was great when it was time to pick up our fur babies and returning them once they’ve completed their training. Very professional experience and our dogs are behaving better with manners and listening skills. I would highly recommend Tip Top K9. Tony was awesome!!!

Tip Top K9 did an amazing job, Tony explained everything on how to continue the training. We had 2 dogs train and board and the results speaks for themselves. Tony, Brett and Tommy did an outstanding job.

Sedona came back home after 1 week of. Oars and train and Tommy was the one who trained her. Toni came and brought her back and we did our at home training and she did so well! I would do it all over again! Thank you both for the training and can’t wait for group classes to come back!

Outstanding experience! Tony was awesome! Took the time (two full hours!) Showing us all the commands and how the equipment worked after dropping our dogs off. We did the 2 week sleep away camp for them... night and day diffrence when our dogs came back! And weekly pictures and a report card on how they were doing!

Tony came to explain how to use the collars and was very knowledgeable and professional! Would recommend Tip Top for dog training!

Tony, awesome job. Dogs are great. Very well at explaining everything and very nice guy.

Great experience, my dog improved just after the first lesson. The staff is super friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend

Thaeden was an excellent trainer I couldn’t have been more satisfied with his services and knowledge on how I can better not only my current dogs but my future dogs

Thaeden was fantastic! We have 3 reactive dogs, including a dachshund + have seen so much improvement in them all. Highly highly recommend for naughty dogs at home!

Simply wow! They are literally the best! Their techniques are perfect! We walked away from each training session absolutely thrilled.Our dog, Grizzly, did so well and responded amazingly to Christina and her training.She loves her job and is really really good at what she does.I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to recommend them.**UPDATE**We got 2 new puppies because Grizzly passed away but we hired these guys again and Thaeden came to help us with our puppies.These guys are literally the BEST trainers.Don’t go anywhere else.

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

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
