Even More Great Reviews from Pet Parents

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.

Macy was great at the home show!Great knowledge of tips and training our fur babies!!

Excellent training at bootcamp with my 10 month old goldendoodle.

Thaden was very knowledgeable, great with the dogs, and did a great job educating us.

If you are ever considering training your dog I would 100% consider this company! Within 2 sessions my dog showed immediate change and learned so fast. Especially with the thorough training and amazing trainers I would definitely recommend them!

I highly recommend Thaeden! He has an incredible way with dogs and tailored the training to fit my dog's unique needs. With his positive reinforcement techniques, my dog's behavior improved significantly. Plus, I learned valuable skills for continued training at home. Thaeden is patient, supportive, and truly passionate about his work. Thank you for everything!

Had a great experience with training my dog there. We were at a point where we were looking to rehome our doberman due to aggression but had tip top trainers come out and do a consultation. We are so happy with our experience our Doberman is doing such a great job at home and with others! If you are looking for a trainer We definitely recommend tip top for their home and private training! Thank you so much and looking forward to our group classes to continue the training!

We had an amazing experience with TipTop! Trevon eased all of our concerns during the first consultation and spent time guiding us through the program. Tony came out after to pickup and drop off our pup which included parent training the day she came back. He was excellent! He spent hours with us ensuring we were comfortable with commands and performing them correctly. He made sure to answer all of our questions and didn’t move on until we said we were ready. He helped us feel confident and comfortable. TipTop was truly an amazing company to work with, our puppy is doing great and we can’t wait to see her grow even more!

Thaeden and team have been amazing to work with! So patient and thorough during onboarding and in the field. We will always use Tip Top K9 for our pets needs.

Wonderful experience from start to finish! We met these guys at a Home & Garden show and were impressed with how well behaved their dogs were. They offered to come out to our house for one free private training session. The first visit was 90% explaining the product/methods, and 10% training. They really took the time to make sure we understood things, and we moved forward with the 2 session package. We saw it as an investment and were excited about having our huge dogs be able to behave around family, friends, children, strangers, and other animals - in the home, in public spaces, and on walkies. During the sessions, our trainer really encouraged our dogs to make good decisions, in order to get rewarded with lots of praise/lovins, not just obey “or else”. He was also super thorough with his explanations, and helped us learn all the ins and outs of reasoning, timing, and best methods for training. Neither our dogs nor us were scolded/spoken to sharply once during the entire learning process. I truly feel like these employees love, respect, and enjoy training these pups. Even the dispatchers were super communicative and we were always in communication if there was an earlier opening or if he was running a few min late. Overall, amazing experience and I would recommend to anyone looking for help with training their dogs. I’m excited to see what we can do, now that Tip Top K-9 has empowered us with the tools to work together on training with confidence!

I have loved training my super hyper doodle with these Thaeden!!!! She has done so well with him, she’s a whole new dog! You can tell he loves dogs and cares so much! We are shocked by what he’s taught us, and how quickly our little girl has picked it all up! Thank you so much!!!!

I was extremely skeptical that our little girl was even trainable because she was not only dog and people aggressive she was paralyzed as well. I thought her aggression was just something we would have to deal with because of what she had gone through in her earlier life. I WAS WRONG ;) And I couldn't be happier to be WRONG. From the moment Tip Top K9 came to the house, she knew something was up. She's extremely bright and knew she was going to be given a job. (aka chance) . Don't get me wrong, she tried to get her way with the trainer on day one, but he was so patient with her and continued to work with her while showing her respect. By doing this, she quickly realized he was there to help her, not hurt her. She learned how to focus on what we wanted her to do and it not only took the stress away from her, but it took it away from us as well. Never in a million years would i have believed this would have worked. We tried other trainers and they just didn't have a full interest in her. Maybe because she was paralyzed or too aggressive. Tip Top was honest with us and told us they would never be able to take the aggression out of her BUT they could teach her how to refocus her aggression to do what we needed her to do. It's amazing how differently dogs think. But Tip Top has it figured out. We ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR TRAINER. Always on time and gave her the full hour of training every time. After Bolita graduated, we were able to have friends and family over and she knew exactly what to do AND NOT TO DO. She was relaxed on her "place" and allowed everyone to mingle and talk. She didn't make a peep. (Of course she had her muzzle on for caution) Prior to Tip Top, this would have never been possible. We would definitely recommend Tip Top K9 Gilbert Dog Training. So happy we found you.

Absolutely the highest standards for dog training! We learned so much obedience and my dog has become much less reactive and obeys me! I highly highly recommend them!!

Great experience and easy to check on my dog. They worked with him to release some of the trauma that he had. Highly recommend checking them out!

I have an (almost) 5 month old German Shepherd puppy, Banana, who recently underwent the “house manners” training package. Ever since our initial consultation, I knew that Tip Top could be trusted to care for and train Banana. They were very cognizant about my long-term goals for Banana, and they explained their training process with the utmost clarity. They helped Banana gain confidence and become a more well-trained, obedient dog! I am incredibly thankful for the time and effort they put in to training Banana, and will definitely take full advantage of the free lifetime group training sessions!

Absolutely love this dog training crew! Super amazing group of people. Completely transformed our 80 pound Doberman lapdog Ella Rae! Ella was so excited to see her trainer every time he came, huge smile! Their training methods simply can’t be beat. Thank you so much!

Tony was great at showing us all that Izzy learned at boot camp. He walked us through how to use the remote, taught us the commands, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the whole process. Alex was our trainer and did a great job too! We are so happy to have Izzy back!
