Dog Board & Train

Looking for drastic results in just a few weeks? Our dog board and train program in Troy is for you (and your pup!). During boot camp, your dog will live with us and receive 2-6 hours of personalized one-on-one training each day. We’ll tackle whatever issues your dog presents with patience. Plus, we provide regular “pup-date” photos of your dog’s progress throughout its stay! It doesn’t end there – when your dog graduates, we’ll hold a “human training” session to ensure you’re well-equipped to keep your pup fresh. Better yet, all Doggie Boot Camp graduates receive lifetime access to our group classes at no cost.

Aggressive Dog Training

Aggression can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to define your pet’s future. Our aggressive dog training program in Troy identifies and addresses the root causes of their behavior, whether that be resource guarding, fear, or dominance. We’ll create a custom training plan to build trust, reduce stress, and teach your dog better ways to interact. We stress neutral reinforcement, which doesn’t rely on treats or punishment. Instead, we teach attention – through commands like “come,” “place,” and “quiet,” we help your pup stay calm and composed, even in high-stress scenarios. Our proven techniques can transform even the most challenging dogs into safe companions.

In-Home Training

Is your dog anxious around other people and animals? Don’t fret – it’s more common than you might think. If that’s the case, we’ll recommend in-home training where your dog is most comfortable. We approach private training the same way we would any other program, with the end goal of having your well-behaved dog go anywhere. We focus on general obedience, off-leash behavior, and good manners through active attention and listening. In just a few weeks, we’ll help you achieve better communication with and respect from your pup.

Puppy Training

Training your puppy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our programs, perfect for dogs aged 4-6 months, focus on building confidence, proper socialization, and teaching foundational skills. Whether your puppy is ready to tackle commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “heel” or needs help overcoming fear, we’ll craft lessons just for them. Our trainers also guide you on how to socialize your puppy, like avoiding dog parks or rough introductions to stubborn adult dogs. With patience, consistency, and the proven Tip Top Method, your pup will be ready to explore the world!

Wonderful training experience. I would recommend this training to anyone in need of training.
Great experience all around. Both of our previous defiant siberian huskies are very well behave. Definitely recommend
I Had a great experience 10/10. Would recommend to anyone and everyone
Tip Top K9 Gilbert literally saved my German Shepherd's life! I couldn't handle him, and he was unadoptable before Tip Top worked their magic on him. The trainers were consistently very professional and responsive when I needed reassurance, and their love for dogs is apparent in everything they do. Alex was very patient and informative during my training, making sure I was comfortable with the cues and commands. I could not be happier with my "new" dog! Thanks, Tip Top K9 Gilbert.
Tip Top K9 did amazing work on our little puggle. In one week of doggie bootcamp our dog made incredible progress. Alex was wonderful to work with. He was patient with my two boys and answered all of our questions. I would recommend Tip Top K9 to anyone needing help with their dog.
Everyone was so amazing!!! Made the process so easy and made us feel very secure throughout the process. The whole team is amazing and our pup looked so happy! Loved all the updates and it made us feel a part of the process the whole time. Thank you! Big shout out to Trevon and Alex!!
These guys are fantastic, from the evaluation, scheduling, training and homecoming. Alex was so thorough in training us. Really appreciate the time and not feeling rushed during homecoming after doggie bootcamp. The office staff is courteous and knowledgeable too. Thanks everyone
My brother and I had a great experience with tip top k9 both the trainers (Alex and Thaydan, and Trevor) were all extremely helpful and the staff as well. My dog had a great experience!!
Eerie found us on Halloween (hence the name), and despite being super sweet, with us having two large senior dogs, and her being a very young, small dog, we quickly realized she would need training. Every interaction with Tip Top K9 has been great! When we inquired, we got a prompt call from a very helpful rep, a training manager came to our home within a few days, and we were so confident in what he showed us during the session that we scheduled and sent her to bootcamp the following week. Every step was thoroughly explained and the trainers kept up with us (sent us photos and report cards) every step of the way. While we missed our little girl for the 3 weeks she was away, she went from 0 training to being able to come, sit, place, heel, among other things with incredible accuracy! We're so impressed, and the trainers are so kind (the type of folks you want to become friends with) that we can't wait to do group trainings...we probably need it more than her. That's how great they did. She's the same sweet dog, but now she knows how to focus, and is ready to work when expected. Thanks, Tip Top, see you at group training soon!
my pitbull attacked my face and drew blood and that’s when i contacted tip top k9. after sending in my consultation request, i was called less than a minute later and i must say, the customer service was exceptional from every single person i came in contact with. everyone was super communicative and prompt with replies to any questions or requests i made while millie was away for 4 weeks. being away from your baby is not for the weak and i missed her so much but ultimately, tip top k9 helped me get millie to a manageable level so she can get to do things she’s never been able to before! there is a bit of maintenance after the boarding that everyone should be aware of; my dog came back a brand new dog but she does need consistency with commands and the e-collar. thank you treven, cameron, alex and the office staff for all the help!
We cannot recommend Thaeden enough for dog training! Our year-old German Shepherd rescue dog had some serious behaviorial issues -- constant barking (inside & out), chewing everything in sight, attacking the vacuum and lawn mower (and us if we were in the way of it), and even jumping excessively on the back door to demand to come inside. It was overwhelming, to say the least.After just 6 training sessions with Thaeden, the transformation has been incredible. Thaeden worked patiently and effectively, teaching us how to communicate with our dog in a way that made sense to him. He gave us practical tools & techniques to address every issue, and now our dog is calm (well as calm as a puppy can get lol), well-mannered, and such a joy to have in our home.Thaeden's knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for both dogs and their owners really sets him apart. If you're struggling with a challenging dog, don't hesitate to reach out to Thaeden. I cannot recommend him enough!
Thaeden did so good with our dog. We highly recommend tip top!!
Everyone I worked with and spoke to were amazing. Very helpful for my dog with high anxiety.
Words truly cannot express my gratitude to everyone at Tip Top Canine, with a special shout out to Thaeden, my dog's trainer. From day one, he really cared for my dog ( which in turn, Murphy was always happy to see him and work for him and his praise ).Thaeden answered all my questions and was always encouraging to me. He gave me hope, and Murphy has done so well! This program is worth every penny!!! Many, many thanks :)
This was amazing and super thorough. I can’t wait to see the where all the great help and training gets our little pup.
We loved Trevor and he did a great job with Stella!!! We can tell she already knows commands and listens so intently!!!
I have a Great Dane pup and I chose Tip Top K9. The experience with working with Tip Top from start to finish was world class. Zayne (Great Dane) was a new dog when he arrived home. We will be investing more with Tip Top and will continue being a client of theirs for all our dog training needs now and in the future. Thanks to everyone at Tip Top for an amazing customer experience for our entire family!
10/10 recommend!!! My family and I are first time dog owners. Tip top k9 Gilbert has really helped us with everything from sitting to tackling stubborn attitudes!!!
Great training. Our dog is doing so much bettter.Thank you
Had an amazing experience, easy to follow and easy to help train our dogs.
Bang for your buck!! The trainers are so nice and knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🐶
We primarily interacted with Alex and Treven in this process, and Miranda as well on the comms side. We had such a good experience with Tip Top K9 and are already so impressed with the results after 1 week! We are also so happy that we get unlimited access to group sessions moving forward as well!
Tip Top K9 is amazing! My dog just came back from a week-long bootcamp, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Alex was fantastic—so knowledgeable and patient. My dog’s behavior has improved dramatically, and the training was worth every penny. Highly recommend!
We have had the absolute best experience with tip top k9. Thaden was an absolute God send for our gsd/rottie mix. Our girl is now able to be in public, obeys all commands, and can go and be around everyone and everything! We will be customers of tip top k9 for life!
Treven and Thaeden were great! Highly recomend tip top k9! Great to work with and absolutely great with our dogs!
Just got our labradoodle back from doggie bootcamp. The change has been amazing. Cameron worked with us for 2.5 hours to make sure we understood how to continue working with Finnigan for optimum results. We feel very confident he will continue to make great strides to becoming a great well behaved member of the family. We totally recommend Tip Top K9 training program for your dogs.
We had a fantastic experience at tip top k9. Alex and the office and Trevan were incredible. Our dog has been changed so much , for the good.
It was very hard to let our Boomie go to Bootcamp for 3 weeks, but it definitely paid off. He is a much more controllable dog today. Thank you Tip Top!
We just completed training with Tip Top K9 and this is the best money we have ever spent! After completing other types of training we were still struggling to maintain the training and we could sense out dogs frustration, lack of confidence and anxiety. We were at the point were we felt hopeless with our dog and her training. During our first consult we felt very reassured that their training method would work for our family and our dogs needs. We sent Lily (our pup) for 3 weeks of training and since coming home we can see a 180 degree turn around in her behavior. Alex completed our Welcome home training and was absolutely amazing. Every question we had was thoroughly answer and we were taught each command until we felt comfortable. We now have a dog that is not reactive to other dogs and people, which was a huge concern prior to training. On top of all of these great thing the best part is that we are now excited to take out dog place with us, which something we never we would be able to do. We can not recommend entrusting them with your dog more!
TipTopK9 exceeded all my expectations! Trevor, Alex, and Tony made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. From the moment I talked with them, I felt heard and supported. They patiently answered all my questions and never made me feel like a burden, which is something I truly appreciated.My dog Rex attended the SuperStar Bootcamp, and the transformation has been incredible. He’s still his goofy, lovable self, but now he’s much more manageable. I can take him on walks without being dragged down the street, and having guests over is no longer a stressful experience. Rex’s loving scratches and enthusiastic jumps have been toned down, making everyone feel more at ease.What really stood out to me was the team's willingness to go the extra mile. They even accommodated my request to take Rex to OHSO Brewery during his training—talk about going above and beyond!If you’re looking for a dog training service that truly cares about your furry friend and your experience, I can’t recommend TipTopK9 enough. The team is professional, attentive, and committed to helping you and your dog thrive. Five stars all the way!
My husband and I are empty nesters and Dakota is the first puppy we have gotten where it was just us raising her. We were struggling with her, even after enrolling her in another treat based training program of which I felt I was needing to buy treats whose odor needed to be stronger and stronger in order for her to remain engaged. She was even earning "badges" during those classes but at home unless I had a treat handy she wasn't listening. A friend of ours had used Tip Top K9 for a puppy she had with behavior issues and recommended I call them as she saw my frustration and doubts that I had made the right choice bringing Dakota home. Dakota has since completed a 1 week boot camp at Tip Top K9 Gilbert and I am so happy I made the choice to enroll her. From the very first meeting where the a trainer came to my house to explain the program, allow me to experience how the collar feels, and show me how his wonderful lab Nova behaves, to post boot camp where he spent almost 2 hours training me how to use the remote and how to use the commands Dakota learned to promote the behavior we want to see. This last Saturday I took Dakota to her first group class and again I was met with a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional trainer who made the class fun and engaging for both Dakota and I. Even though it was our first class it was easy to jump right in even if there were several dogs at several different levels. My husband and I could not be happier with the investment we made in sending Dakota to Tip Top K9 and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is struggling with their pup and wondering if they should remain part of their family. Dakota is doing so well and will continue to learn and grow with our family. Thank you Tip Top K9 Gilbert!
We had a great experience with Tip Top K9! She came home having mastered her commands. Alex did a great job showing us how to keep up her training.
This review is overdue! Alex worked with both my aussiedoodles. We couldn't be happier with the results! Things are much more peaceful since my boys returned. Great results with 2 different personalities. Best decision ever made.
We found this girl in the desert, she was under 20 lb and you could see all of her ribs. She had Walker's Paw and she couldn't walk anymore.With the amount of trauma we have seen in her we know she was either fought and dumped or bred and dumped or both, who really knows.Babygirl had laid down to die that day. There were 20 or more thorns in each paw and all over her body. They were all around her gums and under her body. My wife picked every single one out over the next several days.She was severely dehydrated, would not drink any water, but she snatched that turkey meat right out of my hand. We took her home and she was very aggressive with the other pups.The next day we got her treated at the veterinarian, and she slowly started to walk again.Babygirl was very aggressive with other animals, she would attack our other dogs for no reason, once ripping a piece of rescues ear off. She would drop dead birds at or back door with the heads missing.It wasn't fair to her or the other dogs and desperately tried to find her a good home. Unfortunately nobody wanted a Pitbull that was aggressive and found in the desert.There were a number of times when I sat down on the ground with her in my arms and cried because I didn't know what to do.We decided to keep her and tried training her ourselves. We crated her but every couple months or so her instincts would take over and we would have an incident.Then we found out about Tip Top K9 Dog Training and we decided to send her to a doggie boot camp for 4 weeks. That was a hard 4 weeks not seeing her. We did get a weekly report card and picture of our pretty girl.She's been home for over a month and this is the best she's ever been.Babygirl is getting along with the other pups, and we are still continuing her training.We are very happy that she's going to lead a long and happy life, free of stress and anxiety. Babygirl has a new sense of confidence. She truly is one of the greatest gifts, and she came right out of the desert.Thank you Tip Top K9!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tip Top K9. They did such a wonderful job training our frenchie and training us on how to train her. I was skeptical but it totally works and they are wonderful to work with. Thayden is AWESOME!!
I’ve worked with several dog trainers over the years, and Tip Top K9 was by far the most effective program for us. Our dogs have made incredible progress! Highly recommend!
We recently enrolled our puppy, Audrey Hepburn, in Tip Top K9's Boot Camp, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Audrey was full of crazy energy, and we struggled with her basic obedience at home, especially around distractions. After just one week of training, she came home calm and obedient, responding to commands like "stay," "come," and "sit" with minimal reminders!Our trainer, Alex, was incredibly professional and friendly. He paid close attention to every detail. He even gave our cat a pet who wouldn't leave him alone until he did. Alex is one of those people who immediately instills confidence and is someone you'd welcome into your home for anything. I would also like to give high praise to Treven who Audrey seems to love a lot. Treven came out for her initial training and was so impressive that we signed up no questions asked.Audrey can now follow commands even with distractions like our cats, the vacuum cleaner, and the doorbell ringing, something we never thought possible! Before TipTop it was like a WWE wrestling match every. single. day. with our cats. I was losing my mind.We can't recommend Tip Top K9 highly enough! They truly exceeded our expectations, and Audrey’s transformation has been worth every penny. If it breaks your heart to always be raising your voice to your fur baby like we were, you want to check out this trainer.
Thaeden did a fantastic job with our dog, Frodo, helping his command and his recall especially. They do great work and take the time to have the dogs out in public to reinforce the training. Totally worth it if you are having trouble with your dogs training.
Best money we ever invested in our puppy. She was a completely different dog. while she still has the energy of a puppy we are so much farther along.
Love tip top training! They helped my dog out so much! It really has given me peace of mind. Super great training! And Thaeden was a 10/10 trainer!
Tip Top K9 is the best dog training company in Gilbert. Thaeden was our instructor and he was amazing. We have two young Springer Spaniels that have now turned into completely different dogs. I highly recommend this type of training.
Happy to see how she's grown and how much she's learned!
awesome trainer, would 10/10 recommend ! he’s so nice they make sure they learn what they came to get trained before they leave ! thanks thaeden!!
I would definitely recommend Tip Top K9. Our corgi was stubborn as can be and had issues around other dogs and people. They provided us with the tools and training to turn our pup into a model citizen. I feel more confident in my dog and my dog is more confident in himself. If you are looking for training this is the way to go. Shoutout to our awesome trainer Thayden. Thanks.
My 11-month-old Cane Corso was a handful, but after spending two weeks with the trainer, she came back amazing! She mastered all her commands, and Alex, the trainer, brought her home and walked me through everything step by step. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Thank you, Tiptop K9! We are absolutely thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. Daisy, who is a Cane Corso pitbull mix was once a bit of a handful, and now is well-behaved and responsive to commands.
