Glowing Reviews From Tip Top K9 Graduates

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!

Excellent service! Our puppy is so good

Awesome ! Love the home coming

Tip Top K9 Gilbert was quick to respond to my inquiry. We have a 10 year old Cocker Spaniel and we were worried about her aggression towards our newborn. I always felt heard and not judged. We both had the same goal, to help our dog Baby feel safe. Our consolation was amazing with Cameron! He really listened to our needs and spent time with us to ensure we had the best plan put together. It really was $1! They picked her up from our home a few days later for a week long training camp. I had called to check on our girl and they were great at communicating with me. They even have a texting system set up. A few days before her “homecoming party” I received a wonderful video update via email. The love that she received after showing off her new skills with Josh, made me feel like she was in good hands. We received thorough communication about her arrival and they worked to find a time to meet our schedule. Tony arrived with Baby and was attentive, kind and a great human trainer! We learned about the e-collar, her new skills and how to put them to work. Tony was patient as we went through many scenarios that would put her new skills to the test. He made sure we understood and answered all of our questions. I am beyond impressed that not only were they able to teach an old dog new tricks, they bathed her before coming home. 1000/10 recommend!

Tony was INCREDIBLE at showing us how to keep up with Baby’s lessons learned. Josh did an incredible job training her. HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to transform their dog.

Tony dropped off Bodie and did a great job teaching us! Alex who trained Bodie while he was there also clearly did a great job!

Tony was fantastic with our drop off training. All was explained to our understanding. Tommy and Tony have done a wonderful job with Steve. We are looking forward to the group training in September.

Tip top was great with our very temperamental frenchie. Our dog did not like any humans that lived outside of our home. Brett came and picked him up for boot camp and our dog took a liking to him and he loves training with him. Tony was so great and thorough going over all of the training that they had been through when he dropped our pup off. Making sure we were very comfortable with all commands, training needs and collar instructions. We feel very confident and can’t wait to join the group classes!!!

Tony was fantastic with our reintroduction to our dog, Crew. Tony did an amazing job showing us and our two kids how to work the remotes and collar. He took the time to work with us and Crew on the proper technique to make the thronging be more successful. We highly recommend Tip Top K9 Gilbert, and Tony! Brett was awesome with Crew, as he worked with Crew while he was at the training facility.

We had a wonderful experience with Tip Top k9! Our dog has gained confidence and has become such a good listener. I love the way the training is outlined, and it is so nice with our busy schedule that they came to us for training sessions! Thaeden, as well as the whole staff, were great to work with. Everyone was so kind and helpful through the whole process start to finish! Highly recommend Tip Top k9!

Tip Top Canine did amazing in teaching commands to our dog to help us better train! Tony was great with us and our dog and helped us learn how to use their collar and teach us how to continue training with our pup! Amazing company!

Great company! Easy to work with from start to finish! Special shout out to Treyvon, Tommy, Brett for training with Bronco and HUGE shout out to Tony for taking time and being patient when doing the home training with my husband and I after boot camp. Thank you guys!!!

Thaeden is extremely nice and super helpful. We purchased the teacher pet package (private training) for our dachshund/cocker spaniel mix, who had a lot of aggressive and stubborn characteristics and had repeatedly bitten and lashed out at us. We were pretty lost on a solution with how bad our dog was being and no online training video would help; until we discovered tip top K9. To check if it worked for us, the initial one-dollar setup for someone to come out was great, and the query was quite simple. There were many options available, so you can pick the one that best suits you and your dog. Our trainer Thaeden was amazing and knowledgable. I highly suggest this program. The dogs' lifetime group class that is included in the package was the deciding factor for me! Strongly suggested!

Thank you so much for the training, Tony, Trevon, and Brett! Our dog Bodie has learned so much at Tip Top K9 Boarding School. We are so grateful for all of the help! Definitely missed our dog while he was away at boarding, but seeing the results when he came home made it all worth it. The training my husband and I received from Tony after our dog came home from boarding was extremely thorough. We feel confident and supported to maintain the training our pup has received. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

I dropped my dog off extremely reactive and they worked with her until she was ready to pass a dog without barking or lunging! Definitely recommend.

Tip top k9 transformed our almost 3year old German shepherd into the dog we knew he could be. He is calmer, more disciplined and certainly more obedient! Barking gone, bolting gone, amazing results in 10 days! I cannot praise these trainers enough. Treven the manager/trainer gave us a wonderful experience while training us to maintain and reinforce Casey’s learning experience. I highly recommend this Gilbert based school. The opportunity to return to training is available as well as class reunions in the cooler weather. I highly recommend Tip Top K9, at the Gilbert location. We are so appreciative our dog was trained with kindness and verbal rewards…not by treats. Great experience for our dog and ourselves. Wish we had found them sooner!

Tip top was amazing and so helpful for me and my golden doodle. Thaeden was so amazing.

Thaeden trained our puppy Ambush and we’ve noticed a huge difference! He also worked great when our lover boy dog kept trying to interrupt lol

Thaeden was awesome helping us with Ambush our puppy. He was super nice and funny. Thank you guys so much! Ambush is making great progress!

After one week our 5 month old American Bully xxl is a totally different dog. Absolutely fantastic to how well he listens and acts around everyone

The training was great from the initial visit to the post home visit. Tony and Tommy were amazing for Midas!

Tony did an awesome job training us(humans) when he dropped off our dog. Brett must have done a great job training our dog as he new the commands right away. Thanks Tip Top K9!

Got my boy Zeus the superstar package that they had they did a great job updating us throughout the whole time it was an amazing experience Tony has come and dropped him off and gave us a great tutorial and showed us the work Zeus put in and he has done so well Brett also worked with him they did so well I'm so happy thanks guys would recommend
