Tip Top K9 Dog Training Carrollton

From a hyper-reactive rescue to a calm and loving family member in 10 days, Tip Top K9 gave me a way to communicate to my dog with clarity I didn't know was possible. I adopted Lyric at 2yo from a shelter and within a week of working with TTK9 her behavior at home, and the sidewalk, was something to be proud of. I cannot understate how amazing the trainers are at not only educating pets but the owners as well. I purchased the Teacher's Pet package after a 30 minute consultation and cannot say I have any regrets or complaints - the price is MORE than fair, and I have more confidence as an owner than ever. She was a destructive chewer, but using methods from TTK9 we were able to establish boundaries within 30 minutes. Barking, jerking on the leash at dogs and runners, chasing the broom and mop, and even jumping on the counter for some steak are no longer issues (Fixed in a DAY.) The collar isn't painful at all (self-tested) and the homework is easy! This training method isn't stuffing her with treats or hitting or shocking her all day. I put in a guilt-free hour of practicing a day mixed in with our routine walk and she really shines in our lessons. The in-house training versus driving to the location means she can be comfortable in her environment while also enjoying the same training pace. I'd highly recomend it, and do so whenever I get the chance. Thank you again to the team at Tip Top K9 Carrollton - you gave me a relationship with my dog I couldn't have imagined, and all under 2 weeks of adopting her. Now we can spend our time enjoying each other and practicing new skills, not still stuck training out bad habits.

I recently adopted a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and knew immediately that I wanted to invest in proper training for him. If you're reading this review, you've probably seen that Mark and Shanti have received terrific feedback from the community. That led me to them, and I have no regrets whatsoever. I wanted to build a close bond of trust with my dog, Nemo. Trust that he will listen to me in every situation so that I can take him everywhere with no worries. He is a big boy and a powerful dog, and building that kind of rapport goes beyond trick training with treats. Mark and Shanti teach how to train using an e-collar. Once I was familiar with the device, how it works, and how to use it I was completely comfortable with it. It is quite literally immediate communication with your dog that they understand, and it is incredible to watch.\n\nI chose to purchase private lessons, and once you complete those you get group lessons for life. That's what really sold me, having trainers available to offer guidance beyond the initial foundational training and continuing socialization for Nemo.

This was one of the best things I could’ve done for my dog. We sent my Staffweiler (Molly) to doggy boot camp and she came back a different dog. Mark was super transparent and helped us every step of the way. The at home training sessions were super helpful and informational. And the sessions for life are something that really excites me. I can’t wait to continue training with Tip Top K9.

Tip Top K9 has been a GAME CHANGER to help train my rescue bulldog. We’ve had the pleasure of working with trainer Mark, not only has he taught us simple but effective training techniques during our session, he also helps with how to carryover the training at home. Mark has been so helpful and supportive in helping teach our dog not only basic obedience but skills needed to successfully perform and behave in public settings, around other dogs, and on the leash. His training techniques are straightforward and effective and we couldn’t be happier with the progress our rescue pup has made thanks to his help.

Mark and Shanti are great trainers and taught us every step of the way with our 1.5 year old labradoodle. Before he used to be very excited and get distracted easily like all puppies do but through their help and training at Tip Top, we are extremely satisfied with how his training ended up. In under 6 months, our dog Hachi has gotten really good with the commands like Sit, Stay, Recall, Place, Wait, Heel and many more. We even got the option for unlimited group classes after the private classes and those have been great to introduce distractions to our dog to test his training as well. I feel very happy and confident to take him everywhere we go and that he will listen. Recommend 100% to anyone looking to get proper dog training!
