Testimonials
“We just finished our last lesson with our Lab. She is a different dog now. She learned all the commands and it was money well spent. Our trainer was professional and funny. I would tell anyone who wants their dog trained to have Tip Top K9.”
– Barbara Cirando
“Our little cavapoo, an anxious, very active dog just got home from a week at boot camp. He did very well and wants very much to please us. We are looking forward to reinforcing these new skills into regular, calmer, more disciplined behavior.”
– K, H, & QB
“We had them help us train our 2 dogs which were aggressive towards each other, jumping on couches, barking incessantly at Amazon trucks, etc. We had hired other trainers in the past as well as read books and tried several methods (treats, clicks, shock collars, etc). The e-collar method works really well. We have gotten them to do all the regular commands and it’s like having new dogs. Although we still need to work with them on their interactions with each other, they are off the couches unless invited, they quiet when told to, and we can take them on walks together in heel. It’s amazing and Thaden is a wonderful trainer. Can’t recommend this enough!!!!”
