Dog Training Methodology

Methods: 

  • Balanced Training

Equipment: 

  • E-Collars

Tip Top K9 Troy’s training process begins with a $1 first lesson where trainers visit the client’s home to analyze the dog’s behaviors and begin basic training. Following this, customized training plans are developed based on the dog’s needs and the owner’s goals. All graduates receive lifetime support, including unlimited access to group classes at no extra cost.

Their Dog Board & Train program involves the dog living with trainers for several weeks, receiving 2-6 hours of personalized one-on-one training daily, with regular “pup-date” photos. Upon graduation, a “human training” session is held to equip owners, and lifetime group class access is granted. Aggressive Dog Training identifies and addresses root causes like resource guarding, fear, or dominance, creating custom plans using neutral reinforcement to teach attention through commands like “come,” “place,” and “quiet.”

In-Home Training is recommended for anxious dogs, focusing on general obedience, off-leash behavior, and good manners. Puppy Training, for dogs aged 5-8 months, builds confidence, proper socialization, and foundational skills such as “sit,” “stay,” and “heel.” Group Classes offer a setting for socialization and reinforcement of training. Behavioral Training addresses issues like anxiety, aggression, and excessive barking, starting with an in-home assessment to recommend the appropriate program. Programs aim to fix obedience issues in 2-4 weeks, covering commands like “Come,” proper leash walking, stopping jumping, eliminating nuisance barking, addressing aggression and anxiety, and teaching “Place.”

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

“I can’t say enough great things about this dog training bootcamp! My dog Draco just finished the program, and the transformation has been incredible. The trainers did such an amazing job—he’s learned so much and it’s made life so much easier for both of us. He’s more obedient, calm, and responsive, and I can tell he’s more confident too. The team was professional, communicative, and truly cared about Draco’s progress. Kameron & Tony did an excellent job explaining and demonstrating how to continue Draco’s training now that he’s home. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog. Thank you for all your hard work!”

“We had a great experience with this company! They were (and still are ) professional, responsive, dependable, and reliable. Not to mention, our fur baby has learned all his basic commands in short amount of time. The lifetime of weekly training group sessions offered (free!) will help us build on those new skills! We are so excited that we can now bring our fur baby with us anywhere we go, minus the concerns we previously had!Thank you Tip Top, Cameron, and Thaedon!!!”
