Testimonials

We had a wonderful experience at Top Tier K9! Our lab puppy Gunner received a great training foundation that we continue to reinforce at home. I received regular updates from Scott while Gunner was training. Gunner was very excited from the moment we dropped him off. I would highly recommend Scott at Top Tier K9 for all your training needs!

Our dog had a great 3 week board and train experience with Scott. We visited once a week to see our dog’s progress and learn how to replicate the training at home, and we could tell how comfortable and excited our dog was to train with Scott. Scott was very detailed in his explanations and demonstrations to make sure we understood his training techniques. He was always happy to answer our questions even if it meant running a little over the planned lesson end time. We are very happy with our results after 3 weeks and feel confident that we can continue the training at home.

We started to lose hope for our dog, Gunner, as he was just completely out of control. We came across Top Tier K9 and were honestly skeptical at first. We decided to give it a shot and the dog that we dropped off was not the dog we got back. Gunner learned how to be obedient and still be a puppy. Definitely a game changer for our family!
