Your Local Dog Training Experts
Training dogs is personal work. It takes patience, consistency, and someone who genuinely cares about the outcome, for the dog and the family. At Tip Top K9 DFW, that is exactly what you get.
We are part of one of the most trusted dog training brands in the country, backed by over 15 years of proven results and a system that has helped more than 30,000 dogs learn to listen, behave, and thrive. But what makes us different in DFW is the trainers behind the program — the people who show up at your door.
The owner and lead trainer and the person behind every plan we build for your dog.
From first-time puppies to dogs with complex behavioral challenges, our DFW trainers have seen it all — and trained through it all. We work across the Metroplex, from Fort Worth and Southlake to McKinney and Frisco, so the trainer who comes to your home already knows the streets, parks, and patios where your dog needs to behave. Each trainer takes the time to understand your dog's personality, history, and goals before building a training plan that actually fits.
The other faces you'll work with at Tip Top K9 DFW.
I'm from East Texas, and at home I've got two Akitas and an eight-year-old daughter — so I know exactly what a busy, full household feels like. I handle training across the Fort Worth and Southlake areas, helping families turn everyday chaos into a dog they can actually live with.
My own dog is Luna, a one-year-old rescue who keeps me honest about how much work that first year really takes. I run private lessons in McKinney and Frisco, working with owners to build the right foundation early — before small habits turn into big ones.
Tip Top K9 was built on a simple idea: dog training should work in the real world, not just in a controlled environment. Our programs are designed around your dog's personality, your family's lifestyle, and the specific behaviors you need to fix, not a generic checklist. Every trainer in the Tip Top K9 network goes through rigorous training before working with clients. We do not guess. We use a proven system that has delivered results for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments.
No pressure, no commitment. Just a no-obligation session where you can meet us, ask questions, and see how we work.
Every dog gets a training plan built around their specific needs, triggers, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
We back our work. If your dog does not make the progress we have outlined, we keep working until they do.
Training does not end when boot camp does. Every Tip Top K9 graduate gets lifetime access to our group classes — no enrollment fee, no expiration date.
We start where the problem actually lives — in your dog's behavior, their environment, and the daily patterns that reinforce what you are trying to change. From there, we build a plan that addresses the root cause, not just the surface symptoms.
Intensive one-on-one training to build the foundation.
We teach you how to maintain what your dog has learned so the results stick at home.
We proof your dog's behavior in real-world environments so they listen regardless of what is going on around them. By the time training is complete, your dog is not just behaving well in our sessions — they are behaving well everywhere.
We love this community and the dogs in it. Whether we are meeting families in their homes, working with dogs that other trainers have turned away, or building relationships with local vets and groomers, the Dallas–Fort Worth area is where we do our best work. If you are ready to see what the right training can do for your dog, we are ready to show you. Start with a $1 first lesson and let us take it from there.
