Four Reasons To Choose TipTopTails
Dog-Friendly ♦ Service ♦ Experience ♦ Commitment


Dog-Friendly Dog Training

Our dog training is structured in easy-to-follow steps and your dog is rewarded for getting it right at each step along the way. We have a gentle approach to training based on scientific knowledge about learning and behavior, not fear or physical punishment.

Service

Every dog and owner is different, so we customize dog training to your individual needs. We treat our clients with respect, kindness, and a sense of humor. We're always available by phone or e-mail to answer your questions. 

Experience

Our head trainer is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer with over eleven years of dog training experience to help you meet your goals.

Commitment

We are passionate about dogs and serious about animal welfare. A portion of all class fees is donated to area shelters, and we offer discounted group dog training classes to dogs adopted from shelters and rescue groups. We also offer lost pet recovery services for lost and missing pets.
