Top Tier K9 completely changed our life! Getting a large breed puppy, I never knew what it would take to handle a 100 lb dog. After 6 session with Top Tier K9 I can confidently say I feel like I have full control of my 75 lb puppy in any environment! If you are looking for a dog training that will WORK, Sergio and his team are the people to work with!

I reached out via instagram and they told me to give them a call. Gave them a call later on, and talked to a man with horrible customer service. All I was calling for was to book an evaluation. Once I told him my dog breed he started mansplaining the typical behavior of the dog breed. I was trying to ask about a specific type of training and he got really defensive. He didn’t like that I don’t want the basic trainings. As my dog already has the basic training. He tried to belittle my knowledge on my own dog, when he hasn’t met her in person. He said precisely I don’t know my own dog. Didn’t know it was so difficult to JUST book an evaluation. Would give zero stars if I could.

We couldn’t be happier with the ongoing training from Sergio. Our dog Chewy struggled with reactivity and excessive barking which made walks even stressful. Sergio is an exceptional dog trainer, knowledgeable and very attentive to Chewy’s specific needs. He explains everything clearly and he’s helping us feel more confident as owners. We saw noticeable improvement in Chewy’s behavior, focus and obedience within just a few weeks. We are thankful for his guidance and expertise. We highly recommend Sergio to anyone looking for real lasting results.
My family and I had our dogs trained here and couldn’t be happier with the results. While their services aren’t the least expensive, they are absolutely worth every penny and more. The quality of training and the positive impact it’s had on our dogs and our home made the investment well worthwhile.
