5/5

Top Tier K9 did an amazing job with my Cane Corso. My girl Nova is an anxious dog, which made training more challenging, but Sergio was excellent at analyzing the situation and always knew how to help. He was also very flexible with training. If I wanted to expose Nova to a new place or try something different, he was always willing to adjust and train based on our specific needs. He truly went above and beyond, not only with my Cane Corso, but also by providing valuable feedback and guidance for our other dogs. Sergio not only helped with training, but also taught me how to better understand how a dog’s brain is wired. He is extremely knowledgeable and always made me feel safe and confident as a client, knowing he could control any situation if one were to arise with my dog. He is not only an exceptional trainer, but also a genuinely good person who is always willing to help when needed. Sergio is consistently professional, kind, and punctual. I highly recommend Top Tier K9 to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and reliable training.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Juliana. It truly means a lot to hear about your experience working with Sergio. Nova is a special dog, and we’re really proud of the progress she’s made despite the challenges that come with anxiety. Seeing owners gain confidence and a better understanding of their dogs is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. We appreciate the trust you placed in us, not only with Nova but also with helping guide you with your other dogs. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation — it means a lot to our team. — Top Tier K9

I’ve gone to multiple “trainers” in the past but none like Top Tier K9. From the lady answering the phones, my trainer Miguel, and Sergio the owner have all been of immense help from day 1! They set themselves apart by being really patient with me as I am the one learning as well. The examples are relatable and make it easy to understand. I will never go to another dog training place.

Sergio at Top Tier K9 saved my relationship with Benji! My dog was running my house and if I’m honest I considered rehoming him, but I knew that would be irresponsible and I couldn’t do that without first doing my part. So I looked into training and I’m SO glad I found TOP TIER K9 because I’ve heard all the horror stories before with people wasting money and getting no results but I highly recommend Sergio. There is no other training company in the area that can even compare the crew is amazing.

I reached out to Top Tier as soon as we got our Cane Corso, Stormi, as I knew her breed would require extensive training. Sergio came out the same day and went over training goals, any habits needing to be broken, pricing etc. We started off with some one on one sessions at our home, then sent her for a 30 day board and train. They are very responsive and knowledgeable, and posted updates on our baby frequently so we could see her and her progress. Highly recommend this company for any training needs!
