Holly is amazing. Have worked with her twice now. She is wonderful. She originally worked with my female Golden Chloe about 6 months ago, well we added Chloe's older brother to the pack and he also needed some adjustments due to misguided training and abuse. Well she came over and made her miracles happen. She is amazing. Oliver warmed right up to her and now is on his way to trusting I won't steal his food when I get near him. He is learning to trust again. Thank you again for taking care of our animals. You are a wonderful person.
Courtney was a knowledge, inclusive, and engaging dog trainer. Our puppy developed positive behaviors throughout the six week puppy class. I would highly recommend TipTop Tails to anyone with a new puppy or dog. Also, it was fun to stop by the dog friendly Thirsty Hound next door for a drink and a snack after class.
Kat Sweeney is absolutely amazing! She is truly a dog whisperer in every sense of the word. From the moment we started working with Kat, it was clear we found the perfect dog trainer for our puppy and senior dog. She understands dogs and is patient, passionate and professional. We are so blessed and grateful for our amazing dog trainer, Kat Sweeney!!

Our dog had been pushed out of a car and abandoned up the road at 6 months. He wandered for over a week up and down our dirt road waiting for his people to return. They didn't. He found our yard and chose us!! He was a handful, had trust issues, separation anxiety but also a sweet streak. We tried one training place but it used loud noise and harsh discipline techniques...which didn't work well for our sensitive boy. We finally found Kelly and Tip Top Tails!! Their calm, caring, positive reinforcement techniques were just the ticket! We learned great methods in redirecting his abandonment and trust issues. He found us at 6 months old. We put him down at 14 1/2 years old. He was our BEST DOG EVER with great help from Tip Top Tails!! Great Training facility!!
