Before training, my German Shepherd would pull, bark, and ignore commands. After working with Top Tier K9, he now heels off-leash and responds every time. The trainers treated him like family and taught me how to keep up with the training too. Worth every penny!
Emotional Reviews "Training here gave me the confidence to take my dog anywhere — parks, restaurants, even busy downtown. He listens and I finally enjoy walks instead of stressing out." "Top Tier K9 gave us more than training, they gave us peace of mind. Our dog is part of the family, and now he’s well-behaved, safe, and happy. Forever grateful!"
Sergio is an excellent trainer. He is calm and patient and offers reassurance when being a puppy owner feels overwhelming. His advice is practical and gave us ongoing ideas to keep the training up at home. We can’t thank Sergio enough for the experience and sharing all of his expertise with us. We totally recommend sergio if you are considering puppy classes.

So I took my two, which I thought we're untrainable, Rots. I was so surprised how they immediately knew what to do with them. And within the day, I finally didn't have dogs barking at everyone, following orders and I also got a lot training as owner myself.. now day by day they are being the best dogs I could ask for. They are as cool as cucumbers around my 1 yr old and stopped chasing everything. Should have done this at the beggining. I learned more from them then I did watching all those videos on YouTube that weren't realistic. Thanks guys! Def recommended to anyone I know with dogs.
