01.1

INTRODUCTION ABOUT US Tip Top K9 provides dog obedience training services.

For the last 8 years we have helped Tulsa and Oklahoma dog owners every year fix bad behavior and enjoy their furry companion even more!!

We are dog trainers in Tulsa who have a passion to train dogs and help people to better enjoy their dogs. Dogs are pack animals and the better people understand how to interact with their dog and how to train their dog the more they will enjoy their pet!

We got started full time about 8 years ago to help people be able to enjoy their dog off leash, in the house, or anywhere. Our trainers all love dogs and want them to have the best lives possible, not just be stuck in the back yard but to have freedom and be able to be trusted by their owners.

Here at Tip Top K9 we do not train for competition obedience or agility, but our focus is on off leash obedience and manners. We want the average dog owner to be able to take their trained dog anywhere and everywhere off leash with them. We specialize in training aggressive dogs and dogs with issues. No dog is too hard, we have seen many dogs saved from being put down that were labeled “red zone” or “un-fixable” by other trainers.
