Pet boarding/training in Carrollton

“From a hyper-reactive rescue to a calm and loving family member in 10 days, Tip Top K9 gave me a way to communicate to my dog with clarity I didn't know was possible. I adopted Lyric at 2yo from a shelter and within a week of working with TTK9 her behavior at home, and the sidewalk, was something to be proud of. I cannot understate how amazing the trainers are at not only educating pets but the owners as well. I purchased the Teacher's Pet package after a 30 minute consultation and cannot say I have any regrets or complaints - the price is MORE than fair, and I have more confidence as an owner than ever. She was a destructive chewer, but using methods from TTK9 we were able to establish boundaries within 30 minutes. Barking, jerking on the leash at dogs and runners, chasing the broom and mop, and even jumping on the counter for some steak are no longer issues (Fixed in a DAY.) The collar isn't painful at all (self-tested) and the homework is easy! This training method isn't stuffing her with treats or hitting or shocking her all day. I put in a guilt-free hour of practicing a day mixed in with our routine walk and she really shines in our lessons. The in-house training versus driving to the location means she can be comfortable in her environment while also enjoying the same training pace. I'd highly recomend it, and do so whenever I get the chance. Thank you again to the team at Tip Top K9 Carrollton - you gave me a relationship with my dog I couldn't have imagined, and all under 2 weeks of adopting her. Now we can spend our time enjoying each other and practicing new skills, not still stuck training out bad habits.“

“Awesome doctors and staff! They are friendly, professional and compassionate! I would highly recommend this clinic!“

“We had a wonderful experience working with Carla for our golden retriever puppy, Butter. We chose a combination of in-home training and boarding, and it was exactly what Butter needed. During boarding, Carla provided valuable exposure to other dogs, new environments, and a variety of experiences that helped Butter build confidence and reinforce good behavior. The consistent repetition and structure she provided made a noticeable difference.
What we appreciated most was Carla's patience with us as owners. She took the time to thoroughly explain what she was teaching , demonstrate the behaviors, and show us how to continue training at home. She made sure we understood not just what to do, but why it worked.
We were especially impressed by Carla's training philosophy. Her methods reflect modern, evidence-based training that focuses on clear communication, consistency and building trust rather than relying on fear, intimidation, or punishment . Butter responded beautifully to this approach, and we felt confident knowing she was being trained in a way that respected her temperament while helping her learn.
Carla clearly cares about the dogs she works with and is committed to helping the dog and the family succeed. We are very pleased with Butter's progress and highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a knowledgeable , patient, and effective training.“

“As a nurse, this place was a life saver with its drop off and pick up times! My dog Tala is so excited when she’s greeted by Erica in the morning. The whole crew is personable and welcoming. Tala doesn’t really cling to anyone ever, and she’s absolutely obsessed with Toni-she will lay down to spend extra time with him when I’m trying to take her home. It makes me so happy that this wasn’t just a convenient place, but that she loves it here!“

“I’m so grateful to Dr Kapu and the entire staff for taking such good care of my dog Comet last few years ! It was very hard to let him go yesterday but having the support and guidance from Dr Kapu helped me a lot?? They took care of everything for me. I appreciate their service and highly recommend this establishment for all your pets needs.“

“Love Boarding Boutique! My dog is super anxious and they were surprisingly effective in socializing her with other dogs. I’ll never go anywhere else!“
