3 Best Dog Training in Mesa, AZ

I cannot recommend Tip Top K9 enough! We recently rescued a one-year-old German Shepherd who had been experiencing behavioral issues with her previous owner, and we knew she needed training as soon as possible. We had the pleasure of meeting Trevor for our initial consultation, and his expertise was immediately evident. He thoroughly explained all our training options, and we decided to enroll her in the 2-week boot camp. After her boot camp, we noticed some lingering issues. After discussing with Alex and Kameron, they recommended additional one-on-one sessions, which we gladly agreed to. What truly stood out was Kameron’s care and attention to detail—he even replaced the prongs on her e-collar after noticing she might be allergic to the material. It was clear they genuinely cared about Nova’s well-being and made sure she had the best experience possible. From start to finish, Tip Top K9 went above and beyond to address all of our needs. They not only helped Nova overcome her challenges but also showed true dedication and commitment to her success. We are incredibly grateful for everything they've done. Thank you, Tip Top K9, for taking such amazing care of our sweet girl.

We did a 1 month board and train with our 6 month old Malinois/Pitbull mix for obedience and manners, and the change is incredible. He is still the same sweet energetic boy, but now he has perfect manners! Which makes having such a high energy breed much more manageable, and all of us are happy. Alex was an amazing trainer when he came to train us at his drop off to show us all of his new skills he learned while he was away. He took great care and time to teach us everything and to make sure we had a handle on the new skills before he left.This training is worth every penny. We are excited to continue the training with the group lessons as well. We also really loved the weekly progress reports with the pictures and report cards, that was a wonderful touch. Thank you guys.

We did 1 week board and train with our 1 year old pittie and it made a world of difference for her house manners and jumping. She is such a sweet dog but she could make entering our home overwhelming. Our friends and family who have come over are all very impressed. We’re excited to start taking her to the group training classes.

We became new puppy parents again after about 17 years and really needed help figuring out how to make little Gene a proper gentleman. We decided in home training would be best for our schedules and based on the great reviews chose Balanced Pooches. What a great decision it turned out to be. John was in a word fantastic. We had a fast approaching trip and he was able to accommodate our schedule and help us get Gene confident and ready for the adventure. John was always right on time and respectful and he taught us the importance of being leaders for or dog. Our Gene is still a puppy and has more work to do but from day 1 we already saw huge improvements. Like anything worth having in life, training takes consistency but John teaches you how to make it fun and easy! I highly recommend Balanced Pooches.

We just finished training with John. We had a fearful, somewhat anxious 3 year old rescue mix. John couldn’t have been nicer to work with! He helped us with all of our concerns and issues in a knowledgeable and very respectful manner. We saw improvement after the first session! He gave us information to follow so we can continue to work with our girl moving forward! He definitely understands dogs and their people!! Give him a call!! Lynn.

John trained our 10-month old pug puppy Coco. We have seen a huge improvement in Coco’s behavior and listening skills since we started the program only 21-days ago. Coco went from a puppy who didn’t respect or listen to anyone, to a puppy who behaves like a dog that has been trained properly since day 1. I highly recommend hiring John as your dog trainer. Thank you John.
