Before I bought a Tip Top I was an HVAC tech, but now all the hard work that I put in directly correlates to more money in my pocket and me providing for my family — not some huge corporation's pockets.

Don't just take our word for it

Stories from across the network.

Tip Top K9 franchise owners open up about what they love about their business.

What I really enjoy about owning a Tip Top is I can now, after putting in a few years of hard work, create my own schedule and spend more time with my wife and my daughter. And I love the client interaction part of the business — it is so rewarding to train a dog with behavioral issues, see the transformation, and watch mom and dad in tears because of how happy they are with the training.

Seth Flint
Before Tip Top K9 I went to college and had a boring desk job. Working with the dogs and being on my feet is amazing — what better work could you ask for? I'm very hands-on and now I just bought my second location and am as excited as ever!

Josh Johnson
I love the simplicity of starting and operating this business. What worked and didn't have already been figured out, so I just had to execute — and I executed, so it works.

Mike Barnes
If you would have told me I could make big money selling cotton candy I would have done that. But the fact that I now sell dog training and deal with dogs while making great money is amazing.

Adam Stockdall
I worked in the Tip Top K9 call center for 3 years before I bought a location. After 4 months being open I was able to replace my husband's truck-driving income. He now is off the road and works with me!

What separates us: Tip Top K9 owners are more than just business owners. While our dog-training franchisees are normal people, they are some of the most passionate and intelligent entrepreneurs in the franchise industry.

Day in and day out, their passion for dog training and customer service allows them to own a business that not only delivers exceptional training services, but also helps them provide a higher standard of living than they had before.
