Dog Training in Gentry
Professional In-Home Dog Training for Gentry Families
The dog won't come back when you call down by the lake, lunges at the cattle behind the fence, and barks at every truck on Highway 59. Out here in west Benton County, with water, livestock, and wide-open ground in every direction, a dog that won't listen turns a simple walk into a fight.
Most dogs we work with in Gentry aren't bad dogs. They just never learned how to settle or hold their focus around distraction. In a couple of weeks they're walking on a loose leash, coming when called, and staying steady when an animal moves across the field.
Tip Top K9 brings dog training to your home anywhere in Gentry, from the new homes at Sandy Acres to the places out toward Flint Creek. Your first lesson is $1 and includes a full behavioral assessment.

Why Gentry
Why Gentry Dog Owners Choose Tip Top K9.
01 · Recall Near the Water and Flint Creek
Recall Near the Water and Flint Creek
SWEPCO Lake and the Flint Creek Nature Area put fishing, birds, and open water right in reach, and that's exactly where a dog that won't come when called gets dangerous. We build a recall that holds up off-leash around water, waterfowl, and other dogs, so a trip down to the lake is something you look forward to instead of fight through.
02 · Calm Around Animals and Traffic
Calm Around Animals and Traffic
Gentry has more animals around than most towns, from the livestock behind the fences to the exotic animals at the Wild Wilderness Safari, and a dog that fixates on every one of them is hard to walk. Add the fast traffic on Highway 59 and you need a dog that holds its focus on you. We teach a solid heel and a reliable "leave it" so your dog stays steady around animals and the road.
03 · Puppies, Started Right
Puppies, Started Right
Whether you brought a puppy home to a new build at Sandy Acres or to a place out in the country, the first few months set the habits for life. We start puppies with housebreaking, crate manners, and early obedience, plus the socialization a small-town puppy needs so it grows up confident instead of fearful around new people and dogs.
04 · No Spare Hour to Train the Dog Yourself
No Spare Hour to Train the Dog Yourself
Between work, the long drive into the metro, and everything else, there isn't a free hour to spend correcting the dog every day. Our Board and Train program does the heavy lifting: your dog stays with our trainers, gets intensive daily work, and comes home in 2 to 4 weeks walking calmly and listening the first time. Before you pick up, we teach you how to keep it that way.
Community
Serving the Gentry Community
Our trainers come to you across Gentry, from downtown and the school neighborhoods out to Sandy Acres and the country roads toward Flint Creek. We train your dog where you actually live, because obedience that only works in a quiet room isn't worth much down at the lake or out on a road with livestock on both sides. Gentry is its own town with its own school district, set well west of the metro, and that wide-open, small-town character is exactly what we train for. A dog that's steady at home, steady near the water, and steady around the animals and traffic of west Benton County is a dog you can actually enjoy out here.

Two dogs
“I have had dog training from other trainers in the past and it doesn't even compare to the results I got from Tip Top K9.”
Ziva · Malinois x German Shepherd Lessons
“They helped to train her to be less distracted so that she will listen and obey basic commands no matter what happens around her.”
Gentry, answered.
Do you come to my home in Gentry?
Yes. We're a mobile, in-home service, so your trainer comes to you anywhere in Gentry, from Sandy Acres and downtown out to the country roads toward Flint Creek. Your dog learns right where the problems actually happen, which is where the training has to hold.
Can you teach my dog to come back off-leash near SWEPCO Lake?
Yes. Reliable recall is one of the skills we're asked for most out here. We build a come-when-called you can trust around water, birds, and other dogs, so a trip to the lake or Flint Creek isn't a gamble every time.
Our dog fixates on livestock and other animals. Can you help?
Yes. We work through the chasing and leash reactivity that come with farm country, so your dog can hold its focus on you and stay calm around livestock, traffic, and the dogs it meets on a rural road.
We just got a puppy. When should we start training?
Start now. The best window for puppy training opens around 8 to 10 weeks, and out here your puppy also needs early socialization so it grows up confident. Your $1 first lesson gets you a plan built around your puppy's age.
“They were so patient with our 5 month old Boston Terrier, who is full of energy!”
How does Board and Train work, and how fast will I see results?
Your dog lives with our trainers for 2 to 4 weeks of intensive daily work and comes home transformed. Most families see real change in that window. Before pickup, we train you and your family on how to keep the results going at home.
“Even after just 24 hours back, we’ve seen a 100% improvement.”
How much does dog training in Gentry cost?
Your $1 first lesson includes a full behavioral assessment and straightforward pricing. After that, cost depends on what your dog needs, whether that's private lessons or our Board and Train program. No surprises.
“The one-on-one sessions were well worth the investment, and one of the biggest perks is having access to group classes afterward.”
