Welcome to Flip’s Top Dog
Dog Behaviour Consultant, Trainer and Owner-Instructor
With over 30 years experience as a full-time professional dog trainer and owner instructor, Flip has trained and worked with the owners of the widest range of dogs imaginable: from wolves to guide dogs, show dogs to companion dogs, dogs with severe behavioural problems to puppies of just a few weeks of age and dogs with no problems at all but who nonetheless benefit from the mental stimulation of training.
Whether you are looking for training classes or need some individual help through 1:1 private training, Flip’s Top Dog offers a range of courses and services to suit. Training is undertaken exclusively by Flip.
Classes and consultations normally take place at our indoor Training Centre at ‘The Stables’, Ellerslie Racecourse, Auckland - although Home Visits or training at special locations can be arranged.
Services include:
- Consultations & Private Training
- Training Classes
- Customised Private Courses
- Other Services (Seminars, Workshops, Creche, Wrangling)
Looking forward to meeting you and your dog!
