We are pleased to announce the expansion of Top Tier K9® through Top Tier K9® International. Recognized as the world’s greatest dog training company, Top Tier K9 has led in the development and distribution of educational systems for use by dog owners, dog trainers, and dog handlers in pet and working dog training.

Top Tier K9® Franchising manages the distribution and support of Level One (Pet) and Level Two (Pet and Foundation Dog®) training franchises within the continental United States. Providing an educational bridge that is a pathway for business professionals to enter the dog training industry, exploiting their skills in business, marketing, and customer satisfaction in the dog training industry.

Top Tier K9 International is the company that provides for the worldwide distribution of the Top Tier K9 Academy for Dog Trainers educational system, the Foundation Dog training system, the Litters on the Ground program, and a modified Top Tier K9 franchising model per jurisdictional rules and requirements. A jurisdiction can now achieve a standardized approach to training pets and working dogs in a way that they are no longer forced to rely on the importing of working dogs. Their handlers and trainers can obtain the highest level of abilities in all working dog deployment requirements based on the needs of their country, as opposed to the inconsistencies of a foreign market supply. Working dog breeding, training, testing, certification, and deployment are now scalable within their own jurisdictions through Top Tier K9 International.

“The opportunities are endless in the private and public sectors”, says Jeff Minder, Founder of Top Tier K9. “Our proven approach to training dogs, their owners/handlers, and dog trainers can now be licensed and successfully implemented anywhere in the world. We provide individual programs, a US-based franchising system, and now a global distribution channel that is multi-lingual, adaptable, and scalable to jurisdictional needs. Making the world’s greatest dog training company portfolio of services available throughout the world”.
