Kansas City Dog Owners Love Our Results

Tony - went above and beyond for our doggy Luna. Highly recommended for all, to get their fur babies trained! Thank you so much!!!!!

Tony was wonderful! Really patient and made sure we understood everything. Highly recommend!

My 2 year old goldendoodle did great with Thaeden..she is no longer barking and listens to all my commands now! Highly recommend!

Thank you Thadan for taking care of our Lil B, highly recommend!

Highly recommend if you are looking a doggie boot camp! Tip top was amazing, answered all our questions, and my German shepherd came back and I feel like she is a totally different girl, but in a good way! No more pulling! Yay! And thank you to everyone who was apart of the training process. And thank you to Tony for being knowledgeable and an amazing trainer on the parent side as well and being polite and respectful. Appreciate everything you did. We couldn’t be more happy with the outcome!

Amazing!! Totally worth it! We had an extreme humper 1.5 year old Pitbull after one class he was not humping anymore. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

We had them help us train our 2 dogs which were aggressive towards each other, jumping on couches, barking incessantly at Amazon trucks, etc. We had hired other trainers in the past as well as read books and tried several methods (treats, clicks, shock collars, etc). The e-collar method works really well. We have gotten them to do all the regular commands and it’s like having new dogs. Although we still need to work with them on their interactions with each other, they are off the couches unless invited, they quiet when told to, and we can take them on walks together in heel. It’s amazing and Thaden is a wonderful trainer. Can’t recommend this enough!!!!

Thaeden was an amazing training. It is genuinely a night and day difference with my dog Harlie. She was very reactive before, it was hard to take her to coffee shops and even just walking on the sidewalk I was so scared she was going to lunge at other dogs or even people. She can now sit in a place and ignore most of what’s going on around her. We went to a coffee shop last weekend that was filled with dogs and she laid on her place for almost 2 hours before we left. I couldn’t be happier!!

My dog Cesealia has been doing amazing with this training! She is able to be around dogs so much easier now!

We had an excellent experience using Tip Top K9! Tony and the team were great to work with, and we are so pleased at our dog's improvement! Would definitely recommend

Our dog was an anxious crackhead when we got her from the shelter and now she is such a chill well behaved girl. She was aggressive and now she walks around people without a leash without any issue and is all around so much happier. 10/10 can’t recommend enough. The investment is well worth it!

Top notch training for sure! My stubborn shepherd husky mix listens and is doing really well with her commands. It's like I have a different dog. Lol. They thought me how much consistency matters too Thank you Tip Top K9 💖

Our family extremely enjoyed our time with Tip Top K9 from the initial meeting they were able to assist us with our Boston Terriers needs. Our Luca is a naturally protective dog and he just took well to our trainer. We really enjoyed every time we met with them.

Tip Top K9 was great, Odessa came home much calmer and easier to train than months before. Anthony also made teaching her my new behavior as easy and fast as possible. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing trainers! Helped me get my chaotic husky puppy under control immediately! Now he is a dream with my entire pack of dogs. I highly recommend them to any and all people who need help training their troublesome pooch. 100% guarantee can't be beat! I know I sound like a commercial but they are the real deal. I only give reviews if they are truly worth it and they really are! 10 out of 10!

What a great program! My dog went from a total nuisance to a very well-behaved girl in 6 visits. Thaeden is a fantastic instructor!

We had a great experience with Tip Top K9 Dog Training. We started off with a consultation where a trainer met us, assessed our pup to see how she was behaving, then advised us on their best recommendation for a training program. There was no pressure whatsoever to sign up or purchase, which we appreciated.We chose the week-long bootcamp program as we wanted quick results. The program we chose was not cheap by any means, but you truly get what you pay for with a dog training service. They picked up and dropped off our pup at our house, which was extremely convenient and walked us through any questions or concerns we had.Our pup had really quick results and was ready to come home in just 7 days! They gave us updates and shared a video with us midway through her program. When she was dropped off, her trainer, Tony, came into our home and spent an hour walking us through all of our pups new commands and how to use the training collar. Tony was wonderful! Very kind and extremely respectful. With very few attempts, my pup was listening to my new commands. I would absolutely recommend this training service!

I can’t say enough great things about this dog training bootcamp! My dog Draco just finished the program, and the transformation has been incredible. The trainers did such an amazing job—he’s learned so much and it’s made life so much easier for both of us. He’s more obedient, calm, and responsive, and I can tell he’s more confident too. The team was professional, communicative, and truly cared about Draco’s progress. Kameron & Tony did an excellent job explaining and demonstrating how to continue Draco’s training now that he’s home. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to build a better relationship with their dog. Thank you for all your hard work!

Great team, great communication 👍Our Poppy returned home after 3 weeks of training, with a totally different behavioral habits. Now he listens, follows, and it has become much easier to train him even further. Thanks to the whole Tiptop team specially Kameron whom patiently thought us how to communicate with our Poppy. 🙏

We had a great experience with this company! They were (and still are ) professional, responsive, dependable, and reliable. Not to mention, our fur baby has learned all his basic commands in short amount of time. The lifetime of weekly training group sessions offered (free!) will help us build on those new skills! We are so excited that we can now bring our fur baby with us anywhere we go, minus the concerns we previously had!Thank you Tip Top, Cameron, and Thaedon!!!

Highly recommend Tip Top K-9 for all dog training! After just 1 week, Ares showed amazing results. I was worried at first as German shepherds can be stubborn with training if not done properly. Trevon from the first encounter reassured me Ares would be in good hands and definitely delivered! A huge thank you to the whole team for the great work!

Had a great experience! Thaeden is really personable! Would recommend!

Great company. Thaeden is a great trainer to work with. You won’t regret it.

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!

Walks with my dog used to be so miserable we didn’t go everyday. After two sessions our walks were enjoyable and stress free! Thank you Tip Top K9

Thaeden is a fantastic dog trainer. He is easy to work with and very punctual.

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 just finished our last lesson with our Lab. She is a different dog now. She learned all the commands and it was money well spent. Our trainer was professional and funny. I would tell anyone who wants their dog trained to have Tip Top K9.Barbara Cirando

We had a great experience with Tip Top K9 in Gilbert! The team was great with our pup and very convenient to work with. The in home sessions were great, our pup caught on quickly, and we feel prepared to continue to build on the skills learned. Highly recommend this company.

We only paid for two classes and the improvement in our dog is amazing!! Taught everything we needed to learn to continue by ourselves, and worked with our budget. If we ever get another dog I 100% will be coming back. Worth every penny:)

Definitely notice a huge difference in both of my dogs, one Pitty and one Staffordshire. Definitely recommend for anyone who has excitable dogs that bark at other dogs. Thanks guys!

We are so pleased with the results of the book camp for our puppy Finn. He was very stubborn and we were struggling with training for him. Our big concern was getting him to do simple commands and walks. He would pull so hard on walks and be very excited and distracted with other dogs, bicycles. And always wanted to chase cars. He spent 12 days at book camp and came back a different dog. It has given us such a great base to continue with his training on our own.We have had a great experience starting with the phone staff to the trainers. Treven and Alex were professional and great to work with. I highly recommend this company and so happy with the results.

I’ve used them for two dogs now, highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Tip Top K9! Both Trevon and Thaedon are amazing to work with, have a great sense of humor, and truly love what they do! When I initially called, Trevon came over and showed me what the training was all about. He was very professional and patient answering all my questions. It took me several months to decide to do the training and I asked if he wouldn't mind coming back a second time so he could explain it to me again and also my husband. Our trainer, Thaedon, is so good at what he does and our pups are so much easier to deal with now even though it's only been a few weeks. We have a Cavapoo and a Malshipoo that love to bark at everything! It's great learning a new technique that doesn't involve yelling and treat bribery! We can't wait to start group training, which is free for the life of our pets. If you're on the fence trying to decide if this is right for you, I highly recommend it. This is the third type of training we have done, and the most successful with immediate results. I'm sure positive training and balanced training work for some dogs, but they didn't work for ours.

Our dog is a 3 year old female Boxer. We decided to seek training for habits of ignoring commands, being overly distracted on walks, and jumping up on guests in our home. Ellie spent two weeks in house at Tip Top and came home with markedly different behaviors. The trainers we came in contact with were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. When Ellie returned home she was obviously attached to trainer Alex. We were very pleased with the results our dog had from Tip Top training. We will recommend them to our friends.

they completely transformed my dog!

Thank you so much to Thaden, a wonderful experience training my crazy dane! Very helpful and patient, on time and overall nice person!

Our little cavapoo, an anxious, very active dog just got home from a week at boot camp. He did very well and wants very much to please us. We are looking forward to reinforcing these new skills into regular, calmer, more disciplined behavior. K, H, & QB

Everyone at Tip Top K9 is amazing! Trevon did our consultant and wasn’t pushy at all. He connected with our dog and really obsessed his behavior in order to recommend the number of lessons that would be appropriate. He did not try to over sale. Jessica was the gal in the office and was very communicative regarding appointments, scheduling and payments. Thaeden came to our house to do training and provided step-by-step directions. He made sure all our questions and concerns were addressed. Hands down the best! Quality training at reasonable price.

Trevon and Alex are amazing!!! We got Salem back last night and can see soo much improvement this morning. I've been working with her this morning and I've noticed the effort that was put into her training. Thank You soo much Tip Top K9! Highly Recommend!

Thaeden was so helpful in teaching Sam recall and place! We can’t wait to come to group classes!

Wonderful training experience. I would recommend this training to anyone in need of training.

Great experience all around. Both of our previous defiant siberian huskies are very well behave. Definitely recommend

I Had a great experience 10/10. Would recommend to anyone and everyone
