Kansas City Dog Owners Love Our Results

Tony dropped off Bodie and did a great job teaching us! Alex who trained Bodie while he was there also clearly did a great job!

Tony was fantastic with our drop off training. All was explained to our understanding. Tommy and Tony have done a wonderful job with Steve. We are looking forward to the group training in September.

Tip top was great with our very temperamental frenchie. Our dog did not like any humans that lived outside of our home. Brett came and picked him up for boot camp and our dog took a liking to him and he loves training with him. Tony was so great and thorough going over all of the training that they had been through when he dropped our pup off. Making sure we were very comfortable with all commands, training needs and collar instructions. We feel very confident and can’t wait to join the group classes!!!

Tony was fantastic with our reintroduction to our dog, Crew. Tony did an amazing job showing us and our two kids how to work the remotes and collar. He took the time to work with us and Crew on the proper technique to make the thronging be more successful. We highly recommend Tip Top K9 Gilbert, and Tony! Brett was awesome with Crew, as he worked with Crew while he was at the training facility.

We had a wonderful experience with Tip Top k9! Our dog has gained confidence and has become such a good listener. I love the way the training is outlined, and it is so nice with our busy schedule that they came to us for training sessions! Thaeden, as well as the whole staff, were great to work with. Everyone was so kind and helpful through the whole process start to finish! Highly recommend Tip Top k9!

Tip Top Canine did amazing in teaching commands to our dog to help us better train! Tony was great with us and our dog and helped us learn how to use their collar and teach us how to continue training with our pup! Amazing company!

Great company! Easy to work with from start to finish! Special shout out to Treyvon, Tommy, Brett for training with Bronco and HUGE shout out to Tony for taking time and being patient when doing the home training with my husband and I after boot camp. Thank you guys!!!

Thaeden is extremely nice and super helpful. We purchased the teacher pet package (private training) for our dachshund/cocker spaniel mix, who had a lot of aggressive and stubborn characteristics and had repeatedly bitten and lashed out at us. We were pretty lost on a solution with how bad our dog was being and no online training video would help; until we discovered tip top K9. To check if it worked for us, the initial one-dollar setup for someone to come out was great, and the query was quite simple. There were many options available, so you can pick the one that best suits you and your dog. Our trainer Thaeden was amazing and knowledgable. I highly suggest this program. The dogs' lifetime group class that is included in the package was the deciding factor for me! Strongly suggested!

Thaeden helped us with our cockerspaniel/dachsund, named Bellamy. Bellamy had aggressive tendencies and bit us multiple times. After our training sessions with Tip Top K9. Bellamy has improved tremendously. He listens to commands. And seems to be more happy and more comfortable with us.

Thank you so much for the training, Tony, Trevon, and Brett! Our dog Bodie has learned so much at Tip Top K9 Boarding School. We are so grateful for all of the help! Definitely missed our dog while he was away at boarding, but seeing the results when he came home made it all worth it. The training my husband and I received from Tony after our dog came home from boarding was extremely thorough. We feel confident and supported to maintain the training our pup has received. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Tony, Brett, and Trevon were all amazing in the process of training our dog! They did an amazing job and even helped explain and teach us! Bodie is better than ever! Thank you!

I dropped my dog off extremely reactive and they worked with her until she was ready to pass a dog without barking or lunging! Definitely recommend.

Thaden was wonderful with our boy! He was very thorough and really helped my husband and I with the commands. Would highly recommend!!

Tip top k9 transformed our almost 3year old German shepherd into the dog we knew he could be. He is calmer, more disciplined and certainly more obedient! Barking gone, bolting gone, amazing results in 10 days! I cannot praise these trainers enough. Treven the manager/trainer gave us a wonderful experience while training us to maintain and reinforce Casey’s learning experience. I highly recommend this Gilbert based school. The opportunity to return to training is available as well as class reunions in the cooler weather. I highly recommend Tip Top K9, at the Gilbert location. We are so appreciative our dog was trained with kindness and verbal rewards…not by treats. Great experience for our dog and ourselves. Wish we had found them sooner!

Tip Top K9 was an amazing experience for my energetic big boy! He is so much better behaved and looks happy 😊

Tip top was amazing and so helpful for me and my golden doodle. Thaeden was so amazing.

Thaeden trained our puppy Ambush and we’ve noticed a huge difference! He also worked great when our lover boy dog kept trying to interrupt lol

Thaeden was awesome helping us with Ambush our puppy. He was super nice and funny. Thank you guys so much! Ambush is making great progress!

After one week our 5 month old American Bully xxl is a totally different dog. Absolutely fantastic to how well he listens and acts around everyone

The training was great from the initial visit to the post home visit. Tony and Tommy were amazing for Midas!

Tony did an awesome job training us(humans) when he dropped off our dog. Brett must have done a great job training our dog as he new the commands right away. Thanks Tip Top K9!

Got my boy Zeus the superstar package that they had they did a great job updating us throughout the whole time it was an amazing experience Tony has come and dropped him off and gave us a great tutorial and showed us the work Zeus put in and he has done so well Brett also worked with him they did so well I'm so happy thanks guys would recommend

Loved my our experience with Tip Top K9, Tony and Brett did a phenomenal job training our boy Zeus. We were able to walk off leash around our busy apartment building!!!! 10/10 experience highly recommend.

Tony was great! He explained everything so well and we feel so comfortable with the process and the support moving forward!

Tony was great! By the end of the training we felt comfortable with the commands and the remote. Look forward to working with him in the future. Highly recommended!!

Tony was awesome with the take home process after boot camp! Super thorough and helpful. We also appreciate Tommy’s hard work with the boot camp while our dog was away. We see immense and immediate improvement in our dog.

Tip Top K9 was amazing with our very large rottweiler Maverick. Maverick was showing signs of aggression and lunging towards strangers. TTK9's trainers especially Alex did an amazing job teaching Maverick how to accept our wants over his own. We are so happy to have these new skills and a dog who listens.

Tony was the trainer who brought chip back and did an amazing job teaching us how to properly use our e collar on our dog and how to enforce the commands. The heel command was the most noticeable after working with him for about 10 minutes or so (at home) he stopped pulling ( after being a puller for almost 14 years).

Tony did a great job in explaining everything once I got her back. He trained my buddies Doberman and was the one that told me about this place. Definitely recommend to anyone looking into this.

The best experience we’ve ever had with training!! Thaiden was phenomenal with our very anxious dog Otter and has been so thorough with his training.

Earlier this year, I rescued a shelter dog with high anxiety. I live in an apartment and it was really important to me that he was trained so that he can live a happy, full life with less stress on the both of us while going in and out (and to other places). I wasn’t sure how well it would work considering his demeanor, but I have been so insanely impressed!!! Between his first and final lesson today, he’s a new dog!!! Thaedyn has been so patient and understanding with the both of us, and I’ll forever be grateful to him for helping me give Rowan this new life! I’m no longer scared & stressed to take him outside and pass other people and dogs. There’s a newfound trust: I know that he will listen, and Rowan knows that he can! So thankful to TipTop! We will definitely be utilizing group classes as well once it cools down!!!

Amazing trailer for both our dogs. In just 2 sessions, saw great results in commands and behavior. For the first time ever, we were able to take our aggressive/protective dog in public and walked into Lowes!!

Tip Top K9 provided my family the best training experience we could ask for with our Rotti... she was with her trainers Treven, Tommy and Tony of which all 3 were amazing with her... they kept us updated with plenty of pictures as well as videos... they not only trained our baby but Tony provided excellent training for my husband and me and we would recommend them to everyone...Thank you Tip Top K9 Gilbert... you all are one of a kind...

Tony was great in assisting us in learning. He was patient. Tony gets all the stars

Tony and Josh did a great job training our pup!

Tony & Josh convinced me that behavior in my dog could change with positive reinforcement and proper training tools. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results with their care and training!

Thanks Tony and Alex so much, my girls are well trained in commands. Thanks so much for taking care of Adele and Noelle and having patience with them.

I wasn’t sure about how my 2 dogs would do with boot camp but they were so alert and followed commands so well. Tony brought them back and gave us 2+ hours of training in our home. He took his time and went at our pace and made sure we were comfortable with each command. He showed us and then had us do it to gain confidence. Thanks TipTopK9.

Tony was amazing! He took his time and showed us how to make sure everything was easy to understand. He did not rush, he made sure to go over everything in great detail and he did not hesitate to make sure every question went without an answer.He did not make anyone feel rushed at all and his hospitality was extremely refreshing.

We had a great experience working with Thaeden! From the start, he was respectful, friendly, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our dog is super smart but also very high-energy, rowdy, and a bit chaotic, so we knew we needed someone patient and skilled. Thaeden exceeded our expectations. He was not only thorough but also excited to answer all of our questions, and he really took the time to understand our dog’s personality.What stood out most was his calm, trustworthy presence and his exceptional teaching ability (something that's surprisingly rare). He didn’t just train our dog, he taught us, too, including my kids (ages eleven and thirteen), which made the whole process feel like a true family effort. Training our dog became a bonding activity. I also really appreciated that he followed up at the start of each session to help us stay accountable. Thaeden clearly loves what he does, and his passion and excitement made the sessions both effective and fun. We left each session feeling empowered, confident, in control, and connected with our dog.

Tony was so helpful with training us as well as our boy. He made sure we felt comfortable with each command when he brought him home from his boarding camp and we feel confident to continue his training ourselves. Brett trained him at the camp and we were so proud of the videos we were sent of his progress.

Tony was great! Very patient and knew his training!

Tony was very patient in training us and our dog. Great job

From the moment that Trevon came to our home to meet our 8 month old Corso (Rhea) we immediately knew that Tip Top K-9 was exactly what we needed. He took the time to explain the purpose and the science behind neutral reinforcement training. He wasn't pushy or "salesy" about explaining all of the different training packages that they offered and helped us figure out which option was best for our family and for Rhea.We opted for the 2 class in home package. Thaeden came to our home and was super polite, friendly and professional. He made all of us including Rhea feel at ease and comfortable. He was patient yet firm with us and thoroughly explained every step of the training. He encouraged us to continue to put in the work daily with her. We opted to train for 2 months at home before we had our second class. Well worth it. Rhea was able to master the commands we learned in our first class and was ready to move on to more complicated skills. We are truly grateful for both Trevon and Thaeden and cant wait to continue our lifetime training every week at the free group sessions that are included with the purchase of ANY training package.Thanks Tip Top K-9

Tony was great when it was time to pick up our fur babies and returning them once they’ve completed their training. Very professional experience and our dogs are behaving better with manners and listening skills. I would highly recommend Tip Top K9. Tony was awesome!!!

Tip Top K9 did an amazing job, Tony explained everything on how to continue the training. We had 2 dogs train and board and the results speaks for themselves. Tony, Brett and Tommy did an outstanding job.
