See big changes
in just 2 to 4 weeks.

At Tip Top K9 Kansas City, we resolve most behavior issues in just a few weeks, and our most popular way to get there is our Doggy Boot Camp.

Your dog lives with our trainer for 2 to 4 weeks and receives daily, focused one-on-one training from morning to evening. No distractions, no missed sessions, no shortcuts.

By the time they come home, you will have a calmer, more obedient dog who listens in real-life situations, not just in a controlled training environment.

We help turn chaos into calm, and we stick with you until your dog gets it right. That's our PAWsitive results guarantee.

"Joseph took our reactive rescue and gave us back a dog we could actually walk. Two weeks. I cannot believe it."

Owner / Lead Trainer · Tip Top K9 Kansas City
Specialty Aggressive & reactiveTraining Kansas CityFocus Board & Train

Joseph Vazquez has spent seven years training dogs professionally — more than 1,500 of them — and he's built his reputation on the dogs other trainers couldn't reach. Aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, anxiety: the hard cases are the ones he takes personally. At Tip Top K9 we don't lean on paper certifications; every trainer is trained in-house from the ground up, and the proof is in the dogs that come home calm and reliable.
