Find a Dog Trainer in Kansas

KC Dawgs is awesome!!!!! They took our little meat head and in 4 weeks turned him into a well behaved pup that actually listens. He stopped his incessant barking, leash pulling and aggression towards everything unknown. Regan absolutely killed it with Moo (still our meat head at heart) and really helped my wife and I understand how we could continue to work with him to keep him rolling in the right direction. Thanks so much for everything we’ll be back soon for agility training!!

Only went for a chip but great people, awesome service and our very large puppy had a great time with the huge mirror!

Franklin loves daycare. Emily is an amazing trainer and has taught me so much about handling my dog.

So this review is a little delayed, but I referred someone else to Beyond The Dog today, and it made me think about writing a review for our trainer from the past. Ashley and Kelsey helped Moose become a companion to our family. We were concerned with our pup's wild behavior, nipping, and complete disregard for our commands with him. Kelsey transformed Moose to an entirely new animal. He's great with our 1 year old, he listens, he'll come inside now, he'll stay in his place, he'll sit, shake, wait, and so much more. Kelsey did a great job with Moose, saved my wife's sanity (and as a direct result of that, my sanity), and helped us bring out the good in our pup. We can't thank Kelsey and Beyond The Dog enough, and hopefully our neighbor calls Kelsey (if she's still there) also to help with their pup's training soon too!

We adopted a year old pure bred golden retriever and she was wild... We had been recommended to gentle dog training by a trusted friend and boy are we glad we went through with it. Our Charli girl is still lively and energetic but she when its time for her to calm down she knows who is boss. Being able to "put her in her place" and have her stay there was alone worth the cost! Thank you Lisa for going above and beyond answering our questions and giving us a thorough understanding of how our actions are going play the biggest role on her obedience. Great work all around, I would recommend anyone to do this and follow through with what they tell you!

Jeremy did an amazing job training our first dog and we are so excited for him to start working with our second one. Highly recommend!!

I have never met more caring and passionate people!! Each and every person here truly cares about each and every animal that walks through the door! I urge anyone who reads this to go in, take a tour and talk to the people who work here! The service, facility, and everyone who is apart of it are truly exceptional! I would highly recommend for anyone looking for any sort of animal care!

All Dogs Unleashed is AMAZING. I had an 8 month old Bichon Frisé that would not listen and destroyed everything. Now he is super obedient and I can trust that he will return to me when at parks, doesn’t run away from my house, and is calm and loving. So glad I found this service and will definitely use for every future dog I own.

So excited to work with Tim. He seems very knowledgeable and I feel like he can make a difference in the behavior with our new puppy.

Not yet but I am going to. I was very impressed with his knowledge and look forward to working with him.

Mutt School is excellent; I heartily recommend them!!! I feel that there's a fundamental flaw in a lot of trainers in that they do understand how to get dogs to do certain things (sit, stay, etc) but they don't necessarily understand the theory behind what motivates an animal. Animal behaviorists & ethologists look for the why behind certain behaviors; it's difficult to address behavior problems of a dog if there's no understanding of the motivation or the emotions behind their behaviors. This is where Mutt School trainers differ from the others - they focus on getting the dog to decide to behave by themselves & look to the longterm instead of focusing on training methods that work in the short-term but don't address the problems when a human isn't there to tell the dog what to do (ie, you get a dog that you have to micromanage for the rest of his/her life). That being said, I have taken 4 dogs to Mutt School since February 2018 (today is 7/13/18) & all have made enormous strides: 1) "Shadow" is a 2-1/2 year old Australian Shepherd that was poorly socialized & pretty much a semi-feral dog. She didn't let humans pet her & it took me 5 days to get a collar on her to get her to Mutt School in the first place! She ran away or nipped whenever anyone tried to grab her or put a leash or collar on her, not to mention anything else. She did board & train for a month, & by the end of the month, she was playing nicely with other dogs, accepting a harness or collar & leash, going in the kennel, & soliciting affection from humans. 2) "Bella" is an 11 year old Aussie that had a history of reactivity/aggression towards humans and other dogs. She has been doing part-time day training at Mutt School & has been doing private lessons with trainer extraordinaire Julie Croasdale since March. Whenever someone would come to the house, Bella would vocalize & lunge, attacking objects near the window (shredded the curtains). After several private sessions inside the house with a muzzle on, Julie counter-conditioned her fear aggression & has become her best friend. Bella has met several people at both Mutt School day training & at home, & has been able to become comfortable with them & even solicited petting. She is like a different dog now; she went from turning into "Cujo" around people to being happy & less stressed. Bella is still reactive with other dogs but the reactivity is considerably less than a few months ago. 3) "Poika" is a 9 year old Aussie & a service dog that loves people but is very afraid of children. He also became extremely reactive to other dogs after being attacked at the dog park some years previous. Because of his nervousness around children (he would shake whenever he heard a child's voice & tried desperately to hide behind his owner), he would tangle himself up in his owner's walker. He has been doing day training at Mutt School for several weeks & has learned to walk politely with both a walker & a wheelchair. His dog reactivity is still a work in progress, but he reacts from a much shorter distance now & with much less intensity (it became so bad that he once tried to attack an 8 week old puppy). Soon we will begin private lessons with Poika to counter-condition him to children from a distance by going to parks & public places. 4) "Pax" is a 3 year old shepherd mix that spent the first 2 years of his life tied up outside on a chain. He was extremely fearful of men, but was good with people until he had a negative experience & became more & more reactive towards people until he bit a man on the arm, as well as nipping 2 women. He also became extremely other-dog reactive after another dog attacked him. We started private lessons with Julie Croasdale (she's a genius!!); thus far, we have had 2 lessons. The first lesson, Pax was very fearful but was on a leash & a muzzle & was able to calm down after some distance. By the second lesson, he accepted Julie as a friend & solicited petting & belly rubs. A huge shout out to the staff at Mutt School, especially to Julie, Mary & Dawn!!!

We are just getting started but the care and training that has taken place so far has been awesome. We are learning ways to work with our dogs on our own along with the personal attention they are getting weekly with our trainer!

They have done a wonderful job with my cats for me and have been very kind and caring and helpful in every way every single time I have needed help. Every single person I have met there is WONDERFUL and genuinely cares about our animals as their own. We are blessed to have them here.

David is a highly skilled professional dog trainer. My dog loved and trusted him immediately and we all know that dogs are a great judge of character! He is as patient with the owner as the dog:)
