Is a Dog Board and Train Right for You?
Olathe is a busy place to be a dog owner. Plenty of folks here are commuting to Garmin, Honeywell, or Farmers Insurance, running kids to Olathe district schools, and trying to squeeze training into the cracks. It rarely works because dogs learn through daily repetition, not a rushed ten minutes before bed.
That is the whole idea behind a dog training camp. Instead of one class a week that you have to reinforce alone, your dog gets structured sessions every day, real practice around distractions, and full-time guidance from people who train dogs for a living. You skip the slow grind. Your dog comes home already knowing the rules.
A 2-week dog training camp near me search usually means one of two things: you are short on time, or you have tried on your own and hit a wall. Both are exactly what board and train dog training is built for.
Our Olathe Board & Train Programs
Obedience Board & Train
The foundation most dogs need. We lock in the everyday skills: sit and place with an implied stay, loose leash walking, calm greetings, no jumping, and waiting politely at the door.
- 2 Week Program: Core obedience and manners. Starts at $2,000 plus boarding.
- 3 Week Program: Everything in the 2 week program plus an added skill you choose, like heel, recall, down, out, leave it, or kennel. Starts at $2,400 plus boarding.
- 4 Week Program: Off-leash heel and recall with remote collar work, place around heavy distractions, and field trips out into the real world. Starts at $2,800 plus boarding.
Behavior Modification Board & Train
For dogs fighting bigger battles than manners. If your dog deals with leash or barrier reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness, mild resource guarding, or mild to moderate aggression, this is the track.
- 3 Week Program (mild): Leash reactivity and lighter anxieties. Starts at $2,400 plus boarding.
- 4 Week Program (moderate): Separation anxiety, leash and barrier reactivity. Starts at $2,800 plus boarding.
- 6 Week Program (severe): The deep work for aggression and high anxiety, built on desensitization and a clear communication system. Starts at $3,600 plus boarding.
What Makes KC Dawgz Different in Olathe
We have trained dogs across the Kansas City metro since 2017, with a 4.9-star rating across more than 570 Google reviews. Here is what you are signing up for.
- Certified, professional trainers. AKC Certified Evaluators trained through the Michael Ellis School, Karen Pryor Academy, Starmark, and STSK9 University in Belgium.
- A reputation the community trusts. A Pitch “Best of KC” finalist and a Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave, with hundreds of five-star reviews.
- Built for real Olathe life. Heritage Park trails, a crowded Lake Olathe loop, kids, and guests at the door. We train your dog to hold it together in the places you actually go.
- Field trips, not just a kennel. Our longer programs take dogs out to practice around real distractions, because obedience that only works in a quiet room is useless on a Saturday.
- Socialization that counts. Supervised group play teaches your dog to stay calm and social around other dogs, not just obedient on command.
- We coach you, too. A hands-on Go-Home session plus follow-up private sessions, so the training holds long after pickup.
From Drop-Off to Graduation: How It Works
1. Free Evaluation.
We meet you and your dog, hear your goals, size up the behavior, and recommend the right program length. Straight answers, no pressure.
2. Move-In Day.
Your dog settles into our Olathe location. We coordinate your start date and drop-off when you enroll, and you hand over vaccination records and your dog’s favorite gear.
3. Daily Training.
The core of camp. Your dog works structured sessions every day on obedience, manners, and any behavior goals, building skills through steady repetition.
4. Real-World Proofing.
Once the basics are solid, we layer in distractions, supervised group play, and on the longer programs, field trips to public spots. This is where the training becomes reliable instead of theoretical.
5. Graduation and Go-Home Session.
Near the end you come in for a private session. We hand you the leash, walk you through the KC Dawgz system, and show you exactly how to use each command with a trainer right beside you.
6. Follow-Up Support.
Your program includes follow-up private sessions, so you are never left guessing once your dog is home.
