KC Dawgz’s Olathe academy at 16129 S Lone Elm Rd is our home base for Olathe and southern Johnson County. Day Training, private lessons and puppy training all run from this location, Monday through Friday, with trainers who coach you alongside your dog so the results hold up at home. Board & Train and group classes run at our Overland Park academy.
Olathe families bring us everything from new puppies to dogs with leash reactivity. Every dog starts with a free evaluation, so we can see the behavior firsthand and recommend the program that actually fits, not the most expensive one.
Here’s where we see Olathe dogs struggle most, and how we fix it:
“Allison was so great with my pup Louie! I really feel like she cares about his success. I opted for the day training classes – two weeks now and two more weeks in December. Today was Louie’s semester break and I am really amazed at how much he has learned. Allison was great at breaking down the training steps and answering all my questions. Louie is a puppy, so we’ve been working on general obedience training- sit, down, recall, place, heel. I left today with a packet of info on how to move forward and a promise from Allison to be available to answer questions when needed. This experience has been so positive. I am excited to see what the future brings with our training! I encourage you to sign up!”

“Christina did a great job working with our Lab and Lab mix, adapting her training to suit their very different personalities. The day training program was very convenient and we had great results!”

Day Training is the main program at our Olathe academy. Drop your dog off in the morning and pick up a tired, better-behaved dog in the afternoon. Your dog trains with our team in three to five short sessions a day and sleeps at home every night, so you practice together from the first week. Programs run 2, 3 or 4 weeks and cover leash pulling, jumping, recall, puppy manners, reactivity and more. More about Day Training.
Get your puppy started on the right track with our Puppy Training program, available from 8 weeks old. We focus on early socialization, housebreaking, crate manners, early leash skills and bite inhibition. We reward the behaviors we want with food, play and praise, and teach clear boundaries only after your puppy understands what’s expected. More about Puppy Training.
Private Training sessions are one-on-one, built around your specific goals, and held at our Olathe academy. They’re a strong fit for one specific problem, like leash pulling, jumping, resource guarding or barking. Dogs with aggression or severe anxiety usually do best in Behavior Modification.

Not sure? That’s what the free evaluation is for. We’ll look at your dog and your goals and tell you which program fits.

Yes. Our Olathe academy is at 16129 S Lone Elm Rd and serves Olathe and southern Johnson County, including Lenexa, Gardner, Spring Hill and De Soto. It’s open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Board and train runs at our Overland Park academy, and the dogs stay overnight with Woofs, our boarding partner in the same building. If you’d rather your dog sleep at home, Day Training here in Olathe gives your dog daily, hands-on training while you practice together every evening.
It depends on the program and your dog’s needs, with most board and train programs in the Kansas City area running into the four figures and day training or private lessons costing less per session. The honest way to get a real number is our free evaluation. Check our promos and specials too, since current deals can bring the cost down.
You can begin puppy training as early as 8 weeks for socialization and basics, and most dogs are ready for board and train around 5 to 6 months. It is never too late, though, since we train plenty of adult and senior dogs.
For busy owners or stubborn behavior, yes, because your dog gets full days of consistent work from a pro instead of a few rushed minutes at home. The key is the go-home lesson and your follow-through, which is exactly why we train you before your dog heads home.
Basic obedience usually starts clicking within a few weeks of consistent work, while bigger issues like reactivity or anxiety take longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your evaluation instead of a one-size-fits-all promise. Day Training programs at our Olathe academy run 2, 3 or 4 weeks.
Yes, behavior modification is one of our specialties, including leash reactivity, anxiety, and dogs who struggle around other dogs or people. We assess your dog first, then build a plan around safety and steady progress.
Yes, the City of Olathe requires a license for any dog over four months old, along with proof of a current rabies vaccination. You can handle it through the city clerk’s office, and it is smart to sort it out before hitting the public parks.
The Heritage Park Dog Off-Leash Area on S Pflumm Rd is the big one, with around 30 fenced acres, a pond, and trails (just watch for the Tuesday morning maintenance closures). It is a perfect spot to test a reliable recall, which is exactly what we train for.
We offer a range of programs at different price points, so there is usually a fit whether you want a full board and train or just a few private lessons. Start with the free evaluation, and we will point you to the option that gets results without overspending.
