Looking for dog training in Leawood that turns out a calm, polished dog you can take anywhere? KC Dawgz sits right next door. Our Overland Park academy is only minutes from Hallbrook, Leawood Estates, and Ironhorse. From new puppies to serious behavior challenges, our certified trainers deliver the reliable obedience Leawood owners expect.

Leawood runs a strict leash rule: off your property, dogs stay on a lead no longer than 10 feet, with the fenced Leawood Dog Park as the one exception. That leaves little room for a dog that pulls, whether you are walking the Tomahawk Creek Trail or grabbing a table near Town Center.
We start with a free evaluation, then build the leash manners, recall, and calm behavior that fit a polished Leawood household.
“We took our 10-month old Rhodesian Ridgeback to KC Dawgz. We were looking all over in Kansas City and St. Louis for dog training and boarding. We jumped all in with the 28-day Board & Train package. Best money we have ever spent for our puppy! We picked her up and she is a completely different dog. Athena is now well mannered, and a whole lot easier to manage at home. It is awesome to have her home and minding like we always wanted her to. The trainers at KC Dawgz are awesome and answer all of your questions and concerns. And the owner takes time out to come and say hello to you as well. They are all truly involved in the training of your dog. It isn’t a cookie cutter business, they truly do care for your pets like you would want them to. Hands down the best experience we could have hoped for. THANK YOU KC DAWGZ!!!!!!!”

“I worked with Allison for private lessons with our goldendoodle puppy. Allison was extremely knowledgable, professional & made training sessions fun. I learned so much about dog training and believe it is as much about training the human as it is about training the dog. Our puppy learned so much that he went from being a constant counter surfer and an impulsive sock eater (resulting in surgery at 4 months) to a well behaved member of our family! And the best part is I no longer have anxiety about him eating socks and ending up back in surgery!! He caught on to all the training very quickly, and we were able to address so many more issues than I expected. Thank you, Allison!”

Most Leawood clients want the same handful of things:
Our most popular program and a true dog training camp. Your dog lives and learns with our trainers for an immersive stretch, then comes home transformed. Choose the Obedience track for everyday manners and off-leash reliability, or Behavior Modification for tougher issues like aggression and severe anxiety.
Drop your dog off in the morning and pick up a tired, better-behaved dog that afternoon. Our trainers do the hands-on work during the day, then show you what they taught so you can keep it going at home. A great fit for busy schedules that can’t spare a full board and train stay.
Early socialization and foundation obedience to start your puppy off right. We cover housebreaking, crate manners, early leash skills, and calm greetings in the months that matter most. Leawood loves its doodles and family dogs, and we help your pup grow into the calm, guest-ready dog you pictured.
One-on-one sessions focused on your goals, at our academy or in your own Leawood home. Ideal for targeted issues like leash pulling, jumping, door manners, or reactivity. You get a plan built around your dog and direct coaching every step.
Structured group sessions that build obedience and social confidence around other dogs and handlers. A budget-friendly way to sharpen skills and proof them against real-world distractions. A great next step after a board and train or private program.
We meet your dog, hear your goals, and see the behavior. No cost.
We match your dog to a program and give clear pricing before anything starts.
