“I cannot recommend KC Dawgz enough! I rescued my puppy from a shelter earlier this year and was lost with all of the resources and suggestions out there when it came to dog training. KC Dawgz helped him go from a fearful pup who was a handful on walks, to becoming obedient and calmer overall! The trainers and staff at KC Dawgz are so knowledgeable and kind. They answered all of my questions so patiently and really take care of your pup like their own!”

Life on a Prairie Village Sidewalk

In a walkable city, the sidewalk is where training gets tested. Here is what we fix most:

  • Loose-leash walking. Past fenced dogs and neighbors in Corinth or the Village.
  • No fence-line barking. Calm instead of reactive on the block.
  • Door manners. No bolting out the front door.
  • Reliable recall. Comes when called at Harmon or Franklin Park.

Meadowbrook Park’s paved trails and Franklin Park’s open greens are great for building focus once the basics are in place.

Our Dog Training Services in Prairie Village

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 for a confident, easy-to-live-with dog. We cover housebreaking, crate manners, and early leash skills in the months that matter most. A new puppy in a busy neighborhood needs the right exposure, so a stroll past Harmon Park stays calm.

One-on-one sessions focused on your goals, at our academy or in your own Prairie Village 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.
