Gentle Dog Training

From the minute we walked in the door we knew we made the right decision with Gentle Dog Training and working with Ken and Lisa. They are the most amazing dog trainers and we are forever grateful for taking our pup there!! Our pup use to be the wild child at the dog park, on walks, etc. and now we receive compliments about him. 10/10 would recommend any body to them and choose them all over again :)

I sent Ruby to "camp" with Ken and Lisa and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I call Ruby my little Covid decision. She's a mini Goldendoodle and as sweet as can be. However, she was definitely the Alpha in our relationship and I knew that had to change. The name of their operation, Gentle Dog Training, is just that. Ruby returned home knowing what behavior was expected of her and she wanted to please me and be rewarded. Ruby presented a challenge in that she is highly allergic to many things and couldn't receive treats. They showed me that positive reinforcement was the way to go. Thank you, Ken and Lisa! You and your entire staff must be commended for your skill in working with our beloved dogs! Lynn Gaebler :-)

I would recommend Gentle Dog Training to anyone needing/wanting their dog to be trained so they can just enjoy the dog more. I sure like my dog a whole lot more since he's gone through training. He is a collie. I live on a farm without yard parameters, so I need the vibration collar to keep him in my invisible bounds. He responds to my control every time I use the vibration. I have never had to dial up the response. He walks to the mailbox with me every day at my side--I use the leash for this due to a busy road we have to cross. He goes to his kennel on command, waits for his food and to go outdoors. I do try to keep up the practicing with him on a daily basis to get it ingrained in him. I can let him go outside of the house as long as his collar is on. I think he would be OK without it, but I haven't gotten the nerve to try it yet:-).He hangs around the garden & yard while I work & follows me wherever I go. I KNOW I couldn't have done this on my own. My dog is 7 months old.

LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS THE PREMIER PLACE IN KANSAS CITY FOR DOG TRAINING. PERIOD. Took my puppy Ruby the Airedale in for the Board and Train program. Trainers Lisa Baechtold, Shari, Kristin, and M. Kirk were phenomenal and Ruby's training was completed with no exceptions. Keep in mind, Ruby was only 16 weeks old when enrolled, and a terrier. The deck was stacked against the trainers, and they all did exceptionally well with Ruby. The facility is perfect. Dog kennels are clean, and the property is well maintained. There's plenty of room for dogs to take a break when not in training, and for potty breaks. With 24/7 monitoring/care, on call vet, strategically planned play groups (based on your dogs behavior and personality), T.R.E.A.T.S. training system, loving leadership, 30-day money back guarantee, and 1 year of follow up training, how could you go wrong? By far, the best money I've spent in a while, and it was very apparent that Ruby the Airedale absolutely loved being there. Well done Gentle Dog Training. My rating... A+
