Kansas City K9 Academy – Dog Training & Boarding

Kansas City K9 Academy offers several structured training programs. The Bronze Paw Program is a one-week (Monday-Friday) intensive board and train course designed for young, energetic dogs and owners seeking a solid obedience foundation. It focuses on high-level basic obedience (Come, Sit, Stay, Place, Off, Loose Leash Walking) and correcting nuisance behaviors like jumping, digging, chewing, barking, and leash pulling. This program includes personalized follow-up lessons, unlimited group classes for life, and in-depth training materials.

The Silver Paw Program is their most popular 10-day training option, recommended for most dogs. Dogs stay Monday-Friday, go home for the weekend, and return for a follow-up week to proof their training. This program aims to teach dogs to understand commands deeply and make good choices independently, handling moderate distractions. It includes foundational off-leash training techniques and a solid on-leash heel, with an option for public place training. It is a minimum requirement for dogs showing any aggression.

The Gold Paw Program is the most comprehensive and advanced training option, involving three weeks of intensive training with a break for home practice. It covers foundational obedience, introduces dogs to and proofs them around intense distractions, and focuses on reliable off-leash training and recall. This program is for ambitious owners who want their dog to achieve the highest level of obedience and be a reliable companion in any situation.

They also offer Private Training, specifically designed for dogs exhibiting extreme human aggression, where staff cannot safely handle them within the facility. These lessons typically start with a 3 or 5 lesson package, are customized, and require committed owner involvement. Unlimited Group Classes are available exclusively to current and former board & train clients, held monthly on a Saturday morning in Miller J. Fields park in Lee’s Summit, MO. These classes focus on distraction training and provide a safe space for reactive dogs to improve obedience and social skills.
