Rogue and I have taken a few agility classes at The Dogs' spot and have always had a blast! LeAnn and Grace are awesome instructors, friendly and personable while providing clear helpful feedback to help us improve. As a trainer myself I've met many others in the industry, unfortunately not all in it for the true love of dogs and how amazing they can be - but the team at The Dogs' Spot is the real deal. We will definitely keep coming for a long time!

Friendly and informative! I'll be going back for some additional/recreational training like "nose-work"

Karen has been guiding us through in-home training. We’ve only had 3, 1 hour sessions and I have already noticed a drastic difference in our 2 minpins behavior! It was intimidating trying to modify reactive behaviors in adult rescue pups (both 6yrs old), but Karen assured me it’s both possible & rewarding! She is a patient, kind, passionate, & professional trainer. She not only explains how to train behaviors but also WHY we use specific methods & cues. She gave us tips about food, treats, medication, recommended helpful books & videos. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience w/ Karen from The Dogs’ Spot.I should mention that prior to choosing DS, I read about & called several training centers in KC. Dogs’ Spot seems to offer the most flexible options & had some of the most experienced (& multi-certified) trainers. I wanted a hands-on experience rather than an expensive board & train, which just didn’t seem like a good fit for my budget or my anxious dogs.

We have been very satisfied with our trainer, Karen. Very knowledgeable and professional. Pepper is very sad to see her leave.

Went there to start training my dogs in FlyBall. Every one was very welcoming and helpful. Dogs had a great time.

So glad we found The Dogs Spot for help with our reactive dog! Karen, who led the reactive dog class, has been a fantastic advocate and educator. Our dog made a lot of progress with the class, but even more helpful was private lessons with Karen. I specifically sought out a trainer/facility that practices positive reinforcement, and that's exactly the experience we have had with Karen and The Dogs Spot. Could not recommend it more highly!

Karen is incredible, so knowledgeable and patient, she honestly saved us from having to put down our baby, Wesley. IT has been worth every penny, even struggling as we are, and we have learned so much from her! Being able to contact her via text between visits has been immeasurably helpful, and it's really obvious how dedicated she is to helping people and their pups. And I honestly trust her as much, if not more sometimes, as my vet. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

We had the privilege of working with Karen and Ella with our dog in reactive dog 1 training. She was absolutely amazing with molly and and us and would always answer any question we had. We hope to get to work with her again in the future

I have taken several classes at The Dog’s Spot and have participated in several events. The staff is knowledgeable and are excellent at promoting all around good dog ownership. I can honestly say that every interaction I have had with at The Dog’s Spot has had a positive effect on my relationship with my dogs. I have grown more confident in my ownership skills and feel equipped to handle many different interactions. Most of all all the people at The Dog’s Spot want the best for our canine pals and when I am there I feel like I found my people! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel educated and confident in their pet ownership. Regardless of your ultimate goal, there is a class and/or event for you at The Dog’s Spot.

Been coming here weekly for the last year. My Labrador was a HOT MESS. We have grown by leaps and bounds with the help of owner Laura and her staff LeAnn and Grace. They have great patience and superb kindness and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. Also the Dog Spot community has also given me wonderful advice, assistance and support, especially Kathy.

We have 3 German Shepherds and the only way to prevent shepherds from turning your couch into a chew toy is to keep their minds and bodies engaged. We started training at The Dogs' Spot in January of 2021 with our first shepherd. All 3 train there now in various activities including agility, scent work and one of them even did a Treibball class. The owners, Laura and her husband, Kirby, always make you feel welcome. Outstanding staff there. One dog is better in agility than the other 2. LeAnn and Grace are the instructors for agility. Both are very knowledgeable and have competed, or are currently competing, their dogs at a high level. The way our dog has improved with their teaching is amazing. The other two dogs are progressing through a series of scent classes to be able to compete some day. Tracy is the scent teaching guru and is amazing. Tracy is usually helped by Kathy or Natalie who are as nice as the day is long. We have never had a bad experience at The Dogs' Spot. If you want your dog to be trained the right way by knowledgeable trainers they will take care of you.
