Dog Training Elite

The Best Kansas City Reactive Dog Trainers

Fear and reactivity in dogs can lead to stress and aggression, making daily life difficult for you and your dog. The Dog Training Elite team works to desensitize dogs to their triggers through controlled exposure and consistent training.

Our fearful and reactive dog training in Kansas City is customized to meet your dog’s needs, helping them become more relaxed in environments that previously triggered anxiety or aggression. By focusing on gradual exposure and rewarding calm behavior, we help your dog gain the skills they need to handle stress more effectively.

In addition to desensitization, we provide tools and techniques for you to manage your dog’s reactive behavior issues at home. This includes strategies for handling sudden triggers, electronic collar training, and creating a more predictable routine that minimizes anxiety.

    We cannot thank Dog Training Elite enough!! We brought Rooster home in October of 2024. He is my most fluffy little love my heart could ever desire. Rooster joined our home as our 5th dog and the largest of all of them. Our other pups are 3 wiener dogs and a frenchie. But “Roostie Doo” is my baby. Unfortunately with his larger size compared to our other dogs, and his super high puppy energy he was terrorizing our other dogs. I reached out to Dog Training Elite after hearing awesome stories of the wonders they had worked with other pups… it was the best decision ever. They came out to meet with me and set us up for their Puppy Training program with Kaylee as our trainer. Kaylee worked with us and for Rooster to address all of his issues. From food aggression to a very short attention span Rooster has blossomed into the best boy!! Rooster has completed Puppy Training and progressed into Puppy Gold(which is exactly what they have turned him into). He went from pushing the other dogs around to respecting their boundaries and waiting patiently for his food. He no longer counter surfs, or ties my legs together when we go for a walk. Everyone praises him for his behaviors when I take him to work where he is around at least ten other unfamiliar dogs. He even got his moment is the spotlight and walked like a pro in a parade last weekend!!! I could go on and on about the difference this training has made in “Mr. Rooster Cogburn”. But the true praise goes to Kaylee and the entire team at Dog Training Elite. There is a huge difference in dog training and teaching a dog owner how to best support for their dogs positive behaviors and this team knows it. Thank you so much for ending my husbands complaints of 5 is too many dogs!!!!

    Cat is the best. She worked with our dog in a way that helped them learn quickly. She was patient and kind. I was not expecting our dog to learn as quickly as she did.

    Haylee with Dog Training Elite has been doing an awesome job of teaching us to work with our dogs, Penelope and Oliver. Haylee has made sure each lesson has been tailored to the individual issues we were trying to work on with them. Additionally, she verifies that we have understood what is being taught so that we can continue to work with the dogs on our own. Chuck, Kaylee and Haylee have been completely invested in our progress. We were impressed both with our dogs and our own progress after each lesson! His prices were reasonable which was another plus! Chuck and his team have always been responsive and returned our messages and calls quickly or could easily reschedule if something arose that would conflict. We highly recommend Dog Training Elite for training your dogs of any age.

    Wonderful people who know dogs. Took our 5 month old Standard Poodle from a great puppy to my licensed diabetic service dog in 6 months. Just do the homework. They continue to provide weekly learning activities. Great group. Highly recommend.

    My trainer, Cat, was wonderful to work with, as was the entire team. Training was kind, efficient and effective from Cat, and I’m very glad that training was held mostly at my home. Juniper and I put in the hard work each week - which is a must. It paid off- Juniper passed her certification, and we’re looking forward to the unlimited group classes. Another great feature of Dog Training Elite’s program! I would definitely recommend this group to anyone looking for a solid training program.

    If I could give more than five stars I would. Very knowledgeable on different dog behaviors and really focusing their attention on what the dog and owners need/want from training. Chuck came out for a consult prior to committing and he really walked us through their program and listened to all of our concerns and our reasonings for getting our dog training. We worked with Nate and now my dog looks forward to weekly visits. Great company and employees!

    Truly phenomenal team! They train you in order to train the dog rather than just focusing on the dog. Very much a "Teach a man to Fish" type of training. Our Service dog was the Royals Buck O'Neil Honoree because of their tremendous skill.

    I absolutely loved Dog Training Elite. They came weekly to help both me and my dog to learn how to work together. DTE both demonstrated and allowed me to learn how to train my dog. DTE also answered all my questions, even making themselves available to continue and support my efforts in having a well trained family dog.
