Midus Touch is a great resource for are puppy training. James is very knowledgeable and passionate in what he does and we will be doing more classes with him read more

James was a great trainer and Beatrice learned so much. We will be going back for more classes.

James has a very special gifting in training dogs...(and owners). He has a way to explain things that someone like myself can understand. From how the dog thinks and why they do the things that they do to teaching the dog ( more like the owner) to respect and trust. I can not say enough about how James has helped my Gaint Schnauzer (Titus) and myself to be able to respect and trust each other. Now I can enjoy my boy without worry. A big Thank you to Midas Touch Dog Obedience School (James) Forever grateful, Annette and Titus read more

I have a rescue that isn't house trained. I called Midas Touch and spoke with James, and explained the situation with this two-year-old sweetheart of a pup. He kindly offered some very helpful tips, and, as a result, we're making great progress! That kind of focus on meeting the clients needs is more and more rare, and I know where, if down the road professional training is necessary, we'll go! read more

We took our dog Mia for a 2 week Obedience training program with Midas Touch Dog Obedience School. Mia has always had social issues with people and other dogs and also severe food aggression. After her 2 week program was up, I was literally shocked with how good she was doing. James showed us what they worked on and made sure we understood what we needed to do when we bring her home. I see a noticeable improvement in her attitude, behavior around other dogs, and people. I would like to personally thank James and the other trainers! Mia will be going through some additional training with them very soon. I personally recommend this training to anyone with pups! Thanks Midas Touch! We look forward to working with you again! read more

Mabel and I went on a walk today and thanks to James help we are able to go on walks and have her well behaved! So many complements on how well my dogs is trained! Thanks James! read more

Midas Touch Dog Obedience School - Pet Training Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

We will definitely be back for more training. Duke is doing amazing and very receptive to the training. Having a german shepherd can be very dangerous if you don't know how to handle them, but James gave us the tools we needed to be very successful with his training. Thank you so much James!! read more

We brought Charlie to James when we were not sure what to do ourselves. In just the first lesson, there was a night and day difference. James gave us the knowledge we needed and helped us to become leaders for Charlie. In 5 weeks he has helped him become the incredible German Shepherd we had hoped for. We went from a fear of taking him in public around other people and animals to taking him on walks and other places daily with comfort. read more

On July 15, 2023, my husband and I took our two 19 week old Corgi puppies for our first training session with James (the owner) at Midas Touch Dog Obedience School. We had spoken to James a couple of times in regards to what we were hoping to gain from training and paid a $200 deposit. When we arrived James didn't know what we were there for, and gave us the wrong paperwork to fill out. When we were going to write the check for the balance, which should have been $750, he told us it was $4,900. Apparently he was thinking we were boarding our dogs with him for training. That was straightened out, more paperwork was filled out and a check for $750 was given to James. James repeatedly told us on the phone and while at the facility he implements Cesar Millan techniques for training. After telling us our puppies were spoiled, he put a slip lead on our smallest puppy, 8 lbs, and proceeded to drag her across the room yanking hard on the lead repeatedly, which was choking her. He then proceeded to do the same with our other puppy, 9lbs. Each session was supposed to last an hour. This session was 41 minutes and the entire time James was texting and looking at his phone. It was apparent we were not his priority. After leaving we searched and watched Cesar Millan videos and discovered that the way James handled the lead and walking our puppies was not based off Cesar Millan. We decided we were not comfortable with the way James was handling our puppies and called to tell him we wanted to cancel the remaining classes. James informed us that he doesn't do refunds but since we didn't receive a copy of the contract he would refund $700, if we agreed to sign a Non Disparagement Agreement form barring us from posting or telling our experience with his company. We agreed to meet to see the form, James apparently couldn't be bothered to be there and had an assistant meet us. We did not agree with what the form stated as it is basically blackmail, so we left. James has not tried to contact us since. While discussing this experience with another trainer, they told us that none of the trainers want to have anything to do with this man or his business because they don't believe in his practices and his arrogance. They highly recommended we keep our puppies far from this man. Use caution when reading reviews, people will post what they need to if that means they are able to get a refund. I wouldn't let this man near any animal that I had and I definitely wouldn't leave my animal in his care. read more
