I highly recommend this kennel to all my friends and family; they too have had very good…read moreexperiences with Chase. Chase is the kennel owner who's passionate about dogs, and it's well reflected in his kennel conditions as well as his treatment of the pups! He caters well to high energy bird dogs like my GSP with long walks, and playing with other bird dogs. There's also very nice accommodations for my French Bull dog including a mock living room with air conditioned spaces to meet their more sensitive needs. I've left my dogs with Chase 4+ times and will continue to do so, he communicates well and is well prepared to cater to any dogs needs! You need to give him a call!

Jenna is a remarkable training. We have a stubborn American Staffordshire who was interacting…read morepoorly with our cats and other dog. Jenna was able to train him out of bad behaviors and her training techniques also helped me less hyper. She gives personal, one-on-one training and also provides tips for play activities to keep the dog stimulated.

We highly recommend Jenna's calm nature, love for dogs, and passion to provide a dog with a loving educational experience.

We HIGHLY recommend KC DAWGZ at the Gladstone location! Our sweet, sassy, smart, and a lot…read morestubborn 7 month old girl Zona was struggling with leash reactivity, anxiety, dog reactivity, etc. One of our neighbors recommended them so I called right away and from the first phone call I knew they were the ones to give us the help we needed! Richard has done AMAZING things for our whole family after 4 weeks-I even extended her training! Zona is just a happier girl and I'm no longer nervous taking a 70+lb guardian breed (at 8 months) out in public, greeting people, or on walks. And the girls who greet her every day are just as great! If you are considering professional training for your dog-just go for it. Richard worked with me to read her cues, loose leash walking, heeling, recall, working towards neutral with other dogs (WIP), and many more things. I'm as much a work in process as she is, but the patience they have shown is unmatched.

Our dog Ruby just went through a 4 week behavior modification training program with Steph at the…read moreGladstone location. Ruby was reactive on leash and at at our fence with the neighbor dogs, and had problems focusing on us (and what we wanted) while she was outside. She's the first non-food-motivated dog we've ever had, and so we had no idea how to get her attention when she was so focused on everything else. We had only ever trained with treats and that just wasn't working this time. But Steph did know how to train her. After training, our dog is calm and confident. She can loose leash walk in the neighborhood at heel. She's patient and well mannered. A model citizen. She will focus on us when we're outside and come when called, which used to be a struggle if there was a nice breeze, or an interesting leaf, or a bee, or the moon to gaze at. I highly recommend training through KC Dawgz and the associated Digs boarding facility/play group in Gladstone. We dropped Ruby off every morning and picked her up after work, and got to take home a well behaved dog in the evening. She learned while we were working, when we didn't have the time or expertise to do it ourselves. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If you just have a wacky four legged roommate or a furkid who has a tougher problem, Steph can sort them out for you. The initial consultation was free and easy to schedule and the package we went with included in-home training lessons to make sure everything worked out right at home, too. Some of the best money we have ever spent. (Thank you Steph!!!)

David and DogWatch KC are by far the best hidden fence company in the metro area. Their product…read moreline is the highest quality available, priced competitively and the lowest maintenance of any competitors. But what really makes the difference is how David does business: best customer service, honest and great communication from the first call to install and beyond! I shopped 3-4 other companies when we needed a hidden fence system and honestly I would have chosen Daivd and DogWatch KC just because their product is so much better than the others, but on top of that, they're also true professionals to work with! I can't recommend this company enough, it should be the only choice if you need a hidden fence system.

We are so impressed with Dave and his product!! He came out and got it all set up and worked with…read morethe dogs for at least an hour.
