About Good Dogz KC

Good Dogz KC is a single-trainer, in-home dog training service in Kansas City. The site is written in the first person throughout and describes the model in one line: "Your home is your dog's classroom. I come to you, build a custom plan around your dog and your lifestyle, and put it into motion day one, starting with the foundations that build the behaviors you want and stop the ones you don't." The header lists the areas of work as puppy training, obedience, reactivity, aggression and anxiety.

Programs

Four are described. Basic obedience is framed around everyday outcomes – "calm at the door, loose-leash walks, reliable recall, a real off-switch". Puppy training covers potty and crate training, nipping, jumping, chewing and recall, and the page explains the in-home preference directly: the work happens "in your home, where your puppy can actually focus, not in a class full of distractions". A third program groups anxiety, reactivity and aggression – the page lists fear, separation, barking, biting and guarding – and sets out the sequence: start calm in the home, then build to the real situations "as your dog is ready". A board-and-train option has the dog live and train at the trainer's own house before coming home with owner coaching.

How it runs

The site publishes its process as three numbered steps: a free phone consultation covering the dog's background, the method, pricing and payment plans; a first session at the owner's house where foundation work starts and the owner leaves with homework of "10 to 20 minutes, 3 to 5 days a week"; then follow-up sessions every two to three weeks to troubleshoot and add skills. A short intake quiz on the home page asks about the specific behaviors, who else lives with the dog, and any bite history.
