Kenzie is beyond amazing in what she’s able to accomplish in two weeks. We are repeat customers. We just brought home our 6 month chocolate female lab from her 2 week board & train. Oakley is the bestest girl and it is such a relief to have her roaming the house with her brother and not chase cats. She went for basic obedience and came home able to be off leash with excellent recall, proper greeting manners, and plethora of knowledge for obedience. Do not hesitate to send your loved fur babies to Kenzie! After a year follow up with our other lab he remembered her and loved seeing her cementing our decision to send our newest fur baby. Best decision you could make!

We decided to have our 5 and a half month old GSD complete 1 month of board and train with Kenzie. She is very knowledgeable and has a tremendous skill set! Our main focus was obedience and off leach training. It was definitely a long month to be away from our puppy but it was worth it. Kenzie set our GSD up for success and is transitioning very well! I would recommend This company a thousand times!

We worked with Shanna in Des Moines, Iowa. This experience once again is proof that paying a professional to do their job matters. Shanna was an absolute joy to work with. From our free consultation to signing up, dropping off and picking up - every single part of the experience was driven by her vision for excellence and making her clients feel comfortable. If you are concerned about leaving your dog with someone you don’t know (we all are), that concern will quickly vanish. These folks will treat your dog like their own. Their professional and proven training has helped our dog Louie overcome behavioral obstacles we wouldn’t have been able to address. In two weeks of training and returning to our home, he’s stopped barking, he listens and he’s become an even better dog.

This is also not a one and done scenario. Shanna truly cares for your success. She’s interested in how your dog is doing and is always willing to help and assist with issues.

Her experience and care for animals made our experience wonderful. We won’t go anywhere else for training.

If you want results, this is the place.

Elite Obedience is phenomenal! My 6-month-old pup completed a 4-week board and train program at the Kansas location with Kenzie. During that time, she learned household manners, basic obedience, and the foundations of competition behaviors. I'll be the first to admit my pup is quite nutty, but Kenzie was thoughtful about finding techniques that worked for her. It was clear in our handoff lesson that Kenzie had earned both my pup's love and respect. In addition to the training itself, Kenzie went above and beyond to keep my pup happy and healthy during her stay—this included posting her ears (iykyk it's no small task), dremeling her nails, and maintaining her raw diet.

Once Kenzie worked her magic on my pup, she did a fantastic job training me! We had a thorough handoff lesson during which she showed me how to hold my pup accountable, reinforce her new manners, and work towards our more advanced obedience objectives.

It was not easy to leave my four-legged daughter for a month, but I slept well knowing she was in capable, compassionate hands. I can't recommend Elite Obedience (and Kenzie) enough!

We took our 2 year old silver lab Maggie for some obedience training due to some aggression she had shown towards another dog in our household. We got her back and she has so much improved! She got the correct training she needed and wasn't turned into a "robot dog." We were very please with the communication with Kenzie (the trainer) and extremely please with Maggie's outcome! We are taking our younger lab later this month and couldn't be more excited to see what she learns as well! Highly recommend Elite Obedience Training for anyone! Great experience with great people! Thank you Kenzie!

Kenzie is AMAZING! I recommend her to every person I know that has a pup. I reached out to Kenzie on her website and was emailed back within a few hours. She was very detailed and wanted to know everything about my pup in order to provide the best training possible. My pit mix, Kota, had some minor behavioral issues (pulling on walks, not listening to commands, etc.) and Kenzie showed me how to bond with Kota and have her listen to my commands. It seemed like the process was a huge success almost overnight. We finished our package and learned Basic Obedience and are planning on practicing for a month or two and going back to focus on recall training. This experience has been truly transformative and I can't thank Kenzie enough for her kindness and extensive knowledge of dog training (and dog psychology).

Thank you thank you thank you Kenzie!!! Kota and I are eternally grateful.

Kenzie helped me with my GSP Atlas and we had a great experience! She is good at tailoring training to the specific dog and answered all my questions.

I recently got a German Shepherd named Chief. I was wanting to get some basic obedience training, not only for him but for myself as well. I searched high and low for a trainer in my area and came across Elite, I contacted them and was promptly answered! I had a no obligation free consult with Chief and instantly bonded with Kenzie and chose her for Chief's training and I couldn't be happier! She is amazing and GREAT with Chief! I also really enjoy watching her with her own dogs as well. I am new to the German Shepherd world and Kenzie has welcomed me with open arms and has really showed me the ropes! I can also count on her for help with any training questions that may come up! Chief just graduated obedience training and we are now moving forward to advanced training with Kenzie! I highly recommend Elite Obedience, not only for German Shepherds, but for any breed of dog in need of training!!
