If your dog has a hard time settling down in the house, be sure that your approach to helping them isn’t accidentally contributing to the issue. 🩶

A few adjustments in your routine may be all you need to start seeing progress!
As always, we’re here to help if you need it 🐾

Hot take: your dog trainer does not care if your dog can sit 🙈

I don’t care at all what position your dog waits in, as long as he isn’t rushing past you to barrel out the door. I don’t care if he holds a stay until you to release him to eat his food- I care that he knows not to resource guard it from your children or other dogs. I don’t care if he can do party tricks if he takes off running every time you unclip the leash.

Teaching your dog fun things at home is GREAT, as long as it isn’t a substitution for teaching the behaviors that allow them to be successful members of society too. There’s certainly a time and place for obedience commands, but the real bread and butter of dog training is helping them learn how to behave outside of the time they spend holding a sit-stay.

So often owners will contact us for training and tell us “he’s really good- he already knows sit and lay down!” But unless your dog is a gentleman the other 98% of the time too, we have much bigger fish to fry than that. 🐠

Hi, I’m Kenzie 👋🏼

I’m the owner of Elite Obedience Training, and the trainer you’ll work with if you book any programs in Baldwin City, KS! I have been training professionally for 7 years now, with experience in puppy foundation, basic obedience, competition obedience, and behavior modification.

When I’m not working with client dogs, you can find me spending time with my own German Shepherds- Draco (6 years old), Envy (6 years old), Valkyrie (4 years old), Wolf (3 years old), and Coven (1 year old). In my free time, I train and compete with them in Schutzhund/IGP, which is a working dog sport centered on tracking, obedience, and protection. I have titled both Draco and Envy to an IGP3, Valkyrie and Wolf to an IGP1 (so far), and I have competed at the national level with Draco for the past several years!

My favorite part of training is helping owners to be able to truly enjoy their dogs- it is so fulfilling to see training open up new freedoms and opportunities for the dogs we work with, but equally as rewarding to watch the quality of life improve for the humans involved too. 🤍

This beautiful girl is looking for her forever home!

Shiva is a 1 year-old long coated German Shepherd who will be staying with us as a foster until she finds the perfect fit.
She was imported from Germany as a puppy, and she has a good amount of training under her belt already!

A little bit about her:
• she is crate & potty trained
• she has solid basic obedience and a reliable off leash recall (she has been through training with us!)
• she loooooves food
• she is up to date on vet care, vaccinations, and preventative
• she’s great with people!
• she is safe with other dogs on walks/hikes, but would do best as the only dog in her household (she doesn’t love sharing her people with other dogs at home)
• she is a bit overly interested in cats, so we’d recommend a home without them

She is located in Baldwin City, KS, and will come with ongoing training/support from us to help her transition into her new home- please reach out with any interest, or to set up a meet and greet 🐶

Say hello to Cooper 👋🏼

Cooper is a 5 month-old Coonhound puppy here for a 4 week behavior modification board and train program! Do not be swayed by his cuteness 😂 Cooper has a pretty serious resource guarding problem when it comes to his food, his bones, and any household item he steals that he feels belongs to him.

We’ll be spending the next 4 weeks addressing that behavior, as well as instilling some very reliable on & off leash obedience skills to help his family manage him more easily back at home!

Very much looking forward to all of the progress to come for this little man- stay tuned for updates! 💚

We are now full for the remainder of the year for 4 week/behavior modification programs, but we do have one spot left available for a 2 week board and train starting the week of Dec. 2- this will be our last available board and train opening of the year! After that spot is filled, we will be booking into 2025.
Visit our website (www.eliteobedience.com) for pricing info & program details, and be sure to reach out with any questions or to get your spot reserved!

If you’re in the process of looking for a dog trainer, especially in board and train situations, please be sure to screen them carefully 🙏🏼

Dog training is (unfortunately) a completely unregulated industry- there are no official licenses or certifications required to call yourself a dog trainer, which means it can be difficult to decipher which trainers are truly qualified and in it for the right reasons.

This list of questions can be a great starting point as you sift through potential board and train programs in your area! Above all, listen to your gut- it’s so important that you mesh well with your trainer’s personality and feel comfortable with them. If you feel like something is off, keep looking 🫶🏼

Help us welcome our newest board and train dogs- Oakley, Chloe, and Bella 🐶

Oakley is a 6 month-old Labrador Retriever here for a 2 week board and train focused on learning all of the basics! We’ll be focusing especially hard on curbing her desire to jump up on people, teaching a reliable off leash recall, and instilling some much needed leash manners. Oakley’s owners are repeat clients (their first Lab did a board and train program with us as well), and we’re so excited to be working with their family again!

Chloe is an 8 month-old Mini Goldendoodle here for a 4 week program! We’ll be working on solidifying her potty training, teaching a reliable recall off leash, establishing some household manners, and proofing her obedience training around plenty of distractions.

Bella is a 4 month-old Rottweiler mix, also here for a 4 week program! She’s a bit shy and unsure about brand new people and places, so we’ll be focusing extra hard on continued socialization and confidence building while she’s here, alongside addressing her jumping, continuing her potty training, and establishing a reliable recall off leash.

So much progress to come for these guys- we’re excited to get to work 🫶🏼

*We have one spot remaining for a 2 week board and train program starting the week of December 2!

Meet our newest foster dog- Cisco 💛

Cisco is a 1 year-old mixed breed boy from Rescue K-911, and he’ll be here with us until he finds his forever home!
He’ll be spending time brushing up on leash manners, learning an off leash recall, and a practicing continued socialization with new dogs and people until the right fit for him comes along.

Fostering is such a fun way for us to give back! We almost always have a foster dog of some type here (either from Rescue K-911 or from private rehoming situations), and we love being able to help them learn life & obedience skills in training that make it so much easier for them to be successfully adopted.

Cisco is crate & potty trained, neutered, and up to date on preventative and vaccinations. He’s good with people, children, and other dogs, and he’s well on his way to developing a super solid range of basic obedience skills- stay tuned for updates of the good boy, and please reach out to us or Rescue K-911 if you have any interest in giving him a forever home 🐶
