Dog Training in
Kansas City.
Helping You and Your Dog Live in Harmony — One Walk, One Cue, One Connection at a Time
In the heart of Kansas City, we’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, backgrounds, and personalities. But what never changes is the transformation we witness — from frustrated families to peaceful homes, from wild puppy zoomies to reliable recall in the park.
At Newman's Dog Training, we don't just train dogs.
We teach people and pups how to live better together.
From high-energy puppies to leash-reactive dogs, we bring peace and structure to your home — and we do it with heart. Whether you’re looking for expert training, dependable dog walking, or trusted pet sitting, we’ve got your back (and your dog's leash).
Less barking, more bonding!
Dog Training in Kansas City
Private, in-home sessions using positive reinforcement. From basic manners to behavior modification cases, we help dogs and their people live with less stress — and more trust.
We’re your dog’s midday hype crew
Dog Walking Services
Midday potty breaks, structured walks, and solo outings for dogs who need extra attention — with walk route maps and real-time updates.
Your pets’ second-favorite humans
Pet Sitting You Can Trust
Drop-in visits, medication, feeding, and cuddles while you’re away — so your pets stay happy and stress-free at home.
Dogs don’t come with manuals — and neither do
puppies, senior rescues, or leash-reactive companions
. That’s why Kansas City families
trust Newman’s to help them navigate
the fun, the frustrating, and everything in between.
We don’t just train dogs. We support the
whole household
— through
training, walking, and pet care
that fits your life.
We've Been There
"When I rescued my first dog I was working as a zookeeper. I thought I was doing everything right — but within weeks, our home felt chaotic and tense. I realized I needed more than obedience; I needed to understand my puppy dog. That moment changed everything."
Positive Training with Real Results
No prong collars. No intimidation. Just science-backed training that builds trust and transforms behavior — from leash pulling to potty accidents to fear and reactivity .
Real dogs. Real results. No gimmicks.
Support Beyond Dog Training
Whether you need dog walking during the week or pet sitting while you travel, our Kansas City team has you covered with dependable, detail-oriented care .
Reliable care while you work or wander.
Puppy Experts You Can Count On
We love puppies — and we help yours start strong with house training, crate comfort, socialization, and early obedience that sticks for life.
Early habits. Lifelong success.
From Zoo to Your Living Room
When I rescued my first dog,
I was working as a zookeeper — training gorillas, elephants, and sea lions
by day, and coming home to a puppy who didn’t care about credentials. Within
weeks, our home felt chaotic. I realized obedience wasn’t enough. I needed
to actually understand my dog — what motivated him, what confused him,
and how to build trust between us.
That moment shifted everything. I took what I knew from years of animal
behavior science and poured it into helping families just like yours. Since
founding Newman’s Dog Training in 2011, I’ve helped hundreds of families
build peace, clarity, and joyful routines with their dogs — without fear
or frustration.
Whether you’re raising a brand-new puppy or working through complex behavior struggles, I’m here to help you train with purpose — and live with peace.

Certifications and Continued Education

What training techniques does Newman's Dog Training use?
We follow the studies that have been done over the past decades that proves using positive reinforcement is the best way to train not only dogs but every learning species. Newman's Dog Training follows LIMA. This is “Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive”. LIMA describes a dog trainer who uses the least intrusive, minimally aversive approach of humane and effective methods to succeed in achieving the training objective.
Newman's Dog Training Trainers are Certified by the CCPDT
The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers® (CCPDT®), established in 2001, is the leading independent certifying organization for the dog training profession. The CCPDT is the leader in the development of rigorous exams to demonstrate mastery of humane, science-based dog training practices. Thousands of dog training professionals worldwide maintain the CCPDT’s certifications as a mark of high professional distinction.
Newman’s Dog Training is a Certified Evaluator but we are also able to help you get your dog ready for the test. The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) is a certification your dog can obtain to prove they know their commands and will behave in society. They will be tested on ten behaviors such as sit, down, walking on the leash, stay and more.
Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT ) allows their members to stay up to date on latest trends, techniques and scientific studies while creating and maintaining superior industry standard.
HEARTland Positive Training Alliance is a group of dog trainers who promote force free positive training and handling.
This science-backed approach helps bridge the gap between dogs and their families by considering each dog’s unique genetics, environment, and emotional needs. Instead of just “fixing” behavior, we uncover the deeper causes behind reactivity, anxiety, and other common challenges — creating long-term change with compassion and clarity.

What Clients Just Like You Are Saying!
Our clients are excited about their pets and our services
"Using zoom or FaceTime has worked wonderfully during our one on one sessions. Jena can demonstrate things when necessary and she can see how Dolly responds to what she’s learning."
"The way that Jena interacted with Jack from day one was amazing- so loving and supportive, but at the same time, he wasn’t allowed any attention for bad behavior! Her follow up with me and support was also outstanding."
"When other dog trainers made me feel guilty about being a "push-over" and cuddling with my dog, Jena told me it was alright. She helped teach our dog not to jump, bark and more (not just how to do tricks)."
