About Sit Now Stay Dog Training in Kansas city

Sit Now Stay is a professional dog training facility in Lenexa, Kansas, serving families across the Kansas City metro since 2014. Over the past 11 years, our team has trained more than 2,500 dogs using clear, structured training systems designed for real life. We are locally and women owned, operate out of an 8,000 square foot facility, and are supported by a highly educated team with backgrounds in veterinary medicine and animal behavior.



Our approach is calm, structured, and practical, with individualized training plans based on each dog’s temperament, lifestyle, and goals. We are known for our organized environment, strong safety standards, and long term support rather than quick fixes or unrealistic promises. Most families start with a Free Training Day so we can evaluate their dog and recommend the right path forward with confidence.
