Day School Dog Training in Kansas City

Day School at Sit Now Stay is a structured day training program for dogs in the Kansas City area who need consistent guidance, clear communication, and real-life manners without staying overnight. Your dog trains with our professional team during the day and goes home with you at night, making this a practical option for busy Kansas City families who want real, lasting progress.


No group play. No chaos. Just focused, professional training.

Start With a Training Evaluation

Every Day School program begins with a training evaluation. This allows us to assess your dog’s behavior, energy level, learning style, and your goals as an owner. From there, we create a personalized training plan designed for your dog and your household.


First step: Schedule a training evaluation or a free training day so we can confirm whether Day School is the right fit and outline a clear path forward.

Why Day School Is Structured This Way

Consistent training during the day gives dogs repeated practice in a structured, controlled environment, which helps reduce confusion, build confidence, and form habits that carry over into everyday home life. Day School is built for long term success rather than quick fixes, supporting improvements in leash pulling and walking manners, jumping on people or guests, slow or inconsistent responses to cues, overexcitement and impulse control challenges, confidence in new environments, and overall household behavior.

What to Expect From Day School

Day School follows a structured, repeatable training process designed to build reliable behavior and confidence. You receive regular feedback so you stay connected to your dog’s progress and know how to reinforce skills outside of training days.


Your dog’s training day typically includes:

  • One-on-one training sessions with a professional trainer
  • Leash communication and obedience work
  • Engagement and focus exercises
  • Confidence-building activities and enrichment
  • Structured rest periods that support learning

There is no group play. Each dog works through a personalized plan focused on skills that matter at home and in everyday Kansas City life.

Owner Support and Follow Through

Training includes hands-on owner coaching so skills transfer smoothly into daily routines. We guide through habits to protect progress and improve consistency at home.

Is Day School the Right Fit?

Day School is a strong fit for busy Kansas City owners who want professional training support, dogs who need consistent structure and guidance, and families who want steady progress without overnight boarding, especially when owners are committed to following through at home. If a dog needs more intensive support, Boarding School may be the better option, while dogs who need clear structure and foundational work often do best starting with Day School.
