Puppy Genius Program for Kansas City Puppies

Bringing home a puppy is exciting, but it can feel overwhelming when potty accidents, biting, sleepless nights, and leash chaos start without a clear plan. The Puppy Genius Program gives your puppy strong foundations and gives you structure, guidance, and confidence across the Kansas City area, helping prevent bigger behavior problems later. It combines in-home coaching with professional day training so your puppy learns the right skills early and you know how to support them at home.

Start With a Training Evaluation

Every puppy starts with a conversation and a thoughtful evaluation to make sure this program is the right fit. We take time to understand your puppy’s age, temperament, energy level, daily routine, and any early challenges you are seeing. We also listen closely to your goals and what success looks like in your home.


This process allows Sit Now Stay to make informed recommendations instead of guessing. From there, we create a clear training roadmap that fits your lifestyle and your puppy’s needs, with realistic expectations and ongoing support. You leave knowing there is a plan, guidance you can trust, and a team that understands both your puppy and your household.

Puppy Genius: What to Expect

The Puppy Genius Program is designed for puppies 8 to 24 weeks old and combines in-home coaching with professional day training. You receive three private in-home Puppy Preschool lessons focused on potty routines, crate training, biting and chewing, calm behavior, and daily structure, along with five structured day training days that build socialization, confidence, and real-world skills. Throughout the program, you get clear progress updates and guidance, so you always know what your puppy is learning and how to support that progress at home.

Puppy Genius Results That Carry Into Adult Life

The Puppy Genius Program is built around real household needs, not just teaching cues or short-term obedience. The focus is on helping your puppy develop calm behavior, clear routines, and strong communication skills that translate into everyday life. By addressing habits early, the program reduces confusion, frustration, and common behavior challenges while giving you a clear system to follow at home.

  • Faster and more reliable potty routines through consistent schedules and clear communication
  • Calmer behavior inside the home, including better settling and impulse control
  • Reduced biting, nipping, and chewing by teaching appropriate outlets and boundaries
  • Better leash manners from the start, making walks more enjoyable and controlled
  • Improved focus and name response, even around everyday distractions
  • Strong early socialization that builds confidence instead of overwhelm
  • Clear, consistent communication between you and your puppy

The goal is not just a well-behaved puppy today, but a confident, manageable adult dog who can adapt to new environments, listen reliably, and fit smoothly into your lifestyle as they grow.

Clear Communication From Day One

We use a structured marker-based communication system that helps puppies understand exactly what earns success. This clarity builds confidence, reduces frustration, and gives you a repeatable system you can use long after the program ends.

Confidence-Focused Socialization

Socialization goes beyond meeting dogs or people. Puppies experience controlled exposure, movement work, and enrichment that teaches calm thinking in new situations instead of emotional reactions.
