Sit Now Stay’s expert trainers and safety-focused facility make us uniquely qualified to work with dogs of all temperaments from confident companions to those struggling with anxiety, aggression, or reactivity.
At Sit Now Stay, our training team brings over 30 years of combined professional dog training experience and 25 years in emergency veterinary medicine — giving us unmatched insight into both canine behavior and their well-being.
Our trainers haven’t just watched videos online to claim they are trained — they’ve personally attended and trained at the world-renowned Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers in California, learning directly from one of the most respected figures in modern dog training. Our owner has even served as an instructor at Michael Ellis’s school, teaching other professional trainers from around the world. No other dog trainer in Kansas City has that honor!
When it comes to your dog’s education and safety, hands-on experience and formal training matter — and that’s what truly sets Sit Now Stay apart.
At Sit Now Stay, we’re passionate about animals and teaching people. Our vision is to help dog and puppy owners reconnect with their pets and fulfill their dogs’ purpose within their families. Our trainers use the latest behavioral research and scientific methods to provide effective and fair dog training practices.
We’re committed to continuous learning and development for our trainers, and our goal is to help grow the Kansas City community into a dog-friendly haven where owners and their furry friends can bond and experience new adventures together. Join us in creating a community where dogs and their families can thrive and enjoy a deeper, more fulfilling bond. Contact Us Today!
