KC Dog Obedience Training & Behavior Modification
If you need a dog or puppy trainer in Kansas City, choose one with a proven track record and who loves what they do. We will observe your dog’s behavior in person and customize each training program to suit the dog’s individual needs. We enjoy working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—even dogs that have been labeled hopeless cases.
Clients choose Fountain City Dog Training for our knowledge, professionalism, and affordability. We offer a commitment-based training experience which means charge per program, not per lesson, so you’ll always know exactly how much it will cost to meet your dog’s training goals.
Whether your new dog needs help adjusting to their new life as a part of the family or your older dog is struggling with aggression, Fountain City Dog Training can help.

JP Carter – Owner/Head Trainer
JP Carter is a leading dog trainer in Kansas City Metro and surrounding areas. He was finishing his B.S. in behavioral economics when he met his beautiful wife, Wendy, at the University of Kansas. Their first “child” was a 200-lb. Great Dane named Baby Blue. Later, they struggled to train his daughter’s Chihuahua, which made him curious to learn more about dog behavior.
He contacted John Van Olden, owner of Canine Trade Group, for help. After working together to solve his dog’s behavior problems, John suggested he try dog training as a career. JP was quite adept, and he quickly gained his dog training certification and founded Fountain City Dog Training.
Fountain City Dog Training is dedicated to preventing bad habits and correcting challenging training issues such as aggression, anxiety, and hyperactivity.

Aggressive Dogs
We deal with severe canine behavior problems every day, including various forms of canine aggression. Our trainers will help you determine your dog’s behavioral triggers and communicate that their behavior is not okay.

Expert Kansas City Dog Training
Fountain City Dog Training in Kansas City gets results. We use time-tested, balanced, and customizable training tools and methods. Every dog is different, so why should their training programs be the same? This is why choosing a one-on-one trainer who has studied multiple training philosophies is important. Let us provide a dog training program for your dog’s unique needs.
From basic obedience to aggressive dog training, Fountain City Dog Training’s got your back.
Why choose private dog training in Kansas City?
You could enroll in a group dog training class or send your dog to a board-and-train program, but neither of those options will give your dog the tools it needs to succeed. Private, in-home dog training lets your pup learn desirable behavior in its typical environment while promoting owner involvement.
