Professional Dog Kennels, Dog Training & Pet Grooming in Kansas City, MO

We had to leave our pitbull for the first time and he can be extremely reactive to people. We were nervous at first but the staff reassured us that they work with dogs of all levels of temperaments and that he would be in good hands. They weren’t lying! He did great! By the time we picked him up they said they were able to get him out of his kennel, loved attention from staff and even gave him his bath prior to pickup. We are so thankful for this facility and the amazing staff! 10/10 would recommend to anyone that believes their dog has reactivity or aggression.

Brought my two dogs here for training because the new "adoptee" wasn't getting along with first dog, and there was a sizable size difference between them. Returning new dog to shelter wasn't an option for me personally, so training was last resort. While the communication was a bit sketch at first, the end results are exactly what my dogs needed. They are now living harmoniously, eating together, walking together and even occasionally playing together, but definitely not being aggressive toward each other. I liked the fact that they were honest about not guaranteeing they'd learn to get along (because they're dogs and you never can tell). I enjoyed watching the videos they sent of them training each week. And, I like that the trainer checked in after they came home to see how they are getting along.

We brought our cat to stay for most of Thanksgiving holiday. An employee brought us back to show where she would be staying. Good price for cats. Friendly, patient employees, despite it being so busy before the holiday.

We've boarded Neville here 3 times. Twice for vacation. Once during a family emergency. It's comforting to know he's in a safe, secure place with caring people.

Elkhound Ranch is absolutely amazing! I have a large, reactive, dog and I fully trust this facility when I board her. The staff at Elkhound work closely with each dog to make sure they are playing well with each other. I trust my dog is safe in their hands! Elkhound ranch also provides grooming and they do a great job! Over the summer, I did a two week board and train for my dog here and I was so nervous at first to leave her but it ended up being an AMAZING experience. I would give this place 10 stars if I could!
