Professional Experience

At Fantastic Fido’s, we offer a variety of training for dogs. We have private training, training packages, obedience classes, doggie day school, and Saturday socials. To learn more about our training options see the list below or give us a call at 816-364-0988, or view our upcoming class schedule.

Whiz Kid

Our 12-14 day program offers personalized training where your dog stays with us and one of our professional trainers overnight. The program focuses on crate training, potty training, leash manners, and social skills, while also addressing any specific behavioral issues your dog may have. At the end of the program, we provide a detailed consultation during pick-up, followed by three scheduled follow-up sessions over the next 3-4 weeks to ensure continued progress.

Week Away

Our 7-Day Program is designed to provide a focused, intensive foundation for your dog. During their stay with us, we work on essential skills such as leash walking, overall behavior and place command. We also address important areas like scheduling and crate training. At the end of the program, we provide a consultation to review your dog’s progress and offer guidance on maintaining these behaviors at home. The program includes a consultation at pick-up and three follow-up days, giving your dog ample opportunity to continue developing in a supportive environment.

12 Day Turnaround

Our 12 – 14 Day Turnaround is a customized program geared towards adolescent & adult dogs who may be struggling with fear, under socialization, various forms of aggression or other issues. This program focuses on proper socialization, exposure to different environments, leash manners, crate training & identifying behavior issues. Our programs are built to develop a well behaved, responsible dog who knows how to make good decisions & who are focused on their pack. The outstanding characteristic of this, & all Fantastic Fido’s programs, are that we work closely with owners to insure success in the home as we know that the long term success of the dog depends on owners who are committed. Consultation at pick up and four follow-up days. This also includes free Saturday Socials for one year.

21 Day Turnaround

Our 21-Day Turnaround (DTA) program is a customized solution for adolescent and adult dogs facing issues like fear, under-socialization, aggression, or other behavioral challenges. While it covers the same areas as our 12-14 Day Turnaround—such as proper socialization, exposure to different environments, leash manners, crate training, and identifying behavior issues—the extended timeframe allows us more time to work with your dog, ensuring even more consistent progress. Our goal is to develop a well-behaved, responsible dog who makes good decisions. We work closely with owners to ensure long-term success at home, knowing that committed owners are key to lasting results. The program includes a consultation at pick-up, four follow-up days, and one year of free Saturday Socials, giving your dog ample opportunity to continue developing in a supportive environment.

Doggie Day School

Doggie Day School is a 6-week program where your dog comes to our facility to learn proper socialization skills, loose leash walking, sit/stay, sitting on place, and basic retrieval. This program runs two days per week on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursdays. Owners participate in group lessons throughout the program to learn exactly what their dog has learned and to gain the skills necessary to continue reinforcing those behaviors at home. These classes ensure that owners are fully equipped to support their dog’s progress and maintain consistency in the home environment, setting both dog and owner up for long-term success.

Obedience Class

The 6-week Obedience Class is designed to teach not only essential commands like sit, stay, and come but also to address and improve overall behavior. Through consistent training and practical exercises, your dog will learn to focus, follow commands, and manage unwanted behaviors, leading to a more well-rounded and obedient companion. This class helps strengthen your bond while providing the tools for long-term success in everyday situations. This class also offers one free day of doggie daycare and upon completion, a discount for follow on training.

Maintenance Training Program

This monthly program helps to keep your dog polished and keep you accountable for training your dog. The dog spends a day in our facility “brushing up” on skills and can even learn new skills with one-on-one training. It is offered two or four times a month.   Owners receive a report card and video by email at the end of the day outlining progress, providing feedback, and suggesting homework. This program is a great value and an excellent way to keep your dog’s mind working!

Saturday Socials

At Fantastic Fido’s, we believe in giving dogs the opportunity to learn essential skills while exploring the community. That’s why we offer Saturday Socials every week, where we hold classes for the owner and dog(s) at various locations around Saint Joseph. These outings are packed with fun activities like agility, pack walks, and practicing good dog citizenship. We also mix in some trick training for added fun! It’s a great way for dogs to socialize, stay engaged, and build confidence. For the latest updates on our Saturday Socials, be sure to check out our Facebook page.

The Fantastic Fido’s team is eager to hear from you and can help arrange the services and care that your pets deserve.
