Training for dogs with room to roam and a lot to chase
Rogersville sits on the east side of the Springfield metro, and owners here choose between weekly private lessons and an immersive board and train. Dogs who struggle around other dogs or people have their own behavior program.
Built for how Rogersville dogs actually live
Rogersville spans Greene and Webster counties at the eastern edge of the Springfield metro, and US Highway 60 has run through town since it was paved in 1932. That puts it within the area we cover, whether you choose lessons or drop your dog off for board and train.
The town grew up around the Kansas City and Memphis Railroad depot that arrived in 1882, and it is named for Isaac Rogers, the young physician who helped pay to lay out its lots and streets. Today it is home to the Logan-Rogersville School District, and a mix of in-town streets and open country is the setting a Rogersville dog has to be reliable in.
Reliable means the command works the first time, outdoors, even when a deer, a bike or another dog appears. That is why we train in unfamiliar places with distractions rather than in your living room, and why off-leash work belongs to the two week board and train rather than to a lesson package.
What your dog learns with us in Rogersville
The core commands
Come, sit, place, down, heel and off. The same six commands sit at the base of every Off Leash K9 package, whether you train in lessons or send your dog for board and train.
Loose-leash walking
The fourth basic obedience lesson is loose-leash walking, so your dog walks beside you instead of towing you down the sidewalk. A 15 ft training leash is included with the package.
Off-leash reliability
Built through the two week board and train, where your dog works off leash, outdoors, with real distractions in play. It is a board and train outcome, not something lessons alone deliver.
Manners that hold up in public
Door, greeting and meal manners, plus socialization around people and other dogs and high-level distraction proofing, all covered in the two week board and train.
Daily updates, then a full handover
Your trainer sends daily updates with a photo or video while your dog is with them, and finishes with a two hour one-on-one session showing you how to handle everything your dog has learned.

What Southwest Missouri dog owners say
“I was apprehensive to be away from Maggie for two weeks, but was instantly reassured as soon as I met Kasey. Maggie instantly took to her and I appreciated her calm presence. I got updates and videos every evening that tracked her progress. It is amazing to me the difference in Maggie after training with Kasey. Our problem areas are no longer problems, and I enjoy so much more taking my buddy with me wherever I go.…”
“McKenzie took Lily, our 11 month old bernedoodle and helped her become a super member of our house! McKenzie is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator! I think that the hardest part about being a dog trainer is being a human trainer and McKenzie excels at this.…”
“This place is absolutely amazing!! I can’t thank Kasey enough for what she did for our family. We did the 2-week training and boarding program for our big boy and we saw instant results. She spent so much time with us when picking him up to go over everything! I’m beyond happy.…”
Dog training in Rogersville, answered
Do you train dogs in Rogersville, MO?
Yes. Rogersville is inside the area Off Leash K9 Training Southwest Missouri covers. We are not a walk-in storefront, so your trainer confirms the training location with you when you book. One thing worth knowing up front: we generally do not train dogs inside your house. It is easy for a dog to listen at home, and a dog that only listens at home has not really learned the command. Training in an unfamiliar place, with distractions, is what makes obedience hold up anywhere.
How does board and train work if I live in Rogersville?
You drop your dog off and pick them up, which is the part most Rogersville owners ask about first. For the one and two week programs your dog lives and trains at the trainer's home for the whole stay, not in a kennel run. You get daily updates with a photo or video of the work, and at the end you sit down for a two hour one-on-one session where your trainer shows you exactly how to handle everything your dog has learned so it holds up once you are home.
How much does dog training cost in Rogersville?
Obedience lessons start at $750 for the four-lesson basic package and $1,100 for the eight-lesson basic and advanced package. Board and train runs $1,950 for one week, $3,150 for two weeks, and $4,150 for the behavior modification program. Every price is listed on the plans and pricing page. Payment plans are available. Call us today to learn more about payment options. Those prices are the same wherever you drive in from, including Rogersville.
How old does my puppy have to be before training starts?
We do not start e-collar training until a dog is at least five months old, and that is our own stated rule on the FAQ page, not a rough guide. If your puppy is younger than that, Basic Marker Mastery is the right starting point: four reward-based sessions using a clicker and marker work to build come, sit, place and loose-leash walking. There is also a 10-Day Pawsitive Foundation Puppy Board and Train for puppies between twelve and twenty-four weeks. Families in Rogersville usually start there and move up once the puppy is old enough.
My dog is reactive toward other dogs or people. Can you help?
Yes. The Behavior Modification Board and Train is built for dogs struggling with dog-on-dog aggression, dog-on-human aggression, or both. It is three weeks of board and train plus three one-hour sessions with you, and it includes muzzle training instruction. Your dog needs to be muzzle trained before the board and train starts, and the muzzle itself is bought separately to fit your dog.
