Your Personal Dog Training Coach in Kansas City, Missouri and Surrounding Areas
Coaching That Teaches You to Lead — Not Just Command
At Earls K9 Services, the goal is not just to have a trained dog — it’s to become the kind of leader your dog trusts and respects. That’s why Earl Newland, known as The Original Kansas City Dog Whisperer, offers dog training coaching — a model that puts the focus where it matters most: on you, the owner.
Traditional training often relies on quick obedience commands or taking the dog away for board-and-train sessions. Earl’s method is different. He believes that lasting change only happens when the owner is involved, educated, and supported.
Coaching isn’t about memorizing commands. It’s about understanding behavior, energy, structure, and communication.

If you’re frustrated, overwhelmed, or feel like your dog isn’t listening — this page is for you.
What Is a Dog Training Coach?
A dog training coach doesn’t train your dog. A coach trains you to work with your dog effectively. It’s a partnership focused on human growth, because that’s where transformation begins.
Earl helps dog owners in Kansas City, Missouri and surrounding areas.
- Understand how dogs perceive leadership
- Create structure and rules that promote calm behavior
- Correct bad habits without frustration
- Build confidence when handling difficult situations
- Stay consistent with training beyond the session
This coaching model is ideal for those who want
more than a short-term fix. It builds a real foundation between you and your dog — one based on trust, direction, and shared progress.
Who Is Dog Training Coaching For?
Earl’s coaching is designed for dog owners who are ready to take responsibility and make real change. You don’t need experience — you just need to be open to learning.
Common coaching clients include:
- First-time dog owners unsure where to start
- Families managing high-energy or dominant dogs
- Owners who’ve “tried everything” and seen no progress
- People who want structure, not just obedience tricks
- Individuals who want to
lead with calm confidence
If you’re looking for someone to do the work
for you, this is not the right service. But if you want to be coached, taught, and supported every step of the way — Earl can help.
What You’ll Learn with Earl’s Coaching
Earl’s approach is built on education, observation, and real-time demonstration. Sessions are structured around your environment, your challenges, and your goals.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create rules and boundaries your dog actually respects
- Use body language and energy to lead, not bribe
- Redirect unwanted behavior calmly and clearly
- Develop better leash control and in-home behavior
- Stay calm under pressure when your dog reacts
These are
lifelong skills that empower you to lead any dog — not just the one you have today.
What a Coaching Session Looks Like
Every coaching session is a hands-on experience with direct feedback and guidance.
Here’s what to expect:
- Initial discussion about your goals, history, and daily routines
- Observation of your dog’s behavior in your natural environment
- Demonstration from Earl showing how to correct or manage behaviors
- Practice time where you apply the techniques while receiving real-time feedback
- Q&A and strategy planning for your next steps
Earl also offers ongoing support via phone or email between sessions, so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
Why Coaching Works Better Than Traditional Training
You’ll leave with new skills, a new understanding of your dog, and a clear plan for what comes next.
Every session with Earl follows a proven structure:
It’s Not About Tricks
Sit, stay, and down are tools — but they don’t fix fear, reactivity, or lack of trust. Coaching focuses on
behavior and mindset, not just mechanics.
It Builds Leadership
Dogs naturally follow calm, consistent leaders. Coaching teaches you to become that person, even when things get difficult.
It’s Personalized to Your Life
Group classes and generic advice don’t account for your home, your dog’s history, or your lifestyle. Coaching does.
You Gain Long-Term Skills
The goal isn’t to become dependent on a trainer. It’s to become
independent and effective.
Real Results from Real Dog Owners
Earl was extremely helpful!!! He gave us great suggestions for preparing our dog, Burty, for her upcoming move to Colorado. He was very positive and didn’t make us feel guilty as if we had done something wrong with her training.

Earl really is the dog whisperer! I adopted a 7-year-old dog from a shelter who is incredibly sweet to all people but does not love other dogs. She showed aggression to my parents' dog which really upset me and made me nervous. Earl came to my house to meet my dog and gave me detailed instructions on how to introduce adult dogs. His instructions have been unbelievably helpful and now my dog is able to go on walks with my parents' dog without the tiniest bit of aggression. I am so grateful to Earl for his initial help as well as his continued help throughout the last several weeks in turning my dog into a truly great companion.

FAQs About Dog Owner Coaching
Can I do coaching if my dog is aggressive?
Yes. Coaching is often the best approach because aggression usually stems from confusion or fear — both of which can be addressed through owner leadership.
What if I already had other trainers?
Earl frequently works with clients who’ve tried obedience training without results. Coaching often provides the
missing link: clarity for the owner.
How long before I see change?
Most owners feel more confident and in control after the
first session. The key is applying the methods consistently afterward.
