About this location
No Leash Needed – Kirkwood is a dog training facility in Kirkwood, one of No Leash Needed's locations in the metro. Training leans on balanced training: reward-based, positive reinforcement comes first, may also use marker training, luring, the place command, and tools including prong collars and techniques adapted to each dog rather than one method for all.
Programs start with a free in-person evaluation to meet you and your dog. Pricing: not published online; programs are scoped after a free evaluation.
