Overwhelmed with your dog?
Our 4-Week Day Train Program installs the structure your dog has been missing while teaching you how to maintain it at home.
Limited to 4 dogs per month in Junction City, KS.
We can’t move in with you…but we can get close
You’ve read the books.
You’ve watched the TikToks.
You’ve taken the group classes.
Maybe you’ve even done private lessons.
And your dog?
Perfect with the trainer.
At home?
Not so much.
You’ve joked with the trainer before…
“Can you just move in with us?”
We might not be able to move in.
But this is the closest thing.

A structured dog training program that actually works
This was built for you.
You’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly managing your dog.
You’re tired of apologizing for the barking, the jumping, the pulling, or the chaos when people come over.
You’re tired of cleaning up accidents in the house or wondering why your dog still hasn’t figured out the routine.
You’re tired of freezing outside waiting for your dog to finally go to the bathroom.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve watched the videos.
You’ve tried to do everything right.
And somewhere along the way you started wondering…
“Am I doing this wrong?”
“Did I mess something up?”
“Should I have even gotten a dog in the first place?”
You love your dog.
But right now it feels like you’re constantly reacting instead of actually enjoying them.
And that’s exactly why this program exists.
What Makes Our Dog Training Program Different
Most board and train programs in Kansas require you to leave your dog for weeks at a time.
We don’t.
Your dog comes to our Junction City dog training facility
3 days per week
For 4 weeks
And goes home every night.
You stay bonded.
Your dog stays connected to your home.
We are certified professional dog trainers serving the Flint Hills area.
We follow a strict code of ethics.
No abuse. No intimidation. No aversive methods.
We are pet first aid certified.
And we only accept 4 dogs per month.
Small groups mean:
Less overstimulation
More one-on-one puppy training
Better results
Here’s how dog training day training works:
It’s structured dog training built around rhythm, routine, and calm behavior.
That’s how lasting behavior change happens.
How Our Day Train Dog Training Works
For four weeks:
You drop your dog off in the morning.
You pick them up in the evening.
During each training day, your dog receives:
✔ A minimum of 1 hour of 1:1 professional dog training
✔ Crate training and relaxation work
✔ Potty training reinforcement
✔ Loose leash walking training
✔ Impulse control training
✔ Recall foundations
✔ Place and duration work
✔ Structured socialization
✔ Mental enrichment
✔ Physical exercise balanced with rest
What Does This Actually Mean for You?
All the dog trainer words like place, recall, impulse control, and foundation skills are great…
But what does that actually look like in real life?
It means:
✨ Your dog waits instead of launching out the door when you open it.
✨ It means you can walk down the street without being dragged or apologizing to every person you pass.
✨ It means your dog can settle on a bed while you cook dinner instead of pacing the kitchen looking for trouble.
✨ It means fewer accidents in the house because your dog finally understands the routine.
✨ It means your dog can relax in their crate instead of screaming the second the door closes.
✨ It means you can have friends over without worrying about chaos and embarrassment.
And most importantly…
It means you stop feeling like you're constantly doing something wrong.
Because instead of guessing what your dog needs, you finally have a structure that makes sense for both of you.
REAL STRUCTURE. REAL REPETITIONS. REAL RESULTS.
What your dog gets every single training day:
Your dog isn’t just playing.
They receive:
A minimum of 1 hour of 1:1 professional dog training (broken into focused sessions)
Structured crate training and calm conditioning
Potty training reinforcement
Leash skills and impulse control practice
Balanced physical exercise and mental enrichment
Intentional rest periods (because overstimulation creates chaos)
This is dog training in Junction City, KS built around rhythm, routine, and nervous system regulation — not nonstop chaos.
YOU DON’T GET LEFT OUT OF THE PROCESS
Most traditional board and train programs remove your dog from your life for weeks, “fix” behaviors in a highly controlled environment, and then hand them back to you with no instructions
The problem?
Dogs don’t struggle in training facilities.
They struggle in your real life.
That’s why our Day Train Program works differently.
✔️ Your dog goes home every day, so skills are practiced in the environments that actually matter
✔️ You are coached alongside your dog, not left out of the process
✔️ Every week you receive a private transfer session where we show you exactly what your dog learned
✔️ You get lifetime access to our proprietary online coaching program, Canine Revolution

Your dog’s emotional and physical safety comes first. Always.
Real Results from Real Dog Owners
“We’ve been taking Raven to training since summertime last year, and we’ve progressed leaps and bounds in training. Emily is very patient, and always kind when answering the millions of questions I ask her. She’s extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior, and has been able to guide us in the right direction for service dog training. We’re looking forward to starting task training soon, and have had a blast titling Raven in STAR, Trick dog, Fit Dog, and CGC, and we’re hoping to add many more titles to the list! If you’re looking for training, she’s definitely the trainer to go to.”
Rosemary W.
“I’ve done some group classes with Emily and it’s been pretty life changing for us. Emily makes training fun and something to look forward to so I’m super happy to have this group as a resource!”
Takara H.
“I highly recommend Common Scents Training. We approached Emily due to our dog’s reactive issues. Emily’s approach is straightforward and non-judgmental. Her training instructions were easy to understand and put into practice. She has a deep understanding of dog behavior and has helped us understand our dog better. I only wish we had approached her sooner.”

Frequently asked questions
-
Yes! Because getting help for your dog shouldn’t feel financially impossible.
We offer flexible payment options for qualifying programs so you can start training now instead of waiting “until things calm down.”
Behavioral issues rarely fix themselves, and often get more expensive (emotionally and financially) the longer they’re ignored.
If you’d like to discuss payment options, just ask. We’ll walk you through what’s available.
-
Your dog’s day is structured, intentional, and productive. Not chaotic playtime or daycare-style free-for-all.
Each Day Train session includes:
✔️ Structured obedience work (place, leash skills, engagement, impulse control)
✔️ Real-world exposure and socialization (when appropriate)
✔️ Confidence-building exercises
✔️ Physical Exercise
✔️ Calmness training and nervous system regulation
✔️ Rest periods (because learning requires decompression)
We rotate between focused training sessions and structured rest so your dog can actually absorb what they’re learning. Overstimulated dogs don’t learn well — regulated dogs do.
At pickup, you’ll receive updates on what we worked on and what to practice at home so progress continues outside of training hours.
This is not daycare. This is education.
I do not use any techniques that are considered abuse and believe in LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive).
-
Safety is non-negotiable.
Dogs are:Carefully evaluated before acceptance into the program
Structured and supervised at all times
Never placed in chaotic, unsupervised group settings
Only introduced to other dogs when it supports their training goals
Dogs who are reactive, fearful, or working through behavioral challenges are managed intentionally and never forced into situations they’re not ready for.
We prioritize:
Controlled environments
Proper leash handling
Structured crate or rest time
Slow, appropriate exposure
Your dog’s emotional safety matters just as much as their physical safety.

Most traditional board and train programs remove your dog from your life for weeks, “fix” behaviors in a highly controlled environment, and then hand them back to you with a list of instructions.
The problem?
Dogs don’t struggle in training facilities.
They struggle in your real life.Our Day Train program is different because:
✔️ Your dog goes home daily, so skills are built in real-world environments
✔️ You are coached alongside your dog, not left out of the process
✔️ We focus on emotional regulation, not just obedience
✔️ We build transferable skills, not facility-specific compliance
✔️ We prioritize long-term behavior change, not short-term suppression
Many board and train programs rely heavily on fast results using aversive tools or high levels of control. That can create obedience, but it doesn’t always create confidence or understanding.
We follow science-based methods, the CCPDT Humane Hierarchy, and a strict Code of Ethics. That means we focus on:
Why the behavior is happening
How your dog feels
And how to create lasting change in the environments that actually matter
This isn’t a “send your dog away and hope for the best” model.
It’s education.
For your dog and for you.Because sustainable results happen when the whole household understands the process.Item description
-
We use science-based, relationship-centered training methods that focus on how dogs actually learn, not outdated dominance theory or quick-fix suppression techniques.
I am certified through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and follow their Humane Hierarchy and Code of Ethics. That means your dog’s emotional wellbeing, physical safety, and least intrusive effective interventions are always prioritized.
Our approach is rooted in:
✔️ Positive reinforcement
✔️ Marker training (clicker or verbal markers)
✔️ Desensitization and counter-conditioning
✔️ Confidence-building exercises
✔️ Structured leadership and clear communication
✔️ Nervous system regulation
The CCPDT Humane Hierarchy ensures we:
Address medical or environmental factors first
Modify antecedents (the environment and triggers)
Reinforce desired behaviors
We do not use fear, intimidation, or pain-based/aversive methods.
-
Yup! We’ve included video explanations, demonstrations, PDFs, and class recordings of each concept so that the material is presented in the way that works best for you and your learning style
-
For everyone’s safety, dogs must be current on:
Rabies
Distemper/Parvo (DHPP)
Bordetella
Proof of vaccination from your veterinarian is required before your dog’s first day.
If you have questions about vaccine schedules or titers, we’re happy to discuss, just reach out before enrollment.
