About Us

Your Family is Our Family

Hi, we're Kevin and Heidi! We pride ourselves on living a harmonious, animal-filled life. We implement our shared passion for animals into everything we do.


Even our kids and dogs (Bollah and Daisy, seen here) like helping us train! That means everyone in the house plays an important role. While they're with us, your dog becomes part of our pack.

20+ Years of Experience

Between the two of us, we share more than 20 years of experience training dogs. What started with a love of animals turned into a dream career.

Our Story

The Perfect Match

We met when Heidi began an apprenticeship with Kevin. We then worked together at a large-volume kennel where we trained hundreds of dogs each year. Now, we implement our shared passion for animals into our everyday family life. 

Animal-First Training

We decided to venture out on our own in April 2020. We started More Dog Than Human to provide a family-oriented, small-batch dog training experience in the Kansas City community.


We value each and every dog we train and love to see them grow, which is where we got our name.

We thrive on building confidence in dogs and their humans, and we can't wait to help you!

Our Style

We believe in a full-spectrum, balanced approach to training so you get long-lasting results. We use positive reinforcement with patience and repetition (not treats) to gain the trust and respect of the dog.


Our number one priority is the safety and health of your pup. We train in small batches so we can spend more time getting to know your dog and focus on their mental and physical health. 

Our Facilities

We love having the dogs in our home where we can truly give them the most care and attention possible! We have eight acres designed specifically for dog training, both on- and off-leash, that includes group and solo play yards.


We prioritize health and safety above everything else. We have a double gate, both inside and outside, so we never have to worry about a dog getting loose. All time spent with other dogs, and in the play yards, is supervised.
