Our pup had her first grooming experience with Prairie Peak Kennels today and they were amazing! We are so thankful to find somewhere and someone to trust our pups too. Our pup also looks and smells amazing!

We started bringing our dog for daycare a couple times a week and we enjoy seeing pictures of her interacting and playing with other dogs! A great way for your dog to socialize with other dog friends!

Our Bo has been going to PPK since 2018 , he loves going has good experiences with the staff, loved the inground pool and now the new facilities were he spent that last week. They always send a video or pic midweek to let me know he is doing well. They are flexible if needed and have helped in a few family emergencies we have had.

I took my dog there for a full groom and she looked amazing when done. Would recommend them for your grooming needs.

I don’t know where to start. Lily and Jack are absolutely amazing. They worked with me like no other training facility. Would even think about I highly recommend them to anybody looking for any type of training my dog had a hard time listening and overall no obedience whatsoever. He would often bug my other dog to the point where my other dog didn’t want to be near him after coming home from the four week board and train. He is an absolutely totally different dog. They made sure to personalize his issues and updated us weekly on how he was doing. I’m so thankful that I found them and I will recommend them to everybody that’s looking for a board and train facility. Thank you guys so much for all your hard work.

My dog gets so excited when he knows he is going to Prairie Peak Kennels.

Great communication! Great staff! Great training! Exceptional experience! We had our dog do a 3 week training and the results were amazing! The staff took time to train us so we could have continued obedience with our dog when we went home! We left feeling more confident in our roles as leaders with our dog. Lilly and Jack took the time to talk with us a few times before we decided to do the 3 week program with our dog. When we picked up our dog Lilly spent an hour and a half working with us and teaching us how to do training obedience at home. She also assured us we could call with any questions once we got home. Developing a relationship with these trainers will be so helpful for us as dog owners! They see things in our dog and understand how their minds work a lot better than we do! Give them a call, you will not be disappointed!

We adopted our beautiful male corgi from here about a year ago. He's always praised for his wonderful temperament and he has fit in so well with our little animal family! The owners have always been responsive and helpful with our questions. I highly recommend a puppy from here!

June 2025 (Update) If I could leave a 100 star review I absolutely would. This January, we fell behind in our obedience with our two Corgis listed below. We were living in constant fear of a dog fight with a newborn at home. We were dreading the decision of potentially having to rehome one our our dogs. In desperation I texted Lily who has worked with our troublesome dogs before. She responded with in 10 minutes!! She told us to bring Nash in as soon as we could drive up there, the next day. When we dropped off Nash, we didn't know how long the training was going to take. Lily was determined to keep him as long as she needed before she felt comfortable with where he was at. During the next 6 weeks or so, Lily and her team worked and incorporated Muzzle training for our reactive dog and making him comfortable with this new tools and refresher of commands. She reassured us that muzzles actually make some dogs more comfortable and really just make everybody safe. She contacted us frequently with updates and actually called to extend his stay twice. She was working on any and all potential triggers that she could recreate at training and wanted to keep going. This shows truly how much she cares! (Not just shipping him out the door when it was close enough). She actually drove 8 hours to bring him back to our home and make sure he could re-acclimate. With the assumption that if something went wrong, she would bring BOTH our dogs back with her to continue training. Thankfully, this didn't need to happen, but SERIOUSLY that is how much she cares about her clients. During her visit to our home, She made us extremely comfortable with our new tools to make both of our dogs, and our family, safe again. Since January when this all went down, Lily has texted me multiple times to check and see if everything is going ok and if there is anything she can help with. The level of care (5 years after originally purchasing our dogs from them) is honestly remarkable and unheard of. Congratulations to the you all on the new location and your wonderful staff. We have referred as many people as we can for troublesome dogs to you all and will continue to do so. You are genuinely miracle workers and I eternally grateful for you all. ...... (March 2022)Original Post Beyond grateful for the extremely talented group of trainers @prairiepeak . Lily and Jack took Nash in 8 weeks ago after one of the hardest days of my life. Nash and Auggie needed some MAJOR obedience work. We had been struggling with our two dogs becoming aggressive and territorial in our home around food and me. In March I was home alone and needed to break up a fight between the two dogs and ended up in the ER getting 8 stitches in my hand. Thankfully, Jack was there for us and called me right away. Took Nash in the NEXT DAY for his 8 week master course and began working him immediately. At the 4 week mark, we brought Auggie up to join Nash in the efforts of removing the aggression toward each other. Through basic command and authority over the dogs the behavior in BOTH dogs is night and day from the moment we dropped them off. Through this process, my husband and I have learned that we needed training as well as to how to be the leaders of the pack. I encourage everybody who owns a dog to read "The Good Dog Way" by Sean O'Shea. As we realized that we were not being good leaders for our dogs who were desperate for leadership. We are so happy and excited that we get to start over with the boys and we have regained control and confidence in our dogs. The work is just starting for us and will always be a work in process. But we have been given the greatest gift of knowledge from the experts. I am forever grateful that the breeder that gave us our family, worked so hard to make it so our family can stay together. Thank you Prairie Peak. - The Woodward Family

Our dog, Sasha, is a one year old border collie/heeler mutt and is an energetic, excitable mess :) She was doing well with learning commands in our home but wouldn't listen consistently when we were outside or in new places. She also was terrorizing the cat. We had boarded her at Prairie Peak Kennels numerous times and she loves it because it's a high-activity kennel and she's a high-activity dog. We're normally not the type to drop thousands of dollars on our animals but we needed help because Sasha was starting to run our lives instead of vice versa. We enrolled her in their three week board and train; we were a little nervous that we wouldn't get our money's worth. We totally did! The trainers were awesome. They really wanted us and our dog to succeed and their mix of positive and negative reinforcement training really worked for Sasha. She is so happy and well adjusted. She does great in her kennel, she rarely barks for attention anymore, she comes back when called even with distractions, AND she can contain herself around the cat! She is more confident and more calm and we know exactly how to continue her training as well! I would highly recommend Prairie Peak Kennels! Please note: they use a ecollars and prong collars so if you're sensitive about that then this is not the place for you.

Great place for training and boarding! Staff is exceptional.

The staff here are wonderful! They we very accommodating when dropping my dog off, they did an intake of all the stuff I brought to make sure it made it home. During the week the staff sent me updates of how it was going, my puppy had plenty of outside time and other dog interaction. The prices were great and the facility was nice for winter and will be even better in the summer! As a tip I’d recommend bringing a dog bed or a dog cot for overnight stays. Very much would recommend!

We have an old fur baby who is very reactive but we wanted to add a new member to our pack. We rescued Gus at five months and wanted to ensure that he would not follow in our old man’s footsteps. We signed Gus up so he’d be able to go to Prairie Peak at 6 months. Jack and his team are so incredibly friendly, professional, up front about their training and the absolute best in execution. Not only did they help Gus gain confidence and understand obedience, they taught us how to continue our work with Gus. Gus has been home for a month now and is absolutely the best! This picture was two houses down from an aggressive dog who was trying to get to us. Gus allowed me to lead and showed no anxiety and I had the confidence to handle the situation. Our old man has also relaxed allowing Gus to bring the calm. I rave about Jack to all of my friends and will be sending any future fur babies to Prairie Peak!

Prairie Peak Kennels has an outstanding line of Brittany’s! I took Rip to South Dakota for the first time at 10 months old. He performed like a veteran dog. He has great tracking and pointing skills. He is going to be my best Britt to date! Thanks Prarie Pesk!!
