GAIN SIGNIFICANT AND LASTING PROGRESS WITH A BOARD AND TRAIN SERVICE

During Board and Train programs your dog will be at Prairie Peak continually, working with our Professional Dog Trainer in a structured environment on the training goals that were discussed. Your dog will be fully immersed into a structured lifestyle before, during and after each session. Obedience is our way of life and your pup will live it! This enables dogs to start to speak the language of obedience much faster, easier, and more efficiently. Each week dogs show exponential progress from the week past ultimately up to pickup day. On pickup day we will show you what we have done, how we have done it, and give you the leash to begin leading your dog effectively and enjoying their obedience like you've always wanted.

Will you miss your pup? Visits are available by request!
