Has your dog completed a board and train program or a one-on-one program with us at Prairie Preak? This program is designed for your dog to get in some extra training for the day to sharpen up some known skills, curve some new unwanted behaviors, and have a productive day for your dog. You can leave your dog with experienced trainers to help keep their basic obedience to keep their mind sharp and build off of their already built foundation of obedience.

If your dog has completed a different board and train program from a different facility, or has any aggression behaviors, please set up a Meet and Greet with a trainer to determine the best options for your dog.
