Jack Lelwica, the owner of Prairie Peak, began his dog training journey in 2010 with a $200 Craigslist ad online. In 2013, he and his wife Ashley Lelwica opened their first boarding and training location, Prairie Peak Kennels, now located and operating in Battle Lake, MN. Then, with the desire to help reach more dogs as Prairie Peak became successful, Fetchers was opened in 2018 to reach dog owners in the Fargo-Moorhead community. Prairie Peak has now welcomed more professional dog trainers to join the cause, building a dynamic and strong team to provide exceptional service. The Prairie Peak team members are committed to continuing their dog training knowledge and education all the time. We also host world-class trainers at our Fargo location for seminars, ensuring the entire team stays at the forefront of dog training by learning from the best in the field worldwide. We have applied our training approach to all dogs we encounter which have totaled to over 7,000 dogs. Times that by the years we have been in service and we have applied our core training principles to over 320,000 daily dog encounters where we have seen one successful encounter after another with every dog we engage with using our training skills and techniques. This is one of the main reasons why Prairie Peak is as successful as it is today. Our experience is vast and there is truly nothing we can't help with. Every dog is unique, so we create personalized plans that build trust and freedom, improving your dog's obedience and cooperation with you both on and off leash for you to enjoy. We’ve helped dogs with behaviors such as anxiety, aggression, reactivity, jumping, chewing, and more, using a balanced approach of positive and corrective reinforcement. Our dedicated team coaches you through every step, ensuring a smooth transition from us to you. We look forward to working with you and your dog!
