Training
We have been training dogs since 2010. We understand dogs and their behaviors. When dogs are obedient and owners are effective leaders, the best relationship is attainable. We love seeing how strong a bond can be when both dog and owner live in harmony.

By appointment:
Picture of the e collar should be removed and the page layout should be the mission statement, then reviews scroll, then the 1 hr and training stay options. Then please organize the 1 hr training option and the training stay so they are all easy to ready an understand. It took me a while to find where you had the $525/week pricing. Perhaps lay it out not in columns but rows starting with the 1 hr, then the 2 week gen ob, then the other ones in that order.

We recommend this training session if you want us to do most of the work for you. Dogs must be about six months old at the time of drop off. We will have a phone consultation about your training needs prior to scheduling a training stay. Your dog will stay for either two or three weeks depending on what kind of training is needed. When you pick your dog up at the end of the stay, we will spend up to an hour going over everything your dog has learned during the stay and how to continue to implement these adjustments at home. This ensures a proper transition from our home to yours. We are available free of charge for the rest of your dog’s life to help in any way over the phone or via email. If there is a specific issue that comes up, or if you are struggling with a specific command, let us know and we will help you get back on track.
Our Training Stays are completely customizable to your situation. They are structured to incorporate both exercise and playtime. Your pup will live with us and get an intimate family experience with the other members of our family including our personal pets and the other dogs being boarded at our facility.

We learned so much about dog behavior in our training session with Jack. He had our dog listening to him in less than 5 min. We tried other trainers with little results. A great resource for us. We would 100% recommend Prairie Peak and plan to buy our next dog from him! You can tell he is very passionate about the dogs well being and educating the owners. We are SO thankful for his help! I wish we would have come to him for help with our dog first! He has a great approach/philosophy to dog/owner training!
