“Our 10 month Golden Retriever, “Naughty Charlie” spent two weeks with Prairie Peak Kennels and came back not-so-naughty! Jack taught him how to quit jumping on people…and to stop biting their arms and clothes with excitement when he saw them! Also, we are thrilled that he actually COMES now when he’s called, which he never did before! Our favorite command though is “Back” which brings Charlie right back when he is wondering off and about to get into trouble…works like a charm! Jack also listened well to our challenges and has been excellent with follow-up since we brought Charlie back home. We would highly recommend Prairie Peak Kennels to anyone who has their own naughty dog!”

“He’s doing good we’ve had 5 customers in our store and Nooo Jumping! We tell him to sit and he stays until I say ok! Amazzzzing day today!! No shocks and a few beeps on collar! Comes when we say his name and Back, Went to the park today and there were kids everywhere so I said Back and he was by my side in 2 seconds! Just wanted to say thank you so very much!”

“No accidents! She is allowed thru the entire house and we let her have free time for 40 min now! She is doing great thank you! So nice to be able to enjoy her! She is a very smart little girl”

“I cannot believe what you have done for Piper and us in two weeks. She is so much better behaved!! I am still wondering if I picked up the right dog! My wife and I cannot be more thrilled with her behavior!!”

“Did you spray paint another dog and give him to us?!? Cooper is perfect! We left him alone a few times and when we came back, he didn’t even try to jump on us once! Awesome job!!!”

“Francis just told me that the neighbor had his two dogs out…Harvey would normally take off, BUT NOT TODAY! Yay Harvey! He heard the dogs, walked a few feet towards them, stopped and looked back at Francis, then walked back and continued playing “ball”. HUGE IMPROVEMENT! Thank you sooooooo much Jack and Ashley!

“We are very pleased with the results. Greta was better behaved and has responded very well to the training. We liked that she got to stay in a country home setting and not in a kennel the whole two weeks.”

“There was a noticeable, positive difference in Remy’s behavior after getting obedience training with Prairie Peak Kennels. Jack was enthusiastic and seeing that enthusiasm is what made me decide on him as a trainer.”

“I have had Jack work with my Brittany on two occasions. Jack is very interested in training to your style. Working in commands that you want, making suggestions of others. His property in Parker’s Prairie is a beautiful spot and allows him to put the dogs in very good training situations. I cannot wait to hunt her this fall.”

“When John & I left Dixie, we both felt a lot of anxiety over leaving her with someone we’d never met before, but the attention and manner with which Jack & his wife behaved with Dixie was very comforting. I would recommend their services to anyone in an instant. Jack’s personalized attention to the pet seems to be quite unusual in this field of work.”

“Had 6 dogs sitting in a semi circle around me, some shake some don’t, but they all have to sit nicely. It went the best its ever gone. Gus is calmer than ever now and he seems more content in general. When he comes for pets he casually walks over sits and cocks his head at me. Loving this calm boy!!! Thanks for inspiring me and getting my pups on the right track!!”

“Very good! We only had to shock once when we got home. We beeped for a couple days after that. We keep it on, but now all she needs is the command and she races back. Very happy!!! I did beep her when she was playing with her other dog friends too… Called her back and she would come right away. Say “ok” and she would go back to play for many rounds. Can’t believe how quickly she learned. Shows me she knew exactly what I wanted, she just chose not to listen.”

“Hey Guys this is Tyler with Oakley… He has been doing an amazing job retrieving ducks these past two weekends! Oakley is doing amazing ! You guys rock !”

“Took the girls on their first off leash walk today. They stayed right by me, once Emma ran over a hill and I couldn’t see her, pushed the beep and she came running, Jack u are amazing, thanks for making my girls so well behaved and a pleasure to have around. I’m so happy”

“Jack, Sammy did AMAZING in North Dakota on her first pheasant hunt! She flushed and quartered like a seasoned veteran. The commands you taught her made hunting with her a real pleasure. I am so proud of her. Everyone was impressed with how well Sammy listened to commands while we were hunting and even b ack at camp. By the end of the trip she was even retrieving birds. Thank you again for your hard work!”

“I talked to Holly today, or should I say she grabbed me so she could tell me how impressed she was with you and the session with Molly and also her friend’s pittie you worked with. I told her Bella is also different dog in an awesome way too. Glad you are able to help so many people’s dogs have a better0 life with their families.”

“He’s doing pretty good! We haven’t had a problem with collar sensitivity anymore. He hasn’t been jumping and he’s been really good around the kids. We’re still working on the biting occasionally. His listening skills are better. He was around Cole’s parents’ dog the other day and did really well with her. He really is a lot better. Thanks again.”

“She is doing great. In the last month she crossed off our yard once and came right back with a correction. Otherwise the kids took her to the park to play fetch in the baseball diamond when it was still warm out and she listened well. Thank you for all that you did.”

“Hunted this morning. Did what you said. After I shot a bird, Sat on the ground and called milo. He brought the bird right to me. I let him keep the bird and praised him. After a minute. He dropped the bird and went off to find another. Retrieved 2 more birds the same way. Thanks jack for all your help!”

“Everything is going well and we are all exhausted haha. She is doing well. She has been listening very well and we are very impressed with our new dog!”

“Thank you, Jack! This email will definitely be one I reference over and over again for months to come. I so appreciate you taking the time to send it. I will absolutely spread the word – you’ve done a great job. We can tell a definite difference in Kobe already in just a few short days. As I read through it, there are definitely things Reed and I need to adjust and improve on to continue Kobe’s success!” “I just have to share that this would have never happened before training! (Picture of Kobe and their 2 yr old daughter walking him) Walking with both kobe and our 2 year old was a disaster every time. We’ve been able to go on walks every day together and we haven’t come back frustrated at all yet! “Has the nipping improved?” There has been no nipping! We slacked a little over the busy few Christmas days and I noticed the first day we were back home we were seeing some old dominant tendencies (sneezing at us, pawing for attention, etc) so we cracked back down and he’s responded well!”

“She has really become a fun, friendly, well behaved addition to our family (even the mailman and the UPS drivers comment on her improved behavior). We can go for walks without the leash, she comes when called and she listens. Thank you for your help and training with her. Thank you for also being there when I was at my wits end.”

“Thanks Jack. This is an awesome reminder! We love the work you have provided for Toro. My mom was about ready for her to go, but now calls her the new Toro! I’ll be sure to get in touch with you if there’s any issues or questions that come up. Thanks again for everything!”

“It’s going well! She has matured quite a bit in 3 weeks. Much better discipline. Thank You.”

“He’s doing real good – no problems with jumping or disobeying last night. I ran him, played fetch this morning and he’s obeyed all commands. Thanks again for working with him – he is truly like a changed dog when it comes to obedience. I’ll keep you updated with any questions that come up too, I really appreciate it. You really did a good job working with him – he’s like a brand new dog!”

“Hi Jack, Just wanted to send another note to tell you how happy we are with Pistol. She is still amazingly disciplined even with the kids and wife not being as rigid as I am with her for all these months. We absolutely love her so much more now. She has literally not seen a leash since we picked her up from you. Which is amazing considering what she was like before. Thanks again.”

“Hey Jack! She is definitely doing better and adjusting well. Sleeping is better – out of our room and 8 hours. Desensitizing is much better. And walking is improving. We have had a few busy weeks, but are planning to call you for an appointment again in the next 1-2 weeks.”

“Hello! I haven’t talked to you in a few days so I thought I would give you an update! Hudson is doing fantastic. We took him around our block and he listened perfectly! He’s doing really well! He’s gained weight and his anxiety level is pretty much zero!”

“Hey Jack- Wanted to wish y’all a happy holidays and let you know Jaxon made his first trip hunting and everyone in the hunting party was amazed. He is doing fantastic and absolutely loves it! He’s such a great dog and you really did an amazing job with him! Thanks again, look forward to adding to our furry family in the future!”

“Hello! Our house is so relaxed now! Hes so obedient and just so sweet!! Just cant believe it! Your probably going to get tired if me texting you! Its just that this training has made such a positive impact in our lives!!” A few weeks later… “We had our 4 yr cocker trained at Prairie Peak Kennels. He’s a totally different dog he now listens and minds us. Jack also trained our family how to handle him. Our dog is very hyper and pretty much ran the house. Now we have control! Its awesome! Thank you Jack!”

“She is much more respectful. Thanks again for coming out greatly appreciated and you had some awesome advice!!!”

“Buster is exceeding expectations as a dog able to chill! Bonding with him is no problem and Deacon has also come around! Thanks Jack -Deb F. with her newly adopted Small Munsterlander, Buster “He’s doing great, comes when I call him, he’s a changed puppy. It’s nice when we let him out and he stays close even on a walk with no leash! U did a great job!” -James S. with his Beagle, Copper “She is doing well. We go on walks every night and she responds well when we call her back and when we let her out to go potty she comes back well too.”

“Had a great day with Lotte today, Going much better.” A few weeks later… “Update. Lotte doing great. She got a rabbit on her own last week and is pointing birds. Thanks”

“Dog camp was great for our dog, Sunny. She is doing much better with commands and has been a lot more mild mannered. A beautiful, clean place to bring your favorite furry friend. We will be back for boarding!”

“As predicted the fangs came out this morning as Darwin was leaving. Stopped the lunge with my hands and a firm NO. Then the ankle biting started. I crouched down and gave 3 firm pushes with a verbal NO. On the 4th lunge, I used the remote and he stopped. He has been near my ankles since and no mouthing. Thanks for the help!”

“He’s doing great! Like we were never separated. And he is behaving very well! Thank you!” -April Z. after boarding & Training her African breed dog, Koko, here for a 9 month stay.
