TRAINING
At Prairie Peak Kennels we provide a complete package of services to grow and peak the relationship between dog and owner by providing dogs with great obedience which results in more freedom on and off leash while educating owners on how to build trust in this freedom to benefit the owner and dogs quality of life. We have been training dogs since 2010 and love to hear from our dog owners the differences they see in their dogs behavior after a training session or stay. Testimonials are at the bottom of this page! Our Prairie Peak family tag teams the training efforts to maximize the amount of sessions per day and to offer both a male and female perspective. At Prairie Peak, we train young and old dogs alike on general obedience, aggression, anxiety, jumping up, running off, potty training problems, hunting skills, and more! We use a balanced approach of both positive and negative reinforcement with repetition and well placed patience to achieve this patterned successful behavior. This ensures a smooth transition from our home to yours. We look forward to serving you and your dog!

PROGRAMS
MEET AND GREET
Pricing: $30We recommend a Meet and Greet before all of our training programs. This 30 minute session will allow you to meet the trainer and decide which training option is best for you and your dog.
1 HOUR TRAINING SESSION IN PERSON OR VIA ZOOM
$120 : Zoom$150 : In person
A one hour training session can help get you and your dog back on track. It’s a jam packed informational session for the owner's benefit. The one hour session typically is laid out first by us listening to you about your situation, then providing immediate analytical advice, practical adjustments to owners current training program, and an education on proper methods and techniques that have been proven to benefit the situation. Also includes potty training education. Sometimes it’s just a small adjustment that is needed to get back on track! This is for the type of person that wants to spend the time working with their dog directly through multiple sessions each day. It’s up to you to apply the info you learn in the one hour session.
Multiple sessions available at a discounted price.
GROOMING DESENSITIZATION SERVICE
$70/DAY = $490 RECOMMENDED 7 DAYSDAY TRAINING
Pricing: $65/dayHas 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.
PUPPY Potty TRAINING
$900Five 1-on-1 Program
PRICING: $550A one-on-one program can be very beneficial to both you and your dog. This program offers step by step help into understanding the necessary commands and forming a solid foundation of obedience. You will also be working on the three D’s: Distance, Duration, and Distraction, all of which allow you, and your dog, to live a harmonious life. It's really about enjoying the time you spend with them.
Keep in mind 5 sessions are recommended but more are available! These sessions will help teach you the fundamentals of basic obedience and will be 90% of the owners work and 10% of the trainers. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, do many exercises, and help curve many unwanted behaviors yourself.
1-on-1 sessions are not geared for heavy behavior modification for fearful/nervous dogs. Please book a Meet and Greet with a trainer at Prairie Preak for help with any of these particular behaviors. This will help us come up with a custom plan that will work best for your dog.
You will get 5 sessions that run 60 minutes each, once a week, for 5 consecutive weeks. This will also include the trainer giving you many different exercises and activities to do at home between the weeks.
