If your dog needs obedience training, look no further. I highly recommend Mike and his services. He takes the required time to not only ensure your dog is properly trained, but also takes the owner’s through training to enforce what your dog has learned can continue at home.
Looked at several trainers, my wife and I were happy we decided to go with Mike.
We love our dog, and she was well taken care of during her training.

Mike and Missy are phenomenal. I left my 9 month old German shepherd with them for about 3-4 hours, and in that time alone, he had already progressed with Bishop by him not barking vigorously, pulling on the leash, or misbehaving. The reason I brought Bishop to train is because he was getting older, bigger, & stronger. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control him. But Mike works with us both. He examines the relationship between the both of me & Bishop to better train Bishop for me. They also have land for bishop to roam, & I live in an apartment in Houston, so Bishop does not get to do that often! Mike invited me to come visit whenever I could so he could also teach me how to handle Bishop. He's doing basic training right now, but I already know I'll be bringing Bishop back for further training. What I really like about Prairie Kennles is that I'm getting my money's worth. I promise you will not be disappointed with their work.

Effective, professional trainer. Mike is personable and focused on delivering as much training as possible in the time allotted. He will listen to the owners and then to the dog, diagnose the minimum requirements, tell the owners what he believes the dog needs and what he can provide. Once the dog has the basics of what will become the new regime, it is the owner's / handler's job to reinforce what both parties have learned over the next couple months. I'm very pleased with what he has been able to instill in my Border Collie in only two weeks.
