FirstBarkI definitely recommend Lakota Creek Kennels for any future boarding needs! Josh is so kind, and he is great about answering any questions you might have. He was also very flexible working with me on pickup and drop off times. I know Quincy was well-taken care of while he was there!

I adopted Shadow from a buddy who had planned to train him but moved for work unexpectedly. With suddenly having a high caliber, high-energy dog, I didn't have the time or skills to train him. I did some checking around and found Tony at Lakota Creek Kennels. I got shadow in over the summer, planning to have him ready for season.. So glad I did! Tony got Shadow dialed in, to the point I probably could have pursued field trial, however I just wanted a meat Dog. Shadow is a ball of fire, always eager to please, and a retrieving machine! Thanks Tony! Highly recommend!
Sent my lab out to Lakota creek to get trained his first two years. Toni did a great job training my dog to be a great hunting dog and also training me how to work my dog. Would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great trainer for dog.
Whether you are looking for basic training for a new puppy, obedience training, boarding, a training tune up, or getting your four legged hunting buddy dialed in on advanced gun dog training. This is the place to go. I can’t thank Tony enough for the time and patience he’s put in with Buddy. Highly recommended.
Josh is an amazing trainer and human! He truly cares about the people and pups he works with. He went above and beyond anything I expected!
