FirstBarkOur dog Zuko always moves his time at Lakota Creek. My wife and I always feel good knowing he is going to have a good time and be taken care of so well. Josh is very experienced, and his staff are great. Would always recommend Lakota Creek!

Josh was incredible with our challenging boy. Great communication, daily updates via social media, effective training, and our pup was very well taken care of! Will be recommending him to anybody that needs some training for their dog!
Lakota Creek Kennels did an amazing job training my 7 year old dog who had a lot of bad habits. They're awesome!
Great Kennel I have Cancer and its the only place I leave my Lab, They walk them daily over to Lake Aquabi , and he is also an excellent Trainer !!
Every one there was so nice! Nacho, our dog, did so well there.
