Welcome to Lakota Creek Kennels
We are passionate about providing proven dog training methods and education to Des Moines and the surrounding areas. Dedicated to your dog's success and well-being, we leverage our extensive experience training dogs across the United States, Europe, and Australia. We use proven balanced training techniques to achieve lasting results. Our background is unique and extremely diverse, from training working K9s for Department of Defense contracts to providing science backed rehabilitation for behavior modification cases.
Whether your dog struggles with aggression, reactivity, basic obedience, or advanced skills, we customize our training programs to fit your specific needs.
What Makes Our Dog Training Different?
We customize every training plan to fit your dog's unique needs and your specific goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach like many dog trainers. Our personalized progression plans ensure clarity and set realistic expectations for your pup’s development. In addition to our expert dog training, we also offer AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluations, helping your dog achieve recognized milestones in obedience and good behavior.

With regular exercise, playtime, and personalized attention, we strive to create a home away from home where your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
