Not sure which Stay & Train is right for your dog? 🐾

Every dog is different—and the right amount of training depends on their age, behaviour, and the challenges you’re working through.

Here’s a quick guide to my 3, 5 & 7-Day Stay & Train programs:

🐾 3-DAY STAY & TRAIN (everyday foundations)
Build the skills that make everyday life easier.

Perfect for puppies, young dogs, and dogs who need better everyday manners. I'll focus on leash skills, impulse control, calm behaviour, boundaries, and the foundations for success at home and in the real world.

🐾 5-DAY STAY & TRAIN (behaviour & balance)
More time for bigger everyday challenges.

Ideal for dogs who need more than the foundations. I'll work on challenges like reactivity toward dogs or people, overstimulation, social skills, impulse control, and learning to stay calmer and more responsive when distractions get tough.

🐾 7-DAY STAY & TRAIN (extended training)
More practice. More repetition. More time to make it stick.

Everything included in our 5-Day, plus two extra days to reinforce new patterns and add more real-world practice.

Going away for the week? This can also be a great option—your dog gets a productive week of professional training with me while you’re away.

The training may happen here, but my support follows you home.
Every Stay & Train includes professional, real-world training, the tools you need to maintain your dog’s progress, and lifetime support. I’ll be here to help you every step of the way.

Still not sure which one is right for your dog?
That’s what I'm here for. Reach out and tell me about your dog and the challenges you’re experiencing. I'll help you choose the best fit.

Real Training. Real Results. Real Support.

10/10 I would definitely recommend Prairieburn K9 Academy for their Stay and Train program. Before our 4yo girl's training she was anxious and reactive when strangers and certain people would enter the home, camp, and gates.

We tried different training strategies on our own without success. When we dropped off our girl, Debbi was super kind and reassuring, she definitely helped us to feel safe leaving our girl with her. She posted daily video updates and pictures which were so awesome to see.

The improvements we have seen in our girl has been so great. She no longer rushes to the door or gate when people enter. She is now so calm and unbothered in situations that would have previously made her anxious and reactive. We are so so so greatful for Debbi and all of her hard work with our girl ❤️

PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS

I am a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP) and have earned my Certified Dog Trainer (CDT) designation.
Throughout my career, I have also been involved with professional and canine organizations including the Canadian Association of Pet Dog Trainers, Canadian Kennel Club, Portage Kennel Club, German Shepherd Club of Manitoba and German Shepherd Club of Canada.

But the education I value most continues to come from the dogs themselves, the families who trust me with them, and the mentors who have challenged me to keep learning.

I will always be grateful for the knowledge, opportunities and support I've received throughout this journey—particularly from Heather Beck and Cesar Millan.
They helped me better understand something that remains at the heart of Prairieburn today:

When we understand the dog differently, we can change the relationship.

And when we change the relationship, we can change life together.

What if your dog trainer was still your dog trainer years from now?

That’s one of the biggest differences when you choose Prairieburn.

Your Stay & Train isn't where our relationship ends.

It's where it begins.

Your dog comes to us for professional training — but lasting results require more than sending home a better-behaved dog.

That's why the Prairieburn Difference includes you.

🐾 UNDERSTAND YOUR DOG
You'll learn why your dog behaves the way they do, how your interactions influence that behaviour, and the plan for continuing their training at home.

🐾 HANDLE WITH CONFIDENCE
At your one-on-one Owner Transfer, we put the leash in your hands. You'll work with your own dog and learn how to use the tools (which are included!), reinforce expectations and confidently handle your dog at home.

🐾 LIFETIME SUPPORT
And this might be the most important part.

When your dog goes home, you don't lose your trainer.

Have a question three weeks later? We're here.
Hit a challenge six months from now? We're here.
Need a refresher down the road? We're here.

You have Prairieburn support for the life of your dog.

Because we're not interested in simply getting your dog through a 3, 5 or 7-Day Stay & Train.

We're interested in helping you succeed together long after it's over.

That's what you're investing in when you choose Prairieburn.

Not simply a number of training days.

Experience. Education. Confidence. Results. And someone in your corner for the life of your dog.

WE TRAIN. WE TEACH. WE SUPPORT.

🐾 CHANGE THE LEASH. TRANSFORM THE WALK.

If your dog pulls, lunges, gets overexcited, or turns every walk into a battle… sometimes you don’t need more strength.

You need a better walking tool.

The Heather’s Heroes Sidekick Leash is one of my favourite training tools because it gives you a simple way to communicate with your dog while helping create a calmer, more enjoyable walk.

And I don’t believe in selling you a training tool and leaving you to figure it out yourself.

🎓 FREE ONLINE TRAINING COURSE INCLUDED
🚚 FREE SHIPPING
🐕 Available in 2 sizes
🎨 Choose from 5 colours: Red, Black, Purple, Teal & Royal Blue

Your course will show you how to properly fit the Sidekick and, more importantly, how to actually use it to train your dog.

Because the leash is only the tool.

Knowing how to communicate through it is what changes the walk.

Better Communication. Better Behaviour. Stronger Bond.

FROM REACTIVE & OVERSTIMULATED → CALM, CONTROLLED & CONNECTED 🐾

Meet Toby.

When Toby arrived for his Stay & Train, walks were anything but enjoyable for his owners.

He was pulling hard on leash, reactive, overstimulated and difficult to control. His mind was constantly going, making it hard for him to slow down, listen and make better decisions.

But Toby didn’t just need to learn how to walk nicely on a leash.

He needed a change in mindset.

Throughout his Stay & Train, we worked on building impulse control, calmness, structure and better decision-making — while teaching him what was expected of him in real-life situations.

And the difference speaks for itself. ❤️

Today, Toby can:

✓ Walk calmly on a loose leash
✓ Pass distractions without reacting
✓ Settle and control his impulses
✓ Enjoy more freedom through reliable recall
✓ Make better choices instead of reacting to everything around him

This is why we train behaviour — not just obedience.

A loose leash is great.

But a dog who can think, settle, listen and make better decisions?

That changes life together.

Amazing work, Toby. 👏🐾

Training that changes behaviour.
Education that changes owners.
Support that makes the results last.
