Viking Prairie K9 is based in Okeechobee, Florida, and Robert works with dogs of every breed and age. Owners come from across the state and from outside Florida, because Board & Train does not depend on living nearby. You bring your dog in, Robert does the daily training, and you come back to learn how to maintain it.
Your dog trains in real places, not only a quiet yard: stores, parks, sports facilities and around other people and dogs. The goal is obedience that holds up in everyday life, built on Control, Respect and Communication.

Getting your dog to Okeechobee
Dogs are dropped off and picked up in Okeechobee, Florida. That works for owners driving in from elsewhere in Florida and for owners traveling in from other states.
Robert will sometimes drive one to two hours to meet an owner partway. If that would help you, ask when you contact Viking Prairie K9 and he will tell you what is possible.
Trained in real places
Obedience that only works at home is not much use. During Xena's four-week Board & Train, she trained at:
- Home Depot
- The feed store
- A veterinary office
- A ballpark
- A playground
- K9 sports facilities
- Swimming and water work
Pricing
Choose the duration that best fits your training goals. Program recommendations and pricing are customized based on your dog's needs.
Board & Train spots are extremely limited each month and this is the most requested program.
