Mark is fantastic working with dogs. He has great communication and is always welcoming. It has been so much fun watching Prince go from a puppy to a fully trained Hunter Retriever Champion and Master Hunter.

Can’t say enough good things about the team at Drake Creek Kennels. If you are looking for an honest, family owned trainer with clean facilities look no further. The two biggest things that set Mark apart from other kennels in the midwest are his training and communication. Being a smaller operation he is able to know your dogs strengths and weaknesses and build upon those. Very responsive and provides thought out weekly and monthly summaries. I would recommend DCK to anyone looking for a professional, fair priced and hard working trainer.

My dog, Tucker, loves visiting his friends at Drake Creek Kennels! He isn't a hunting dog, by any means... Just a pet/companion. But, he gets treated as if he was a champion. He always comes home happy and healthy and wanting to go back for more! Definitely recommend the team at Drake Creek Kennels!
