Prairie Ranch Kennels

Prairie Ranch Kennels is a pet boarding facility in Winona, MN, set on 60 acres of the area's farmland and specializing in dog boarding, daycare, and training with a focus on sport and hunting dogs. The kennel offers spacious indoor kennels that are air conditioned and heated, with a raised bed and stainless steel feeding and watering bowls in each. Kennels are cleaned and sanitized daily, and dogs are exercised a minimum of five times daily in outdoor grass kennels. The facility holds a rating of 4.20 based on customer reviews.

The property is run by Mike and Lisa, who built Prairie Ranch Kennels out of a shared love of animals and the country. Mike has been a personal dog trainer for over forty-five years, with early years spent hunting and field trialing before a career in manufacturing pulled him away from training. He returned to the work once his family was raised. Lisa played at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon before a career-ending accident redirected her drive toward family and, later, developing the farm into a boarding facility. The 60-acre farm shares space with cows, horses, cats, and dogs, as well as wild turkey, ducks, geese, pheasant, quail, and deer.

The kennel sits on Garvin Heights Road, less than a mile from County Highway 44 and about two and a half miles from Wincrest Park, with Gilmore Creek running nearby.

The positive rating from reviewers reflects a facility where hands-on, country-style care and decades of training experience meet the needs of hunting and sport dog owners in the Winona area.
