Personalized, patient, and professional training rooted in the Kansas prairie spirit.
Great Plains Kennels was born from a bond between a man and his dog. Inspired by his retriever Rylo, Devin Dultmeier takes a personal approach to dog training, focusing on each dog's unique personality and needs.
Located in Silver Lake, Kansas, Great Plains Kennels specializes in retriever and obedience training — creating lifelong hunting partners and well-mannered companions.
