Scheurman's K9 Academy

I have been with Wally and Edith for 6 years now. I had a golden doodle that would not listen to a word I said. I took a leap of faith and signed up for a 6 week beginner course. From week one I could tell they knew what they were doing. I was the one that needed training and yes, they let me know it. I was doing everything wrong and Bailey was taking complete advantage of it. It was tough to hear what they said but once I listened to them and did what I was supposed to, she followed me and is now a very well behaved dog. I take her everywhere a dog is allowed, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ace Hardware. I can put my dogs in a down, stay and have people enter my home and not get jumped on. I also have a 4 year old goldendoodle named Bruin. Right from puppyhood he has been in classes with me and Bailey and can also go anywhere with me because of the knowledge I gained from their training. Both my doodles have 3 CGC’s and I have not only gained two well behaved dogs but I have gained lifelong friends as well with other members of their classes. Everywhere we go I have people ask me how I get them to behave so well..... and I proudly say Scheurman’s K9 Acedemy.

We have been with Scheurman's K9 Academy for 18 years. We started with a German Shepherd who was dog-aggressive and we couldn't take him anywhere. Wally and Edith taught us how to work with him and were very safety-minded as we worked through his issues. They told us from the start that we had to work with him at home - not just weekly at class. We did everything they said, we put in the effort every day at home and every week at class and we were eventually rewarded with a well behaved dog who happily achieved his Canine Good Citizen title! We could then take him everywhere without fear when untrained dogs approached him, he was well-mannered and followed his training and was no longer aggressive. Since that time, we've taken 9 German Shepherds and 1 Hound - all rescues with different issues through his training classes. Without fail, Wally and Edith have helped us to resolve every issue we've presented them with. They do hold us accountable for working with our dogs at home and insist that we are consistent with our training, in return, we have earned Canine Good Citizen titles on every single one and more importantly, we can take our dogs anywhere. We currently have 5 and they go with us on camping trips and people are always amazed at how well-behaved and friendly they all are. We hand out Scheurman's K9 Academy cards and tell people if they're willing to put for the effort and follow the instructions provided by Wally and Edith, they too can have well-behaved and friendly dogs. If you want someone else to do the work for you and not put any effort in yourself, then you will never see the results you want. Don't make your decision based on my review - or any review, go and watch a class! Visit with the students! You will see if it is the right fit for you and it's free to watch the class and ask Wally, Edith and the students all the questions you have. The camaraderie between Wally, Edith and the students in class is phenomenal and all are willing to help! It's a family and we always welcome new members. I will forever be grateful to Wally and Edith for the potential they have helped me bring out in every one of our rescued dogs. Training with your dog strengthens your bond with them and brings so much joy by giving you the confidence to take them anywhere knowing their behavior will make you proud.

$7000 Mistake with Wally and his dog training If you want a highly trained dog and have the means to pay for it, don’t waste your time and money on this place. 12 weeks of training that was basically wasted. The communication while my dog was away for terrible. Never received pics or video of my dogs progression even tho I was told I would. My dog came home with a breakout from stress on her. While it’s hereditary it was still brought on from stress The training and advice that I received from Wally was disputed by two other AKC trainers and a K9 officer that have evaluated my dog since picking her up. They all recommend i not go back for the other 2 sessions I paid for. The training my dog received was subpar at best. The unprofessional and arrogant attitude from Wally is unbelievable. This place is a joke and so are his prices. STAY AWAY 🤣🤣Even your response is BROKEN AND LAZY🤣🤣 Wally your a clown and a loser you can’t even explain yourself just post what you and already both know. No matter what that contract says, you half@$$ed trained my dog. You didn’t give me what I paid for and we both know it. Heck you didnt even return my calls when you had my dog, let alone after I picked her up. Your not even in the shape or physical health it takes to work and train these dogs!!
