Shepherds K9 Services

Why did I wait to do this!. I had issues with my German Shepherd of pulling on a leash, bolting & dragging me while on a walk & random barking. All of these problems were addressed & I feel like I have a new dog. I had to be trained as well to keep the skills in place once he was back home. It is a godsend. I can really enjoy my dog & others now can see the differences. Stephanie was so easy to work with & to understand. So glad that I chose her.

Stephanie trained our dog Benny over three weeks (board and train). Benny has now been home for a couple of weeks and he is like a different dog. Not in a bad way. He still has his same charisma - just, without the bad manners. When we went in for a consultation, Stephanie spent over an hour with us evaluating Benny so she could recommend the right program. When we picked Benny up from the board and train program, Stephanie spent three hours with us educating us on the commands and practicing various scenarios. She provided us detailed notes as well. I can’t believe the transformation! Benny can now walk off leash when previously he was pulling us all over the place. When walking off leash, he lays down immediately upon stopping. He also gets in his “place” and stays there when asked. He has stopped jumping on us and friends upon entering the house. One of my favorite commands is “Benny enough” which means calm down and he does it immediately. I know she taught him other things and didn’t even tell us because those behviours are completely gone. For instance, Benny never scratches at the door to get in anymore. Our back door was scratched up with paint coming off and the weatherstripping torn because he was so obnoxious when trying to get in the house (by the way, he is never out for more than five minutes). He would often push open the door due to his scratching. Now, he stands outside and patiently waits. We don’t even know when he’s waiting to get inside at night because he is black. This weekend, I repainted the door and replace the weatherstripping (yay). Sending Benny to train and board with Stephanie was one of the best investments we’ve ever made. Benny is transforned. We can take him anywhere which is awesome. He can come with me to Home Depot. He walks right beside me while I’m wearing the shoulder leash and lays down which allows me to have hands-free to shop. He even came with us to a 4th of July parade. It’s really unbelievable. Thank you, Stephanie.

Stephanie used e collar for all training. Withheld food as well, my 2 malinois came back emaciated. One after a one month board and train and the other for a week. The 2nd one came back emotionally a mess, she over the years became aggressive and acted as if we were going to hurt her with the e collar. Very unhappy with services, i made her aware that my vet said they both were emaciated and she did nothing about it! NOTHING
