Question on Google
I've recently found out that I have to have urgent surgery on my neck. I will be reco for approximately 2 months. I have a 15 month old German shepherd. He was a rescue from Reno. Does anyone know a foster place or board?

Paul at Von Dubinhaus Shepherds boards. Hes great and his dogs are well taken care of. I've left my Shepherd with him for up to two months for board and training. He took good care of him and my dog loves him.

Paul is an awesome trainer and instructor. I brought my American pitbull to him so he could give us the tools we need to turn Tank from a terror to a terrier. His prices are very fair and less expensive than other places I've looked at. We've only just started our lessons and have already gained some of the tools i need to get Tank on the path to being an obedient dog. I highly recommend him if you need help in training your dog. If you are already considering calling him, stop considering and just do it. 😁

Paul did a great job training my German shepherd puppy and is very responsive and compassionate with what he does. He also boarded her for us when she was extremely anxious being crate trained and when she came home she was perfect in her crate and has never had an issue with it since. Highly recommend for all your pets needs from training to boarding and everything in between.

Paul is an excellent dog trainer! I impulsively adopted a male Rottweiler-mix puppy. It might not have been the best plan, and I wasn't prepared for how out of control things got with him. Thankfully, I knew who to call, because Paul has trained dogs for our family before: a Malamute and a German Shepherd puppy. Well, I'm glad I called! Once again, things have drastically improved with my puppy.

If you're on the fence about investing in training, let Peanut and Butter's journey convince you. We started working with Paul in July 2024 with two German Shepherd mixes who were reactive to both people and dogs. We had gone through bite incidents — human and dog — and felt like we had tried everything. Nothing was working, and honestly, every walk felt like a crisis waiting to happen. We couldn't enjoy life together outside of our home. I felt responsible and heartbroken for my dogs and for myself. We enrolled in the lifetime training program right after our temperament test, and the transformation has been real. Peanut and Butter are no longer reactive to people at all — they can meet strangers out and about and genuinely enjoy getting pets from everyone. Dog reactivity is still a work in progress, but the improvement is night and day. Our walks are calmer, the constant emergency feeling is gone, and the embarrassment and fear we used to carry everywhere? Gone too. And it doesn't stop at training. Paul boards Peanut and Butter whenever I travel, and they love it there. I leave knowing they're in the best hands — with someone who actually knows them. They also come home squeaky clean thanks to the grooming package. I wasn't able to travel for a long time before we found Paul. He's genuinely made my life so much easier. Most importantly, Peanut and Butter are happier. That says everything. Paul's patience, expertise, and commitment to the long game are the real deal. Highly recommend — especially if you feel like you've already tried everything.

We met Paul as a reference from our family. He said he normally trains large dogs. He took us all on and his knowledge of training is outstanding. I have a little dog that doesn’t like other dogs. We took the lifetime package and has been consistently working towards a resolution. We have taken on several training solutions, I think we finally had a breakthrough. We look forward to to moving forward in there training. Also when we went on Vacation he boarded our dog for 7 days and our dog loved it. He also decides boarding, he does doggie daycare and recently started bathing and nail trims. Paul has been a great friend to our dogs. Where else can you get all in one stop, training, boarding, daycare, and dog care? Continue to grow your business.
