Questions about german shepherd training
Why use a German Shepherd specialist?
German Shepherds are intelligent, powerful and sensitive to leadership. A trainer who has lived with the breed for decades can read its drive and nerve accurately and avoid the mistakes that create reactive or anxious Shepherds.
Do you offer protection training?
Yes, for suitable dogs. Pat evaluates temperament first because protection work must be built on solid obedience and a stable dog.
