hi i am looking for a protection dog for my landlord she really wants a german shepherd for herself she walks alot and is scared of all the stuff that is going on now
Dan is right about finding a reputable GSD breeder. You can refer to our Doggone Helpful page of our website for tips on selecting a breeder. As far as the training is concerned, there is a trainer in Columbus by the name of Chad Byerly at Posidog who does protection training using positive reinforcement methods: https://www.posidog.org/control-intensity/

They do dog training for obedience mostly. They don't breed dogs or train for protection. You need to find a reputable German Shepherd breeder and find out about police training for dogs. The training you're referring to is about $5,000.00

I went to Cold Nose a number of years ago for various obedience, therapy certification, Nosework, and a few other classes for my one dog. I recently rescued a dog, and she is very reactive towards other dogs, sometimes people and moving cars. Even though she is only 20 lbs, she is a handful during encounters, making going on walks not enjoyable for either one of us. We are now 3 weeks into the Chill class for reactive dogs, and I have seen improvement. We still have a ways to, but I know the outcome will continue to be successful, knowing I need to apply what I am learning at all times during our walks. Cold Nose Companions uses positive training. No punishment, choke or prong collars, and no shock collars. That is one reason I went to them, and I am so glad I did many years ago with my other dog. I would not recommend any other training facility.
Excellent dog training program. Staff/trainers are welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. Facility is very clean and roomy. Our small dog (15 lb cavapoo) loves coming to classes. She's completed 3 courses so far and we are so impressed with her progress. Cold Nose Dog Training is the best!

First of all, I brought all three of my young children to our one-on-one dog training session. I did this partly because I didn't have childcare and partly because our dog, Roz, lives in a house with busy young kids! So from the start, we provided a unique challenge! That being said, we were very impressed. Christine was calm, direct, and professional. She made the experience uniquely tailored to our family and educated us on our dog's cues and needs. I highly recommend Coldnose Companions! Thank you, Christine!
We've done a few private classes for our little Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. He had already received basic training elsewhere but needed support in getting ready for our newborn. Christine was incredibly communicative, timely, and had great rapport with our pup right away. We've had a wonderful experience overall with Cold Nose Companions!
