Shepherds K9 Services

I had just lost my daughter and inherited Her German shepherd I have suffered from back pain now I suffered from PTSD AND ANXIETY. She goes with me most of the time she very lovingg and loyal. She was so good to her. I want to make her a service dog I am so thank ful for the love and understanding she gave my. Girl. I don't think I would have made it without ny shepherd because I have no family everywhere I go, out , people love her. It was so difficult at first. But now my girl is amazing. and beautiful

After several months of struggling with our Mini Dachshund Waffles, I started looking into official training programs. She was having issues with barking, housebreaking, resource guarding, and was causing a lot of frustration and stress within our household. From the beginning, I knew a board & train program was what we preferred and had several friends recommend Stephanie at Shepherd’s K9. From the moment I dropped Waffles off, I knew she was in great hands. The facility was impressive— so clean, very safe, and well-equipped, allowing Waffles to socialize with other dogs while receiving structured training. I always looked forward to seeing pictures and videos that Stephanie would post while she was there. After four weeks, we had our exit meeting with Stephanie (AKA “train the humans”) and spent several hours learning how to enforce all of the training and manners Waffles learned. When Stephanie brought her into the room with us, we were all amazed as how different (in a very good way!) she was. Now that she’s home, it’s been amazing to see how she’s transformed into an obedient and well-mannered puppy. Not only did she learn a number of essential commands, but she seems happier and more relaxed which makes our entire family happy. She loves showing off her new skills! Our family is now able to enjoy having her and our bond with her is growing by the day. Stephanie also boards dogs that she’s trained so when we travel, Waffles can board there and will receive reinforcements on her training (she’s actually there as I write this while we are on a weekend trip). I highly recommend Stephanie & this program to any dog owner looking to improve their dog’s behavior and strengthen the bond between them. It’s an investment but one that is absolutely worth it. Stephanie, we can’t thank you and your incredible team enough for giving Waffles the tools she needs to thrive!

After being referred to Shephed's K9 by several people we decided to book a consultation with Stephanie. We were struggling with an out of control 4.5 Month old Doberman "Banks". Bank's had many behavioral issues that needed attention, but his main problem was separation anxiety and a HUGE fear of being crated or left alone. After completion of the 3 week board and train Stephanie brought out our Boy to train us on how to use specific commands and to show off his progress. We couldn't believe this was the same dog. He was so well behaved and well mannered, obeyed all commands given to him, and went RIGHT into his crate when prompted to do so. We cannot recommend Stephanie and the folks at Shepherds K9 enough. This was the best decision we could have made for us and our Boy. Attached is a photo of Bank's enjoying some sunshine at the beach after training.
