Gallant Edge German Shepherds

We believe that training forms a wonderful bond between the owner and the pup and makes for a wonderful, happy, fulfilling, rewarding, long lasting close relationship between man-woman-child and our K9-puppy-adult-family members. Our pups training starts at 8 weeks in manners and basic obedience in preparation for good neighbor (citizen in the US) and temperament testing.  They will each go on to compete in the show ring, obedience, agility, tracking or schutzund which combines (agility, tracking, obedience, protection and endurance) in order to bring out the best qualities and to improve not only our relationship and bond but also the quality of their pups.

For the New Puppy Owner

Many new puppy owners now take their dogs to manners and obedience training after the pup has received his/her second shots to start the process of having a well trained dog.  Classes are usually one hour once per week for 8 weeks.  The average cost of $130.00 can vary with approximately 15 minutes per day practicing at home along with incorporating what you learned in every day life with your pup.

These classes benefit both the owner and the pup and continue the socialization process with strangers, animals and of course improve the communication and bond between the puppy and owner.  They are also a great opportunity to have a professional trainer assist with any concerns you have. 

Because the German Shepherd is so smart and versatile and needs to feel like part of the family, others like to go on with further training or competition which brings more quality time and even closer bond and mutual understanding. 

Should you decide to compete your dog in the show ring, obedience, tracking, agility, schutzund, flyball or want to get involved with pet therapy or search and rescue or any other area, or just wish to have a well trained companion dog or information about these, we will be glad to provide advice and assistance and can make recommendations for training and dog clubs.
