Ranger is a 14 month old German Shepherd. He is our newest project and possibly the next candidate for Police K9 Patrol School. He is still a pup, and yet has an incredible amount of ball drive. His temperament is one to rebound very quickly and overcome fears on the second try. Ranger will work for a ball, a towel, a tug, and has learned to take his treats during marker training very easy from your hand. His obedience is coming along very nicely. We work mostly on environmental and socialization to ensure he is not afraid of any surfaces.

Each day Ranger and I work to achieve a different skill or trick. Whether it be simple sit to rolling over.
All obedience starts in a distraction free environment.
The head tilt will get them every time. It is impossible to not "aww" when the dog gives the tilt of the head.
Stay with us as we continue to work and train with our newest project. A special thank you goes out to Joe Nick for the opportunity to evaluate, test, and train this pup in preparation of a wonderful career ahead of him.
