All dog breeds
Handler, nerve, public
German Shepherd
Loyal, territorial, and sensitive to the handler's mood. Poor structure turns watchfulness into noise.
What we train
Confidence without suspicion, a clean heel, and public access that does not advertise itself.
In this practice
Shepherds do best with a handler who is quiet and consistent. Katie builds the relationship first, then the picture: threshold, place, and a down that means down, even when the world is moving.
