Why Choose German Shepherds?

Bred for Excellence

German Shepherds have been bred as working dogs for years, making them easier to train compared to other breeds. Although relatively new (dating back to the late 1800's), they were specifically developed to be superior in the working capacity of a herding dog.

A History of Excellence

For over a hundred years, they have been consistently raised by dog breeders and trainers to excel in different working capacities, such as protection, detection, and service roles. Generations of careful breeding have produced an obedient dog breed that is loyal and well-tempered.

Trainability & Intelligence

German Shepherds are very receptive to human interaction. They are intelligent animals with an instinctive drive to work and serve. Whether your desire is to have a working dog or simply a more obedient companion, we can help you achieve your goals.

Dog Training Services in Florida

We offer complete German Shepherd training services in Florida. Dog training is the process of modifying how a dog acts and/or behaves. The reason why a pet owner may want to consider dog training could be to teach the dog to perform certain actions that assist the owner in some way, or for it to behave effectively in a human's home life.

Dog Training Services in Florida

We can satisfy your needs for training your canine friend. We have many years of experience when it comes to conducting training lessons in Florida, as well as two other countries. We are especially adept to training German Shepherd. If you need your German Shepherd dog to be trained in a working capacity, FDA can help develop your dog into an effective working pet. We can also teach your dog to perform basic tricks.

Behavior Modification

Dogs that behave in a bad way can become a nuisance, and even a liability. Modifying the dog's behavior when it's around you and your family members will make a happier home life. Dogs must learn to act appropriately in the house, as well as abroad. A well-behaved dog will act in accordance with your expectations when walking it on a sidewalk, or taking it to a public place where there are strangers, playing kids and other dogs, such as a neighborhood park.

Basic Training For Dogs

Basic dog training techniques can help modify and improve the behavior of the german shepherd breed, as well as any dog breed. There are several basic commands that will teach them discipline and result in improving how they act around humans and other dogs. For instance, the simple command of stay will teach a dog that they must stay in one spot and not react to things around it. This teaches the dog discipline and helps modify its overall behavior. Other basic commands are sit, heel, down and leave it. All are beneficial to a dog and it's owner in different ways that range from how well a dog walks when on a leash to how well a dog resists consuming organic fragments found on the ground.

Protection Dog Training

German Shepherds are fantastic dogs, and it's the primary breed we work with. They are one of the most popular breeds of working dogs, and can be effectively trained to do a number of specific tasks. The ability of a German Shepherd to perform as a working dog precedes many other breeds, especially for protection.

Creating Bonds

At the Florida Dog Academy, we take a positive approach to make German Shepherd training an enjoyable and fulfilling activity. We are qualified and equipped to train several breeds of dog, however, German Shepherds are the main breed of dog that we train. We believe that German Shepherds show a special attraction toward humans, and by creating bonds with them through positive reinforcement, the training process becomes easier and more effective. We promote relationships of mutual respect and trust.

Trainer: Klaus Rempis

An explosives/narcotics trainer in Florida with over 20 years of experience.

A dog learns from every action it experiences in its environment. This can be through a couple of ways such as association or non-associative learning. In any case, it's important to never use physical punishment as a form of dog training, as this technique is guaranteed to result in your dog always being fearful or nervous when you come near. Instead, consider positive reinforcement such as rewarding your dog for good behavior.

"The best german shepherd training is right here in Florida, and it all starts at the Florida Dog Academy. We offer this training locally as well as internationally. We speak English, German, Spanish and Chinese."
