Helping you keep your family well protected while also gaining a cherished family member is our goal. We refer to what we do as providing you with “huggable security,” because that’s what you’ll be getting. Under the guidance of Wayne Simanovich and other skilled dog trainers, our German shepherds learn how to become protection dogs and lovable family members, giving you the best of both worlds.

How Our Dog Training Works

Our dogs are trained at our farm in western North Carolina using principles based on Schutzhund, a dog sport that helps determine if German shepherds have what it takes to become working dogs. The traits we look for include intelligence, a protective instinct, trainability, a desire to work and courage. We choose to work with this breed because they’re known for being good working dogs with stable temperaments. Once our dogs are fully trained, they’re available for sale to families looking for a protection dog. You don’t have to drive up to our farm to pick up your dog — instead, we’ll bring your dog to you in South Carolina. We’ll even stay for a couple of days to make sure that your new family member gets settled in and used to their new surroundings.

Benefits of Simanovich Dog Training

We’re not your typical dog trainers. We understand the importance of ensuring that protection dogs are properly trained, yet can still be trusted family members. Our German shepherds learn how to do just that. You’ll be able to trust your dog with your family’s security and enjoy having a lovable pet and faithful companion. We consider a dog’s manageability in addition to its trainability in order to ensure that no behavioral problems occur. You don’t have to take our word for it either. We’ve received glowing testimonials from our past clients. We’ve even trained dogs for executives and celebrities, including Burt Reynolds and Scottie Pippen.
