Hanabrit German Shepherds - Established 2003

Training

I'm anything but the normal dog trainer;
I believe having puppies/teenagers with the advanced dogs in the same class, this teaches all the four legged students how to behave in a natural pack environment.

The pups learn by watching the calmer energy of the older dogs and the older dogs learn to tolerate
and ignore the energy of the puppies.

Please come have some fun with us!
My classes are drop in when ya can, not a 6-8 week sessions.
I teach the students that attend, 4 -10.
After a quick Q & A, I help each student at what ever level they are at and
I strive to move you & your dog forward to the next level, at your speed.
My goal for every student is to pass the CGC & advanced CGCs, then on to off leash OB & rally novice  & advanced rally(off leash).
If  just to build a stronger bond with you & your dog or to compete at
a rally competition, your choice, just learn to have fun with your dog.

Judy Long has 40+  years of dog training experience.

As a teenager, I was a dog trainer/groomer before I even knew what it was called. I have always had the "touch" with animals,  grooming with the President of the Michigan Grooming Association at Puff-n-Fluff , Waterford, MI. back in the 80's, then was a manager of the grooming/boarding facility at  DePorre' Veterinary hospital in Birmingham, MI.

Training dogs of many breeds with a calm and gentle hand, to teach manners and basic obedience. Since 1992, I have been training, showing and breeding Horses & German Shepherds. I have titled my Shepherds in AKC Obedience-Rally, Canine Good Citizens and Therapy dogs, to give back to the community where I have lived my entire life and raised our family.

For 18+ years we have been seen in Highland and Milford during the Farmers Market, Music in the Park and Sunday afternoons, during our socializing walks with our dogs. Milford is very dog friendly, it is such a pleasure, utilizing the stores, elevator and stairwells, it helps our Therapy dogs in training and the younger pups to be good canine citizens with manners, meeting and greeting people and other dogs in town.

Class will cover the items on the CGC tests, Therapy tests & advanced social skills.
CGC is a ten-skill training program that’s open to all dogs–purebred and mixed breed–that focuses on teaching the basics of good manners and obedience, instilling the values of responsible ownership, and strengthening the bond between you and your dog at home and out in the community.ple Headline
