Here at Iron Shepherd Kennels, we believe in breeding healthy, active AKC-registered German Shepherds. We believe that no matter your active lifestyle, whether it be hiking, kayaking, camping, running, etc. with proper training, there is no reason your pup shoudn't be able to join you in all your adventures! We also stand by the knowledge that no dog is too old to be trained. No matter what you're

looking for we cover training and education for dogs in all stages of development from your new 8 week old puppy to older dogs that may just need a refresher. Even if you're not buying an iron shepherd pup, we are dog lovers and will help with all breeds.

One of the most important things to do when looking for a dog trainer, is to talk to there past client and ask about their experience with the trainer. Ask how their dog was treated, ask how comfortable they were with the trainer, ask how the dog is doing now compared to before training.

Always remember the proof is in the dogs you train, not what’s hanging on the wall.

I’m posting after an extremely unpleasant conversation at atomic city family fun center in Paducah Kentucky. I was approached and told I needed to show identification proving that boss was in fact a service dog. I proceeded to kindly explain to the gentleman that there is no certifying body in the United States of America for service animals and informed him of the questions that he is allowed to ask under the ADA. Then he proceeded to tell me that I would have to leave because my dog was not a service dog. I would also like to say I was there with my daughter for her birthday something that before I was unable to do without a service dog. After telling the manager that I was more than happy to wait for the police to arrive and explain the same thing I just explain to him we were allowed to stay. The manager was extremely rude and at no point did I raise my voice or become hostile with them. Actions like this concern me because someone with a service dog that may not be as well-versed in what to say may have left after being asked. The following was taken directly from the ADA website and if you are a business owner it would behoove you to read over it and educate your employees.

I had the honor this past Thursday of speaking with the students of Muhlenberg county high schools nursing, agriculture and JROTC programs. We discussed the differences between service dogs, emotional support animals and therapy dogs. We also went over the many uses of service dogs, from treating mental health illnesses to helping those with physical limitations. We were also able to talk at length about many of the laws surrounding the use of service animals and the continued work towards creating a certifying body for service dogs as well as going over The Americans with disabilities act as it pertains to public access and service dogs. I want to thank Andy Wagner and the staff at Muhlenberg County high school for inviting boss and I out.

Food smacking never sounded so cute!! ❤️🐾😂

Iron Shepherd Kennels would like to shine a spotlight on the Brewer family. They are doing an amazing job keeping up with their homework training Jet, and we love to see the whole family get involved. We can see all the progress that Jet is making. Keep up the good work!!!! ❤️🐾

Today we challenged both Maverick and Hannah by hiding our source odor in as dense foliage as possible. This is a challenge for both dog and handler who have to work together to find the source. As Maverick searches, Hannah has to navigate the terrain while giving commands and maintaining hold of the leash without accidentally pulling Maverick off scent. Both did exceptionally well And Maverick found all the sheds.

Boyd getting basic obedience

Terry and Boyd are getting their first taste of walking as a team. Proper heeling is an important part of the training process. ❤️🐾

We started Blitz on clicker training and he is loving it!! We can already see that he will thrive in this new training. ❤️🐾

This is what we love to see!! Travis and Jet are working so well together and take their homework very serious! We are so proud and happy to see the amazing progress and bond these 2 have made. ❤️🐾

Hillary and blitz came out today for their second session and did an amazing job. We are always happy to see how much progress our clients can make in the week that they’re away from us. And we can really see that Hillary and blitz are putting in the work between sessions! ❤️🐾

Hannah and And Maverick got their first taste of advanced off trail tracking. Both Hannah and And Maverick did exceptionally well finding four out of the four sheds.

Hannah and And Maverick got their first taste of advanced off trail tracking. Both Hannah and And Maverick did exceptionally well finding four out of the four sheds. this type of tracking is important to practice and it’s challenging for both handler and dog learning how to work together through dense brush and still stay on task. #ironshepherdkennels #ironshepherdtraining
