She saved him from a backyard breeder that was abusing dogs and went to prison for it. This dog was badly beeaten and almost starved when she took it in 4 years ago. Now, it's one of the best dogs I have ever had around. Great dog. We are putting him though a much lesser, 12 week training with the same people at the same time, so both dogs learn the same commands etc. The lesser course is 500 bucks of the 4500 cost but also give him followup training for life if we need it. He's 4 years old now, but already pretty well trained, just need the polish here and there. If people are looking for new pets I would highly suggest looking for local rescues. Thumb up for being there for that poor cat.

I used to do volunteer work at the German Shepherd Rescue in Burbank. It was emotionally really hard to see so many incredible dogs just dumped off by idiot owners who should have never gotten a GSD in the first place.
They're big dogs. They're ultra bright and love to play. Most people buy them and don't know what's involved with having a large protective dog in the house. Its a big responsibility.
Sad how fucked up people are and toss dogs out like they mean nothing.
