Our Breeding Program

Metro K9 Academy is a purpose-bred breeding program, not a volume kennel. We focus exclusively on German Shepherds and Dobermans selected for temperament, health, clarity, and real-world suitability. Pair selections are made with a behavior-first mindset, incorporating breed-appropriate health testing, early socialization, and structured development.

Our Puppy Philosophy

Responsible Breeding, Ready for Real Life

Our puppy program is built around temperament, health, and clarity of our German Shepherd and Doberman puppies. The puppies receive early socialization, engagement work, and foundational development so they transition smoothly into family or working environments.

When your puppy goes home, you receive predictable routines, early skills, and a step-by-step plan to continue progress with confidence. Nationwide placement is available, with guidance throughout the process.

What Our Puppy Program Includes:

  • Purposeful German Shepherd and Doberman pairings
  • Breed-appropriate health testing
  • Early socialization and engagement
  • Temperament matching for family or professional goals
  • Take-home plan and ongoing support

Professional Dog Training

Training For Real Life – From Family Homes to Professional Roles

Training at Metro K9 serves three essential purposes:

  • Proof: Training validates our breeding by testing temperament, nerves, and clarity in real environments.
  • Preparation: Training creates well-mannered, reliable family dogs that are calm at home and confident in public.
  • Capability: For professional guardians and working homes, training extends into advanced control and role-specific skills.

This is one training system, applied with intention—whether your dog’s future is family life, sport, or professional responsibility.

Our Dog Training Philosophy

Clear, Humane Training That Transfers to Everyday Life

We believe reliable obedience comes from clarity, consistency, and real-world repetition. Our training approach blends hands-on experience with evidence-based principles of canine behavior. We tailor tools, drills, and pacing to your dog’s temperament and your goals—whether that’s a family companion, competition dog, or protection prospect.

Training formats include:

Training focus:
Communication, timing, proofing under distraction, and ethical tool use.

In practice, that means:

  • Clear markers & predictable rules your dog can follow
  • Structured reps in real settings (home, street, public spaces)
  • Right tool, right timing, right task—used humanely and effectively
  • Written practice plan for owner transfer and long-term success

A Training Community, Not Just a Program

Metro K9’s training programs are open to more than our own dogs. Families and handlers at all stages are welcome into a shared training environment built on consistency, clear communication, and mutual respect.

Whether you’re raising a puppy, refining obedience, or preparing for advanced work, you become part of a community focused on responsible ownership and long-term success—not quick fixes.
