OUR DOGS
We take great pride in our dogs. We spend numerous hours
making sure they all get exercise, daily grooming, mental
stimulation, and we keep them trained in obedience. Our
German Shepherds are from the finest working lines.
Below are some descriptions and photos of them. Hope you
enjoy them as much as we do.
March 25th, 2007
On the top two pictures left to right is Neiko, Arko, Asha,
and 12-year old Juza. Neiko is the Son of Juza and HVK9's
Xano. Arko is the son of HVK9's
Kilo. Asha is the daughter of HVK9's
Xano and Shatzi. Asha was returned (at 9-monthe of age)
because the owners said she was highly dog aggressive, couldn’t
be around people or children and told by another Hudson
Valley Trainer (?), that she and any other working German
Shepherds could not live in a family setting and be around
children or other dogs. She lives with these dogs and was
not raised with them. She plays with children and is training
for obedience competition, personal protection, Tier 4 treadmill
titled (including treadmill protection), AKC’s Canine
Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy Dog (TDI). Even the Best
Bred dogs are subject to negativity when the wrong owners
use the wrong trainer who tries to cover the lack of training
skill by blaming the dog and it’s breeding. Bob of
HVK9 did Asha’s
basic Obedience at 5-months. She was perfect. During the
next four months the old owners created a potential monster.
Asha is now one of our dogs and is balanced again.
Broadlawn Manor Certificate of
Appreciation
The certificate was given to us by Broadlawn Manor assisted
living, for consistent volunteer work. We visit Broadlawn
Manor with Arko our TDI certified dog.
Arko (Artilleriekommandeur):
Artillery Commander, see below.
Artillerie-Kommandeur: Artillery Commander. The General Staff
officer in charge of coordinating Korps level artillery and
also a Korps level numbered HQ used to control artillery assets.
Used for most of WWII.
Arko is a Czechoslovakian German Shepherd.
Czech dogs are used for K9 Work, Police, Border Patrol, Military,
etc. Bob Conklin of Hudson
Valley K9 Academy introduced us to Arko. Bob is a reputable
breeder and trainer with over 38 year of experience working
with dogs in the Air force, Boarder Patrol, United States
Customs, and the Police Department. Kilo is Arko’s father.
Kilo is trained in obedience, tracking, and protection. Kilo’s
great looks, health, agility, and knowledge have without a
doubt been passed along to Arko. Arko’s grandparents
are BREN Modra Srela & ABA Obadove Oko, who are from famous
Czech lines, known for producing
long life, health and strong vitality with clear heads and
drive. His great granparent are from the Mat-Roz working lines.
Kilo’s offspring carry his powerful body and great temperament
and his willingness to work.
Arko has a great genetic balance. He is social with other
pets, children, and adults, yet has a great sense for guarding
our property with the drive to protect. These Czech
dogs are not heavily angulated like the typical conformation
of German Shepherd show dogs. Arko is primarily black with
tan on his legs. He has a rich black coat. Czech
dogs come in traditional colors, black & tan, black &
red, all black, and sable. He brings back the “old style”
bloodlines with a broad, muscular head, well defined ears,
thick powerful chest, and thick muscular neck and shoulders.
Arko stands on an 85lb frame but looks larger due to his muscularity.
Not only a handsome dog to look at, he has great work ability.
Arko has the mind set to accelerate at all levels of training.
Good health, intelligence, obedience, agility, personality,
We couldn’t ask for a better dog. Arko’s goal
is to give love and be loved. He is not to be mistaken for
a soft dog. These Czech dogs are
tough and not to be taken for granted.
You may think you have seen Arko at the Mention Ridge Golf
Course upstate NY. It’s his brother Onyx. Onyx was purchased
and trained through Hudson
Valley K9 Academy to chase geese off the golf course.
Canine Good Citizen &
Therapy Dog International
Harry and Arko decided to have a little fun February 5th.
2005. Arko passed his CGC & TDI certifications.
AKC Companion Dog (CD)
To earn Arko's CD title, Harry and Arko competed on February
19th 2005 at the Jim Rau Dog Show sponsored by the Staten
Island Companion Dog Training Club. The Novice Class had 28
competitors. Harry and Arko came in 1st place with a score
of 195 out of 200 and also took home the prize for the highest
scoring German Shepherd.
The 2nd competition was held on February 20th, also a Jim

Harry and Arko competed on February 16th 2008 at the Staten
Island Companion Dog Training Club in Staten Island NY. The
Open A Class had 25 competitors. Harry and Arko came in 3rd
place with a score of 184.5 out of 200 on their 2nd leg.
This 3rd place ribbons is a good reminder of how training
never stops. Like any race car, athlete, or a person that
has specified job, keeping up with training is a must if you
want to maintain top results. This 3rd place ribbon was a
great win. But, it could have been a 2nd or 1st place. Due
to our busy training schedule and some bad weather, we did
not get out to train as much as we should have. This is not
only a lesson for us, but for anyone with a dog. If you want
your dog to behave and perform its obedience, you must keep
them tuned. Tuning your dog could be going back for brush
up classes. It can also be training on your own with the training
that you used to create your dog when you 1st got them. You
never stop thinking. Neither does your dog.

Harry and Arko competed on May 18th 2008 at the Long Island
Kennel Club in Roslyn NY. The Open A Class had 9 competitors.
Harry and Arko came in 3rd place with a score of 190 out of
200. This was an improvement of 5 ½ points from the
last competition.
Between working, training dogs, home construction, and planning
a wedding, Arko and I managed to get some training time in.
We took another 3rd place ribbon and scored 5 ½ points
higher than our last show. This was the last leg on completing
Arko’s CDX title.
Harry and Arko were invited on the The
Moning Show with Mike & Juliet. A few days
prior to this segment, a German Shepherd saved his owners
life by dialing 911. This service dog was trained to dial
911 when his owner had a seizure. Mike and Harry discussed
and demonstrated training a dog to retrieve a phone or touch
a phone to dial 911.
Neiko is the Son of Xano (Great grand-son to
the famous Czech dog, GRIM Z
POHRANICNI STRAZE ) and daughter of Juza (granddaughter of
Cello v. d. Romerau, one of the top producing European bred
dogs). He has tremendous drive, speed, strength and confidence.
His ability to read body language when you approach us is
extraordinary. Neiko would be a phenomenal police dog and
is a schutzhund trainers dream.
During the summer we take the dogs to Kismet Beach on Fire
Island. Here you will see Neiko jumping over 3 foot breakers
into 5 to 6 foot waves only to appear with his ball.
Like Arko, Neiko is a Czechoslovakian
German Shepherd. He is taller and longer than Arko, Neiko
weighs in at a lean 90lbs and has not filled in yet.
Neiko is a great dog that carried the quality genetics of
his parents and has the drive to accelerate in all aspect
of training. His grand parents are Deil Keboed & For a
Vom Haus Safko, who are from famous Czech
Border Patrol Working lines known for producing long life,
health and strong vitality.
January
23rd 2008 | Harry & Neiko on The Moning Show with Mike
& Juliet
The AKC announced the top 10 most popular dogs
for 2007. The German Shepherd was number 3. Harry and Neiko
were invited on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet to
represent the German Shepherd breed.
This is our friend’s 12 year old
son and Asha playing a game of obedience and fetch on
their 2nd meeting. Their 1st game of fetch was at our
house one week prior. March 2007
Asha’s parents are Xano and Shatzi. This makes Asha
Neiko’s half sister. Asha was purchased
from Hudson Valley
K9 Academy. Her owners raised her until she was nine months
old. Her owner’s claim she was aggressive with people,
aggressive with dogs and was very difficult to handle.They took Asha to a “Professional” dog
trainer in upstate NY. The report the “Professional”
dog trainer gave according to the owners was, this is a working
line German Shepherd that, can not live in a home, can not
live with a family, can not live with other dogs, should live
in a kennel, has to have a working job, and should only be
in a working home, not a family environment. When asked if
he would train her, the “Professional Trainer”
stated, she can not be trained to live in a regular home.
With this information, She was returned to Hudson
Valley K9 Academy. Bob has sent Asha to us. We will enter
her into our Behavior Modification
& In-House Obedience program. Asha will be educated
with care. She will NOT be forced by hammering
corrections, swatted with a newspaper, shock therapy, pinned
down or food bribing. With the assistance or our training
techniques, Asha will take a position in our pack. This is
the same program that we put Max through.
Asha’s progress will be posted weekly:
July 28th - August 4th, 2006: Week One.
We picked up Asha form HVK9A
on July 28th, 2006. She will be given a week to get acclimated
to her new environment with us on Long Island. She will not
start our On-Leash Obedience
course until her second week with us. We will continue setting
the foundation that Bob owner of HVK9A
started.
We have been working on and resolved the following issues
without compulsive training, shocking, pinning her down or
food bribing:
Aggressive toward other dogs on walk.
(learned behavior)
Aggressive towards people on walks.
(learned behavior)
Aggressive toward women when in a crate or behind a fence.
(Social Issues from negative experience)
Rushing out of her crate.
(learned behavior)
Jumping on people for affection.
(learned behavior)
Jumping on counters
(learned behavior)
Mouthing and biting hands.
(learned behavior)
Running out the door
(learned behavior)
Days 1 – 4 were successful. Asha has learned to behave
on her walks. She no longer shows aggression towards people
and other pets on low distraction walks, doesn’t pull
on her walks, no longer rushes out of her create or the front
door, or jump on us. We have made great progress with her
aggression toward women when she is behind a fence or in a
crate. Most important, Asha has not shut down or gone into
avoidance during her sessions. She shows no fear or aggression
towards Harry while he handles her.
We took Asha to a local strip mall on day 5 and 6. On day
5 Asha had her eye on everyone with the hair on her back slightly
raised. She was NOT trying to eat everyone.
There was an increase in pedestrian traffic on day 6. Asha
still walked with confidence but did not have her hair raised.
Some folks gather close to see Asha. They were amazed by her
manors and striking looks. The bond with between Asha and
Harry created with the handler techniques gave Asha enough
trust to lay down and relax on her own with the crowd around
us.
Asha Currently
Lives in our home with 3 other working line German Shepherds
Lives with our family
Lives with other guest dogs that we watch
Her only job as of now will be to perform her obedience
and playing fetch like any other dog.
Neiko : Asha : Arko : Juza
Asha is clearly a genetically sound dog. She is very confident
and has great drive. She overflows with affection towards
her handler. She is currently living in our home with Arko,
Juza, and Neiko.
We are building her foundation. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY OBEDIENCE
WORK WITH HER AT THIS TIME.
Her aggression towards women in a crate is a social issue
from negative actions toward her when crated. The dogs crate
is a place of comfort for the dog. You should never punish,
bang on, tease, or throw things at your dog while they are
in their place of comfort/crate.
Praising or holding a tight leash when a dog is barking at
a person or another dog can create aggression toward people
and pets. Handlers want there dog to be tough and praise the
dog for alerts without understanding the full affect of what
they are building. Sometimes handlers keep a tight leash when
people and other dogs pass. This sends a message to the dog
that something is wrong firing up the dog. The handler creates
both situations. It is important to have the right foundation
along with an obedience technique that teaches the dog clarity
and control before praising behaviors that can be dangerous.
“If the leash is tight,
you create a fight”
For folks looking for quick fixes. Good Luck! Creating the
dog you want comes with time, patients and the right handler
technique. Some of the common issues created by rough handling
and forcing the dog into behaving are, dogs that are afraid
of their handlers, dogs that are aggressive toward their handlers,
and dogs that work out of fear. Short cuts create dogs that
humans considered dumb, crazy, reckless and aggressive. To
avoid this, we take the time to tailor our courses to the
dog and owner. We don’t take any shortcuts or use quick
fix gimmicks in our training.
“What you create today you are going to
have to live with tomorrow.”
August 5th - 11th, 2006: Week Two.
We started training Asha on our On-Leash Training program.
She is progressing rapidly and performs her heeling, automatic
sit during heeling, front sits, recalls, and downs. Asha understands
all of these skills in English and Czech. We also started
teaching her to finish on the left during a recall. To exercise
her mind , we are teaching Asha how to fetch and drop the
item. Asha loves long walks and allows us to brush her out
at the park. She is submissive to us on her own. While lying
on the floor she turns her belly up to us to play. Asha was
NEVER forced to do this.
August 12 - 18th, 2006: Week Three.
Asha now eats in the same room with all of our dogs. There
are no food aggression issues.
Juza, Neiko, Arko, & Asha eating together.
Her obedience has progressed. We are working the “Check”
movement where the dog is taught to finish on the left side.
Heeling, automatic sits during heeling, front sits, downs,
and short distance recall, are now being worked with low to
higher levels of distraction in town. We took Asha to the
local pet store that allows pets. She did great with the distractions
in the store. We walked around the store for 10 minuets then
worked her obedience with no problems.
Holly can approach the crate without Asha showing aggression.
Asha also has submitted to Holly. She rolls over on her back
to play with Holly. Holly has NEVER had to
pin Asha down.
Pining a dog down to show it who’s the boss is a great
way to ruin your bond and get your face and or arms mauled.
This is why we educate our dogs on who’s the pack leader,
and don’t start our relationship off fighting the dog
into submission.
August 19th - 25th, 2006: Week Four.
We continue to educate Asha on how to behave in and out of
the house. She continues to accelerate in her obedience. Below
are some pictures of us working Asha in town.
Harry & Asha In Town on Week 4
Holly working Asha in Town Saturday August 19th.
Three weeks ago, Holly could not get near Asha's crate. Now
Holly put her in her crate, feeds her, walks her, and works
her.
Asha in town with a in a down stay while a child
walks past her and Harry.
Here is Asha working while a young couple gets
out of a car. We then follow the couple to show Asha is not
aggressive towards them.
Harry and Asha take a seat. Pedestrians walk
passed them with no negative reactions from Asha.
A young couple walks by, and then stops to talk to us. We
talked for about 15 min. They did a great job raising their
dogs. Thanks for the information on the restaurant. We order
food to go.
We finished the day heeling across the street and passing
more pedestrians with no negative behavior.
August 26th - September 1st, 2006: Week Four.
We continue to educate Asha on how to behave in and out of
the house. She continues to accelerate in her obedience.
End of 4 weeks.
Asha has completed our 4-week
Behavior Modification & In-House Obedience program.
She is the same energetic confident dog that we took into
our home in July. Her spirit has not been broken. Her behavior
is 360 degrease from day picked her up. This is a great example
of how her past behavior was created by improper handling.
You don’t have to be a professional trainer to raise
a dog like Asha. You do need to consult with a trainer that
understands how to handle dogs with out bribing, shock therapy,
and hard corrections on a collar. The foundation that Asha
has today is based on communicating with a language that she
understands, not the language of the rolled up newspaper.
The education does not stop here. With any dog, you always
use and practice your foundation and obedience techniques
throughout the dogs life.
Unlike Max and Cooper,
Asha will be staying with us. She will continue on to our
Distraction Course and Advanced
Obedience Course. We will be joining HVK9’s in home
breeding program again where Asha will be bred in 2007.
Many owners are misled by trainers that don’t know
or understand how to read, handle and raise dogs. When their
bribing and compulsive techniques fail on a dog, the trainer
will tell you the dog is no good and cannot live in that home.
You may get the same report Asha was given and give up a perfectly
good dog. Asha is a great case of how it is clearly not the
dog, but how the dog was handled and the improper advice that
her past owners were given by the “Professional Trainer”.
The trainer the evaluated Asha is located upstate NY. To
avoid having your dog missed diagnosed on it’s behavior
contact USA K9 or HVK9A
“Save a dog, train it’s
owner”
Why waist great talent?
Now that Asha is a happier dog, we decided not to waist this
talent and have some fun with her.
CONGRATULATIONS to Asha on her Tier
4 treadmill title.
Marty of Martins K9 Formula
has invited us to title Asha on a self-propelled treadmill
to see what she is capable of. The titles range from Tier
1 to Tier 4; Tier 4 is the highest title. Dogs must perform
the following task to achieve the Tier 4 title.
Run with confidence uphill for a duration of one minute.
Run with confidence downhill for a duration of one minute.
The dog must turn from the uphill to the downhill position
with confidence.
Bite a sleeve with confidence on the uphill run for duration
of one minute.
Bite a sleeve with confidence on the downhill run for
duration of one minute.
Bite a sleeve with confidence on the uphill run, and
then pull the decoy into the treadmill for the duration
of one minute.
Bite a sleeve with confidence on the downhill run, and
then pull the decoy into the treadmill for duration of one
minuet.
Remain in a sit or down position on the uphill for a
duration of one minute after performing the above task.
Asha was worked for a ½ hour once a week. She achieved
her Tier 3 title
on week three of working on the treadmill and was given her
Tier 4 title on week four.
We thank Marty for the invite and his work on keeping dogs
healthy.
ASHA TREADMILL TRAINING
Below is a video of Asha working out on a dog treadmill. Asha
has titled Tier 4 on her 4th time on a treadmill. The Tier
4 Title consists of an up hill run, down hill run, up hill
run with a bite, a down hill run with a bite. Once the dog
had engaged in the bite, it must continue to pull the decoy
into the treadmill for one minuet on the up hill and down
hill bite. Marty from Martin's K9 Formula has considered creating
a tier 5 title. This would require the dog to bite a hidden
sleeve or bite suit along with a clatter sticks as a distraction.
Asha and I have this covered.
Asha Treadmill Workout
ASHA ON THE POOL PLANK & SWIMMING
We try to find different ways to have fun with our dogs. All
of our dogs are capable of performing the task you see in
this video. The catwalk in this video is 8 inches wide and
17 feet long. Our dogs not only run across it but perform
obedience with confidence. This is a great way to exercise
your dog on a hot summer day.
Cooper is a 9 month old Yellow Labrador Retriever
I acquired from a wonderful family on Long Island. Cooper’s
original parents were looking for a medium size dog with moderate
drive to be a family dog. What they wound up with was a lean
100lbs lab at a year old with excessive drive.
Cooper is not what you consider your average
lab. He grew to about the size of a young Great Dane. He had
enough drive to put is head into a sheetrock wall and keep
playing with Arko as if nothing happened.
Cooper performed his obedience well but was
way to much dog for this family. After thinking it over the
family was kind enough to give me Cooper. I kept Cooper and
continued to train him.
I found Cooper a home further out on Long Island.
A young couple adopted him. They have other Labradors in their
immediate family for Cooper to play with and a very large
yard where he can exhaust some of his energy. I see Cooper
every couple of months and am very happy to see he is doing
well.
During November of 2005 we were visiting Long
Island Wantagh Animal Shelter to donate food. During our visit
I was reading dog behaviors. I was amazed to find several
purebreds, which included a young Sharpe, Bernese Mountain
Dog, and a Rottweiler. The Rottweiler is about 1 ½
to 2 years old and was considered to be a mix – clearly
he is not a mixed breed. I can only guess they claimed him
as a mix to increase his chances of being adopted.
Max was going on his 7th week at the pound.
This puts him at risk should the pound have to put some dogs
down. I could only think that it would be horrible to leave
him here. Knowing how to handle a dog of this caliber. We
decided to take Max home.
When I got Max home, I gave him a warm bath where he nuzzled
his head against me. Sitting in the pound for so long, Max
has experienced muscle atrophy. He was a bony 85lbs with a
huge head. Max was easily 20 lbs under weight, and had diarrhea
with blood in it. We immediately switched his diet to Martins
K9 Formula, Martins Pro biotic with enzymes, Nupro, straight
flack seed oil, raw meat for a clean protein and rice to help
tighten the stool.
We also started applying our training techniques covered
in our Puppy Class and Evaluation
Class. These techniques have helped Max adjust rapidly
to his new environment, which allowed us to start obedience
training immediately.
Our goal was to nurse Max back to a health, keep him socialized,
train him and find him a home.
A family adopted Max in February 2006 They have 2 girls ages
3 and 6. They all love him and can’t get enough of each
other. I couldn’t ask for a better home for him. He
has proven to be a wonderful dog. I hate to think what would
have happened if I left him there that day in November.
Espy is a working line Dobernan Pinscher from the HVK9A's
breeding program. He is the brother to Czar who was purchased
form HVK9A and
is currently owed by Megan of NYDOBERMANS.COM.
A young lady who is a single mom purchased Espy. Espy attended
my Puppy Program and On-Leash
Obedience Program. He was very social with dog and people.
The single mom was on her second pregnancy and could not give
Espy the same attention and care he needed.
HVK9A's contract
requires if you cannot keep your dog you must return him/her
to HVK9A and
not send him to the pound. Bob Conklin does this to ensure
his dogs go to good homes. Espy lived with Bob Conklin and
his pack for 2 months where he observed Espy’s behavior
to make sure he was still a well-balanced dog.
I placed Espy in his new home in Manorville where he has
a new family with children, horses, and several acres of land
to play on. It is easier to find a home for a dog that comes
from solid breeding and trained properly.
Malory was a 5 month old Belgian Malinoise who was an impulse
buy. This caring family lost their loyal German Shepherd Dog.
Their GSD was social and affectionate.
After losing their GSD they purchased Malory from someone
that had a 2nd accidental litter. The mother of this puppy
was highly aggressive. This puppy came from a sport breeding
line. Many German Shepherds and Malinoises that are breed
for sport are different from a working line dog. The sport
dogs are often high pray, high defense, and insecure. Problems
can surface when a dog like this is placed in a home that
does not have the experience handling this temperament.
Part of being a good trainer is recognizing when the dog
can be too much for the owner. Part of being a good pet owner
is recognizing when the dog is too much work for the family.
Malory’s family realized she was way too much dog for
them. Malory was showing signs of aggression from being overly
defensive and insecure. Sometimes this behavior can be trained
out of the dog but the end result would still be the same.
This was too much dog for this family. Malory’s family
held on to her until they could find her a new home. I referred
several sport and competition trainers on Long Island along
with the Belgian Malinoise rescue. A trainer that works with
the Malinoise rescue contacted Malory’s owners. Malorys
owners spared no expense to make sure she did not end up in
the dog pound. I drove Malory to Newark Airport where her
owners arranged her flight to her new home in Atlanta. Malory’s
new owners will be training her to work for the Atlanta PD.
This 5 month old Rottweiler was an impulse purchase.
With other dogs, children and a busy life, this family was
soon overwhelmed.
After working with the family for several weeks
they realized this was not the best time and breed of dog
for them and asked If I new anyone that could take her in.
This young Rottweiler was placed very fast. I had a customer
that was looking for a Rottweiler for several months.
The Rottweiler is now in a home with an owner
that has owned the breed and has more time to work with her.
Being a good pet owner is knowing when a dog can have a better
life in another home.
This is Gunner. He is a 2.5 year old Doberman
Pinscher. Gunner’s owner was is extreme poor health
and could no longer take care of him. Gunner spent 6 weeks
at the Oakdale
Animal Hospital. After his 6th week Gunner’s owner
regretfully had to turn him over because she could no longer
care for him do to her declining health. The Hospital could
not keep him and was trying to find him a home so they could
avoid sending him to the local animal shelter.
I heard about Gunners situation and decided
to visit Oakdale
Animal Hospital. Upon arrival, one of the employees was
playing with him. At a glance, I new he was a terrific dog
that should not spend a day in the shelter. The Hospital was
willing to let me take him home for the weekend. It was clear
this Doberman was not coming back unless it was for a check
up.
Gunner was placed in a home in Patchhouge.
His owners live in a home with other dogs and children that
get to play with him.
Dogs Name: Gunner
Dogs Breed: Doberman Pinscher
Dogs Gender: Male/Neutered
Dogs Age: 2.5 years
Gunner is social with people and other dogs. He lived with
our pack.
