Physicality

After our previous German Shepherd protection dog passed away we started researching who we should use to find our next German Shepherd. A year later, after carefully researching every protection dog trainer/company available in the U.S. we decided to go with the very best of the best, Kempkes Executive! Today we are the proud owners of Canus Rabidus Chuck, a sable German Shepherd imported working dog from Germany by Kempkes Executive. Michael & Jeannette Kempkes, the operators, are the foremost experts on German Shepherds in the U.S. Their German-type European efficiency, reputation, and expertise is unparalleled in the U.S! They will find your perfect dog according to your specifications. The Kempkes will take you by your hand and guide you through your German Shepherd purchase step by step, from initial talk thru selection, purchase, delivery, and solid follow-up after delivery. Jeannette & Michael both pride themselves on total honesty. They also make the greatest genuine friends with their super-likable personalities, open communication, and top expert dog advice. They will get you one of the best pure-bred protection dogs that Germany has to offer. Our Kempkes-acquired German Shepherd “Chuck” was provided with his exact lineage with names (most with pictures) of his every ancestor back to 1890 (verifiable online)! Most other operators would typically ship the dog to you and leave you on your own with your new dog. The Kempkes VIP client treatment did not end after they personally delivered Chuck to our house. After delivery they are continuously communicating with us  to get Chuck best adjusted in his new home!

From the moment we connected with Michael and Jeannette at Kempkes Executive K9s, we knew we had found something special. They are absolutely FANTASTIC, and we are incredibly appreciative of the profound impact they've had on our sable German Shepherd Dog, Jackson. Jackson, who is almost two years old, was in need of obedience reinforcement. Living in San Diego, we were facing a few challenges, particularly with his dog reactivity. Walks had become stressful, and getting him to relax, walk calmly on a leash, and consistently listen to our commands felt like an uphill battle. After just 2.5 weeks in their expert care, the transformation in Jackson is nothing short of remarkable. He is noticeably calmer, his leash manners have dramatically improved, and his responsiveness to our commands is consistent and reliable. Michael and Jeannette didn't just train Jackson; they provided us with the tools and confidence to continue his progress at home. If you're looking for dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly effective dog trainers who genuinely care about the well-being and success of your dog and your family, look no further than Executive K9 Wüstenberger-Land. They are miracle workers, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking to improve their dog's behavior and their own peace of mind. Thank you, Michael and Jeannette, for giving us back our calm, happy Jackson!

Both Jeanette and Michael have been beyond helpful when it comes to choosing or training our Shepherds, if I could give them 10 STARS I would! In 2007, my dad bought a German Shepherd from Germany on his own. We did not who Michael was at the time. We sent him to so many trainers because he was dog aggressive and they all sent him back with a full refund! Our last hope was Jeanette and Michael. Michael was, and will always be the only dog trainer who never gave up on him and could train our dog successfully. After he passed of old age, my family decided we needed another Shepherd but this time purchased directly from Jeanette and Michael so we knew the upbringing and characteristics of the dog. We have a couple Shepherds from them because they are the BEST dogs (great temperament and great health). Hip issues are a big concern for Shepherd owners and Michael’s dogs are so carefully bred or hand picked that they will not have hip issues throughout life. Even though the Shepherds may seem costly at first, trust me you will save thousands from vet bills if you purchase from someone negligent. I am eternally grateful to have been connected with Jeanette and Michael as they both have helped my family choose and train our dogs. If you are unsure of getting a new family dog or a new companion, please do not hesitate to call Jeanette. She is so kind and willing to answer your questions and help choose the best dog for you or your family. All the Shepherds in the photos are from Wustenburgerland and the Black German Shepherd is bred by Jeanette.

Jeannette and Michael are the BEST! They are the dream team! About two years ago, I reached out to Jeannette, wanting a male shepherd that has a specific look, and pretty much a list of requirements. Soon after that, Jeannette told me she has a puppy in mind that she thinks would be the one for me. After going to their ranch and meeting the puppy in person, HE IS THE ONE! Jeannette answered all my questions and taught me how to take care of a shepherd. Michael is the best trainer, he is a German shepherd whisper! Michael is always there to help and he taught me so much about the techniques of handling a German shepherd. Most importantly Jeannette and Michael they always answer their phones, whenever I have some questions, I can call or text them anytime, they are always there to help and find solutions for me. That makes me feel so at ease and comfortable with my shepherd. Overall this is just an amazing experience with Jeannette and Michael! And my German shepherd totally changed my life for the better!
