I did NOT to sign up for dog obedience classes here, I only went through the consultation while I was searching for a trainer, and this introduction turned me off completely and made me run in the other direction. Here's why: My ONLY problem with my new foster dog was that she pulled on leash very badly (in a happy way - chasing lizards etc. - NEVER any aggression or reactivity - just the happiest of dogs, an excited foster that was just LOVING life and discovering new smells and things every day on walks). She weighed 60 lbs so when she decided to pull, it was a struggle - I knew I could handle it but any potential adopting parents would struggle, and it was my goal to get her adopted so I could foster another dog - and get dogs out of the shelter. I was told the initial consultation would be about 45 minutes to an hour (where Fritz would evaluate my dog), so I drove my dog up there to the academy, and the consultation was this: I walked with my dog by my side on leash about 30 yards in one direction and then back, while he watched. And that was it!!!!! He did not walk with her, or engage with her in any way, just watched me walk with her and made the decision. He decided that I needed a minimum of 10 classes at $200 each (which shocked me - just to do basic leash training?) - AND he said there would be use of a prong collar. THAT was a shock - I had a HAPPY, sweet, SENSITIVE but strong dog, and using a prong collar was OUT OF THE QUESTION - the fact that HE hadn't even tried to walk with her on leash (even though he knew she was friendly and totally unaggressive) bothered me. He seemed afraid to and I had been hoping to see how HE would walk with her and make her behave better on the leash. I wanted to see HIM in action, so he could demonstrate some skills to me. A prong collar? ABSOLUTELY NO WAY. He kept telling me it's all about commitment (I think really it's about money!), that it would be 3 times a week and WAS I COMMITTED ENOUGH TO DO THAT? I felt almost like I was being reprimanded. I told him it was outside my price range and that I didn't believe she needed 10 sessions and I wasn't in favor of a prong collar. This kind of HARSH training with prong collars may be required for seriously aggressive dogs, but MY DOG DID NOT NEED IT. He only seems to know one way to train dog - with negative reinforcement, and that's not me. I REFUSE to afflict any pain or punishment to a dog that had already been through a terrible life. I ended up using a WONDERFUL dog trainer who ONLY used positive reinforcement and a slip collar - who came to my house for each session and charged 40% LESS - his first consultation was an hour and he walked with her, engaged with her, all with NO PUNISHMENT OR PRONG COLLAR - just kindness - and showed me within that first session what she could be like - within 5 minutes, she was obedient with him (he is really gifted in how he interacts with dogs - he's like a dog whisperer) - and I signed up for 6 lessons on the spot, after seeing how amazing he was because I wanted her to obey me like she was already obeying him. So the training I signed up with was more to train ME how to communicate with HER. I completed four of the training sessions with the new trainer and saw HUGE results - and then a Thanksgiving miracle happened - a young couple down the road who had fallen in love with my dog adopted her! So I donated the final two training sessions to them, so they could put the finishing touches on leash walking - but she was HUGELY improved by then - WITHOUT A PRONG COLLAR, AND ONLY WITH POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, A SLIP COLLAR, AND KINDNESS (AND DOG TREATS TO REINFORCE HER GOOD BEHAVIOUR). The trainer I got treated my dog like an individual - he designed a 6 session training course for MY dog - didn't just treat her like he treated all the other dogs (10 lessons and prong collars)! It bothered me SO much that Shultz was so quick to insist on a prong collar and so many lessons and was so insensitive to my dog's needs that I feel compelled to write this review. More...

This is the best place to have your dog trained. I did the 2 week on-leash obedience board and train for my 2-year-old Pit Bull and not only is his demeanor is so much more calm but he is doing a lot better at listening to us and obeying our commands. During his 2 week stay K9 Shultz was very helpful and communicative with any questions or concerns I had. They even gave me advice for other things outside of on-leash training and I can reach out at any time for any other help I need. I had full faith that my dog was in very good hands. I 100% recommend K9 Shultz for anyone looking to do any sort of training for their dog! More...

My experience with them have been nothing but sheer excellence. I HIGHLY recommend Shultz K9 Enforcement Inc for your dog's training. My German shepherd dog has received top notch basic training. And I can truly say that, because before taking my dog to them, he exhibited ""hard headness" disobedience and constant nipping and biting. Once he completed the training, he was more alert to the commands and more calm.The nipping was reduced significantly. I picked up a different dog within the two weeks he was there. I am truly satisfied with what was done. Let me tell you, you won't be disappointed in choosing them for your dog's training needs and care. Your pet will be in great hands!! I promise. Thank you Shultz and my trainer Matt!!❤️ More...

We brought our 4 month old wild puppy to Fritz for a 2 week board and train. Prior to bringing her in she was reactive and excitable to a point of complete frustration. We have two young boys with nonverbal autism, both on opposite ends of the spectrum and unfortunately for our puppy she was getting mixed feedback and inconsistent corrections which deepened the problem. We also have teams of therapists and analysts that are in and out of the house daily. To put it lightly, her maladaptive behaviors were taking a toll on everyone. After a detailed interview and intake, Fritz and his team took our unruly puppy and returned to me a calm, well mannered and affectionate pup. She had a moment after I picked her up today where she broke from her sit position next to me, quickly corrected herself and sat back down and looked to me for direction. At this point, she is barely 5 months old. She has come so far in such a short period. I am excited to continue training with her and to work with this team in the future. More...

Let me start off by saying I did not use this facility for training but I did go in for a consultation. This is mostly for my ladies but this place gave me car dealership vibes. The owner was so rude, kept talking to me like I’m small and kept cutting me off in conversation like he’s so superior. He was very cold towards my dog as well didn’t even pet her at all. I was sharing my frustrations about how I’m having a hard time potty training my puppy and he told me to STOP FEEDING her until she learns. Horrible experience 0/10. Do not leave your dogs with this company. EDIT: It was your facility and you probably don’t have a record of me because i never signed up for your training because you told me to stop feeding my dog. You were in a horrible location behind a bunch of auto places with limited parking. Car dealership vibes means when men belittle women. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. More...

Shultz k9 enforcement, was the last option I decided on before giving away my 7 year old Maltese. My dog was not well behaved, aggressive, anxious, not potty trained, and just all around a bad dog. He was creating so much havoc in the household I almost didn’t know what else to do. Thankfully I took the leap to send him to their boarding school program. To say it worked right off the bat would be unrealistic, it takes a village to make a change. Therefore, they provided me with the training I needed as well, in order to be able to bring home what my dog was taught at the school. I stuck to it and put my full commitment and IT WORKED WONDERS! My dog is very well behaved and attentive to the commands I give. He has made a complete 180. I no longer have to refer him as an unfriendly dog to others, and he is pretty much a people pleaser now! I thank shultz k9 for putting in so many hours with this training program and essentially granting me the ability to remain with my dog. More...

“K9 Shultz, did an amazing job with my Cane Corso-Panther, boarding-training & in private lessons with me. They care a lot & are experts in terms of training & caring for the dogs/owners. I could not recommend a better dog trainer-boarding center. I am extremely satisfied & grateful & look forward to boarding Panther again their soon,” written by Heather Larkin. “After bringing Panther home I am amazed at his progress. His listening skills are far superior, I can leave all my decorative pillows out, he no longer goes near the coach, he is content where I tell him to go. He is glued to my left thigh when we walk/heel, & no longer responds to strangers-engagements(human/k9). So grateful to Mr. Shultz & his expert team.” More...

Our chocolate lab (not yet 2 yrs) was very stubborn and hyper, even after puppy training. He wouldn't obey commands without being given treats. Our vet recommended Shultz K9. After initial evaluation, we left him for two weeks for basic training while on a vacation. We were completely satisfied with the results. He is now well behaved on the leash (even in the car) and follows commands without having to be rewarded. Even our neighbors noticed a complete turnaround. Shultz provided follow up visits and worked with us to reinforce his good behavior. Everyone we have encountered at Shultz has been friendly and accommodating. They are very thorough and actually watch you work with the dog during follow-up to correct what you may be doing wrong. We are hoping to continue with off-leash training soon. More...

Once they were confident he was ready I was give the go ahead to pick him up and start MY training on how to handle him properly.

We brought home an eighteen month old pointer mix from the shelter who was heart worm positive. Kelce was terrible on the leash and the techniques we used to leash train other dogs did not work on him. He pulled incessantly and lunged at every dog, squirrel, lizard or leaf that moved. As he would soon begin his heart worm treatment which required him to be calm and quiet for two months, we were quickly running out of time to get him under control. Overactivity during this treatment time could result in his death, so we began to look for some professional help. We engaged Shultz K-9 Enforcement, Inc for training. We were only able to get 9 training sessions in before Kelce’s treatment began. Shultz gave us all the techniques and tools to manage his treatment period in just a few sessions and ALWAYS was responsive to our questions and requests. Kelce is much better on his walks and remains calm when engaging with the world. Additionally, we had tools to calm him down in the home. We’re happy to say Kelce made it through the treatment period. We are not exaggerating when we say that Shultz K-9 Enforcement, Inc saved his life. Now that Kelce is through with treatment, he will be getting further training with Shultz K-9. More...

What inspired you to start your own business?
I started as a regular client in 2010 in Miami,FL enrolling my German Shepherd pup named K9 SJ into classes for obedience with GK9S Inc. As K9 SJ grew, he went through the different levels of obedience and started Personal Protection Training in 2012 where he was proven to be proficient in apprehension. The following year in mid 2013 One Evening after sundown, I received a phone call from a neighbor regarding someone trying to make a forced entry on the property and heard someone discharging a weapon, so when I got to the property it was K9 SJ that got killed. Apparently K9 SJ had put up a fight with the bad guys and one of them had a weapon and shot K9 SJ where he died on the scene. That was a huge impact for me because the dog getting killed was one thing, the expenses I invested on the dog, but the main thing that I was thinking “what if I never got the dog trained???? The bad guys would of successfully made it onto the property and hurt someone. K9 SJ did exactly what he was trained for. To Protect. I notified the trainer that was training K9 SJ about the incident that happened and coming to find out that the trainer E. Gonzalez was a Retired K9 Sergeant. So instead of me getting another dog trained I signed up for a Cynology Course with GK9S Inc. and became a Full Time Kennel Worker for GK9S Inc. where I started The BiTeLiFe Movement and was the voice behind it before it was copyrighted. In 2015 I was Certified as a Behaviorist, Certified in Personal Protection, Certified in Scent Detection, and recognized as a Decoy, Agitator, received a Certification as a Professional Cynologist (Dog Trainer). I opened a corporation called Shultz K9 Enforcement Inc. in 2015 and became the business voice of South Florida.
