The GSD Crew
The CCEG German Shepherd Dog Boot Camp Class started out of a need to have a more formal approach to training because of the temperament and behaviour issues of some of GSD’s in general classes.
The Boot Camp Class isn’t for all owners (although the dogs seem to enjoy it) and some do give up, over the years however one group of dogs and owners became known as " The Crew", this was due to the hard work and determination of a unique group of handlers with outstanding dogs which at the start all had training or behaviour issues.
The Crew worked to an advanced level in Obedience, Tracking, Scent, Search and close socialisation. Classes at the start were 90 minutes long (with a break in the middle)

GSD Inka a sudden and devastating loss at only 8 years a life too short. A beautiful girl in every way
GSD Nikita 20 months (Feb 2023) joined us not to replace a lost dog which can never be done but a continuation of my love for this breed.
Tracey
had been with us for 32 years Instructing for 26 years. She has attended Courses on Training, Instructing and Behaviour including 3 five-day Courses 2 of these as a trainer. Had taken the puppy class at CCEG for 20 years she has helped 1000's of puppies have better owners!! She is an experienced 'hands on' horse and dog person and knowledgeable trainer.
It was with great sadness and shock that after a sudden illness Tracey's GSD Perry was PTS on the 18th May 2021 at only 7 years it was a life far too short but that short life was lived to the full.
A founder member of the 'Crew' he will be remembered always with love by us all.

Many years of training under his belt and took classes at Iolanda GSD Kennels till it closed in 2022
“No matter how close we are to another person, few human relationships are as free from strife, disagreement, and frustration as is the relationship you have with a good dog. Few human beings give of themselves to another as a dog gives of itself. I also suspect that we cherish dogs because their unblemished souls make us wish - consciously or unconsciously - that we were as innocent as they are, and make us yearn for a place where innocence is universal and where the meanness, the betrayals, and the cruelties of this world are unknown.”
