A while back I bought a German Shepherd puppy from a very reliable breeder in New York. After our beloved pet, Gretta, was about 2 years old, we decided that it would be nice to have her shutzhund trained to better protect our family.
We contacted a Mr. Clayton Warichak (who has a partner named Johnathan Drenski) and he told us that she would have to be evaluated and that the shutzhund training lasted 12 weeks and would cost about $900.
My family and I thought long and hard about this decision, and decided to send her for the 12 week course based on her passing her evaluation.
Well, Gretta passed her eval with them and then started her 12 weeks of training. We were always updated as to her progress. Always hearing about how well she was doing. We were so excited when she was due home. We never realized how much our house was not a home without her.
We also never realized the monster she would be turned into. We don't know what they did to her, but our guess is that they brutally abused her. When we got her home, we were afraid to uncrate her. Everytime me or my wife came near the crate she would bare her teeth and growl at us. We forbid our children to even approach her.
Our vet prescribed sedatives to give her. We have to mix them with her food everyday! This is no way for her to have to live. We ultimately regret ever sending her. Hindsight being 20/20, we would rather have had a spoiled lap dog of a shepherd than a doped up guard dog. Hopefully in time, she will forget her training and calm done as she gets older.
I decided to post my story, of being robbed of my family's dog, after stumbling upon what he's done to other people. The internet definitely makes this a small world, doesn't it Clayton.
