About Wolfsbane K9

Wolfsbane K9 works from 2427 Stanley Valley Road in Surgoinsville and describes itself as a breeder and trainer of Belgian Malinois, with training open to “Every Breed and Age” rather than only its own dogs.

Programs it publishes

The training page lists obedience training, personal protection, a “Board and Train Fast Track” of one month concentrating on basic obedience, a longer board-and-train for clients outside driving distance, private sessions in the client’s home, and puppy training. The home page gives durations for two of them: obedience runs “8-16 weeks” and personal protection is “Available for suitable dogs beginning at approximately 6–8 months”. Puppy work is described as house training, crate training, bite inhibition, social confidence, basic commands and calm behavior in everyday situations.

How they describe the method

The site states: “Training works when it is fair, direct, and consistent… We focus on communication, not force. We build respect, not fear.” It says every program starts with an honest evaluation of “temperament, age, drive, home environment, and goals” and that protection training “should never be one-size-fits-all”.

Service area

In-home private sessions are offered “in the greater Tri-Cities TN/VA area with flexible times”, each session normally an hour and extendable. Dogs are also placed with clients nationally and internationally.

What to ask

Ask about prices and any third-party certification. The business states it has been breeding and training Belgian Malinois since 1983 and repeats a figure of over forty years’ experience; that is its own claim, recorded as published.
