IGuard International has been a wonderful place to transact business while acquiring a Sevice Dog to help me with some medical issues I've been experiencing. From start to finish...then BEYOND! They follow you the entire time to ensure you have a positive experience with your new German Shepherd! Nick, Jessi, and Cody are beautiful people with a true desire to match the right dog with the right owner! They want all your life details to make sure the customers get the perfect match in a Service Dog! Their training is amazing, as is the entire facility! I'm begging them to open one up in Bellingham, so We can remain family, as is their intention! Stellar group of conscientious Breeders and Trainers!!! Here's our new LOVE AND Service Dog, meet Harley Wommack!!!💋

This has been an unparalleled experience for my family (and close friends) dealing with iGuard over the years, and I’m disappointed in anyone reporting otherwise. Clearly those people have other intentions involved: political, personal, competition, etc.IGuard is worth every penny

I can't recommend I-Guard enough. Everyone on the staff are so kind and caring. They made my boyfriend and I feel like family from the beginning. We picked up our puppy from them about a month ago. She is such an amazing fit for us, and she has a great personality, she's sweet and sassy. Jessi are so helpful, whenever we have questions she always answers anytime of day. Nick is so personable, I've only met him once so far but to see how good he is with our puppy and how much he adores and wants what's best for her makes it clear that we made the best choice for breeders. Every time we bring her to the K9 country club all of the staff drop everything to help. Such incredible staff and people. We will never go to another German Shepard breeder, we're so thrilled to be apart of the I-Guard family.

We searched and spoke with many German Shepherd breeders. Once we connected with Jessie, we felt super comfortable as she did not rush our decision at all, in fact, she was extremely patient and helpful as we made our final choice. So glad we went with I-Guard and her! Our dog, Koda, is one of the most amazing GS's we have seen (we are biased of course :)We are constantly being stopped when we walk him and people ask to take pics at the local pet store. He is amazing with kids and has a friendly disposition. Amazing! We love him very much. Thank you again, Jessie...Koda is the best!

Took Heidi camping for the first time. She was fantastic! She is 15 months old and was the best dog. She had to take a long afternoon nap every day. Thanks Jessi, Nick and Staff at I-Guard International for this great dog.

We wanted two dogs that could both defend our home and still be a part of the family. We got it with these two. When someone comes to the door they let us know, and then they just chill out. It’s exactly what we wanted and needed. Very professional 👍

This is my first experience owning a dog and I-Guard has been amazing. Jessi and Nick picked out the perfect puppy for our family after talking to us to find out our needs/wants. The store is a great resource for all of our needs. Jessi has been an amazing resource for help after we brought Britta home. I would recommend getting a German Shepherd from I-Guard if you are looking for a well trained, loved and beautiful addition to your family. Thanks Jessi! You're the best!

First, I have to say how much of a pleasure it was working with Nick and Jessi. What awesome people! Before we ever met our little boy, they worked with us to make sure that we and our lifestyle were a good fit for him, and that he would be a good fit for us. It was plain to see right from the start that they're not just trying to sell a dog. They want to make sure that their dogs will be in the best possible situations and that their new families will have the best possible match. Nick is incredibly passionate about what he does, and he and Jessi absolutely LOVE their dogs - it is blatantly obvious to see. We so appreciate that and love that about them. And their dogs love them back! When we brought Dexter back in for his initial checkup, he was SO excited to see them.Now about our goodest boy ever, Dexter - we brought home our newest family member a week ago and he has been an absolute joy. It's incredible how well-behaved, fun, loving, and intelligent that he is - he's quite literally the full package! He was 4mo when we brought him home and had already had some training from Nick and the team. We couldn't believe how well he was doing already. They know what they're doing there! He is a fast learner and wants to please, and he's already showing us with his behavior how great of a protector he is going to be. We couldn't ask for more! It's only been a week and my wife and I already completely adore him.I can't possibly recommend I-Guard International enough. They're the real deal and after working with them, I can't honestly imagine going anywhere else for a GSD pup.

Thank you so much for a wonderful addition to our family. You guys are absolutely amazing, from the beginning to the end the process was 5 stars! Jessi is amazing and is always available to help us with any questions. Thank you.

First class breeders! I adore both of my German Shepherds that I purchased from I-Guard. Nick did a wonderful job placing us with two that are a perfect fit for my family. They are absolutely the most beautiful dogs I've ever owned, and better yet, their temperaments are second to none. Extremely tolerant yet confident and aware - my three small children (all under the age of 5) are completely safe around them. The dogs watch out for the boys and are protective over our property. Nick has been very helpful and involved in their training, making sure that the dogs are on track with their education and adapting well in our home. I've always felt I had support from I-Guard through the entire process of making these dogs into "good citizens" and recommend them to anyone looking for a good, protective family dog.

My family and I lost our 3 year old Malamute on the 4th of July. As I was looking for breeders in the Spokane area. I came across I-Guard and gave them a call and spoke with Jessi. We set up a meeting to talk about their German Sheppards and she introduced us to Nick. He listened to our story about our Mal and he matched us up with the perfect German Sheppard for our family, Ace. I was impressed with the knowledge and professionalism that both Jessi and Nick gave to me and my family and feel very fortunate that I made the phone call to I-Guard for our next addition to our family. Since July Nick has reached out to ensure that all is going well on top of training Ace 1 on 1 to help out with my autistic son. Being a 23+ year veteran I believe that trust must be earned and Nick has absolutely earned it in the 7 months of knowing him. Thank you Jessi and Nick for all you have done for my family.

Our experience with I-Guard International has been 10’s across the board. Nick and Jessi have been simply the best. Nick interviewed my partner and I to identify character traits of a dog we were interested in getting. He asked us about our lifestyle, if we had any other pets, if we’ve had German Shepherds before, what our activity levels are like, etc. This was all to identify if we were a good suit for one of his dogs and to truly tailor the puppy that was perfect for us. Well, we have been absolutely blessed with the perfect puppy from this wonderful duo! Xavier, has the most well rounded personality that we could have asked for and truly fits right in with us and our two cats. We have also been blown away by Jessi’s commitment for follow ups and checking in on us and our newest family member. We bring him by their training facility/pet store as much as we can to spoil our pup and to show how much he’s grown! I would recommend this breeder to all of my friends and family. This is the highest quality breeder I’ve met with exceptional service and genuine care for you and your puppy. We have been so impressed we plan on doing our puppy obedience training and doggy daycare with their K9 country club facility. When you get an I-Guard puppy, you are family for life!

We are so impressed with I-Guard International !! My family and I just recently purchased our little puppy Rocky and are in love with him. Jessi is the best!! She is very informative and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. She toured us around the facility (which is amazing) and made us feel like we are apart of their family. Jessi was in constant contact with us on how our puppy was doing prior to him coming home with us. Nick was very welcoming to us and is fantastic with the dogs. We are so excited to be apart of the I-Guard family and are looking forward to adding another I-Guard puppy for our little Rocky. We highly recommend I-Guard International!!

There are many German Shepherd breeders in the US, but none that come even close in comparison to I-Guard International located in Spokane Valley, WA. When my husband and I made the decision to add a new addition to our growing family, we never expected to find a place so amazing. Nick and Jessi are the epitome of caring and professionalism. We have a family of young children and wanted to make sure we found the perfect fit. From the moment we met Nick and Jessi aka “the dream team” and the rest of their staff we immediately saw through their care and training of German Shepherds that we would be taken care of throughout the entire process and beyond. Nick and Jessi were extremely personable and genuine. They took quality time to get to know us personally, our wants, needs and life style to ensure we found the German Shepherd with the perfect temperament. We are ecstatic to have found Nick and Jessi and are grateful to have become a part of the I- Guard family. If you are looking for the perfect German Shepherd, look no further. Don’t wait! Go to I- Guard!- Christina, Chris and Basha

I honestly cannot wrap my head around the negative reviews that I have seen about I Guard and K9. It is quite obvious that the negative attacks are staged and bought.The training facility, the store, the day care center, the staff...... THE BEST! My husband who not only served for over 20 years but who also works with civil and law services has never met a better trainer and human being.Wonderful company, wonderful man, and wonderful vision.

I am a professional dog trainer/behaviourist and do not recommend I-Guard to anyone wanting a well bred, well trained dog at a price that matches that breeding and training. The owner has a horrible attitude about customers and his dogs have pedigrees that don't stand up to their price tags. And he claims "pedigree doesn't matter". Anyone with basic knowledge of GSD breeding and training knows that pedigree is very important when it comes to such a popular breed. In my opinion, I-Gurard is basically the same as a back yard breeder with a lot of money to spend on a nice kennel and high end personal cars.In my opinion, he seems to be into it only for the money he can grab. Please do your homework and find a reputable breeder/trainer. You interview them. Don't get fooled by anyone that only wants your info but can't deliver on their info. And one that knows the breed and cares about the customers.

I highly recommend I-Guard International! We had an amazing experience. I had researched breeders in Washington and Oregon and had contacted several with no response back, but I-Guard called me back within 24 hours. They set expectations up front about how the process worked, communicated regularly, and have kept in touch since we brought our puppy home. The customer service experience was great!And we LOVE our puppy! I had GSDs growing up and this girl exceeds our expectations already! At 8 weeks, she was well on her way to potty trained, she understands several commands, has a very sweet demeanor and gets along great with our other dog, cats, and kids. We had specific needs and I-Guard matched us perfectly with our puppy. We have acreage, wild animals, 4 cats, young and older children, a 5 year old yellow lab who is an alpha female, and lots of friends and their dogs coming and going. Our puppy adapted well from the beginning, she's curious, sweet, eager to please, obedient, easy-going, and intelligent.I-Guard spent time with us and made us feel at home when we picked our puppy up and have checked in often since we brought her home. The boarding and training facility is very clean, spacious, and the staff is professional and friendly. Now they just need a facility in Seattle!We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better puppy!

I-Guard is by far the most professional and best option for German Shepards. The care from the facility is top-notch, and every employee puts their forth amazing effort. A great thing about I-Guard is that they make sure that each employee is of the highest respect, and ensures this through their around the clock care and answer all of your questions. Each puppy that comes from this facility is healthy and suited for the best home. Plus, the dogs are at an amazing value. I could not recommend I-Guard enough, and if you are looking for your perfect companion, this is the place for you!!

We have been with I-Guard since we got our first German Shepherd, Jack, in 2013. The trainer that gave us our dog, Nick, has been helping us immensely since then. He has gone into great depths to help us with training Jack. We have also been helping Nick with fostering and we are very happy with the dog, Qasha, we have received. Nick and I-Guard as a whole have always been there for us. My overall experience with them was very positive. I definitely would recommend them to everyone.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable breeder who actually knows what he's doing, I-Guard is where you should turn to. Nick is amazing with these dogs and the way he connects with them is almost unreal! Watching him interact with them blew my mind. His dogs (even the little guys!) are so smart and charismatic. I cannot wait to make my puppy purchase from him! I know that I am buying from someone I can trust and wants the best for me AND my new puppy and is not just trying to make a sale. I HIGHLY recommend him and I-Guard next time you are thinking about adding a new fur baby to your family!!

I love Jessi! She is the perfect person when it comes to customer service and caring for animals. She knows her dogs that's for sure, if ever need help she's the go-to! Nick, from what I've experienced, seems very down-to-earth and loves every minute spend with these animals. Staff has always been welcoming to all animal-lovers. I purchased my puppy here and he is perfect! Thanks guys, you're awesome. :)

Fate brought us to I-Guard & Nick Lungu... We had recently lost our male German Shepherd of 10 years to cancer... We stopped in at Nick's facility, K-9 Country Club, on our way home one afternoon where we met him & immediately connected with our love of dogs. We ended up purchasing a gorgeous puppy a few days later.Ricco is almost 2 now and is a wonderful companion as well as a protector, and we just brought home a beautiful, sweet female named Shelby about a month ago. Nick's dogs are superior in every way, as is his training/boarding facility. He is a compassionate man that is constantly giving back to the community, and will give you the shirt off his back to help you out. If you are looking for a German Shepherd dog, you don't need to search any further.Catherine and Greg Greene

I bought our first German Shepherd puppy from Nick and Jessi as a surprise for my wife, Champion is an awesome pup so far and we couldn't be happier to have him apart of our family. Jessi has also been very helpful beyond the point of purchase on giving us tips and information on multiple occasions to help us raise him as well as find great products to keep him healthy. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful experience here! We had our dog in board and train. They worked with our needs when we found out my step dads cancer is terminal and we had to leave early. We love the staff! Watching the trainers with the dogs was awesome, and they helped us understand our dog and her unique needs. We can't wait to go back for more training, and we want to purchase a puppy from Nick. We can't thank Nick and the staff enough for all they did for us.
