Germelhaus is a dog training business run by Mellodee Middleton, a breeder and trainer with 40 years of experience specializing in top-working German Shepherd Dogs. They offer on-site training for all breeds with customized programs focused on obedience, behavior modification, confidence building, and foundational manners. Training is rooted in the same high-drive, athletic lines used for IPO/Schutzhund, police K-9, SAR, and protection work. In addition to training, they provide boarding services and are a reputable breeder of German Shepherds with pedigrees from West, Belgium, and East German lines. All brood bitches are owner-titled and trained from BH to SchH3, ensuring puppies are socialized and imprinting begins early, making them easier to train. Their training approach emphasizes strong obedience foundations suitable for active families, working dog enthusiasts, and those seeking protection or service dog capabilities.

Germelhaus is not a general-purpose dog training facility but a specialized operation focused on high-drive, working-line German Shepherds and their owners. While they offer training for all breeds, their expertise, breeding program, and facility are optimized for dogs with strong working drives and owners pursuing advanced tasks like IPO, SAR, or personal protection. Their training is delivered at their facility in Princeton, TX, and is tailored to individual goals with an emphasis on structure, discipline, and drive development.
