About the Trainer

Vom Schloss Billimack Working Dogs is a specialized dog training business focused on preserving the working heritage of German Shepherd Dogs and Belgian Malinois through high-level IPO (formerly Schutzhund) training. They train their own dogs for competition in IPO, police work, search and rescue, and as trustworthy family companions.

While they primarily train their own competition dogs, they occasionally offer public seminars, coaching workshop days, and referrals to other qualified trainers or clubs based on client goals. They do not offer regular group or private training sessions for the general public but can connect owners with reputable breeders and trainers in the US and Europe.

Their expertise lies in working dog development, emphasizing drive, temperament, and utility over conformation. They have a long history of producing and training top-tier working dogs, including multiple IPO3 champions and national competitors. Their training philosophy is rooted in the original principles of Max von Stephanitz, prioritizing function and performance.

They do not currently offer puppy sales, boarding, grooming, or day care services, but they provide referrals for breeders and trainers aligned with their working dog standards.

Accomplishments

Trained multiple IPO3 champions including G-Man, who placed 3rd at the 2016 USCA German Shepherd IPO National Championships and was a 2017 USA Team member at the WUSV in the Netherlands. Also trained Yugo, who achieved perfect 100-point scores in protection at SchH3 level. Their dogs have competed and placed at national and international levels including FCI and FMBB events.
