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-Guard is Top notch! And is the leader in training and quality. We have nothing but good things to say about OUR experience with I-Guard and the puppy we got from Nick. NICK IS GENUINE and TRULY CARES FOR HIS CLIENTS AND THEIR PUPS. WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER DOG FROM THEM AND HAVE THEM DO THE TRAINING!

I found Iguard International through a recommendation while searching for german sheperds and could not be happier with my experience. They have been warm and helpful at every stage of the process—from choosing my puppy to picking him up to continuing to be a resource for me after delivery. Jessi checks in on us weekly to make sure my baby is happy and healthy and even sends us update photos of his siblings. I will absolutely be working with them again in the future when I'm ready for a sibling for my young pup. Highly Recommend!!

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!

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

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!!

I can't say enough good things about I-Gaurd! Amazing people, amazing dogs. They treat you like family. I mainly have talked with Jessi, she is so sweet and more than helpful. I talked with her when I was ready to get a dog and told her what I was looking for. Hugo is that, and more. I really could not be happier . I won't go anywhere else for a dog ever again.

Sarah Jane

19:38 10 Mar 20

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. 🙂

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 have been working with Iguard for a couple years now. I bred my female to their premier sire Basko. I had 7 beautiful puppies that are going to be incredible dogs. Of course I sent them up to Nick to work with them when they were weaned as I want them to have the very best start.All of their dogs are stunning and have the dispositions that we all want in a dog; well behaved, respectful, intelligent and kind. It’s amazing to see how well Nick Lungu has trained his dogs. Their focus and obedience is unequalled.I would highly recommend IGuard for your next German Shepherd if you are looking for the best in family dog, service dog or protection dog.

We foster one of the females and have had so much fun so far! The whole program has been great, Jessi has answered all our questions in a timely fashion and has been very informative. We are so happy we found this program! The dog we foster is the sweetest and most well trained dog and is amazing with our 2 kids. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Nick & Jessi are phenomenal! I have loved my time working with them and the puppy I purchased from I Guard. Their facilities are always super clean. The staff are very kind & knowledgeable. In the future, I will return to I-Guard for another puppy.

We purchased a German shepherd from I-guard and could tell the staff and owner, Nick are extremely knowledgeable and love the dogs very much. We got a healthy puppy for my daughter.I have recently returned to I-guard to get some training (board training) for my pup and it went well. We (humans) needed some training as well! So, I'll review the store and services I am familiar with.Store: The store is high end and well stocked with high quality top shelf products to include foods, supplements, training supplies, leashes, food bowls, crates, homemade treats, hard to find brands of foods/treats, toys, beds, and so much more! The store is clean and well staffed as well. Everyone was kind to me every time I have gone in or called. They also know a lot about dogs and what they like. I also noticed everyone I interacted with there was a pet owner themselves and appeared to love dogs.Onsite vet: there is an onsite vet readily available for the pets who stay over which is relieving to know if you board.The overnight stay over or doggy day care: they offer day time visits or overnights for a reasonable price. I was also told my pup got to socialize and have playtime with other pups while there which was nice to know. I like the idea of them not being confined. I can also say they do require up to date shot records for their visitors. However, if you are out of date, the on site vet can take care of it!The training: I did the board training where my pup stayed overnight for just over 2 weeks. I do feel like it was effective and she came out obedient, responsive, and under control.

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!

The Breeding Dogs at I GUARD International are THE GOLD STANDARD for show quality and working German Shepherds..And it's obvious from the first minute you Meet Nick(The Breeder), and his Dogs. Basko was my favorite. He is a huge beautiful Black and Red GSD. His Temperament is untouched . Brave , and Loyal. And smarter than just about any other K9. And Protective, like you wouldnt even believe, but loving and playful too. Both Nick and Jessie(The Facility Manager) are super dedicated to choosing the Perfect German shepherd that you are looking for. Jessie is the Definition of PROFESSIONAL and always returned my calls and emails. It's also super important to her that you truly enjoy the process of buying an I GUARD k9. And she does everything she possibly can, to make sure you do.Last and most most importantly they made me feel like I was truly part of the I GUARD family...Thanks so much you guys. I love my I GUARD International GSD's 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

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!

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 don't know how Nick does it but he really did pick the perfect German Shepherd for our family. The whole experience from meeting Nick and his staff to touring the facility to the adoption of our new family member was way beyond expectation. They truly care about their animals! I-Guard International has new customers for life!

Working with Nick is as honest as it can get. He had our German shepherd Titan for 3 weeks and our young golden retriever Dakota for 1. He showed us that most of our problems were our fault. By pointing out small things we missed our walks are super easy and great harmony at home.. Thank you I-GUARD and your whole staff. Terry and Barbara Bonson

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.

I grew up with German Shepherds and have been looking for one as my college is coming to an end. I did quite a bit of research and found several breeders across the Pacific Northwest. None were as helpful as answering my questions as Nick. From the phone conversations I could tell Nick has a passion for raising high quality dog, but was initially concerned about the price. Those concerns went away when I did a puppy visit to their facility. The place was spotless and you could tell the entire staff loved their job. While there I sat down with Nick and we talked for half hour plus about what I wanted in a dog and when done was told when the puppies are born they do behavioral testing to try and find the perfect dog for you. I have visited several breeders in the past and I feel I guard and team go above and beyond and very easily the top German Shepherd breeder out there.

I recently had the most amazing experience.My daughter was in need of a service animal and happened to find IGuard. She now has the most beautiful, kind and exceptionally trained German Shepard.IGuard, Nick, Jessie and the rest of the crew went out of there way to make sure that my daughter and her new friend had the best start together.Nick flew out to Colorado with our pup to properly introduce him to his new environment and to teach my daughter how to properly interact and work with her new service animal.I have been involved with animals my whole life, both as a pet owner and as a competitive equestrian. To say that I am impressed by the professionalism of IGuard is an understatement. The quality, training, deep intelligence and kind heart of our new family member is a reflection of the conviction that IGuard has to raising the best and most adjusted animals possible. Nick and his team’s attention to all facets of the relationship between my daughter and her new companion was done with a great deal of heart and knowledge.I don’t usually write reviews because I believe a positive experience should be the base expectation of any business. I feel strongly that our experience with Iguard has been consistently exceptional and want to sent kudos to IGuard, Nick and his team!Thanks, IGuard and keep up your important and good work!

Totally impressed from the minute we walked in the door about these german shepherds. I have always wanted a german shepherd, growing up they were my favorite dog. I wanted one for how brilliant the breed is known for, the size and how beautiful they are. I researched for months for a reputable GS breeder in the state of Washington and all the ones around my area were just not for me or told me that my husband and I were just not fit to own a german shepherd dog! huh?! we don't have any kids we are a fit couple and my husband is a marine vet and I am an active duty sailor, we had nothing but time on our hands for a german shepherd pup! thank god I found nick! he is the perfect breeder and he found us a dog that he somehow knew was going to fit my husbands personality with his PTSD from deployments. our pup isn't even a year yet and nick is going to help us find another dog for our home! our pup is super calm with small children and smaller dogs. he loves to play with almost every single dog that he says. he is not super territorial at all. hes only territorial when he needs to be. not loud at all. ready for another dog in my house.

Absolutely incredible German Shepards! I've lived in several areas spanning all the way to North Carolina and I've never seen such perfection in this breed before. Thank you Nick for raising the bar and showing a true example of what these amazing dogs should be.

We got our purebred GSD, Delilah at the age of 5 mos from I-guard International. I have to say, I'm highly impressed with her temperament and how easily trainable she is. And it sticks!We have had her for a month now. She's already created a tight bond with our family and doesn't leave our sides. Esp on hikes!The owner Nick and the staff took the time to get to know us and helped match us with Delilah. We couldn't be more happier!I highly recommend anyone if you want to purchase a GSD this is the place to go.Thank you I-guard!

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!!

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.

I've only had it for three days and already he's displaying signs of exceptional intelligence (this is my fifth dog and the eighth that I've lived with). He's not only smart, his temperament is great and he's absolutely beautiful!I Guard's facility is immaculate. One would expect to see dog hair, some dirt, etc. within a dog breeding/training facility but not here. the floors, walls, ramps, stairs... even the bathrooms for people were clean as a whistle. Nick, the owner, was extraordinary in his knowledge of the breed and applied absolutely no pressure to buy. He answered all my questions and I got an extremely honest vibe off of him. His staff was knowledgeable and helpful as well.If you are in the market for a new dog, do yourself a favor and consider this an option. I drove six hours to see and purchase this puppy and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Great facility, great dog! Thanks Nick!!!!!

My wife and I have owned one previous GSD before going to Nick and I-Guard and there is no comparison. Our experience from beginning to end was excellent Nick observed our family with a couple of his pups and recommended which one he felt was the best fit I was a little skeptical at first but after thinking it over for a night we decided to go with Nicks recommendation and it has been the best decision we have ever made regarding a pet Quin is perfect for us she has an amazing temperament she is the perfect balance between social and protective. She is incredible with the kids plays with them for hours in the yard! When my wife takes her on walks she is quick to alert if there is someone near and stays focused on that potential threat until it passes she will alert with barking and once given a command to leave it she quiets down immediately. She is great off leash we can walk the neighborhood or the park and she stays right by our side. And when it comes to looks there is NO better example of the quintessential German Shepherd then an I Guard Dog. Quins build, stance, color and poise are perfect. We have had quin go for about 6 weeks to Nicks Facility K9 Country Club for short training sessions and Day care and we have the perfect German Shepherd at 7 months. Most satisfied customer ever!!! A final note Nicks dogs and training is not the cheapest but neither is a Ferrari but if you want the best in pedigree and experience there is no equal. The only question that remains is are you looking for a Kia or a Ferrari!

I am a single mom with two kids we lost our 8 year old large breed dog last spring. My kids and I were heart broken. We decided to adopted two small rescue Jack Russell’s, but due to their background they really do not want to play or spend time with my kids. They’re not mean, just not interested. I looked through the shelters to find a large dog because my 9 year old son really wanted his dog due to the divorce and our other dog passing he needed something more to love and I knew it. I am aware shelters have GREAT dogs however they could not tell me anything about these pups that are all coming in from Southern CA. I was brutally attacked by a large dog in my late twenties which makes me very nervous around dogs I don't know. Also being a single mom, and having the two dogs that have a few issues we are still working on, I had a hard time bring one home because I could never take it back. I decided I needed to determine really what breed I wanted. I looked up different breeds and settled on a German shepherd. I called their specific rescues with no luck and not much interest in me. I called up breeders and time and time again all they wanted was my money they were not interested in letting me know their breeding program or having a real conversation. These kinds of breeders are how I have the two JR and I would never give money to them EVER. I was at a dead end then I came across I-Guard International Site. I emailed through the site a few questions and Nick responded and we setup a time to meet. I explained my situation. Nick told me all about his breeding program. He answered all my questions I had. He has beautiful clean facilities and you can tell he LOVE his dogs and the breed. He showed me two 10 week old puppies that were the calmest well-tempered pups I had ever been around. I did fall in love with one long haired little girl however this was for my son and I wasn’t sure 10 weeks was something I could really do at this time. Then Nick told me about a 4 month old that he had. The pup had training, was potty trained, crated trained and new commands (enough for a 4 month old ;-)) He had been adopted already and Iguard had kept him to be trained. After the training the family that had paid a large deposit on him decided they didn't want him. I WANTED HIM. Nick let me know he was supposed to be being adopted the next morning. He said if the people come in and did get him I could have him. I knew this was the dog I had been looking for I also knew it was a long shot because they would only have to pay the difference from the deposit owed. Nick called the next day and let me know that he had spoken to the people that were going to buy him about me and the very kind people determined they would adopt a younger puppy instead if I really wanted the 4 month old. I was ecstatic yes I came right down and got him. I surprised my kids with him that night. They named him Max. Max for being now 6 months old is the kindest, sweetest, well-tempered, easy going, fun and most intelligent dog. He is the best family pet and we love him. I will never adopt a GS/dog from anyone else ever. We are blessed to have such an amazing dog and Nick made it happen. Now Max needs to like fetching just a little more and we will be set ;-)! Thank you Nick - Robyn, Logan & Allyson

This is by far the Best German Shepherd Breeder in Spokane. We have 3 German Shepherd that we got as puppies from them. We also had Nick Train the dogs, and he is an excellent Dog Trainer.

After contacting several individuals...it took one call and speaking with Nick and Jacqueline Lungu at I-Guard International, we knew instantly we had found the right individuals and company to purchase our new addition to our family. Dakota Vom I-Guard International is an amazing, beautiful and intelligent German Shepherd. Her temperament is exceptional. When she was 8 months old, we sent her back to Spokane, WA from Brunswick, GA for Advanced Obedience and Service Animal training. We were amazed at the job that Nick and Jacqueline had accomplished. If you are looking for the perfect German Shepherd and the most qualified trainers, I highly recommend Nick and Jacqueline Lungu.
