This is not dog training
This is not dog training, and Wayne Curry is not a dog trainer. It is animal abuse, and Wayne is an abuser.
There is disturbing video of Wayne”training” dogs.
You can see for yourself at Reddit, look up “video evidence of Wayne Curry abusing dogs”. He is also currently facing manslaughter charges, for shooting an employee in the face, and killing the 23 year old.
Would steer far from this place. These dogs are sold as “personal protection dogs”, but they are the ones who need protecting.
Kraftwerk K9 Pro Delivers Again!!! !!!
This is our 3rd solid black German Shepherd puppy we have purchased from Kraftwerk K9 Pro. We have been very impressed with the dogs we have gotten. Ethan went above and beyond to help us with the purchase of Kai aka Dago. Since Kai had landed a week ago he has been a great addition to our family. We would highly recommend a Kraftwerk K9 Pro German Shepherd puppy as a great addition to any family.

Purchased a 2.5 year old male german shepherd from Wayne Curry in November of 2024. Was advertised s a "certified personal protection dog". The dog was reactive on the leash barking at other dogs and people, was a tire bitter and a danger to himself. The dog was diagnosed with scaral osteochondrosis which is a genetically transmitted condition from his bloodline. Wayne does not respond to emails or certified letters complaining about his sales. His contracts are no good and I would not sign one unless the legal jurisdiction in the case of a dispute in the buyers jurisdiction and with a clause that any gentically transmitted illness within one year of the date of purchase result in a full refund or replacement dog of the buyers choosing. He absolutely cares nothing for service after the sale and will not return attempt to contact him. Avoid buying a dog from Wayne Curry!

Wayne is an animal abuser. There is video evidence online of him kicking, punching, slapping, yanking and generally manhandling dogs under his “care”.
@janayay on TikTok has evidence.
Sonja
We got Sonja 10 years ago this month. She is my service dog. I have mild PTSD. We have had other dogs from Kraftwerk K9, and they were all awesome. Sonja is a black Sherman Shepherd and is spectacularly focused, dedicated, and appropriately protective. I really think she is a complete testament to the breed. Going on age 11 in May, we still walk between three and 5 miles per day every morning, and she has eyes on me virtually every second of the day. She really is my constant companion and best friend. When we got her, we asked the behaviorist at K9 for the sweetest dog available and she had no doubt About the right choice,
and boy was she correct! My wife and I want to thank Wayne and his staff for doing the most incredible job in breeding and training of these amazing animals. Keep it going.!
Simply the best!
I was led by a friend to a beautiful well laid out website with a wealth of information. I found my Maximus and one week later meeting Curtice for an excellent and informative training session for my new puppy. I have only had this puppy for 4 hours and he is well-bonded to me and following me around responding to commands. My biggest problem is not getting a second one right away! Thank you Wayne, Curtice and Desiree for the excellent service and gorgeous Maximus vom Kraftwerk!♥️
Curtis did a great job showing us all…
Curtis did a great job showing us all of the puppies for sale. We have watched most of your videos and are thankful for Wayne's thoughtful breeding practices, as our experience has been that your dogs are sound in mind and body.
Our Bella passed on 12-1-24 at the age of 12 and she was our favorite shepherd of the five that we've had during our lifetimes. Viva will be loved and cherished by our whole family!
Outstanding Puppy and Experience with Kraftwerk K9
We recently purchased a 10-week-old German Shepherd puppy from Kraftwerk K9, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. From start to finish, the process was professional and seamless. The facility was exceptionally clean, and it was clear they prioritize the health and well-being of their dogs.
Our puppy had received excellent pre-training, which made his transition into our family much smoother. Kraftwerk K9 also provided us with a wealth of information and resources at pick-up, ensuring we were well-prepared to care for and train our new furry family member.
He has been a fantastic addition to our family, and our children absolutely love playing with him. We highly recommend Kraftwerk K9 to anyone looking for a well-bred, well-trained German Shepherd. We’re already looking forward to adding another Kraftwerk K9 puppy to our family in the future!
My Amazing Kraftwerk German Shepherd Zora
I have had great protection/Schutzhund German Shepherds for the last 30 years, but I just became the proud parent of Zora, my first Kraftwerk K9 German Shepherd. I am stunned at just how amazing a dog she has been from the moment I met her. I could write a very long review as to why she is a dream come true and Kraftwerk K9 is such a special place, but I’ll try to give just the highlights.
First, I admit I’m a bit shallow. I like beautiful dogs with a particular look. For me, protection and obedience has certainly been important, but the dog is also my constant companion and falling in love with the dog is the first important step and that usually happens from pictures. When I stumbled upon Kraftwerk’s website about a month ago and saw Zora’s pictures, I immediately thought I would give just about anything to have a dog that looked like her. And then I saw pictures of Kraftwerk’s other dogs and thought that they had the best-looking dogs of any I’ve seen and I’ve been looking for at least a year since my last dog passed. Kraftwerk gets huge bonus points because they post great current pictures and have so many videos you actually feel like you are there seeing the dog in person. (I had a bad experience when a dog I purchased from pictures arrived looking very different from what were apparently older pictures that I was sent.)
When I called Kraftwerk to inquire about Zora and a few of the other dogs, I spoke with Desiree. After I described generally what was important to me and my priorities, which have shifted over the years, Desiree said that Zora would be a perfect fit. The specific words Desiree used to describe Zora were almost as though Desiree had read my mind. Between Zora’s looks and Desiree’s description, I was a goner.
Because I vowed a few dogs ago never to buy another one without meeting the dog in person -- regardless of how good the pictures and videos are –- I traveled 3/4s of the way across the country to meet Zora. I was prepared she would not be as described or somehow there would be something that wasn’t quite right, but from the minute I met her I knew she was going to perfect. After spending many hours there interacting with Zora, watching Desiree and another trainer work with her and then working with her myself, I could hardly wait to bring her home. While I know many experienced dog owners don’t need the extra step of meeting the dog in person first, what I found very valuable is learning some of Zora’s nuances while watching her in her environment so I could be prepared to give her the best home possible and make the transition seamless. Plus, while I have had these dogs for 30 years, I am not skilled like a dog trainer and watching and learning from the trainer in person was really helpful.
Zora has now been home with me for just over a month and she just keeps exceeding my expectations and hopes. She is all the best qualities of my prior dogs rolled into one and has been the easiest acclimation of all my dogs so far. And, I really appreciate how accurately and honestly Desiree described Zora. She didn’t simply tell me what I wanted to hear. It is clear from my experience with everyone at Kraftwerk and my visit to the facilities that I didn’t just get lucky stumbling upon one good dog; it is a reflection of the organization from top to bottom. They simply know how to select excellent dogs and train them impeccably. And because they know their dogs so well, they are able to place them in the right home.
Everything has gone swimmingly so far…
Everything has gone swimmingly so far !!
I am very excited to pick up our puppy in January !!
I think this is the best breeding system in the entire country.
The people are Wonderful 👍
Kraftwerk was great to deal with
Kraftwerk was great to deal with, having friendly and knowledgeable staff. We are lucky enough to be relatively local so were able to visit the kennel and meet Björn's parents. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience...thank you!

I had purchased a Shepard 25 years ago and two a day ago, I received the same courteous service as last time.
All staff are professionals and helpful towards all my needs
These 2 German shepherds have already shown they are the highest quality dogs you can get in world, and why I'm a repeat customer.
I slept on the floor with both dogs last night to bond with them
And it was like magic happened. They took to me in the middle of the night and showed their love and affection towards me.
I spent the day in the park around other dogs and ducks training them, they both performed perfectly. They listened to every command and worked in unison together. I could not be happier.
They will be without a doubt the most perfect dogs for my ranch. In family
I've done business with Kraftwerk…
I've done business with Kraftwerk before and have always been satisfied with my interaction with them. Top quality dogs from a knowledgeable breeder is a winning combination. My conversation with Deserie was very helpful making our decision, no pressure, professional and knowledgeable.
Very helpful and excited about our new…
Very helpful and excited about our new puppy. Answered all my questions and concerns!
The absolute BEST in every way
If I could give Kraftwerk K9 10 stars, I would! We recently lost our beautiful working line GSD and came to Kraftwerk looking for an adult dog to join our family. Curtice, Wayne, and the entire staff took so much time with us introducing us to several dogs (in the rain nonetheless haha), letting us work them and get to know them, and letting us introduce them to both our female labrador retriever and two year old son. They were also incredibly accommodating and were willing to hold the dog we chose for a month, as we were right in the middle of a move down to CA. We decided on a four year old male and could not be happier or more in love with him. He is everything they promised - sweet, obedient, stable, confident, trustworthy in all situations, and protective. We will forever be lifelong Kraftwerk clients. Thank you, Kraftwerk K9!
