Billy and Susie will also work with dogs that people think there is no hope for. Susie says, "Every dog can learn, no matter how old, or even if the dog is handicapped."

Susie has trained and worked with dogs that are deaf and dogs that are blind as well as dogs that are both hearing and sight impaired. "A dog's disabilities do not stand in my way of training the animal. All animals can be helped just as people who have handicaps." Susie is determined and does not give up on or refuse to take dogs with disabilities no matter what their problem might be. And if she can't help you she will be the first to tell you.

Wagner K9 School is so committed to fulfilling their obligation that they offer unlimited dog/handler training sessions at no additional fee to all clients that purchase the 4-week dog obedience training program. When any client needs additional help in their handling they can return to the school with their dog as often as necessary for unlimited instruction!

Billy and Susie Wagner, for three decades, have devoted their lives to training dogs and teaching people how to work their dogs. Most dogs that enroll in their school are referred by past clients and Veterinarians who know the Wagner's work personally.

Wagner K9 School began as Wagner Command Dog School. Billy Wagner Sr. was seriously injured, losing both hands and almost lost his life in an electrical accident in 1973. Before the accident that made Billy a double amputee he had received dog training skills during his military career in the Army and during his tour in Viet Nam. Needless to say Billy had never intended to use these dog training skills in pursuing a life time career of dog training, but nevertheless, that's exactly what happened. In 1974, Billy began to train and work with his own personal dogs as a hobby. Pretty soon his friends begin to bring their own dogs to Billy for their basic obedience training. Susie was called into the training procedures when asked, by Billy, to show people proper hand signals. That's when Susie caught the dog training fever! Billy soon developed the reputation as a great dog trainer in Cleveland County and established Wagner Command Dog School in 1975. Shortly after, Billy and Susie moved their family to Charlotte and later to Union County where the school is presently located. Billy worked with the police department training Union County's first police dog. He also spent time with Union County Deputy Sheriffs with the training of their bloodhounds.

Today Billy and Susie Wagner spend most of time obedience training dogs for the public. However, they are skilled in working with the protection dog for home and for security purposes for the private business sector.
Clients come from all over the United States. Being in business, since 1975, Billy Wagner's name and skills as a dog trainer spread and traveled through out the country, giving him the privilege to work with families that have traveled from as far north as New York and New Hampshire to southern Georgia, Tennessee, Florida. The school's fame grew after being interviewed three times on WBTV with CJ Underwood's, The Carolina Camera. Clients range from families just like themselves to doctors, lawyers and professional football players. The training school is available to any individual or family desiring to improve their dog/handler working relationship in their own home and to those who desire to learn the art of dog handling. The desire of Wagner K9 Dog Training School is to train dogs to learn to love to be obedient! We have fun training dogs and will help you have fun working your dog (s) in obedience.

Charles Malone Wagner, new Business Manager and Owner of Wagner K9 School poses here with his dog "Duke". Charles grew up along side his parents who have trained dogs since 1975. Charles, himself, being an experienced professional dog trainer and handler has opened new doors and opportunities for many more services being added to accommodate the Wagner's clients. Charles is the proud owner of "Wagner's Sir Duke Remus", a pup from Wagner's famous line of Dobermans. Many will remember "Remus" his Dad's Doberman from the past! Charles recently adopted "Ali" a boxer.

Scout is about 10 months old and doing great. Her obedience on leash is far better than one would expect from a puppy. Although at 75 pounds it is hard to imagine that she is still a pup. She goes on walks with us along the green way and people often comment on how well behaved she is. We can take her anywhere and not worry about how she will react with others. Cathy and other officers at her office put on a child safety seat check point the first Saturday of each month. This past Saturday I stopped by with Scout and some of the kids came up to pet her. She loves children, especially our niece Julie who is two years old.

Thank you both for all the hard work you put into Scout. By working with her regularly she has retained all the training she received. We would like to bring her down on a Saturday so she can visit with your family. I am sure she would love to see you.
