In Germany, Wolfgang joined the German Shepherd Schutzhund Club, Verein fuer Deutsche Schaeferhund Rems-Wieslauf in 1978. At a young age, he began working with an old-fashioned dog trainer who taught him the importance of interpreting dog behaviors before taking on the responsibility of training one. In doing so, Wolfgang discovered his passion in training protection dogs and his gift of understanding a dogs mood and behavior. In being able to understand a canines temperament, along with his passion, Wolfgang was able to hone his skills and methods to allow a canine to reach his fullest potential.
