I've just recently returned to the world of dog training after being out of that realm for over 20 years. Meeting Tammie from Foundation First K9 was a chance meeting at a vet appointment we both happened to share. We struck up a casual conversation and the rest is history. I have been now training with them for over 6 months in both protection and scent detection. Foundation First K9 is more than a place to train. Through this organization I have gained knowledge, a training outlet and a second family. Come and join us!!!

Great experience all around with Foundation first from boarding to training classes. Successful board and train with a much better behaved dog, private and group lessons, so grateful for trainers that care about what they are doing! Family run business that puts thier all into what they do. Very responsive to messages and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend.

These guys know their stuff! Amazing dog and people trainers! Patient and kind and go above and beyond to support you and your dog. We did a lot of research on trainers and these guys invited us out to just observe a training in progress before we committed to trading. They answered many many questions as well as educated us on the work/training the dogs were doing step by step. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now that I have worked with this family owned and operated business!
