about first state k9

At First State K9, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results for you and your dog. Our mission is not only to offer programs that produce happy, well behaved pets, but also to help dog owners truly understand what's going on with their furry friends so they can develop deep bonds and lasting friendships with their four legged family members.

We draw from a deep well of experience to customize plans that are specific to the dogs unique needs and favor a balanced and humane approach to training using a wide variety of tools to establish effective communication with your pet. We believe each dog is unique and responds differently to different methods and that what works for one may not work for another.

The goal is to positively reinforce every possible success and use just enough corrective intervention to establish effective communication and enough positive control to ensure safe and appropriate behavior.
