Been going to Foundation First K9 for about 3 weeks now and am absolutely impressed with their work. When I first started taking my dog (Pancake) I had a horrible time with her pulling and wanting to chase everything when on a leash. Now Pancake is a completely different dog leash manners are suburb compared to before. Foundation First has been an absolute life saver when it comes to my dog. They are very knowledgeable and professional, Tammy is by far one of the nicest people I have met and is very straight forward about training your dog. I would and have recommended them to several people

We had our first session yesterday and just loved it. The trainer was just amazing and so patient. I feel so very relieved knowing that we will be able to control our pup instead of her controlling us. Thank you so much and I can not wait for the next session.

Very kind, helpful, and patient with me as a first-time dog owner. ♥️ The trainer showed me what equipment to use ( I was able to purchase it too ), and was very clear and descriptive as to what my pup was thinking/doing through the whole process while she trained me. 😊

I have been going to Foundation First k9 for the last 3 years. I couldn't have asked for a better training facility. From obedience, personal protection, and detection I have learned so much from them and still learn something new everytime I go. My first malinois and I have been going since he was 8 weeks old and will be turning 4 next June. As soon as we turn down their road he knows where we are going. They are always changing up the scenarios and tactics to best serve you and your dog. I cant say enough great things about the facility and the Pipkin family. They truly care about you and your dogs, and treat you as family.
