Foundation First K9
Family owned and operated business offering dog training and boarding. The Dog Comes First, Always. We believe ego has no place in dog training.
Our training methods center around helping your dog feel confident, and helping him or her learn how to do what we ask of them, instead of putting on stronger control devices and simply controlling the body. WE BRIDGE THE COMMUNICATION GAP BETWEEN DOG AND OWNER. When you can communicate effectively, there's no limit to what you and your dog can accomplish! We are a family owned, veteran and 1st responder operated business.

We have these 2 beautiful German Shepherd girls who have been long term boarders, but now are looking for a home. They are sweet, easy to handle, and would make great pets. They are very attached to each other and weâd like them to stay together if at all possible. These are not working lines. Call 904-805-3411 for more information.

Shay came to us about a year and a half ago. Someone had moved and simply left her behind. We took her and trained her for narcotics detection. Itâs been a slow process due to Chuck and I having limited time to dedicate to her training. We finally got her ready to certify and Tammie saidâ Chuck, I think Shayâs pregnant!â Even though Chuck was adamant that she couldnât be, somehow Axle had secretly taken care of business and she had 5 beautiful pups. Weâve kept one and all the others have found great homes. So, now Shay has officially become a narcotics detection dog and she worked her first full shift at the port today. She did an excellent job, and was dubbed the Sweetest dog we have! From throw away to working K9. Good job Shay!

PUPPIES!!!
Chuck's dog Axle has sired a really nice litter with our Dutch Shepherd female Shay. Axle is 100% imported working lines German Shepherd, Shay is (by DNA test) full blooded Dutchie. Both parents work and are on site. Pups are now 7 weeks old, have had their first shots and 4 are still available, both males and females. These will be excellent working dogs with great temperaments. Call or respond to make arrangements to come see them.

When a cruise passenger says 'she's so pretty, I'd love to take her home'. I know they see a quiet well behaved dog. I always say 'no, probably not'...and this is the reality. Our dogs are good because they are kept busy, have a purpose and a job. The are extreme athletes, exceptionally athletic and very, very smart. They don't make good couch potatos!
