First Due K9

Do you want to get your dog on the water, and want to do it safely?

Contact First Due K9 and we’ll get you started for a life of aquatic adventure!

Just a heads up, we all know the Fourth of July is coming up soon. Now is a good time to start desensitizing your dog to firework sounds, if you have not started that training already.

And if your dog requires medication for anxiety, or if you have not tried that yet, get into your vet early and have that conversation.

Holidays do not have to be stressful! 

Photos: My dog, Jack, enjoying the fireworks show. He loves them!

After FDK9 owner, Alicia worked 48hrs at the Fire Station, she was happy to get some “puppy therapy” in! 🚒🐾❤️

Happy National Pet Day
to all of your pets!

Be they finned, feathered, scaled, or furry!

Dog training that is successful and lasting takes time.

Creating behaviors that turn into habits.

Building a meaningful relationship with your dog.

Teaching your dog to make good choices on their own through positive reinforcement, not out of fear of repercussions.

Setting expectations and boundaries by clearly communicating what is/is not acceptable.

Making every day, the best day ever! ☀️🐾🙃

Got puppies?

First Due K9’s Puppy Program brings fun and games to you to boost your pup’s confidence and get them started on the right foot…errr…paw! 🐾

Do you adventure outdoors with your dog?

Snake sunning season is coming up, and First Due K9 can train your dog to avoid snakes!

Jack is demonstrating here that he could care less that there is literally a snake RIGHT there. Snakes have bubbles and we need to stay out of them!

Black snakes are of little concern, but should your dog be enticed by one of Virginia’s venemous snakes, then you have a problem!

I took the photo below a couple of years ago. Can you spot all the snakes? 🐍
