Whether your intentions are to have a working police or protection sport dog, or simply an obedient family pet, a dog must first be your companion.  Even with a fully trained dog, a new handler must first develop companionship with the dog in order for the relationship to work.  Companionship is defined as the measure of mutual trust and respect you develop with your dog, the basis from which confidence is developed, and confidence is the key to any well developed training program.  This is the foundation from which we use a reward-based system of encouragment to develop the fundamental drives and behaviors needed for our training program.

No matter the type of working canine, there is a fundamental difference between sport competition and real-life situations.  While the theories and training are very similar, the dog must be introduced and trained for one or the other or, in some cases, both.  At First Companion K-9 we focus on both practical dog training and on dog training for various sport competition venues.  The training techniques and methodologies utilized in sport competition are developed as a result of the standard protocols of competing, the benefits of which do not always carry over into practical training scenarios, such as with personal protection and law enforcement.  As a result, we often work with law enforcement agencies to ensure their K-9 programs are incorporating the most advanced training practices.

Should you purchase from us a started dog or a fully trained dog; or should you choose to work with us through a comprehensive training program, a First Companion K-9 is a dog that is trained to be a faithful, obedient, and anytime working companion.
