K-9 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

    First Defense K9 LLC has an established partnership with 

    Ironside K9 LLC when it comes to our working dog training programs.

    Together We pride ourselves in sharing our experience and expertise in the art of training dogs and their handlers in the discipline of detection work and more. 


    We offer multiple specialized K9 and handler training programs for law enforcement, security K-9 units, and various government agencies with specific working dog needs.

    From single purpose to dual purpose K9s, we deliver.

    Our training methods and courses are always adapted to the dogs in front of us and the individual skill level of each handler.  One-on-one and group classes are available.

    Our courses consist of the following:

    Classroom time
    Hands on training
    Practical exercises
    Real world deployment scenarios
    K9+handler Certification(s)


    The training and development of a successful K9 takes many hours, and this training continues throughout each dog and handler's career. Requirements vary greatly between disciplines, but once fully trained, teams are required to pass a certifying evaluation before becoming operational. This evaluation is repeated periodically throughout their career to ensure workability and proficiency.


    Every K9 team enrolled in our programs, will receive the training to achieve and maintain the level of expertise required in the field for which they were selected. In addition, both K9s and handlers will have achieved and maintained physical and behavioral standards to meet the needs of the job. These requirements vary for the type of work performed, but each team will have spent hours on a daily basis—engaged in exercise and training to maintain performance, a process that builds a tight and lasting bond between K9 and handler. This bond deepens through daily work, specialized deployments in the field and shared work-life experiences. 


    Come with a willingness to learn and an open mind. Leave with a solid foundation, of an acquired set of diverse skills and knowledge. That will help you and your K9 partner succeed wherever your career paths take you!

    Success Requires: TRAINING, DISCIPLINE, and HARD WORK.
