What People Are Saying
“Fantastic and exceptional trainer. Austin trained our 7 month old Golden Retriever.
We got back a great and very well trained Companion and family member. We highly recommend this company.”
— Philip Hahn
“I am so grateful for Firm Foundations K9 Training! I have two dogs who are basically opposite of each other. One is an eager-to-please, high energy sports dogs. The other is a dopey, good-boy guard dog who has better things to do than listen to me. They both needed different training approaches and Austin delivered! They are listening, paying attention to me and my commands and just as happy as ever. They THRIVE on the clear direction! Austin took the time to answer all my questions and he guided me through real-time, hands-on practice with each dog. I was a bit nervous to make sure I was doing everything right, and he helped me feel confident working with my dogs. Once again, so grateful and highly encourage anyone to pursue Firm Foundations K9 Training for their doggy and for themselves!”
— Adam & Pala Studio
“Austin did such an amazing job with our golden retriever, Luna. She came home from the two week board and train a new girl. Being able to take her to our boys baseball games and stores and know she won’t be a problem is the best feeling!”
