The proof is in the dogs.

Firm Foundation K9 Academy has been a lifesaver for my family. We have two big boys, ages 2 and 3, who desperately needed Rusty's help. The two-year-old is anxious, afraid of people, and shows his fear through aggression. He is also not a fan of other dogs and loses his mind, which is our primary issue for our 3-year-old as well. Rusty has been patient with our boys and with us, demonstrating proper techniques, advising on what we are doing well and what we can improve upon, and helping us realize our bad boys can be good boys. With his help, their listening has improved and they are calmer, which means the world to us. We are excited to continue on this journey with the Firm Foundation K9 Academy family.

I can't say enough good things about this program. As a business owner, my dog is around customers every day and has always been very protective — barking and rushing toward people as they walked into the shop. After attending just one session, I walked away with meaningful insight and practical techniques I was able to start using immediately. The class was concise, well-organized, and I left feeling confident and equipped. What really sets them apart is their genuine love for both dogs and people. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Thank you, Rusty, for completely transforming my dog and making me a better handler and dog parent. Our walks are enjoyable now, and we get complimented all the time when we go out in public.

Rusty is amazing. I highly recommend Firm Foundation K9 Academy. Our Shepherd mix, Smoke, knew some basic obedience but was very inconsistent, and his recall was nonexistent once he got distracted. We now have a well-mannered boy that we can let off leash and know he will come when called every time.
