These are 5 HIGH level working line puppies. 3 of them are 12 weeks old, 2 of them are 14 weeks old. They are products of our breeding program and our Foundation Dog® training program.

Look how they manage their own load and maintain their obedience positions with distractions. These are puppies that track over 50 yards now, discern between odor to alert to a target odor, perform advanced obedience tasks, and all of them will bite at the end of the line in front of their handler with a third party decoy.

This is the Foundation Dog® program. the breeding and training program that turns normal dog trainers into Master dog trainers and turns working line puppies into Top Tier K9®.

Come meet the pups on Saturday December 7th, 2024 from 10-noon and also meet the master dog trainers of Blackwater Bay.

Learn how we can help you with your dogs...pets or working dogs.

My 2 pups just entered Tier 2 of the Foundation Dog® Training.

The rest of the pack will be tested this week. 21 puppies, all being trained at the same time using the same training system, by 13 trainers, in 6 states. We meet live online every Saturday to see the progress.

Capone and MJ are 2 of the best puppies I have ever had the honor of training. Their drives and dispositions are spot on. MJ is a tad more compliant than Capone so I even get a snuggle buddy out of the deal!

Bite and prey development: Crazy strong bites, neither mess around. Deep and full from the git takes a lot to make them need a re-bite, but you hear the re-bite when they take it. No fear, both handle pressure consistently.

Tracking: Both dogs doing up to 100 foot tracks with turns and zig zags. We have not missed a single day of tracking.

Scent work: Recognizing target odor, alerts have begun

Obedience: Just moved to pinch collar and duration began immediately. Finger hold at 5 seconds (should hit 10 by Friday).

This means that Capone and MJ are officially Tier 1 Certified Foundation Dogs®. Training continues and Tier 2 testing must be completed on or before November 30th and Tier 3 on or before December 30th.

The timing is perfect as the GSD litter should be on the ground around Christmas time with new pups starting the program March 1st 2025.

We are eligible to acquire these amazing GSDs here in Milton.

Top Tier K9 - Blackwater Bay is a level 2 Certified Top Tier K9 location. We train pets and working dogs for our customers.

10/22/2024

Just got a preliminary buyer for the 4 remaining pups certified through Foundation Dog Tier 3.

That means, 21 training packages that include the pups...sold out with the first litter at 9 1/2 weeks old and the second litter at 8 weeks old. Every puppy is in the Top Tier K9 Foundation Dog Training program with 13 Master dog trainers working those puppies.

Looks like we will add a Mal/Dutchie litter to November along with the GSD litter.

Little Hot Cakes!!!

Certified Level 2 franchises can buy puppies and do the training themselves.

Clients can buy a Tier level 1, 2, 3, or 4 certified training package and participate in the training every Saturday during Zoom as they watch Master dog trainers prepare their pups in tracking, scent detection, protection and advanced obedience.

I wanted to take a 4 week break from pet training while we focus on the puppies, but got 3 new pets coming in over the last 24 hours. I can't say no to folks who need our help.

(pics are photoshopped but those are the puppies and dam/sire from each litter)

Great results from the current litters on the ground program.
Only 4 out of 21 pups will remain on campus to be finished as service dogs, protection dogs and special security dogs.

All puppies and 13 trainers are live online every Saturday for us to assist in their application of the Foundation Dog Training program.
100% are being trained in tracking, scent detection, protection and advanced obedience.

100%, both litters, every puppy is biting on the wall. We have done that once before with a litter, not 2 litters with 100% of both litters handing the pressure, biting and re-biting is simply setting a new standard for our breeding program.

Bea - GSD is in heat and we will be attempting the tie with Turbo-GSD over the next week to 10 days. We will announce once the tie has been completed.

The 2024 "Making Strides" American Cancer Society event in Tallahassee Florida was a huge success.

The value of a dog, a K9 companion, a battle buddy, is not only in it's ability to detect, but the dog's loyalty and dedication to our happiness. It was one heck of an event. First time we ran out of trifolds!

Thank you Alyssa Browning, Dean Weaver, Alexia Barquet, and Paige Hagberg for working so hard to make this a success.

Mission Accomplished! The dogs (and 2 Chaos pups) are in the hands of Julie Madison. Veterans are all meeting at her facility Sunday to begin their hands-on work.

Now I can focus on Sunday in Tallahassee Florida with the American Cancer Society and the "Making Strides for a Cure" against breast cancer.

Will be discussing our scent detection program and how it relates to dogs hunting for and indicating on cancer cells. Plus we will be providing evaluations for pet training.

No rest for the weary!

Delivering the 7 dogs for 7 Veterans today. The process had a slight interruption due to the hurricane as the hub for all the work is at Top Tier K9 - Bradenton.

Thank you to Ms. Julie Madison for making this year's program come together! Julie lined up the veterans and developed the relationship with Canines 4 Heroes who raised the funds for it all to happen. Canines 4 Heroes applies 100% of their funding to their mission. For those in the service dog community, you realize how important that is. Top Tier K9 provided a 50% in-kind match.

The veterans received their training through the Top Tier K9 Academy for Dog Trainers and will perform their hands-on work with Julie at her Top Tier K9 Certified Location, applying what they learned online with their local Certified Master Dog Trainer in their own community.

Julie will provide ongoing support through weekly private lessons and group classes allowing the veterans to bond with their dogs and apply their training.

This is the first time we have been able to coordinate the entire program within a single community and is the model for our future work. Having a Certified Master Dog Trainer in the local community so the veterans have ongoing support, a training program that prepares the veterans to take their dogs to the next level, whatever level they desire, and a charity that puts 100% of the funding into their own community allows our model to be applied at any of our level 2 franchise locations.

7 veterans are being served at the industry average price of less than 2 dogs. This is the model that will change the service dog industry. Both for disabled veterans and first responders, as well as dogs for all those with disabilities who would benefit from community-based support delivered by the world's greatest dog training company.

It's been a hell of a journey to get to this point. Constant improvement, a professional network, and unwavering support of staff, interns, students, and dedicated franchise owners. The work on the dogs was accomplished primarily by Ms. Alyssa Browning who oversees all of the Top Tier K9 efforts and is the backbone of the company. Ms. Bridget Weidner, Ms. Madison Stafford. Ms. Alexia Barquet, Ms. Paige Hagberg, and Mr. Dean Weaver have worked diligently to have the dogs ready to deploy.

If you want to help with next year's program, please consider a charitable contribution to Canines 4 Heroes at https://caninesforheroes.org/ The dogs will be with their veterans on Veterans Day! What a great way for a community to support their warriors.
