Hampton roads! If you adopt this sweet girl I will offer free training around her food aggression!
She spent a day with me and is very trainable!
If you are active and love going on long walks this is definitely the girl for you! 😁
Our girl Sophia needs a HERO!
Sophia is a beautiful 4 month old lab/hound mix. She’s extremely loving with people, free spirited and loves to adventure! We’re unsure of her past, but she came to us with food aggression and gets jealous when other animals are around. Our staff has been working to give her consistency, but she really needs help to work through these concerns before she’s ready to enter into a home for adoption. Sophia needs someone who could work with her in a board and train setting or on a very regular basis so she can fully reap the benefits of her work. We are praying there is an experienced trainer willing to give her the guidance she so deserves! This sweet girl is ready to be the best puppy and we know she’s going to do amazing in this next step of her journey.

I’ve had a lot of fun working with Charlie and his owners! Charlie has come so far in the past 8 weeks and I couldn’t be more proud! 🐶

Seriously my sense of well being increases significantly when I’m outside with my dogs or the dogs I train. I highly encourage anyone with a dog to go outside and enjoy the sun with your pup! Not only will your dogs behavior and well being improve but so will yours! 🌲🌲
🚨Check out my latest client review!
Majors owners came to me because he would freak out, bark and jump all over the owners whenever they would hug. We were able to work together and teach him to place in his bed during that trigger. Our ultimate goal was to work on impulse control and emotional regulation and Major has made amazing progress. Super proud of Major and my clients for their hard work despite being many states away! 👏🏽🐾

I truly love what I do! Reviews like this make it all worth it.
🔔 Check out my most recent Board & Train review!
“We recently picked up our 9 month old Golden Retriever pup Philly from a 3 week board and train with Crossfire K9 Training, and I HIGHLY recommend it! This isn’t the first time we’ve used Devon either. We did some one hour sessions with him and our Saint Bernard a few years back.
Philly is a wild high energy pup, and had a lot of bad habits (my fault). We decided to send him to Devon with the basic obedience board and train package.
The 3 weeks he was gone, Devon provided multiple updates and pictures/videos to us. We were in communication almost every day.
Devon did a great job with Philly and when we picked him up, we both agree he’s come a long way. Our family went for a walk tonight and there was a dog in someone’s yard going bananas, and Philly completely ignored it. He knows all of the commands and actually listens to us now.
Since leaving, Devon has stayed in contact with us and encourages us to ask questions if we have any. I would highly recommend you trusting the Crossfire K9 team!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Philly goes home tomorrow, I’m definitely going to miss him and his puppy brain! This dog has taught me a lot about patience no offense 😂 and taking things slow! Phillys confidence has sky rocketed and we have no doubt achieved what we have set out to achieve! Thank you Philly for teaching me as much as I have taught you!

“I wish I could give Devon more than 5 stars. He is so knowledgeable on trainings pets and showing compassion for animals. My dog is not the same the dog as she was before she left. We are forever thankful for all the hard work you put into training our dog.”

Thanks for being a top engager and making it on to my weekly engagement list! 🎉

This can't be said enough!
Welcome Philly to the Crossfire K-9 crew! 🐾 Philly has joined us from SWVA where I actually trained his brother a few years back. I’m so honored to get to work with this boy and grateful his family chose me again to work on confidence building & obedience. Stay tuned to see Phillys transformation in 3 weeks! ⭐️

🔔Check out this review from our most recent dog training giveaway winner!🔔
“I can’t say enough good things about Devon and what his expertise has taught us, as well as about our 4-year-old black lab. Prior to training, our dog was without direction or purpose. Fast forward: after 7 trainings with Crossfire K-9, she has obedience, purpose, and patience; she is more proactive with our commands; and she is an all-around star of a pup! Devon really takes the time and effort to aid in better understanding what your dog wants from you and how to utilize tools and commands in order to achieve not only what the pup wants but also what you expect out of your dog! Great service, person, and experience! Thanks Devon!” ✍🏼

The amount of work that goes into this craft is crazy to me but I love it, I love the feeling of looking into the mirror during short breaks throughout the day looking at the man on the other side knowing that he is doing his best, giving his all and laying it all on the field for his clients and for their dogs.
The first rule of dog park you don’t talk about dog park! 🤫 🤐
Which one of Scarlett’s Heels do you like best?? And why is it number 1??? 😅
Capturing engagement is a crucial behavior to build! Easily the simplest thing to teach your dog the only thing you need is patience. Start in a low distractive environment first with a high value treat! Every time your dog looks up at you give him a treat!!! Move to more distracting environments as your dog progresses!!
That last day is inevitable…. Don’t wait until it’s too late to give your dog the best day of their life. Your dog is only a small part of your life, you are every part of your dogs life.
As hard as it is no matter the circumstances please advocate for your dog.
Day 6/30 board & train short and sweet video showcasing Hazels obedience session progression, no pressure used yet, making sure Hazel has the behaviors learned before utilizing any tools.
Take your dog outside and touch grass, they are just as depressed as you are!
When shopping for dog training treats I recommend finding something that you can withstand yourself! Why would you feed your dog something that you wouldn’t even eat?? @whosagoodboy_industries @saintroccostreats @hopeforliferescue
Hot topic, I agree with rehoming a dog…. As long as it’s for the right reasons, sometimes people just realize their lifestyle isn’t suitable for the dog, sometimes dogs bite children, sometimes dogs try to kill the family cat, some people break limbs and get cancer and can’t provide the necessary fulfillment for their dogs. I think the most selfish thing you can do is to keep a dog that you know you can’t provide for.
Day 5/30 Hazel is doing a terrific job following a lure and performing the basic foundational command requirements. She is still in the learning phase so we are not introducing any pressure to the behaviors just yet. I want training to be fun opportunities for Hazel to want to participate in vs. feeling like she’s forced to work. @carealotpets
Board & Train day 4! The stress is wearing down and the learning starts! We started implementing the positions for “heel”, “sit”, and “down” today, Hazel is becoming very enthusiastic with the training sessions and I know she’s going to do an amazing job through this process!!
Day 3/30 Hazel is transitioning into our house quite nicely and her stress levels have dropped significantly! I like to condition my markers for 3 days before using them for obedience! Like and follow for more, day 4 is where the fun starts!
Hazels 2nd day of her 4 week board & train! In this video we spent the majority of the day doing activities that relieve stress, I don’t believe in trying to force a dog to train unless they actually want to, if your trainer doesn’t focus on your dogs needs as a priority over obedience well you might want to think about that! It takes a dog roughly 3 days to adapt to a new change in their life! Let’s see what tomorrow has in store!!!
Join me and Hazel as we work on her obedience, reactivity, confidence, and independence!! This is day 1/30 during the first few days we will be focusing on stress reduction, adjusting to a new environment, and offering tons of enrichment through decompression walks, bully sticks, lick-mats, and marrow bones! If you want some great ideas for building a happier dog please reference my mentor @whosagoodboy_industries
This career definitely has its perks but the absolute best reason is to see the dogs I work with become confident, well mannered, and stress free! #dogtraining
