Welcome to ValkyrieK9 & FIST K9

FORGING ELITE K9 PARTNERSHIPS THROUGH CLARITY, CONSISTENCY & PURPOSE
At ValkyrieK9 and FIST K9 Detection, we don’t just train dogs—we build confident, reliable K9s ready for real-world performance. We bridge the gap of miscommunication between handler and dog through balanced, motivational training that drives engagement and discipline. Our methods empower dogs to control their own outcomes through clear communication, repetition, and purpose-driven practice—creating muscle memory, reflex response, and conditioned behavior that lasts.
