New Location, a new Mission
Fortis Canine is proud to announce our relocation to Port Saint Lucie, Florida and the beginning of an exciting new chapter. As our operations evolve, Fortis Canine is transitioning away from independent dog training services within the KPRO K9 service area and moving into a more focused educational role. We remain committed to serving the community through PetTech Pet CPR and First Aid classes, AKC evaluations, service dog guidance, and owner education.
Your Pet’s Best Advocate
Dog training services are now being provided through KPRO K9, where I serve full-time under contract as a professional dog trainer. This alignment reflects my confidence in KPRO K9’s mission, ethics, and commitment to delivering structured, reliable, and results-driven training. For clients seeking professional guidance, lasting obedience, and meaningful progress with their dogs, KPRO K9 is the trusted choice moving forward.

Empower Yourself and Your Service Dog
Education and knowledge are power when navigating life with a service dog. I have experienced the questions, the unwanted approaches, and the challenges handlers face in public. That is why I created this one-stop Service Dog Resources page, built from years of personal experience and the information I have learned to help others know their rights and be prepared.
