First Friend K-9 Training

"We've trained several of our dogs at First Friends K-9 classes. Over the years, we consistently received compliments regarding how well behaved our dogs were. Bruce is awesome with managing difficult behavioral "issues". It's so nice to be able to take your dog anywhere and know you can trust them and they are happy. As an owner, you have to follow the program of consistency outlined in the classes. The results won't disappoint."

"We have been part of the First Friend family for 5 years now. We walked in one Saturday morning back in 2018 lost and looking for the first steps to take with our rescued German Shepherd/Husky mix. Bruce and his wife Debbie were amazing. They gave us tons of information to get started off on the right foot with our puppy. We immediately signed up for their puppy classes, then proceeded through the novice course, and have been attending the weekly Advanced Course since that time. When the opportunity came to purchase a puppy from one of Bruce’s litters we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. We once again completed all of the training with our 2nd dog and are constantly amazed at all of the compliments we get about our dogs when in public. We cannot say enough good things about this facility, the quality of instruction provided, and the amazing staff. Bruce, Debbie, and all of the staff are truly family. The excitement from our dogs when they get to see their friends, humans & four legged, is such a special thing to see."

"This is our second puppy class at first friend in over 15 years. We came right back bc our first experience was so good with our first pup. Bruce has a gift for this. He understands dogs but also people and tries to set folks up for success. We enjoy the laughs too as the classes are as entertaining as they are focused and educational. Everything is easy to understand and we are coming out with a dog who has a great foundation."

"I heard about FFK9 from a coworker, a person at a pet store, and saw reviews online so I decided to give them a shot with my first dog. We went to puppy class and he learned a lot. People comment on how well behaved he is to other dogs his age when we are out. He gets very excited when we pull into the parking lot because he knows he gets to see all his friends. He goes to daycare once a week too, and the staff are super nice and friendly. The play and learn training you can do during daycare is great. So many cute photos of my pup. You can tell that Bruce, the owner, really cares about dogs and what he’s doing. Signed up for novice class to continue our fun."

"I took my very first dog Willow to both puppy kindergarten and the novice class and I'm so happy I did. Bruce and the trainers make it so obvious how much they love what they do and they love working with all the dogs and the trainers. They're super passionate and knowledgable not just on dog training but also how to have a great relationship with your dog. They put in an effort to get to know you and encourage you throughout the process. They're a little out of the way for me but I trust them so much that I'm willing to make the trip out there when Willow needs to go to daycare. I highly highly recommend going to First Friend if you have a new puppy, a new adult dog, or a current dog you're wanting some guidance on how to train. Here is Willow at her first day at puppy kindergarten and her graduation from the novice class :)"
