My Siberian Husky graduated from the Puppy Class last week and while it’s our 3rd time training at Bruce’s First Friend K-9 we can’t ever get over how important and onpoint Bruce’s training is for a new puppy. We adapted our puppy 2 weeks before we started our class and we right before adapting knew that First Friend would be the only place to be for training our puppy. In 8 weeks, we had an amazing, well trained puppy who was so obedient, and well mannered. This was done through weekly classes and reaffirmation of 10 mins training everyday. I didn’t have the time to train more but I stuck to the same schedule and Bruce’s training concepts and it was GOLD! Highly recommend Bruce for your First Friend, you will NOT REGRET it! This is so essential to create the best experience for your puppy and YOU!

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.

Can’t give them enough credit for what they do! I have such a well-trained dog because of First Friends. They also deeply care about their customers- my dog was lethargic during a class and when I voiced concerns, Bruce personally called his vet to get us seen on a Saturday. He then followed up with how my dog was doing. I then had issues crating my dog, and he called to follow up on how it was going. Bruce and his team are very smart and very good at what they do, but they also care so much about the well-being of dogs and their owners. We will be back for more classes!!
