Truly the best place in town to take your dog. Bruce and his team have helped us train five family dogs and they all have lived out their lives as the best trained dogs in our friends and family circle.

I highly recommend bruce and his well organized novice training course. i want to start off and say i adopted our puppy who was a stray a few weeks prior to class. i was completely lost and overwhelmed with my puppies reactivity towards others dogs and his lack of obedience. i was questioning myself on what did i get myself into adopting him. Bruce and his course saved us. Bruce has a class every week which he thoroughly explains expectations and give you the guidance you need as handlers to successfully train your dogs with great exercises. it’s crazy to look at those pictures of my puppy (Hoosier) staying with all those other puppies surrounding him and compare him to when i first adopted him! Highly recommend this service.

Our experience with First Friend K-9 Training has changed our life at home with our dog for the better. The novice class was perfect for our almost 1-year-old doodle. It starts with lots of instruction for the owner, helpful tips and so much more. The weekly training class shows you exactly what to do with your dog each day to help them progress through the program. Bruce and all his staff have such a heart for dogs, and it shows in everything they do. Highly recommended!

After adopting our puppy two months ago we knew he would need some training. A family friend had gone to First Friend and said it was a great experience. We could not have imagined going anywhere else to have Hoosier trained. Bruce and his team are excellent. They are very caring, helpful, informative, and make class very enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will be signing up for the next training class!

Our pup, Luna, is a Boxer/German Shepherd mix- lots of energy and very head strong and smart! Bruce and his trainers taught us basics of dog training by talking us through, modeling, and allowing us to practice while they gave corrective feedback. Bruce is an excellent teacher because he is high energy, funny, and keeps things moving! We also did the boarding/training for one week with Alexis- another wonderful teacher/trainer! I think Luna loves her more than us! 🥰
