UPDATE: First Friends is only able to assist established clients and limited referrals at this time.
First Friends is more than a dog training business. The services provided guide families with dogs through many life changes - learning to live better together!
Together we can address: housetraining, basic manners, door-darting, leash skills, mouthing, and inappropriate greetings like jumping up. Other issues are more complex and require more time and patience. Some of these are: fearful behavior, resource guarding, and other pet-to-pet or pet-to-person conflicts. Because all situations are unique, there can be no complete guarantees but First Friends has been successful in helping with all of these issues.

Jen from First Friends is a compassionate and knowledgeable dog (and human) trainer. She took the time explain not just the foundational steps, but why each step in the training process worked. This gave us a much deeper understanding of dog behavior (and made the training so much more relatable of why we were doing certain things in the order we did them.) Jen’s deep understanding of animals and the array of training tools she uses is impressive. I highly recommend her classes.

Jen is a great dog trainer. No matter what the problem, I am confident that she can offer the solution. She helped me with my dog Atticus in several areas but most notably his reactivity. Jen is knowledgeable, supportive and thorough. Her written follow up to each visit was a great help for me in meeting the goals we had set for me and my dog. I could always count on getting excellent advice and would not hesitate to call on her in the future.
