Does your dog...jump on people? Pull on his leash? Bark non stop? Jump on the furniture? Run away from you? Not listen to you? Not respect you?
Would you like your dog to...greet guests politely? Walk nicely with you while on and off leash? Quiet down when you tell him to? Sit with you on the couch, yet stay off of it when you tell him to? Come to you every time you call, even when he's off leash?
Here at First Friend Dog Training we are committed to helping you achieve your goals with your canine companion. We believe that by teaching your dog manners, along with obedience, it not only improves your life, it improves the life of your dog! Imagine being able to have guests over without having to put your dog into another room! Imagine bringing your dog to summer picinics and barbecues and allowing him to be off leash, yet having him under control, all the while deepening the bond between you and your dog!
First Friend uses a safe, non-confrontational, balanced method of training that will give you results at the end of your very first lesson. We incorporate toys, treats, and praise along with the use of leashes, flat collars, and e-collars to help teach your dog what is excpected of him. This method is easily understood by dogs, and owners, which allows us to gain off leash control of your dog in just a matter of weeks!
Our goal is to help make your dog an accepted, enjoyable member of the family while still allowing him to "be a dog"!
