First Friend K-9 Training Home of von Adelshausen Kennel

First Friend K-9 Training is Central Indiana’s one stop training facility. We specialize in training starting with Puppy Kindergarten to Advanced and Agility Obedience Classes.

We can help you solve your behavioral problems with In Kennel Training, Private Lessons, or House Calls. Training is our full time business, NOT our hobby, and our services don’t stop with training.

We also offer Boarding, Daycare, Grooming, and large selection of retail items. Everyone that walks through our doors are not only clients but part of our extended family “pack”.

Classes

In Kennel Training

First Friend K-9 acknowledges the fact some owners just don’t have the time to train their “First Friend”, or maybe they’re having some behavioral issues that require more than just an obedience class.
