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”.

Spring Break: Play & Learn Availability
The upcoming weeks will cover our busiest time of the year, Spring Break. Due to the increased number of dogs participating in our In-Kennel Training program during this period, we will most likely have limited availability for our Play & Learn services in the next few weeks (in particular from Fri. 4/4 – Mon. 4/14).
You are more than welcome to call and schedule a Play & Learn for a specific day ahead of time. If you wish to confirm availability for walk-in Play & Learns, please call the office 317-842-4199 prior to drop off. Normal open availability for Play & Learns should resume by Tues. 4/15. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

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.
