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”.
Current News & Events
Toys for Tots 2024
Once again First Friend K-9 will be helping collect toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program. We will have several collection boxes in our front lobby/training class room available for clients who are interested in donating. They are accepting new, unwrapped toys for kids of all ages (remember to keep the older kids in mind too because that’s where they usually run low!). So please help fill these boxes this year again like you always do! Collections will be open until Thursday, December 19th. Feel free to visit toysfortots.org for more information.

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.
