Easy, effective online group puppy and dog training classes and private training in the Hudson Valley or anywhere you call home!
Online training provides a safe way to train up the dog of your dreams.
Train your dog without ever leaving the comfort of your home, no matter where you live. I’ll “come to you” via the internet at a time that works for your schedule.
No tech savvy required! If you can use Facebook, we can get your dog trained. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with video, an internet connection, and your dog.
I’ve always prioritized having fun with the training process, and it’s no different online. We’ll use only force-free training methods for stress-free training for both you and your dog.
How we get your training done has changed a bit, but the First Friend Formula hasn’t: Convenience, Results, and Peace of Mind. With nearly 35 years of experience, you’ll be in good hands even though we can’t be together in person.
Get a great start with your new puppy. We’ll address common puppy training issues like housetraining, biting, chewing, and excess energy, teach simple basic manners foundations, and have fun with socialization exercises to help your pup grow up into a polite, easy dog. Don’t wait until after the pandemic—the best time to train your puppy is NOW.
