Convenient
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.
Fun
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.
Effective
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.
