    Found Andrew after doing a lot of research of every place in and around Indy. He requires that the…read moredog be kennel trained. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer. All dog owners should have their dog professionally trained and budget accordingly. It is the best investment you can make for you and your dog's well-being.

    The first time we met Andrew, he came to our house to meet our newest editions: two 7 m/o, rescued,…read morepitbull littermates - Frankie and Ellie - who had developed some issues while running the streets but had not lost a bit of their boundless puppy energy. Andrew spent an hour or two at the house, observing the dogs and talking to us about what we were hoping to accomplish relative to what he was seeing. Before leaving, he gave us a couple of simple things to work on prior to the start of our consecutive board-and-train sessions two weeks later. Frankie and Ellie are now back with us and while they still have enormous amounts of energy, their ability to respond to commands, walk with a loose leash (zero pulling) and maintain their "place" is incredible! Selective use of the e-collars has even allowed us to redirect their attention in the midst of their loudest, most raucous roughhousing episodes. We can't recommend Andrew enough. He has a way that brings about significant behavioral changes in the dogs while building the confidence of owners: it's amazing to witness the transformations. We are so grateful that we found Andrew and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to reconnect and improve their relationship with their dog(s)!

    If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about dogs,…read moreI highly recommend Joe at Ultimate Canine. We started with five in-home sessions when our Bernese Mountain Dog was five months old, then enrolled her in the two-week Stay & Train program at 7 1/2 months. The combination was exactly what we were looking for. The in-home sessions taught us how to work with our dog, and the Stay & Train helped her become reliable even in high-distraction environments. Our goal was a well-mannered giant-breed dog who would be enjoyable to live with, confident around people, and a pleasure to take anywhere. Joe helped us transform a puppy who liked to jump, play bite, and pull on the leash into a well-mannered dog with reliable obedience and excellent leash manners. A month after training, she's doing great, and the skills have held up because we continue practicing them at home. What impressed me most was Joe's approach. He genuinely loves dogs, and it shows. His training is kind, respectful, and fun, so she was always excited to work with him. He also took the time to explain why dogs behave the way they do and tailored the training to our specific goals and questions. During the Stay & Train, he proactively kept us updated on her progress, and even afterward he has remained available whenever we've needed guidance. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ultimate Canine to anyone looking for a trainer who truly invests in both dogs and their owners.

He has been prompt and has communicated very well. Our dogs absolutely love him and respond well to his training techniques. He has helped my husband and I build our arsenal of training opportunities and helped our dogs be the best they can be. We thought our one dog was reactive and he helped us figure out that the one dog was just reacting to the energy of the other dog. Mind was blown!! Our dogs are 4 and we are just now learning this. I highly recommend Ultimate Canine and that you request Mitch for your training needs. I would have him back in an instant to help with anything that comes up with our dogs!

    I enrolled my dog in Level 2 training but chose to withdraw due to ongoing concerns with both the…read moretraining approach and overall customer experience. During sessions, communication from the trainer was often abrupt and, at times, dismissive. Instructions would be overridden mid-process, with the trainer stepping in to physically take control of my dog instead of allowing me to complete the exercise. This created confusion for my dog and disrupted the trust and consistency I was trying to build. I noticed big regressions in my dog's behaviors who had already mastered simple behaviors but simply signed up for permission of the social part to allow my dog to take advantage of their play area which has also been condemned by others. While Camp Bow Wow owners, who are also the trainers, are sold on reintroducing known skills, i.e., "sit," with their incentive methods--such as hand signals that were not part of her original training--without a clear transition seemed to add to that confusion. The inconsistency between my handling and the trainer's approach made it difficult to reinforce anything effectively at home. There were moments that felt unnecessarily harsh. For example, when my dog was in heat, the situation was handled with urgency and comments that came across as unprofessional rather than constructive. Customer service was another issue. Phone interactions were often abrupt, including being placed on hold without explanation and occasionally met with argumentative responses. In person, there were instances where staff handled situations without clear communication--such as physically repositioning my dog without first asking--which could have been handled more respectfully. Overall, I expected a more collaborative and professional environment, especially for a training setting where consistency and trust are critical.

    Camp Bow Wow refused to board my dog after claiming they had "lost his paperwork" since his…read moreprevious stay. No explanation, no honesty or clear facts, just apparently a ban on my dog for no apparent reason.

    Great. I cannot count the number of times people complement me on how well behaved our dogs are…read more They are full of energy. One of them cannot play enough. The other one can be stand-offish. But when I give them a command they do it. When I walk them, I can stop and have a conversation with someone and they are behaved. Bruce has a method. I followed it for novice training. Now we are in advanced training and agility. My dogs are happy dogs. And they are good citizen dogs. I would say Bruce didn't train my dogs though. He trained me (and my daughter) on how to train them. There are fun events through the year too - Christmas parties, Halloween parties, for the dogs and the people.

We adapted our puppy 2 weeks before we started our class and we right before adapting knew that First Friend would be the only place to be for training our puppy. In 8 weeks, we had an amazing, well trained puppy who was so obedient, and well mannered. This was done through weekly classes and reaffirmation of 10 mins training everyday. I didn't have the time to train more but I stuck to the same schedule and Bruce's training concepts and it was GOLD! Highly recommend Bruce for your First Friend, you will NOT REGRET it! This is so essential to create the best experience for your puppy and YOU!
