Dog Training Classes
Friends for life dog training and it's owner, Dennis Fehling and Pam Bigoni have provided the best dog training I have ever Experienced. I am training my third dog and the first adopted adult dog. She came to me having never been socialized as a puppy and at two years old was afraid of other people and animals. In one month of training with Dennis, she was wagging her tail at strangers, greeting other dogs without being afraid: a much more confident dog. After five months of classes with Friends for life dog training, she passed her Canine Good Citizens class!! We continue to take classes from Dennis and recommend his training school to everyone we know with a dog. Thanks Dennis and and Pam!! Diane and Ray Anderson and thier girl Beaches.

Nose work provides an oppourtunity for your dog to have an outlet for their natural hunting and scenting abilities. Nose work engages the dog in the game and teaches the handler how to read their dog and build a team relationship all while having fun. Nose work is a great skill to develop in your dog that can build your dogs confidence. It can reduce environmental sensitivity and provide mental and physical exercise through teamwork with you, their handler. We are building in the dog a desire to search for something we want them to find, a willingness to search for it when we want them to and an ability to communicate to us that they have found it, knowing that there is a great reward at the end of that search.
