Dogs by Foster

Ashley is committed to helping you work with your dog and to help your dog feel comfortable and safe and polite in your home and I just love her energy. She's easy to be with and you can tell she is drawing from loads of experience. She helped us with a border collie mix who we adopted at age six and a half who was having trouble being around strangers. He would nip at, or it bite, them if they reached for his face to pet him. After putting in place the directives she gave us over three meetings, he has not bitten anyone who has reached for his face to pet him, and he is much calmer and more confident. Yay!

For months I struggled with a troubling behavior at home that left me feeling frustrated and angry with my dog. After testing, our veterinarian recommended a behavioral specialist. Although I was initially skeptical about a virtual therapist, I’m so glad we found Ms. Foster. She was patient, perceptive, and guided us with clear, practical steps — and together we solved the problem. I highly recommend her to anyone facing similar challenges.

I have a bully breed dog who experienced a decline in social skills and confidence after undergoing major surgery. Traditional training methods just weren't the right fit, and that's when Ashley was recommended to me. From the start, I've been incredibly impressed with her deep knowledge and patience. It's immediately clear how passionate she is about what she does and how much thought she puts into every conversation about your dog's behavior and progress. Ashley is also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which has made the process feel that much more supportive. While our journey with her is still ongoing, I finally feel optimistic about the direction my dog and I are heading. You and your dog couldn't be in better hands!
