What people have asked about this business.
Ashley, my sister-in-law in Coppell, Tx (suburb of Dallas) is getting a new puppy the first part of November. Since Cooper and I loved your training method, do you know anyone in that area that teaches the same method that you do?
Hi Cheryl! I do not know of anyone personally. They can visit CCPDT.org and do a trainer search to find a certified trainer that is close to them.
Give Coop a good pet for me!

Ashley is warm and encouraging. She has helped us make tremendous progress with our adopted dog, who has proven to have significant fear issues, including stranger danger, and protective/guarding behaviors (both genetic and learned). To watch our dog come down from a place of absolute fear to calmly accepting treats and following simple commands from a stranger has been absolutely amazing, and it's all thanks to Ashley's expertise. We have recommended Ashely and Dogs by Foster to several friends, and will continue doing so!

We so appreciated our training appointment with Ashley with our 4 month old puppy. Her positive reinforcement approach really works! We were amazed by how quickly our puppy responded to the training. Plus we received detailed notes on the exercises she demonstrated for us to refer to moving forward! This training was absolutely worth our time and the investment in our relationship with our puppy. Thank you Ashley!

Our working line GSD has had a few board and trains with Chris and the others here. We are grateful to them for the foundation our (now 14 month old) puppy has. Thank you!
