What people have asked about this business.
Joe, a neighbor told me about your business and I'd like to know how old does the dog need to be for training? I have a 4 month old Calhoun who is going wild. Please give me an idea when her training can start?
Hi Cyndi, We start private lessons as early as 8-10 weeks and training camps around 4-6 months of age. Feel free to give us a call and we can discuss your current challenges with your puppy, what your goals with training are, and what program may be your best option. Thank you!

Foster Dog Farms will make your pup feel right at home, literally! As you walk in the front door of their home, it’s easy to see how much they love pups and how much your pup will love it there: numerous dog beds, giant bowls, fuzzy blankets on the couch, treat bags galore, you name it! As a vet tech and highly certified trainer, Allie and Joe bring experience you simply cannot find anywhere else! As the mom of a very shy boy and one boy petrified of thunder, I was nervous to leave them with anyone! But after just one quick weekend stay, these boys did NOT want to come home! In fact, my shy boy now beats his crazy brother in the house and gets soooo excited to see Allie and Joe! And as for my thunder fearing boy, Allie solves the trick with music, lavender essential oils and lots of playing to tire him out! I no longer have to worry and even left him in their care during the Fourth of July this year! The best part is the over abundance of FANTASTIC pictures I receive every day! Allie and Joe have found a way to create such a unique experience, that I would not even call them a boarder and I will NEVER take my pups anywhere else! In fact, one reason my husband and I decided against relocating was Foster Dog Farms. We would never be able to find another Allie and Joe!

Allie and Joe take care of your dogs like they are their own. I have full confidence in their ability to handle any situation that may come up while I am away. One of my dogs is deaf and they handle it in stride. My other dog is a fence jumper and they have no trouble managing that as well.
On several occasions my flights have been delayed and they have gone out of their way to work with it. My dogs are always happy when I pick them up. I don't feel bad about leaving them at Foster Dog Farms like I did when I left them at other boarding facilities.

I have a smaller breed dog who has some personality quirks. Joe saw to it to manager her perfectly and the way he manages all the dogs is something I really value. I'm happy to have found a go-to place now for my dog while I travel.

We love Joe and Allie! There is no one else we would trust more then them with our dogs. Our dogs are like our babies and mean the world to us. They provide a structured and safe environment. They have a small boarding facility in their own home. Joe is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced dog trainer and Allie has many years of being a vet tech. Not to mention they are both the nicest people you will meet! If you are needing dog training, help with dog behavior or dog boarding Foster Dog Farms is the place!

Foster Dog Farms is a awesome place when looking to take your dog for boarding or daycare. They love and treat your pet just like he/she is one of there personal pets. My dog Jethro goes for boarding and daycare and I feel at ease knowing he is getting awesome care and one on one attention when it is needed while getting too make new friends. They are a phone call or text away and will even send you photo updates when able. Sometimes Jethro doesn't want to get in the car to go home after staying with Allie and Joe and this makes me know that they are awesome at what they do and I will happily continue to take my boy back to them!
