Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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!

WOW, JUST WOW! Our Willow went from "Jumping Jack Flash" (that was the cute, but not-so-cute name she earned as a puppy) ... to "Well Behaved Willow" (after her training with FDF) 🙌 While we missed Willow terribly those 3 weeks, we felt comfortable leaving her with Joe and his amazing team for "board and train" Training Camp as they came VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by several people we spoke to in town. We know that her continued success relies heavily on our daily discipline practices with her and we are fully committed to ensuring that what Joe and his team worked so hard to accomplish with her will be instilled forever with our sweet Willow. Thank you Joe for teaching Willow the manners she deserves to live a well-behaved, fun-filled life!
I am so happy we found this place for our fur baby to stay while we are away. Other places have way too many dogs and the dogs are hoarded in a circle bc there is no where to play. FDF takes great care of our Bruno and he loves going there. I’m so happy we found this place!!

We left our yellow lab with Foster Dog Farm for three weeks to be trained, and they have done a fantastic job. Milo is solid, and it was painful to walk him anywhere. He would bark at people and other animals and pull us, scarring all my neighbors. Milo would bark at all my guests and bolt outside whenever we left the door open. He came home with a different dog. Now he listens to us; he constantly makes eye contact to get directions and is still the happy pup he has always been without being in trouble all the time. Another thing I appreciate about this place is that my Dog has allergies, and when they kicked in, they took him to the vet and medicated him for us. Thank you, Joe and crew, for your love and care for our Milo. We will continue using your service and letting our friends and families know how fortunate we are to have this wonderful place to use!

We sent our bernedoodle Ridge for a week while we went out of town. Joe and Allie did such a great job taking care of our boy! We loved getting pictures of him throughout the week. It made us feel so good to see he was enjoying his time there. He apparently really enjoyed the baby pool!☺️ We’re getting ready to take him for another week while we go out of town and it feels good to know he will be in good hands!
