The Family Fido

I have taken my dog to Family Fido for daycare since she was a puppy. She is very high energy and needed the socialization. The farm is a perfect setup with large pastures for the dogs to run and play. Jessi’s expertise with dogs is such an asset. Her staff is great with the dogs and I feel secure knowing she is safe and happy. She loves going to the farm! I acquired my 2nd dog from one of Jess’s rescue litters and he has been a delight. I have also boarded the dogs when away. So nice to know they are someplace where they are well taken care of and that I don’t need to worry. Love Family Fido!

We have taken our dog to The Family Fido since he was a puppy for "puppy boot camp" to help us get some basic manners. He is five now and loves to go to the farm. Any time we get his stuff to go there he starts dancing and whining with excitement. When he gets home from the farm, he's always exhausted and sleeps about twice as much as usual for several days, so we know he gets lots of activity and puppy enrichment to keep him busy!

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Family Fido. We first connected with them through Jessi and Nicole's rescue, Forever Fido, when we adopted our dog, Riku, and their team have been an invaluable part of his journey ever since. After bringing Riku home, we completed puppy training courses with Jessi and Nicole, whose knowledge, and positive reinforcement methods gave us the tools we needed to build a strong foundation. What sets Family Fido apart is that their training philosophy isn't focused on quick fixes—it is designed for sustainable, lifelong success for both dogs and their families. The skills and confidence we gained through training continue to benefit us every day. As Riku matured, we had Jessi do a home consultation focused on successful apartment living, crate training, loose leash walking, and relaxation protocol. The impact of Family Fido's training has extended far beyond basic obedience. The confidence Riku gained, along with the confidence we gained as owners, opened doors for us to foster dogs for their rescue and even bring training classes to our apartment community. Their emphasis on education, relationship-building, and community support creates a ripple effect that benefits dogs and people alike. Riku regularly attends daycare and boarding, and we always know he is in capable hands. The staff genuinely care about every dog and go above and beyond. Family Fido is a family owned, small business that makes an enormous impact in Rochester. Whether you have a young puppy, a newly adopted rescue, an adult dog, or a senior companion, I recommend Family Fido. Their approach to individualized training for each dog and commitment to lifelong success make them an exceptional resource for dog owners at every stage of the journey.
