FirstBarkThe crew at FDF Canine Services are wonderful! I am so thankful to have them to board our dogs. We have rescue litter-mates that don't get along people, other dogs or each other. We've been told by 2 other facilities that they can't help us. FDF said, 'yes we can' and yes they do! The girls have fun there and I see it from the pictures I get. Thank you FDF, you gave us family vacations back!

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!

We LOVE FDF! We rescued a 2 year old German short haired pointer and sent her to be with Joe and his team for 3 weeks of training. We were very impressed with the facilities and how the dogs were treated. After 3.5 weeks of training our dog was not only happy upon return she was extremely well behaved. Joe was very clear as to what she would and would not be learning as well as teaching us everything we would need to do at home to maintain and continue our dogs training. We also chose to board our dog here while on vacation and she was a happy camper. They sent us pics throughout the stay so we knew she was having fun. Highly recommend them!

I was referred to FDF Canine Services for training my dog by my sister in law who has 4 dogs of her own and fosters. It was important to find a place I felt comfortable sending my baby boy to especially for and extended period. From the start Joe was very informative and getting the info he needed on what we needed to work on w our dog. Once I brought him he could tell I was still going to miss him and I wasnso happy with the constant updates and communications I had with them. After completing his training he has been incredible. It is a night and day difference walking him on a leash. He really learned and they also give you the owner the go home work to keep up his skills. Im.amazes by what they were able to accomplish. Thank you for helomh us with our boy! Highly recommend to anyone needed to train their dogs.
We did the 3-4 week board and train. Our dog was so happy here, and the training was simple (for the hunans) and very effective. Highly recommend. Looking forward to our follow-ups.
Always take great care of our dogs.
