About The Family Fido

Here at The Family Fido, we believe in making training fun, easy, and positive, all while helping to create top quality family dogs. Dogs and humans communicate very differently, and learn differently from one another. Our goal is to educate the dog, but more importantly, educate the human on how to learn their dogs behaviors and mannerisms so they can be efficient teachers. When you are able to understand your dog and use positive, appropriate training techniques, you are able to create a stronger bond with your dog, all while creating a well mannered dog in your home and out in public. All of our training techniques are 100% positive reward-based, and will never use any form of punishment that could inhibit your dog's success.

The Family Fido is amazing!! Jessica and her staff do an amazing job! Great communication and even better care of our dog than I could have hoped for! He had been previously boarded at a different facility and came home sad and depressed, so I was hesitant to board him again, until I found The Family Fido!! They took terrific care of him for the week and I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate their care and compassion for my dog. I would highly recommend them! I feel confident leaving my dog with them knowing he will be in great hands! We won’t be going anywhere else for boarding but The Family Fido!

Jess is wonderful! Our dog, Mabel, is extremely anxious when away from home. Jess gave her extra love and attention to make her feel comfortable. Mabel got herself into a bit of a sticky situation during her stay and Jess went above and beyond to ensure that Mabel was cared for and that we felt at ease. Highly recommend!
