FirstBarkJessi’s skills at training dogs in a safe and effective way are really top notch. After visiting her location many times and seeing her work with Many dogs, I have never seen a situation she couldn’t handle. She is especially good at working with reactive dogs and helping them have a better more positive life.

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 a very professional and compassionate family oriented training and boarding facility. I’ve seen Jessica do wonders with a number of pups and dogs. The dogs love it there and are so excited to work with her. Her animal behavioral expertise shows through at her home training facility as well as her in home consults. In addition she has taken in pups/dogs that don’t have another option, loves and trains them and successfully places them with the right family, after taking the time to work with them too. Definitely recommend her services.
Totally impressed with the care and training the dogs receive as well as the time spent with dog owners to be successful in continuing the training once the dogs return to their respective homes. The facility is welcoming and friendly for both dogs and owners. I encourage you to check out The Family Fido facility.
Jessi has always been very flexible with me and my puppy for care and training. She has always gone above and beyond for my puppies needs when I am out at FamilyFido. I watch her interact with all dogs with great care and concern for their individual needs. I would recommend FamilyFido to anyone looking for a place where they know that their family pet is well taken care of.
