STORIES
"Angie is fantastic for boarding! We've used her a few times and have loved how Angie cares for our dog like her own. She makes sure to keep him up to date with his training while still letting him run and have fun. We would definitely recommend her!!"
— Lisa B.
"We sent our 4 year old Sproodle, Eli, and our 10 month old Goldador, Emmett, to board and train for two weeks with Angie. Eli is a great dog, but has a lot of anxiety especially around other dogs and people he doesn’t know. Emmett was pulling really hard on the leash and just needed to learn some manners. Both of them had issues barking at the door whenever someone walked by and needed to learn how to coexist as Emmett was new to our home. Angie was wonderful with both dogs. Now both dogs are better about guests coming over, loose leash walking, and overall have much better manners. They also bonded while they were away and are great friends! We cannot thank Angie enough for training our pups. It really has been life changing. Thank you Angie!"
— Ashley R.
"Cooper James went from not having any recall and only sitting when he knew there was a treat in my hand, to sitting when we get to the edge of the side walk without needing to be asked IN THREE WEEKS.
Angie was such a great help throughout our experience, checking in and making herself available to answer all of my questions. My dog (rescued under 2 months ago) seems to be significantly more comfortable (no longer screaming when I leave) and eager to work for a “good boy”.
Looking forward to the ongoing group training classes we can now start going to, as well as having a place to board my pup that I feel really secure about.
Angie helped show me how to have fun training my newest best friend. Thank you!!"

"Forever Home Dog Training was very helpful in helping train my 3 year old Canelo. Who would run away constantly and would not listen. He has since come back with better manners and being able to recall. I'm so happy and satisfied with the results! I couldn't recommend Forever Home Dog Training enough."
