Ashley Foster Behavior Consultant and her doberman

Hello. I am Ashley Foster.

At the heart of Dogs by Foster lies a commitment to professional excellence, where innovative and effective solutions meet unparalleled expertise. I understand that navigating behavior and training challenges with your best friend can be complex, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming. My role is to help you make informed decisions that feel right for you and your dog, providing the support, coaching, and guidance needed to work through challenges together. I don’t believe in guarantees or quick fixes—just honest, compassionate, and professional guidance rooted in integrity and respect for both ends of the leash.

I am a certified behavior consultant with over thirty years of experience in professional training and behavior consulting . If you asked me why I continue this work, I’d tell you that as our understanding of dogs and their behavior deepens, so does our ability to build relationships that enrich our lives and theirs. Helping others experience this kind of meaningful human-dog connection drives my passion daily.
