This was our top choice for dog training for our 2 year old rescued german shepherd, but we unfortunately could not get ahold of them over a 2 month span. Both my partner and I texted, called, and emailed but they were unresponsive. We had to delay dog training and find another dog trainer due to lack of response.

I train with Brigitte & Andy every week and from my first visit, they were able to sort out issues with my dog that I struggled with with for a long time. They can quickly read a dog & break down the information so both dog & handler aren't overwhelmed . I cant thank this team enough for all the hard work they put into my dogs and into me as a handler. I have learned so much and am grateful to have them as teachers

I called today to schedule an appointment for behavioral assessment, was able to get appt. Same day. Brigitte went above & beyond our expectations and spent extra time to assure us that our out of control 7month Large German Shepard is trainable and we will not have to give him up . We can’t thank her enough ❤️Looking forward to training here !

Thanks to Fox Hill Farm my beautiful girl is calmer, happier, more friendly, and obedient than ever. When they took her in for training, she was over 2 years old and I thought there was no hope. Not only did they completely reform our dog from the inside out, they helped her recover from past traumas to help her behave more around other dogs. I cannot stress enough how wonderful Andy and Bridget are, this is the type of family local business you should contribute to. They have the most adorable French Bulldogs for sale every season too❤️

The team/family at Fox Hill goes above and beyond in all measures with great precision. They love what they do, and it shows in every aspect of their handling when it comes to your furry friend(s). You can feel the passion that drives their every move, knowing your pet is in good hands. They work quickly with results that prove their skills immediately. A quick walk around the farm will show that their animals are immaculately taken care of and show nothing but love and affection to whoever needs it. Following their lead, they can walk you down a path, providing their lifetime of animal care and training at your hands. You and your pet(s) will always be welcomed with a warm smile and open arms at Fox Hill Farm and K9. They even have an online store!

Signed our dog up for the Basic Obedience (3 weeks) program and the training was incredible. Significantly improved obedience and temperament. Very impressed

Fox hill farm is the most genuine place I’ve ever worked with. First off, we have the most perfect french bulldog from them and probably always will have a frenchie from them. We have their trainer Taylor to thank for working with us and not only training him, but spending time helping us learn how to train him. She’s professional and knowledgeable but also treats us like family. She’s extremely dependable.Furthermore, we approached Brigitte about a new rescue dog we adopted. He’s been real trouble to us and we needed advice on what to do. She spent a few hours of her valuable time talking to us in person about him and helping us make some big decisions. She was extremely honest with us and it was to no benefit to her, speaking from friend to friend. We didn’t feel rushed at all, she answered all of our questions with full explanation and her deep level of knowledge and experience is something I have never seen anywhere else. Shortly after our visit we received DNA results on our rescue and everything Brigitte had speculated about him was COMPLETELY dead on, backed up by these results.When it comes to dogs, she’s the expert. We will always trust her and turn to her for anything we need. She cares about these animals with passion and hold her training to the highest of standards. This business does excellent work and we will recommend it to anyone. So thankful to have found them and have them in our lives.

The trainers at Fox Hill Farm are truly amazing! I am extremely grateful for the training and knowledge that they taught us! We were able to get our 12 year old dog crate trained, which we never thought was possible. We have peace in our home again. We can’t thank you enough!

A relative of mine had a great experience with Fox Hill Farms. She bought her dog from a different country and had a hard time bonding with him and getting him to understand commands. After training at Fox Hill, her dog is so well behaved, loving and pretty much ready for competitions!! Will be letting everyone know about Fox Hill Farms.

Highly Recommend. The staff at Fox Hill Farm & K9 is knowledgable, dependable, and extremely talented. I have a high-drive working line German shepherd. Brigitte and Andy have given me the tools to turn my wild beast into a happy balanced dog. I am able to bring him to the beach (off leash), on the boat, and to all the dog friendly dog stores in the area free of any worry. I learned I was failing my dog, my dog wasn’t failing me. You are doing your dog a disservice not choosing Fox Hill Farm & K9!

My 5 year old golden retriever stayed at Fox Hill Farm for 3 weeks for dog training this past July. Quincy had behavior issues that I needed support with, such as getting in and out of my SUV, Down & Quiet. When I picked up Quincy, I was instructed to leave her new prong collar on 24/7 for the following 6 months to continue her training. I felt the collar was tight but wanted to follow the advice of the professional. 3 weeks later, I took her to my vet because I was not able to remove the prong collar. The prongs had become imbedded in her skin and caused a staph infection. My vet informed me prong collars are seldom used any more due to infection and only for training purposes. Never intended for extended use because of the risk of infection. I am also challenged with Quincy's new aggression towards other dogs. It is completely out of character for her to pick fights. She used to love socializing in a very playful and appropriate manner. My vet believes Quincy was mistreated to create this new behavior. I purchased a gentle lead today with hopes of teaching her to get along with other dogs. I am sharing my horrible experience with hopes of preventing others the trauma that my dog & I are experiencing.

I have trained and observed training at Fox Hill Farm and have recommended them to friends and family members who have also had great experiences there. They recognize strengths and needs of the dogs to train and give clear instruction to owners and handlers. Their dogs are fantastic!

I highly recommend fox Hill Farm. We got our German Shepherd pup (Lady)from them at 8 weeks old. She is my first dog ever & I have a 4 year old son 1.5 year old daughter and another child on the way. At 9 months old Lady was a COMPLETE disaster she spent a good amount of time in her crate because unfortunately I could not control her even for short periods of time. I tried a basic training program elsewhere that did nothing, I had to quit the program cause I could not even get her to the class she was so out of control. I sent her to Fox Hill Farm for the 2 week board and train. I was sceptical if this would work but decided it would be worth the money just for a 2 week vacation from my out of control dog. We just got home with her today and we have a lot of training to do with her still but she is a different dog already. She has not spent any time in her crate all day which is so incredible. She is actually tolerable and I can't believe it. I plan to continue her training with Andy & Bridgitte @ Fox Hill Farm.

This place saved my dogs life. She was falling apart until she met Andy and Bridget, thanks to them I have the most well behaved German Shepard I’ve ever even met! I also recently bought one of their Frenchies they had for sale.........can I just say, BEAUTIFUL DOG!!!!! I will never have a dog without having Fox Hill Farm be part of their life, or the beginning of their life. Thanks Andy and Bridget 😍

Brigitte was very helpful and my puppy is very healthy and active. He passed his initial exam with flying colors and is full of energy. I would highly recommend Fox Hill for your GSD.

What I found at fox hill farm six years ago is still true today .. trustworthy, honest and above all knowledgeable dedicated people.. my success raising three South African Mastiffs would not have been possible if it were not for Brigette , Andy and the fox hill family. I would go nowhere else!! Grateful beyond measure

Andrew is the best trainer in the world. He trained my dog, Zajka Vom Hayes Haus in three weeks, and has a personal relationship with anyone who walks into his facility. I 1000% recommend Fox Hill for anything dog related.

At best unprofessional, but more likely incompetent. I had high hopes for this place but after dropping my dog off and receiving some very disorganized and unclear information, I asked to have a follow up phone call and was told I already “had my chance to ask questions”. At no point did they ask for my dogs vaccination records and the only expertise the trainer has is that “his mother had german shepherds”. Luckily I got my dog back safely.

I've trained at Fox Hill farm many years,the training programs are by far the best, for all breeds, the breeding programs are top notch, putting every consideration into every litter, highly recommend, for any k9 needs, the place to go!

After three weeks of training, Zajka is back! She is amazing! What a gift it is to have people in your life such as Andy Deitz and Brigitte Deitz at Fox Hill Farm & K9. I can't even describe how much respect and trust I have for the both of them. She came back a totally different dog! Her manners are perfect. And she couldn't be happier to be home. (No offense, Andrew :p) *****

Brigitte, Andy and (Emma too) are top notch trainers who go above and beyond just dog training they show internationally! That's true commitment!

I love supporting our local farms. I absolutely LOVE the Buffalo dip. Glad it didn't have blue cheese in it. 😁 I will be returning next week.

This place is horrible. They sold me a $5000 “protection” dog that doesn’t even have basic obedience down let alone protection. I asked them for help learning how to handle the dog and they told me sure, I could pay $40 for each 15min lesson. I didn’t realize that I had to pay for a dog then pay to train him as well. This place is a scam and they don’t even see the worth in their dogs.

Bridget Andy and the whole team take great care for your pets. The education you receive in how to work with your dog is second to none
