Dog Training that transforms both ends of the leash.

Connection over control. Peace over perfection.

At A Fetchin Good Time, we focus on real-life dog training that builds trust, strengthens your bond, and brings peace back into your home. No judgment.

Just grounded support, practical tools, and a relationship-first approach that works.

You love your dog, but lately, things feel hard.

Maybe you can’t leave the house without them panicking.
Maybe your walks feel more like battles than bonding.
Maybe you’re doing everything you think you should be doing, and still feel like you're falling short.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I work with overwhelmed dog owners every day who are trying their best but need a new path forward. One that feels calm, clear, and rooted in understanding—not force, not confusion, and definitely not shame.

I’m Ashley,

Dog trainer. Mom. Nature-lover. The heart behind A Fetchin Good Time.

I help overwhelmed dog owners build calm, trusting relationships with their dogs through honest, effective, relationship-based training.

My work is all about real-life support: no gimmicks, no judgment, just clear communication and structure that helps both you and your dog feel more grounded.

I’m here to help you create a life with your dog that feels more peaceful, connected, and free.

What our clients say

  • Maggie/ Bourbon

    “…while I still have my excited little wiggle butt, I'm now able to take that energy and use it for good instead of being overwhelmed. Ashley helped me and my dog get to our next lever of training, and her patience has been amazing with helping us get there.”

  • Choppa

    “Ashley is absolutely amazing! We were looking for some help with our very stubborn, strong-willed Frenchy and found exactly that with Ashley. She is a no non-sense trainer in the best way. Throughout his training Ashley kept us well informed of his progress and sent him home with helpful tools that have aided in our success in keeping him sharp. These tools coupled with being available to give advice when needed has helped us tremendously since Choppa has been home.”

  • Nicole/ Scout and Nellie

    “Ashley transformed our Golden Retriever puppy Scout! She not only taught him basic skills with a great foundation but took the time to teach us so we could keep up the training. She also gave a great refresher course for our older Doodle -”

  • Olivia/ Ein

    “…We learned so much about our dog Ein behavior as well as good strategies for helping to get him on the right track.”

This isn’t just about obedience. It’s about freedom.


The freedom to enjoy your walks again.


The freedom to leave the house without stress.


The freedom to finally feel good about how you're showing up for your dog.
