Fido's Farm

We offer dog sports and training as well as play-based boarding and daycare on a working farm just 8 miles off I-5 between Olympia and Tacoma. Our passion is providing a safe and fun place for both ends of the leash to play and learn. Corinne started her dog training life in grade school 4-H and well remembers the excitement and self-confidence she felt as she and her dog melded as a team. Her own agility dogs include a Pomeranian, an Australian Shepherd and her zippy Border collie, Jag, all of which have earned high level titles in various agility organizations. Corinne knows that the relationship you develop with your dog while training can bring many years of enjoyment. Come have fun with your dog!
