Our Approach
We believe dogs need structure in their daily lives - they need to know what to expect and what is appropriate. We believe in teaching dogs structure in their day-to-day interactions with each other and people, keeping lessons clear and positive.
Both owners are well-known in the Roanoke Valley and frequently showcase their abilities at local events (including Woofstock, Pet Ex, Dogtoberfest, and the Roanoke Go Fest). Come out and see us in action!
Fido Fitness is 100% locally-owned!
