About Us
Fido’s was born out of a love for animals and a need in the community for an excellent animal care provider. From one woman’s desire to see a positive environment for dogs, Fido’s has grown into one of the top choice’s for training and daycare in Stratford.
Fido’s playground opened May 7, 2007 and has been in its current home on Monteith since 2009. An open concept 2500 sq ft playroom provides freedom and fun for your dog to roam; while allowing you to see into the space where your puppy is during the day. The fully enclosed 1000 sq ft outdoor space also allows ample space for your family member to run around.
Fido’s playground is owned and operated by Cheryl Mayberry a certified canine training behaviorist and Canadian pet dog trainer. She continues to serve her customers with the best in canine behavior training and psychology by attending seminars, classes and conferences from the likes of Dr. Ian Dunbar, Patricia McConnell Ph.D and many more outstanding positive dog trainers.
Fido’s playground is a place for dogs to come and make friends while learning proper socialization in a safe and secure environment. Dogs of all shapes and sizes play together like they’ve been living together in the same house for years. And if you need a little extra help with your dog, whether it’s basic training or behavioral issues, Fido’s provides a wide variety of options to suit.
