"Today my friend and I brought our four labs to 3 Dog Farm for a day of romping around. We didn't really know what to expect but let me tell you that 3 Dog Farm exceeded our expectations. My two black labs, Riley and Abby, loved the generous amount of sticks and water play. I love the fact that it is completely fenced in. What a sense of calm that gave me. Abby loves to run but we often run on her own if given the chance. Thanks so much for giving her that chance while still keeping my fears in check that she wouldn't come back. The pond was fabulous. What a perfect sunny day for a visit! Had we known that the lawn chairs were for us to take we would still be there. :) We will definitely be back. Thanks again for making this happen for us. The dogs have been passed out since we left. SUCCESS! - Thanks,Tanya
From Zoey and her Mommy and Daddy...
Thanks for watching me at camp. I had a great time!
Hi – I am Boomer...
"When I was less than a year old, my human mom noticed that I was not getting along with other dogs. When we would go walking – I would see another dog and go nuts by barking
and lunging. My human mom had to hold the leash with both hands. We tried all types of classes and nothing was working. One day, we went to 3 Dog Farm. I was in heaven. I got to run, swim in a pond and best of all – meet other dogs. I was afraid at first, but all the dogs were so friendly that I didn’t feel scared. 3 Dog farm has lots of fun things to do. I love going to 3 Dog Farm."
My pooches, Magnolia & Rebel, wanted me to take this down for them...
“3 Dog Farm is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!” (They can’t spell, but they told me that they felt like if I spelled it there would be more emphasis.) “There isn’t a better place on earth than 3 Dog Farm! Mom and Dad got us a nice fenced in back-yard at home, and we like that well enough, but the farm is so much more fun! We don’t ever get tired of running around the pond, swimming after tennis balls, and chasing butterflies in the field. There’s so much room to run around and so many different things to explore we never get bored!!”
"As a Fur-kid mom, it’s important to me that my dogs are happy, exercised, and TIRED at the end of the day. 3 Dog Farm never ceases to produce these results. The dogs always have an awesome time and I always love getting out in the fresh air and having a taste of rural Loudoun County. 3 Dog Farm is beautiful in all seasons and is an excellent place to unwind from the rat-race of the Washington, D.C. metro area. If we’re uptight, so are our dogs! 3 Dog Farm is the perfect place for them to get out and just act like dogs!!"
"The trails around the pond provide a great outlet for excess energy and the pond itself is a great place for some low-impact swimming exercise. But beyond the property itself, Gina and Michael are the most amazing hosts that a pooch owner could ask for! Their state-of-the-art building is a fantastic training location, plenty of room and great equipment. Our expectations are always exceeded. And if we’re lucky, the dogs will get a special treat if Gina’s whipped up a batch of her famous Farm Frosties (all natural doggie ice cream treats)!!"
"3 Dog Farm is truly a doggie utopia."
