FDSA Ranch is a 100-acre property located in the heart of Petaluma, CA.

Where people, country, and the art of training dogs come together

Come spend a day in the country… pet the cows, visit the sheep and their guardian llama, and train your dogs in a genuine rural setting. The ranch is alive with the rhythms of farm life—pastures, livestock, fresh air, and open space. It’s a place where dogs learn to focus and work as part of a living, breathing community.

At FDSA Ranch, we celebrate dogs in all aspects of society, but our focus is on dogs trained with a purpose, and the handlers who study and learn through Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. If that describes you, you’re exactly where you belong.  

Whether your ideal day means training and learning alongside other passionate dog people, then relaxing with a glass of wine and good conversation as the sun dips below the hills, or retreating to town for a quiet dinner and a restful night, we’ve got you covered. The ranch is just seven minutes from local restaurants and hotels, so you can enjoy the best of both worlds—country peace with nearby convenience.

Before you go, stroll by the pastures and greet the hardworking sheep and cows who help with the training and property maintenance, or stop at Lyra’s Lounge to watch the sunset and take in the quiet beauty of ranch life.
