With pet care as our introduction to the animal industry in 2017, we have grown SO MUCH in the time since! What began for Molly as a passion for pet care quickly struck a desire to learn and study all there is to know about dog training! Pursuing an extensive knowledge of dog behavior, Molly took interest in some of the best world-class trainers that offer remote instruction and online courses. We are so happy to share what we have gained from these high-quality educational experiences!

Again in 2019 we expanded our repertoire, working with one of the most credible working dog organizations in the country for over two years! Lots of group training events, baby-sitting other volunteers’ puppies, and love and cuddles were enjoyed. Since these activities brought Molly so much satisfaction and valuable experience, she was able to have a puppy-in-training live full-time with her for approximately one year, with the goal of the puppy becoming a trained service dog. Living full-time with a working dog prospect means training, structure, and consistency are practiced every day. These skills, along with the various training topics and modalities that this extensive, hands-on training consists of are what sets the foundation for the client-friendly and solution-oriented services that we offer!  

In early 2022 while starting this business, we felt it was our responsibility to join dependable dog training and pet care business organizations, where we are able to confer and discuss finding strategies and solutions for clients, as well as any other matters relevant to our practice among like-minded and ethical professionals. Today, Molly is delighted to share her knowledge, service, and experience with you and many others that also want the best for their animals!
