“Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

- Mary Oliver, poet and animal lover

Driven by a deep love for dogs and people, Love Pack is dedicated to offering personalized enrichment for your dog, all while keeping your pack's unique needs in mind.

I promise that while your dog is in my care, I will treat him/her as the special individual that he/she is— I delight in getting to know each dog’s distinct personality and quirks! My goal is to ensure a safe and rewarding adventure on every outing with your dog(s). My training sessions are for both young and senior pups—it’s never too late to learn good manners! I cherish the opportunity to spend my days surrounded by joyful, furry faces with the kindest hearts of this world.
