Why We Opened the Doggy Run Club

A Life long passion and love for dogs has led me to my purpose to serve dogs in many ways.  My most recent adoption of a blue heeler/beagle mix, Lucy, has inspired the Doggy Running Club.

Lucy came into this world with extreme anger issues.  I was afraid after adopting and falling in love with this puppy I would not be able to keep her.  My service to dogs has been in the area of helping pet care owners thrive their businesses so their talents could reach more pet owners and more dogs.

I did not have any special skills training or dealing with aggressive behavior issues.  I needed to decide early on whether I could provide Lucy with a home where she could thrive and my other dogs could live happily and safely with her.

If I couldn't handle her, it was my duty to give her to someone better equiped to handle her and I owed it to her to decide while she was a tiny puppy and still had a chance to be adopted and trained.

After consulting my vet several times and several trainers I knew what I had to do.  The resources I needed were available to me to manage Lucy's behavior.

My team consisted of my vet, Parkway Animal Hospital, an incredible trainer, Chris Adams of Oak Bowery Kennels and my own ability to run with Lucy.  After I saw the amazing transformation of Lucy and my ability to train her after jogging I knew we were going to be okay.

It was an easy decision to use my passion for running and my experience with Lucy to help dogs and dog owners by opening the Doggy Running Club.  There are so many dog owners and dogs who would be happier and healthier if they had the time and ability to regularly engage in vigorous fitness and exercise.
