Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Dogs. Ever since I began this business in 2015, I have been continuously shocked by how the dog industry has no regulations when it comes to dog training, dog daycare, or boarding. I love setting my own standard of care for the dogs that I am trusted to take care of. Many people in this industry take advantage of the fact that dogs can not talk. From uneducated dog trainers, to dog daycare facilities… I have heard such heartbreaking stories, and it fuels me to keep opening facilities.

How do you stay motivated?

The dogs I have met along the way, and the dogs I know I will meet. Dogs are incredibly loyal, intelligent, loving, and adaptable. Did you know out of all the mammals, dogs observe their human parents more than any mammal observes anything else. Dogs deserve to have a safe place they can call home if their pup parent needs to leave them. Dogs deserve to be trained by educated people who understand canine cognition. Also, my two children keep me motivated. I have a 1yr baby boy and a 4yr daughter

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use this money to pay for the loan I had to take out to open my second location in Marina Del Rey. I eventually would love to get into rescuing dogs, another industry in LA that has no regulations..
