Meet The Team

My whole life I always found work that gave my life meaning, I always wanted to work with animals as a zoologist. Understanding body language of other species, including people. I found it fascinating how the relationships between dogs and humans work. I have been working with dogs for almost 10 years and have a background in human behavior psychology, I take a unique and positive approach to working with you and your pet as we build a community of people to help others along the way

I have been working in the animal industry since I was 17 years old. My first job was working as a kennel technician while still in high school. I loved every second of it and it became my dream to own my own daycare and boarding facility. I have been grooming since 2015. I specialize in working with the more timid, shy, and unsure dogs. I focus on positive reinforcement and redirecting unsure behaviors. I have worked to rehabilitate many dogs that once were too scared or aggressive to be groomed. 

My entire life has always been filled with the love of the animals around me. I have a passion for all creatures, big and small, that has flourished throughout my career in the pet industry for over 5 years. I have a focus in pet care and am also a certified dog trainer. I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved one(s)!

I've always been a dog person. To the point where the running joke in the family is that I was a dog in a previous life. I have worked professionally in daycares for the last 7 years. I have also worked with dogs in almost every other capacity since I was 12. I look forward to meeting you and your pups and bringing some extra fun to their lives either in daycare or over their boarding stay.

Hi, my name is Luis Fernando Aguilar Contreras. I've been wanting to work with dogs my whole life and it has been full of that every day since I have started. My goal remains the same to this day, to become an amazing dog trainer. I have worked at Petco as a trainer prior to coming to the Grand Fur Lodge. I work towards specializing in rehabilitating aggressive dogs and would like to get into protection training one day.

I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I'm excited to grow in the daycare and training industries! I've been working at dog daycare since December 2022, and I cant wait to continue developing my training abilities with all of our wonderful dogs every day. I enjoy getting to know our dogs and their parents, progressing in my training journey, and sneaking extra puppy cuddles when the other pups aren't looking.

Hi! My name is Faith. I got into working with dogs because animals have always been a comforting place for me. I feel that I know dogs very well and I’ve had a passion for them since i was young. I’ve always been around them. A house isn’t a home without a dog!
