for what we are doing and that people are happy with
our service,” Ms Petrone said.
The Dog Den provides
customers with an assortment of services for their beloved
pets.

pet ownership is something we take very seriously and
make a priority, particularly to new pet owners or for
animals that have special requirements. “

volunteers and the trainers are so supportive. They
are happy to give you advice and information after class
