Stu “Stu Little” and Stanley Pickles LeBron “Stan the Man”
CEO & CFO Dog Division
Doggy diplomats with a strong record of success befriending the most sensitive dogs (Stuey) AND confounding then charming any size dog, anywhere (Stan). We can assure your our Dog Division takes their jobs VERY seriously!
It’s great to have two in-house consultants. Stuey’s an expert on all things dog and Stanley is just getting started living up to his nickname of “the fast potato”! ♥
Gemma

Raised by wolves (that is, dog trainers!) Gemma brings literal lifelong experience with a wide variety of dogs and other animals to our team! Gemma loves her three “brothers,” Stuey, Stanley and recent feline addition, Ōkami, and can often be found assisting with socialization for puppies and care for doggie guests.
Gemma has a special touch with shy dogs and “chaos makers” (adolescent puppies)!
