Employee Appreciation Day- What Makes Our Staff Dog Management Experts

Mar 06, 2025

At Hounds Town USA, our commitment to creating a natural pack environment for your dog goes beyond just letting them play with other pups. While other boarding and doggy daycare facilities may give dogs completely unstructured playtime—or hardly any playtime at all—Hounds Town stands apart with our thorough approach to dog management.

March 7 is Employee Appreciation Day, and we want to celebrate the incredible team members at Hounds Town who are experts in dog management. Here’s how our team turns your dog’s daycare playtime into an immersive experience that appeals to their natural instincts.

Canine Behavior and Pack Psychology

Our Founder and former K-9 officer trainer, Michael S. Gould, developed the philosophies in dog behavior and canine psychology that make our team members dog management experts. To ensure the happiness, well-being, and safety of every dog who walks through our town’s doors, our dog management experts have extensive training and a deep understanding of pack dynamics.

Our approach to dog management is what sets us apart among other doggy daycares and boarding facilities. We go beyond training our team to handle basic pack safety and emergency situations—our team members carefully evaluate the temperament of each new Townie to maximize their time at Hounds Town.

Specialized Playgroups for Every Dog

One essential element of our expertise in dog management comes from our specialized playgroups. Our packs are both an art and a science, and our dog management experts possess years of experience in creating a natural pack environment for every dog. When creating playgroups for Townies, we consider size, temperament, energy level, and play style. Our facilities feature 5+ play areas, so our packs are small and specialized.

With thoughtfully curated playgroups, dogs experience fewer injuries in doggy daycare and can come out of their shell with like-minded pups. From high-energy dogs who need to romp, wrestle, and chase at playtime to quieter dogs, we offer every dog a place to thrive at Hounds Town.

A Commitment to Dog Management

We are committed to creating a safe, natural pack environment for every dog, we have dog management experts at every level of our organization. Samantha Reilly, once a Manager at flagship corporate location in Ronkonkoma, New York, now serves as our Dog Management Specialist nationwide. In every Hounds Town location, you’ll meet team members who are eager to help your dog find the perfect pack to get out their energy and learn to thrive.
