## Story

New York-based company, Hounds Town USA, has become known for its unique approach to pet-care and boarding. According to the New York Business Journal, Hounds Town Founder, Mike Gould, has been able to apply his nearly 20 years of canine handling experience to help correct a few fundamental misunderstandings pet owners have unknowingly placed on their dogs.

Gould applies his training experience from his time served as canine handler for the New York Police Department, and knowledge he took from being one of the founding members of the Military Working Dog (MWD) program to Hounds Town USA’s pet care system. “Dogs are social pack animals who crave interaction with other dogs, and as an outcome of this knowledge and need, Hounds Town USA was born,” said Gould.

The fully interactive doggie daycare and pet boarding facility has added locations to the Jersey Shore and Bergen County and is preparing to open a location in Garden City in September, followed by a Hicksville location at the end of 2018.
