Cindy Wold, Owner

Cindy created A Dog’s Life because she knew that there was so much more to dog care and ownership than merely loving them. It is our job, as their owners, to respect them as the species they are and provide for all their needs; physical, mental and social. With a background in Biology, Nursing and Dog Training, Cindy has become an expert in bridging the gap between human and canine to foster the best family-dog relationship. Leading to this stage of her life has been a busy, rewarding journey.

Our Staff

A Dog’s Life focuses on providing a place for dogs to play, exercise, and safely spend the day in the company of other dogs. Because dogs are pack animals, they thrive on interacting with members of their own species. However, healthy interaction among canines requires a certain amount of social skill training, which can help keep dogs healthy, while preventing or resolving any behavior issues that exist. At A Dog’s Life, our staff works to ensure all canine interactions provide the most beneficial experience for both our dogs and their owners.
