The Team
Don Murray
Owner
After spending years in the corporate world in fields ranging from industry to real estate, Don decided to follow his true passion in life: dogs. Don’s experience and success in business formed a solid foundation for his level of professionalism and dedication to dog training. “To see a problematic dog display confidence when returned to their amazed owner is maybe the greatest gift I can receive! The emotion is repeatedly, clearly displayed on the faces of owners, and their gratitude for these big transformations confirms my passion and is the reason I do what I do!"
Becca Boudreaux
Owner & Director of Marketing
Becca grew up surrounded by animals. Although she grew up in the heart of Washington, DC, her childhood home saw everything from the typical cats and dogs to the unexpected duckling and goats. Her family was known as one of two “rescues” in the neighborhood, and many a stray animal found their way to them.
After years in a successful marketing career, she started fostering dogs and aiding in rescues and placement. Having the opportunity to use her marketing knowledge in a career that allows her to work with and help dogs is a dream come true.
