Welcome to 3 Dogs Training & Care Co.
Here, dogs are family and compassion leads the way!!!
I'm Krystle, CEO of 3 Dogs Training & Care Co., a professional dog walker, trainer, and specialty care provider based in Marin county. Inspired by my three dogs (Phillie-Lou, Dutchess, and Hannah-Bell), I created this business to offer thoughtful, consistent care for dogs of various temperaments and sizes, along with effective training for their respective humans. An added bonus to this endeavor was that I got to involve my aging dogs into my business model and never leave them home alone. Though all have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, their memory lives in my company name and is the foundation of my training method. My core mission is to teach people how to communicate with their dogs clearly and to provide a positive, engaging environment for their fur-babies.
With nearly two decades of experience in dog training, I bring a calm, clear, and customized approach to every walk, training session, or housesit. Whether you need help reinforcing obedience basics, managing behavior, or just giving your pup a reliable routine, I'm here to support both you and your dog to thrive. As a trusted pet sitter in Marin, I ensure your furry friends receive the attention they deserve.
This is more than a dog business to me; it's the beginning of a bigger dream... My long-term vision is to build a rescue sanctuary and bed & breakfast for dog lovers on a beautiful piece of land in the Bay Area. Every service I provide today helps move one step closer to that future: a safe, healing space where dogs, people, and nature come together.
Thank you for supporting this journey. When you work with 3 Dogs Training & Care, you become part of the pack... and part of that dream.
