Meet The Pack Leaders!
Judi (w/ Mocha and Chachi)
Owner
Here’s Judi with Mocha and Chachi and Tascha inset into the picture. Not pictured is her significant other, Marty, who has been a great support person in helping Judi realize her dream.
Judi has always been an animal lover. She got her first cat when she was 6 and was always bringing home strays, much to her father’s chagrin. Judi’s passion for dogs didn’t develop until she was able to stop traveling for work and get her first dog, Mocha in 1999. Realizing that two dogs are much more fun than one, she got her second dog, Chachi, shortly thereafter. Both are rescue dogs from a local animal shelter. Unfortunately, Mocha passed in 2007. Judi decided to adopt another dog as a buddy for Chachi. She rescued Tascha in 2007 so that Chachi would have a playmate.
While Judi enjoyed managing the sales plan, offices, budgets and people in the corporate world, she just couldn’t get enough of dogs. She has volunteered at a local shelter for several years helping to clean kennels, socialize dogs, foster dogs, develop a dog assessment program with a team of volunteers, assist with various business aspects and participate on the board of directors. Through this work, Judi realized that she needed to follow her passion for animals and do something with them, particularly dogs, and not just part time. She decided to join the team and open her own Central Bark® franchise in Oswego, IL.
Judi looks forward to taking care of your dogs as if they were her own.

Q: How are the new dog introductions handled?
A: During your dog's behavior assessment we will determine the rate at which your dog is ready for group play. Only when we and the dog are comfortable will group play begin.
