WHO WE ARE
and why we do it

Homegrown Dog is a small, local, veteran owned business run by yours truly.

My name is Jack, and I’ve been professionally training dogs full-time since 2022. However, dogs have been the focus of my life ever since I was a child.

At 5 years old, I had my mind made up on what I’d be when I grew up.
I wanted to be a dog.

It was me and my best friend, Charlie. We spent every single day exploring our family property — a large parcel of land that was mostly forest and streams. Finding where the deer had been bedding, the rabbits had been burrowing, and where the coyotes had been hunting. My parents would be yelling out the back door to the high heavens trying to get us to come back for dinner. We were inseperable until the day he passed.

Since then, I’ve lived many experiences and chased just as many dreams—with dogs being the only constant. I’ve served in in afghansitan as an explosive detection dog handler. I’ve worked as an assistant to veteranarians inside animal hospitals. And now, I help dog owners live the life they’ve always imagined with their pup.
