History

Established in 2012.

The Good Hound was founded in 2012 by Haley Arnott, a native of Holliston, MA. Haley has always been a dog lover. It was through her early years of caring for and being exposed to different animals that her love for them grew into a selfless passion.

Haley wanted The Good Hound to be different from any other pet service out there. She wanted to combine training, exercise and socialization which eventually formed her Outdoor Daycare program. With this exceptional business model, Haley has managed to set herself apart from her competition. By constantly changing the dogs environments and specializing in off-​leash play and training, her dogs are exhausted by the end of the day.

The Good Hound believes in exceptional care, great customer service and love for each and every pet. They strongly believe that a combination of exercise, training, socialization and love are the foundation in helping your dog to become and continue to be a Good Hound!

Meet the Business Owner

Haley A.

Business Owner

Since Haley can remember, she has always had a deep connection with animals. Haley grew up in a family who loved and respected all animals.

In 2009, she graduated with a Bachelors degree in Music Business/​Vocal Performance at Berklee College of Music, but as one passion was fulfilled one was left behind. Haley still felt a yearning to work with animals.

After college and several office jobs later feeling disconnected and uninspired, Haley left the corporate world and found a way to pursue both passions by working in the pet industry and pursuing music simultaneously.

In 2012, she decided to fulfill her dream and start her own pet care business. She also has a Blues/​Soul band under the name of Whiskey & Water and plays in Boston frequently. Haley has recently released an album called «November,» which showcases her original music.

As of 2014, The Good Hound is flourishing! She is pursuing both of her passions — dogs and music. She couldn’t be happier!
