We hate we even have to say it, but duh.

Must Love Dogs was started by Kierstin Geary, a San Diego based Certified Professional Dog Trainer. After being in multiple weddings, she saw a need for dog handling, because everyone wants their pups in their party without handing them off to someone in the wedding party. Must Love Dogs SoCal was born.

She has been working with dogs for 10 years as a foster dog parent, day care supervisor, trainer, and has experience in a multitude of breeds, sizes, and behavior and temperament types. Her favorite breed is a mutt with a touch of Boxer in it.

Must Love Dogs serves San Diego County and Orange County with additional locations available upon request!
