Dedicated to the welfare of our best friends
Our Values regarding Dogs
We believe that dogs are much more than just pets. Our philosophy is to treat all dogs in our care with the same love & dedication we would with our own. Since 2019, we have prioritized building relationships and employing humane practices that enhance the physical and mental well-being of every dog we see. With a deep understanding and compassion for the bond between humans and dogs, we strive to create a harmonious environment that fosters trust, confidence, and life-long friendships. We firmly believe in the transformative benefits of kind and compassionate treatment of all dogs
Mark Yates
Owner; Lead walker/trainer
I grew up in a dog loving household. We got our first dog, Daisy, as a puppy and a few years later, her sister, Maggie joined our family. For 15 years, our Two Little Yorkies brought joy, love & companionship to our lives and they will always be remembered fondly.
In 2018, I entered the dog care industry, serving as a dog walker for a large company, and began learning clicker training. A year later, I formed TLY and slowly went independent.
Over the last 6 years, working with dogs has been a life changing experience. I strive everyday to provide the best possible care for my clients because I truly understand what it means to love a dog like family.
Currently, I am seeking certification as a dog trainer (CAPDT & CCPDT) with plans to continue my education in dog behaviour and humane training practices.
