Hounds Town

About Us

For more than 15 years, Hounds Town USA has offered a straightforward and honest approach to pet care, and a natural environment for dogs to be dogs.

Founded in 2001 by former NYPD canine handler and commanding officer of the Nassau County Police Department Michael S. Gould, Hounds Town USA is a fully interactive daycare, boarding, and grooming pet care facility that offers worry-free, flexible, and reliable service.

Unlike many other pet care facilities, we offer FULLY INTERACTIVE daycare—meaning dogs are placed in play groups by size and temperament, where they interact and play all day long. The psychological structure that natural packs offer helps with separation anxiety, confidence building, obedience, and many other behavioral issues. It’s also piece of mind for our customers, knowing that their dogs have a place to be themselves without having to pay a fortune.

Our Benefits

So, why Hounds Town USA? First, we know what we’re doing. Unlike other pet care facilities, we offer several things that they don’t, such as:

• No Discrimination. Period: We do not discriminate based on breed, age, or disability. We have the experience and ability to group and care for all types of dogs–including bully breeds, senior dogs, and disabled dogs–as long as they pass our temperament evaluation.
• Natural Pack Environments: We pride ourselves on providing fully interactive daycare all day long in groups that simulate natural packs for dogs. This optimizes their physical and psychological health and provides the natural structure dogs need.
• In-depth Experience: Founded by former NYPD canine unit officer with more than 35 years of experience. We have a unique and straightforward approach to pet care rooted in a deep understanding of dogs and their behaviors.
• Large Play Areas: Customers appreciate the convenience of indoor/outdoor access for their pets. Where zoning permits, we offer outside play areas as well as large indoor areas with tiled or concrete floors, where dogs are grouped by size and temperament.
• A Brand Customers Love: Hounds Town is built to look like a town for dogs, offering many pet care services including daycare, boarding, grooming, pet taxi, retail, cat care, and more, for one-stop shopping. Additional revenue stream opportunities exist.
• Competitive Pricing: Unlike some other facilities, we do not take advantage of customers’ emotions and their anthropomorphic treatment of their dogs. We do not charge extra for administering medication, giving treats, or personalized attention.
