The Dog Scoop was founded by Alex Oliphant, a Concord, Massachusetts, native and Desert Storm Veteran who served in the United States Marine Corps for four years. After completing his service, Alex earned a bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Massachusetts. After working at a prominent software company for seven years, he made the decision to leave the corporate environment and pursue his true passion – dogs – on a professional basis. Alex became a certified trainer licensed by Animal Behavior College and founded The Dog Scoop in 2003.
A pioneer of the Open Pack dog care concept, Alex sought like-minded professionals who were serious about dog care to join his company. The Dog Scoop rapidly gained a reputation for providing a happy, safe, active environment for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Today The Dog Scoop has a staff of more than twenty professionals and provides day care, boarding, and grooming services. Everyone who works at The Dog Scoop is specially trained and committed to providing world-class customer service to both our human and canine clients.
