Everyday after work, I would take my dog Melly to the park and meet dog owners who wished they had more time to exercise their dogs.

Since I was already walking Melly, I started offering to bring their dogs along when they were busy. Before long, I was helping more and more local dog owners with their walks — and that’s how Niagara Leash & Lawn began.
