Sellecchia also offers dog training on-site and is emphatic about the importance of this service.
“Teaching a dog to come on command is the most important thing you should teach your dog. If your dog gets out and runs into a street and won’t listen to you when you command him to stop or come, it can be very dangerous.”
With boyish good looks that make him appear younger than his 30 years, Sellecchia has done a remarkable job in imagining and creating this space, which opened this past fall. Seeing how incredibly nurturing he is with each dog he encounters, I can’t resist asking: Now that he has successfully launched his new business, married and raised a young dog, will his family be growing, with a baby perhaps?
He blushes and smiles.
“Oh, wow, this is taking up so much of my time and energy. And I want to grow the business, of course. The pet care industry is $50 billion a year and growing. I want to be part of that.”
It seems that for now, Sellechia will remain content with the pitter patter of little paws around the house.
