Mario & Family

Owner & Pack Leader

Mario Gonzalez is the owner of DogCentric Society and has spent years working with dogs through daycare, hiking adventures, enrichment programs, and professional training.

 

As both a business owner and father, Mario believes dogs deserve more than just supervision, they deserve structure, exercise, enrichment, and meaningful relationships. His approach combines positive reinforcement, clear communication, and a deep respect for each dog's individual personality and needs.

 

Mario's background includes professional dog training, pack management, behavioral development, and operating high-volume dog care businesses. He is passionate about helping dogs build confidence, develop healthy social skills, and enjoy safe, structured adventures alongside their canine friends.

 

When he's not out on the trails with the pack, Mario enjoys spending time with his children, exploring the outdoors, and continuing to learn about canine behavior, training, and holistic dog care.

 

His goal for DogCentric Society is simple: create a place where dogs are excited to arrive, owners have complete peace of mind, and every adventure leaves dogs happier, healthier, and more fulfilled than when they arrived.

 

Whether your dog is joining us for daycare, hiking adventures, boarding, or enrichment services, Mario and the DogCentric team are committed to providing exceptional care and building lasting relationships with every dog and family they serve.

Adventure Guide

Howdy, I'm Abby!

 

As a dog lover and pet parent myself, I know every dog has their own unique personality, routines, and quirks. I love getting to know each pup individually so they feel comfortable, confident, and excited every time they join the pack.

 

With over 5 years of experience in the pet care industry, including dog daycare and group play environments, I've worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves exploring trails, making new friends, or simply soaking up attention, my goal is to make sure they have a safe, enriching, and fun-filled day.

 

I'm currently a student at the University of Texas and take great pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative with every family I work with. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal, and I'm committed to treating every pup in my care like they're one of my own.

 

I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member!
