Hi, my name is Nicole Deubach and I have been with the Loveland dog Club since 2009. What more can I say, than I love my job! Most the time, I am at the desk checking dogs in and out and making appointments and answering any questions you might have, but behind the scenes, I also do some of the training, bathing, and evaluating the new dogs and introducing them to other dogs. I also enjoy volunteering as the Fundraising /Event Coordinator for High Country Basset Hound Rescue, as well as being a foster mom for 2 senior bassets Hounds. I also have a Yellow Lab, a basset of my own and a Chihuahua of my own. All but the Chihuahua go to work with me almost every day. The Chihuahua enjoys going to work on Fridays where she has a bed on the desk and greets everyon as they come and go. I love getting to know each and every dog and owner that walks through the door. It is my goal to make every day a positive experience for you and your dog(s).

I am married and have 2 daughters, age 19 and 8. You may see my 8 year old around the shop as she loves to come to work and help with wearing the dogs out. It is a great way for the dogs to learn how to interact with kids that are not in a home with them or have ever been introduced to children.

Hello I am Jessica Pierce, I was born on a little 10 acre farm in western Montana, where I had every animal imaginable. We raised and showed Shetland Sheepdogs and this is where my love of dogs grew. I moved to Colorado in 2009 with my car loaded with my then 8 yr old son and dogs heads out the windows,ears flapping, and I have loved it ever since. I currently live in the town of Mead with my new husband, 2 sons, our two dogs: jaycee the tri colored Cocker Spaniel and Big our American Eskimo. We also have a a calico cat and 2 Lionhead Lop rabbits. I have enjoyed working here at the Dog club since August of 2010

Hi, my name is Larry Williams; I was raised in Denver, Colorado and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1977. I then moved to Loveland in 1978, taking a job at HP (Hewlett Packard). I worked at HP for almost 25 years and owned and operated Premier Kennels for about 15 years. I bred and trained malamutes for sled dogs, weight pulling dogs, and show dogs.

I am a head instructor of my mixed martial art studio located in Berthoud, Colorado called Kingdom Martial Arts. I have been an owner and trainer for over 30 years in the mix martial arts field.

I have seven children and married a woman that has eight children and have been married for almost 15 years. The things that matter the most to me is my faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for without Him there is no me. I honor the Lord by loving my family and friends and live each day helping, giving, and loving all people I come in contact with.

Welcome, my name is Matti, and I am known as “Management” here at the Loveland Dog Club. I am a 4 year old Chihuahua who likes short walks and nap time. If you come in on Fridays, you will most likely see me lounging in my bed on the desk. I like to make sure every dog coming in feels relaxed and comfortable.
