Western Mass Business Show on 3.28.26 – Good Dog Spot
In The Western Mass. Business Show

Sometimes people know what they are going to do with their lives in the third grade. That is exactly what Elizabeth Staples knew. Since then, she had wanted to be involved with animals and working at a kennel as a teen and in her 20s solidified her dream of having her own business one day. She opened her first location in Chicopee in 2007, shortly thereafter she met her husband Corey Staples in 2009, and they decided to make it a family affair having him join her in the business in 2013 so they could begin to build their family and business lives together more seamlessly. The Good Dog Spot opened a second location in Northampton and has been going strong on King Street since then. Listen in as we hear all the ways that TGDS provides care for your pet members of the family. Whether it’s training or boarding or daycare or grooming, your animals will be well taken care of here (cats too). Check out the webcam with the 360-degree videos on their website for a better view into the operations and care you will receive at TGDS.
