Strong leadership throughout the company. Comprised of many former law enforcment and military people who are willing to go the extra mile to assist employees and their families.

Business Outlook

Pros

Many preexisting connections that can be leveraged to spark an initial conversation. Market leader with some products and definitely uncompromising quality as it relates to the dogs.

Cons

Strategy seems to be too reactive and not aligned among business units. Prematurely go to market with additional products without a clear vision, focus, or tools.
