Maria Mann
Head Trainer, CEO
Mann’s Best Friend Pet Services is my life. I have a deep love for pet care and helping families to realize their overall pet’s health. Body, mind, environment, and spirit are the four key elements that are important in complete well-being. I will guide pets and their guardians in observing, listening, and working with each other to fulfill their pet’s intrinsic needs. Gradually, we will strengthen their bond and improve their behavior.
I have been fortunate to professionally pursue both of my passions – Dancing and Dog Training. First, I danced as a Radio City Rockette and a Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader. After 36 years of dancing, I decided to become a certified Dog Obedience Trainer through Animal Behavior College. I have had many roles within the dog industry for over 17 years serving Chester County, PA. I am a certified Cooperative Paws Service Dog Coaching Trainer who helped to train, walk, volunteer, kennel assist, and provide Graduate Support to service dog teams for a local non profit service dog organization. I also have experience as a kennel manager for the Great Valley Pet Hotel, as well as private in-home Basic Dog Manners Trainer, a Pet Sitter, and a Level 1 Healing Touch For Animals practitioner. I promise to also always leave your home better then I found it.
