Gould also touched on how he started <a href="https://1851franchise.com/houndstownusa/info">Hounds Town USA</a> with his first location in Port Jefferson, New York and how his passion for understanding the behavior of dogs was a driving force behind the business.“I had this obsession and passion for understanding dogs,” said Gould. “Dogs are pack animals and are social by nature. Through my police career, I was always able to ‘group’ dogs together regardless of how they look on a leash. Once you give a dog the opportunity and boundaries, they do what they’re required to do.”Gould explained how Hounds Town USA doesn’t discriminate against dogs, but rather groups them based on temperament and behavior while boarding.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.radiopetlady.com/shows/dog-talk/her-heart-dog-novel/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hounds-town-usa-featured-on-npr-pet-show-dog-talk-and-kitties-too-2715279#t=33:43.972" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Listen to the entire interview on Radio Pet Lady’s site.</a>
