Hi everyone! I’m Lindsay, AKA Linny—the owner and operator of Linny’s Dog Gym. I’m proud to be a St. Mary’s County local, and I’ve spent the last several years working hands-on with dogs as a professional dog groomer at Bark and Bath Pet Salon.

​

With over five years of professional experience in pet care, I’ve come to understand the wide range of behavioral, physical, and emotional needs dogs have. Grooming gave me a strong foundation, but I knew I wanted to do more—especially for dogs like my own.

​

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, I began fostering a puppy through the bully breed rescue I was involved with. That foster quickly turned into a “foster fail” when I adopted Oliver (aka Ollie). As Ollie grew, he developed reactivity issues that made it difficult to bring him to traditional dog-friendly spaces. I knew I wasn’t the only pet parent facing this challenge.

​

At the same time, I was working toward my Small Business Entrepreneur Certificate through the College of Southern Maryland (CSM). During the program, I began developing a business plan centered around the idea of bringing structured exercise directly to dogs in a calm, controlled setting—and that’s when the vision for Linny’s Dog Gym came to life.

​

Fast forward four years, and I’m excited to officially launch Southern Maryland’s first mobile dog gym, offering slatmill sessions that are safe, low-impact, and tailored to each dog’s needs—right from your driveway.

​

Whether your pup needs to burn off energy, gain confidence, or just get moving again, I’m here to help make fitness accessible, fun, and fear-free. Thank you for supporting this small, local business. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog soon!
