Helping People and Dogs Build Better Lives Together
At OC Pup Pals, we believe dog training and care should come from understanding, not control. Our mission is to help owners in Costa Mesa and nearby areas create calmer, more fulfilling relationships with their dogs.
We focus on real-world results that bring balance to both ends of the leash. Whether we are helping with leash manners, daily structure, or confidence building, our goal is to make life easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
Meet Mary!
Hi, I am Mary, the founder of OC Pup Pals. After years in the corporate world, I realized I wanted something more meaningful. I started OC Pup Pals in 2024 with a simple goal: to help dogs live happier lives and support the people who love them.
What began as a small dog walking service has grown into a trusted training and care company serving families across Orange County. I have raised, fostered, and trained dogs of all kinds and know firsthand how rewarding and challenging it can be. Every client I meet reminds me why I started — because dogs and their people deserve to feel calm, connected, and confident together.
We take a balanced, relationship based approach to dog training. That means teaching clear communication, building structure, and fulfilling your dog’s physical and mental needs. We keep things realistic and compassionate, meeting each client where they are and helping them make steady, sustainable progress.
Our work is not just about training sessions. It is about helping people feel confident, supported, and empowered in their everyday life with their dogs.
Our Training Philosophy
Our Vision
As we grow, our dream is to open a community space in Costa Mesa where dogs and people can come together for training, classes, and connection. We imagine a bright, welcoming space filled with learning, laughter, and good coffee — a place that reflects everything OC Pup Pals stands for.
What We Value
We value honesty, education, and community. Every dog is treated like our own, and every client like a friend. Our work is built on trust, consistency, and genuine care, creating lasting results through real relationships.
The OC Pup Pals Promise
We promise to meet every client with patience, respect, and care. We are here to guide you through every step of the process, celebrate your progress, and help you and your dog live a calmer, more connected life together.
Because when you both feel balanced, everything else falls into place.
