Established in 2010. Crossbones Dog Academy was founded by business co-owners Katherine Ostiguy KPA CTP and Daniel Lombard in the summer of 2010. Originally called Spring Forth Dog Services, the business offered dog walking and in-home dog training services in the Boston suburbs. Soon they expanded to offering agility classes, first in Massachusetts and later in Smithfield, RI. In 2015, Katherine was invited to teach dog training classes at a daycare in Providence, RI. Spring Forth began leasing the daycare's second floor to launch their Puppy Day School program. Within six months, they were at capacity and expanded to their first standalone location.
In 2019, Spring Forth rebranded to "Crossbones Dog Academy" and moved into an 8000 square foot facility minutes from downtown Providence. Crossbones now offers dog training for all ages, breeds, and behavior problems, as well as an Educational Daycare program for owners who want to maintain their dog's training.see more
