OUR PEOPLE:
Brookwood Pet Resort is honored to have an experienced dedicated staff, many of whom have been with us for several years: Mark (Day Camp Manager – since we opened in 2004), Kevin (since 2004), Heather (since 2005), Kathy (since 2005), Shannan (since 2007), Maranda (since 2009), & Annie (since 2008). Recent additions include Nicole, Susan, Sadie, Rachel (2 of them), Sam & Jenn
Carol & Art Landry co own and manage Brookwood Pet Resort. Carol started in the pet care industry almost twenty years ago as an attendant and assistant kennel manager before designing and building Brookwood, along with her husband, Art. She has had dogs all her life but began competition with Lady, her Dalmatian, in the ‘90s and earned national rankings in obedience. At the same time Art was competing with his Dalmatian, Camel, and earned national recognition as well. Art & Carol left competition for a time devoting themselves to Greyhound rescue and forming Tailwind Greyhound Adoption program. They fostered and placed hundreds of ex-racing greyhounds along the way. Brookwood was born of a need to spend as much time as possible with dogs and to somehow make a living. They pride themselves on putting quality care and a positive experience for every dog above all else. Carol and Art have returned to competition and their current dogs have had terrific success. Both teach Obedience and Agility classes at Brookwood and Art offers Herding lessons as well.
Rebekah Rolfe is our groomer extraordinaire and has been with Brookwood since we opened in 2004. She grew up in Contoocook with 2 brothers. Rebekah (we call her "Becky") showed sheep, horses and her old dog Cricket while in 4-H. Yes, old dogs can learn new tricks! She started grooming from home after serving her apprenticeship and has over 10 years experience. Rebekah has been certtified. She offers a variety of services including nail trimming and dremeling, ear cleaning, anal extraction, teeth brushing, nail polishing, hand scissring, hot oil treatments, clipping, flea and tick shampooing, skunk shampooing and so on.....trying to meet your pets' every grooming need.
OUR DOGS (at least some of them):
ATCH PCH WTCH Brookwood’s Tugboat AKC CDX, RE, CGC, ASCA CDX:
Tugboat is an Australian Shepherd and is Art’s pride and joy. Since Tug’s birth in July 2005 they have been a devoted team. First and foremost, they just plain like and respect each other.

WTCH W Lazy J Brookwood Gidget AKC CD, RE, CGC, ASCA CD, GS-E, JS-E, RS-E:
Gidget is an Australian Shepherd and is Carol’s pride and joy and weight loss program! She was whelped 10/16/2006 at the W Lazy J Ranch in Montana and eight weeks later took a plane trip to join us. Gidget’s lines are pure working stock which adds up to a steep learning curve for a first time Aussie owner. At less than a year old she was competing in herding and doing quite well despite her handicap of a clueless handler! Gidget completed her WTCH (Working Trial Chapionship) on August 15th, 2010. Obedience and agility have been a challenge since those strong herding lines cause her to pay as much attention to what is going on outside the ring as inside, however she is currently on track to finish her ASCA CDX and has achieved all of her Elite agility titles. She also completed her AKC Rally titles qualifying every time she was entered. Gidget has also earned Canine Good Citizen certification and completed her Therapy Dog International requirements too.
Gidget has a bright future and already her accomplishments include:
2008 ASCNE ROM Performance Champion
2008 ASCNE Agility Champion for Novice Regular and Novice Jumpers
2009 ASCA National Agility Jumpers Competition – 3rd Place
2009 ASCA Nationals MVA competitor
2009 ASCNE ROM Agility Champion for Open Gamblers, Open Regular, Open Jumpers, Novice Regular and Novice Gamblers
2010 ASCNE ROM Performance Champion
2010 ASCNE ROM Obedience Open A Reserve Champion.
Gidget was bred in 2011 to the 2010 National Champion Stockdog for Cattle and Sheep and High Combined Stockdog winner, Spur. They produced a litter of 8 talented puppies and we're expecting great things from them! Art has kept Iggy, Carol has kept Meg and Kevin kept Boot. Watch for great things from these pups!
