Meet Moochie — the gentle soul who continues to inspire Rub-A-Dub Love™ every day. 🐾
💗 How One Pup Inspired a Movement of Healing and Connection
Rub-A-Dub Love™ was born from a deep belief that every pup deserves to feel seen, safe, and soothed — not just through toys or treats, but through the gentle power of human touch.
I’ve loved dogs my whole life. Growing up, they were never “just pets” — they were family, healers, protectors, and little souls full of emotion. I always felt connected to them in a deeper way, able to sense when they were anxious, when they just needed a gentle presence, or when they wanted to be left alone. That sensitivity stayed with me.
But it is my sweet pup Moochie who opened my eyes to something even deeper.
Moochie isn't your typical dog. He doesn't like loud places or lots of noise. He thrives in calm, quiet moments — and responds best to soothing, intentional touch. I see how his entire body relaxes under a soft rub, how his breathing would slow, and how his eyes closes in peace. It is in those quiet, sacred moments that I truly understand the healing power of touch.
Moochie has taught me that dogs don’t just want connection — they need it. Especially the shy ones, the seniors, the rescues, the sensitive souls who don’t always feel safe in busy grooming salons or chaotic spaces.
Rub-A-Dub Love™ was created because of Moochie, and all the pups like him — dogs who crave kindness, presence, and peace.
This isn’t just a business. It’s a calling — a space where pups are honored, not rushed. A space where connection comes before profit. Where the love is felt in every session, every brush stroke, every pause.
✨ Meet The Founder
Hi, my name is Ashley, the founder of Rub-A-Dub Love™ — and for as long as I can remember, dogs have been a part of my soul.
I trained my very first pup, Lucky, when I was 13 years old. He wasn’t just our family dog — he was my dog. From day one, he connected with me more than anyone else, and I felt it. That early bond taught me that trust with a dog isn’t built through force or commands — it’s built through presence, patience, and quiet understanding.
Since then, I’ve spent my life connecting with pups of all kinds. Nervous ones. Silly ones. Sensitive ones. I’ve always been that calming energy they seem to gravitate to — the one who knows when to speak, and when just to sit beside them.
Along the way, I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology, which deepened my understanding of emotional regulation, trauma, and healing — especially in overstimulating or stressful environments. While many apply that knowledge to people, I found my passion in translating it into the animal world.
Building on that foundation, I successfully completed a professional Dog Massage Training Program with focused instruction in safe handling, proper technique, and relaxation-based canine bodywork. This training strengthened my understanding of canine anatomy and how to read a dog’s comfort cues to ensure each session remains safe, intentional, and guided by the dog’s needs.
Rub-A-Dub Love™ was created to be a sanctuary — a space where dogs can breathe, be seen, and feel safe. Every session is intuitive, gentle, and guided by both love and understanding.
While I’m not a groomer or a veterinarian, I am a calming presence — A safe pair of hands. A woman with a mission to bring peace, softness, and connection into the lives of dogs who need it most — one rub at a time. 🐾
