Hollowell's Dog training manager retires

A long time person in charge of Hollowell's Dog Training decides now is the time to retire.

 Diane Laratta opened the facility nearly twelve years ago, adding services from everything from dog training, grooming and day care. Friends, family former and current clients held a party for Laratta Sunday wishing her the best as she enters into retirement.

Laratta says she's enjoyed helping man's best friend become a little more house friendly over the years, but there are many other things she still wants to do.

 Laratta says Dorothy Miner, who started as a groomer for the facility will be taking over the operations. Miner will also take over the dog training program at the prison where inmates help to train dogs. Laratta says even after her retirement she's sure she'll find herself still involved in the dog training program.
