Downtown Doghouse

After receiving a promotion at a job with which she was thoroughly disappointed, Nancy Chinchar made two lists — “likes” and “ways to make a living around the likes.” The options she liked best involved her love for the dog she had just adopted. So, she enrolled at Nash Academy of Animal Arts and trained under Joey Villani (of Animal Planet’s “Groomer Has It”) and his team. After gaining experience throughout NYC and Brooklyn, she opened Downtown Doghouse in 2003. Nancy has been featured in the New York Post and the New York Daily News and has appeared on Anderson Live!
