OUR STORY.

MO (Mona) & JO (Jolie)

MOJO Dog Co. is the namesake of our first personal rescue dogs, Mona and Jolie. Through time spent training and traveling on countless dog-friendly excursions, we often abbreviated and combined their names to an easy "MoJo" and the nickname stuck with our family and friends. Because the idea to start a dog supply store was born out of the early experiences we shared with our girls, we felt it was fitting for a place where we could share our favorite dog brands with you!

At MOJO Dog Co, Brittney and I bring together our experience as dog owners, rescuers, trainers, and sport competitors. We've spent the last 10 years purchasing and testing all sorts of products in an effort to meet the requirements of our active canine lifestyle. Through breaking things and making things, we've put together the collection of items that we know can handle the long hikes, the dog sport seminars, and the rescue work. From the soft chewers to the hard biters; At MOJO, you will find items you love and can rely on.

We hope that the products you find at our little shop take you new places to do cool new things with the dogs you love. As we continue our lifelong journey of adventure with our dogs, you will find the most updated and useful dog gear at MOJO Dog Co.

BRITTNEY ROMO

Brittney's passion for working with dogs started early, walking neighbors’ dogs as a child and later working as a kennel assistant in a pet store. She furthered her experience as a dog handler in a dog daycare and through her volunteer work at shelters and at a service dog organization. While competing on the cross country and track teams at Monmouth College, she focused her studies on Human Services, which resulted in an internship at a Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center. This opportunity deepened her understanding of the human-animal bond. After earning her CPDT-KA certification, she found fulfillment in working with rescued dogs at Found Chicago, honing her handling and training skills. Brittney takes pride in assisting clients in creating lasting training connections with their dogs.

In her free time, Brittney cherishes spending time with her dogs.
