About Chief KC/Liberty area

Meet Greg and Jaci Koelling, Owner operators of Hydrodog “Chief” in Kansas City, Missouri. Greg was introduced to the Hydrodog Franchise by Melissa McFarland, the Missouri and Kansas Area Representative and found it to be a great business concept and a worthy cause.

Greg and Jaci have been married since 2006. Greg is a mechanic that has worked on anything from go-karts to semi trucks and everything in between. Exercising 20 plus years of experience behind a wrench he found that his passion for animals has far exceeded his passion for mechanical things. Greg says “I find that being a mechanic is not nearly as rewarding as looking into the faces of our clients and seeing how happy we make them. I see far more purpose and meaning in wagging tails than a running engine. Anthony and his philosophy behind Hydrodog are not only inspiring but motivating which is pretty hard to find in the car business. He has a burning ‘why’ that you don’t see in a lot of people.” Jaci is a Professional Cake Decorator in a city of Smithville, a small town just north of Kansas City. Decorating cakes is something she has loved for many years has always shown great talent. She has been making cakes and cupcakes for friends and family for many years before taking it on a professional baker and now has plans to open a her own bakery.

Jaci and Greg are both passionate animal lovers having a Quaker parrot named Willie and two dogs, one a black Labrador, pit bull, Mountain Kerr mix named Nakita and a Beagle, Terrier, Pit bull, Corgi mix named Link all of which are rescued animals. They both grew up around animals and find that Hydrodog is the perfect opportunity to not only start a business and work for themselves, but to help find forever homes for many of the animals around the Kansas City and surrounding areas. They both believe that every dog deserves a warm and loving home.

Greg completed his intense Hydrodog Grooming Academy training with Becky Walker, an amazing person, trainer and groomer with 30+ years of experience. While at the academy, he learned to bathe, groom and handle your fur babies with all the love and compassion he shows his own pets. So, rest assured that the safety of your pets is of the utmost importance each time your pet is in their care. Hydrodog is a spa day for your babies in a one on one environment without the stress of cages or other distractions. Pets deserve to be pampered in a relaxed and calm environment.
