Aldon and Francisca (Fre'ke) Lytle 

 The Lytles are the owners of Molen Pet Center.

Animal lovers through and through the Center is a livelong dream come true for both of them: to provide a safe and playful environment for the pets while  it allows them also to continue to learn.

They have been active in pet rescue for years. Aldon can be seen traveling all across the nation delivering lucky dogs and cats to foster homes or their forever new homes.

A dog training aficionada Fre'ke is working on certification in this field.

Her years in rescue have allowed her to develop extensive expertise in the training of adult dogs and puppies alike.

She has taken several of her beloved Belgian Tervuren and Belgian Laekenois to titles in both AKC and UKC events, including conformation championships and agility.  Now the Belgians are tackling obedience as well!

Fre'ke is enjoying tremendously her sessions at the Center where she is able to help Fargo and surrounding area dog owners with common problems such as aggression towards other pets in the household, aggression towards other people and even more common issues like walking on leash without causing the owner an orthopaedic injury! She enjoys the individual sessions with dogs and their owners, as rapid progress is usually made. Group sessions are also available. This is important for socialization as well. Field trips have recently been added with great success!

Francisca has not met an unintelligent dog or unwilling owner yet! She loves to watch the light bulb moments when "it clicks" and dog and owner start moving as a team!

Meet the Lytles' pets and those waiting for them at The Rainbow Bridge.

Francisca V. Lytle, M.D.

Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. 

         As an orthopaedist Francisca (Fre'ke for short: pronounced Freyka) is very interested in injury prevention, conditioning and rehabilitation not only for humans but for her beloved canines as well!

She is especially excited about being able to offer hydrotherapy rehabilitation for dogs in cooperation with the Fargo area veterinarians. Numerous dogs have already benefited from their sessions in the pool: joints are looser, pain is improved as is mobility!
