Dog Daycare Facility Management Course

Why Open a Dog Daycare Business?
Society is changing and with it dogs have moved from being merely outside animals to loved and cherished members of the family. This societal shift in the way we view our pets has created many entirely new and never before seen pet services and industries from which to profit. One of the most popular businesses to spring from this shift in public opinion towards Dogs, is Dog Daycare. In cities all across the nation, people are choosing to leave the typical 9 to 5 working for someone else and open their very own Dog Daycare Facility. This decision is generally based upon their love for animals or a need to take control of their lives and make a living doing something that they enjoy while taking control of their financial future.
What's involved in Opening a Dog Daycare Facility?
In many cases, this involves taking substantial initial risks, borrowing money from banks, family or friends and becoming self-employed for the first time. The vast majority of individuals do all this with nothing but a dream, no business plan, no management training, and no real world experience to provide them with realistic expectations and guidance. Unfortunately many are destined to be forever trapped as a result of this decision to push forward alone without seeking professional assistance. The end result being that they are forced to work twice as long and three times as hard as they did when they were an employee of someone else. Putting in 14-18 hours seven days a week just to cover bills and operational expenses, without the ability to set aside capital for growth or expansion.
Although completing a management course is not a requirement to open a Dog Daycare, the knowledge and skills learned can thoroughly prepare the new operator to face the challenges of operating a busy Dog Daycare Facility with confidence. About 50% of all small businesses fail within the first three years and most of these business failures could have been prevented if the potential business owners fully understood all the aspects of operating a successful business prior to opening one.
