Nothing can beat the joy of running a business that allows you to do what you love! If you are a pet lover, starting a dog daycare business can be an incredible idea. Along with earning some great money, you can also bring joy to many dogs and pet parents. You can decide to either start the business in your home premises or lease a commercial space to set up the daycare center. We bring you some vital tips and tricks to help you run your doggie daycare business successfully:

1. Gain The Experience 
Dogs have different temperaments and behavioral patterns so you must be able to learn to care for both, calm and aggressive dogs. You can volunteer at an animal shelter, VET clinic or get some experience as a pet sitter or dog walker for a better understanding of animal behavior, canine first-aid and CPR.

2. Learn Various Training Techniques and Commands 
You must be well-aware of the various training techniques so that you can properly manage the dogs that come to your daycare center. Also, in order to encourage dogs to obey you and deal with unpleasant situations, you must be aware of the right training techniques and commands required to manage aggressive dogs.

3. Business Considerations 
Before you begin your doggy daycare, make sure you sort out all the business and legal aspects to ensure a smooth sailing after you start. These include getting all the licenses, forming your business as an LLC or sole proprietorship, and hiring the right employees. It’s best to hire staff that is trained in animal careers and has animal certifications so that your canine customers are in good hands. Other things to consider include an insurance policy, having a veterinary contingency plan and drafting release forms.

4. Facility
You also need to think about the kind of facility you want to provide for your pet customers. The latest trend in doggy daycare is to opt for cage-free centers wherein dogs can play in groups for most of the day. Such centers separate dogs based on their size and offer kennels so that dogs have some feeding space and break time from the constant pack environment. Other things to consider in your facility include having ample of water for dogs to drink, open play areas and rest areas, kennels for overnight stays and lots of play toys and bedding to keep dogs comfortable. Many daycares also offer splash pools and live streaming web cams as an additional feature.

5. Spread the Word
Once you’re set with all the other aspects of the daycare, you must leverage your contacts and advertise your business to get maximum customers. You can put up posters in animal hospitals, pet stores and dog grooming centers in the area to promote your business to the right audience.

Always make sure you meet and interact with dogs before you accept them as your customers as this will help you avoid taking in over aggressive dogs that might not fit in well with your other dogs. And above all, don’t forget to enjoy this incredible experience of running a business with your favorite animals!
