Offering more benefits for your dog daycare employees By Eve Molzhon I am, like many of you, trying to look at how to offer more benefits to my dog daycare team members without breaking the bank. Health insurance always seems problematic for small businesses. So instead I looked at how to do stuff outside the box.

Could you work out something with a small business that does massage therapy where … Continue reading →

Winter weather preparedness for your dog daycare Let’s talk about winter weather preparedness. Whether you’re on the East Coast or West Coast, it seems everyone is experiencing colder, harsher weather than anticipated. We’ve all experienced ice this year.

Time is money at your dog daycare Time is money, and many dog daycare and boarding businesses can’t afford to waste time grading paperwork or training every new hire on all of the basics necessary to get up to speed on their job.

This is obviously great for businesses and wonderful to hear for our industry after almost a year of rather slow business for many of us.  If you haven’t raised your prices in the past year (or two or three), now is the time to do it! Some daycares choose to raise rates across the board and … Continue reading →

Standards and basics for training your dog daycare staff There are many challenges facing dog daycare and boarding facilities these days, and the struggle to hire, train, and maintain your ideal staff might be even harder than usual right now.  When you hire a new employee, do you hand them a training manual to read? Do you assign one of your existing employees to show the new employee the ropes?
