Back in the 90’s I started a dog grooming business on Long Island, NY. It was a quick start up because people knew their shaggy, flea bitten, stinky dogs needed grooming. Prior to that I cut my teeth grooming at a busy Dog & Cat boarding kennel. Folks boarded their dogs when they went on trips. Doggie Day Care was not a thing. Dog walking was something they did in the City for dogs who lived in high rises. 20 years later daycare and walking businesses are thriving.
Now you’re wondering; Jill what exactly are you getting at?? Fine, I'll make my point, sheesh.
Canine massage NOW is not widely accepted as beneficial therapy for our furry companions. However, dogs actually benefit MORE than us as they are in the moment, absorbing the physical, emotional and spiritual elements of the work.
Education on the endless benefits and referrals from believers, supporters, satisfied customers are my pathways to success and hopefully it won’t take 20 years to make it happen!
