Thank you for reaching out as you embark on your daycare and boarding business journey. Determining the number of enclosures to start with is a crucial step in your planning process. Without an established client base, it can be challenging to predict the exact demand. We recommend creating budget and forecast your financials to determine the optimal number of enclosures for your initial setup. This will help you make informed decisions based on your financial projections and anticipated growth. If you haven't yet created these financials, we suggest looking into our Launch Formula program. Launch Formula is designed to assist you in developing a solid business plan and setting you up for financial success.

Hi Kyndra, Building a reward system really depends on what you are comfortable giving. It can be monetary rewards based on overall department goals or you can survey your team and ask what they would like as a reward. You’d be surprised with what they come up with. When I surveyed my staff they wanted a new stereo system and colorful dry erase markers. Those dry erase markers were like gold in my facility. LOL I’d start with asking for their input and then make your decision on how you reward them.

I don’t own a business yet but this is how I would look at it: Pick up/drop off prices need to factor in: Gas per mile Vehicle Maintenance variable per mile Employee payment per hr Insurance costs per day Once you have these numbers you’d have a good base line. Then i would add 25% (10% unaccounted for maint and cleaning, 15% profit for upgrade or replacement vehicles) Not the end all but this is probably a good start.

So sorry to hear that. We heard from other places they were experiencing the same thing. I hope everything is going well for you now. 💚

You may have already found the answer you need. But to put this into perspective for you, a 20x25 ft rectangle is 500 square feet. If a large dog needs 100 square feet then an area this small would be fine for 5 large dogs. With 2 acres I would say your pups will be extremely well pleased. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful

Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you found the videos helpful!

It depends on the time you have available. During lunch might work. Or you hire staff to cover the business while you train at other times.
