BARKIMONIAL


You have been so patient and helpful to me with all of my questions and such that I wanted to give you my thanks. Watching how the business is run and the way different issues are dealt with, and watching the individuals come together and work as a team has helped me to look to the future as far as my business is concerned. Plus, watching how you find solutions to problems, and the steps you take in dealing with the people and dogs involved is delightful and valuable. So, just a short note to say thank you in helping me to reach my goals

DOG DAYCARE CONSULTING SERVICES -

My personal advice is to learn from the best and then become the best; that was one of the key's to my success.



Laurie is a daycare consultant for new and existing dog daycares nationwide. Having started her daycare in 1999, she was one of the first in Orange County. Having expanded her business three times, moved once, and added a second building, she has been through it all. Now that the dog daycare industry is booming and a daycare is opening is every city, hiring a consultant can save you time and help you avoid pitfalls. Read everything you can and then get some hands on training, which we can provide. Having been featured on Animal Planet, Laurie Zurborg & Wags & Wiggles are one of the leaders in the industry.
