4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!, December 24, 2006
By Cathy "KCKat" (Des Moines, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
I got this book to learn about the dog daycare business and it has great tips and ideas that the average person wouldn't think about. I learned a great deal about dog daycares and how to set one up. The author is definitely very well versed in the business and I don't doubt her credibility in the business.

The ONLY disappointing thing about this book is the number of grammatical errors like: if instead of in, an instead of as, etc. Things that spell check doesn't recognize.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking information on the dog daycare business, the only downfall is the need for a better proofreader.
