1.0 out of 5 stars This book is all wet, May 7, 2005

No secrets to be found here. All this information can easily be obtained using common sense and doing a bit of research yourself. Most people in the self wash business are happy to briefly chat about their experiences and give you some pointers for free. That being said, I did speak to two owners who both suggested the book, so as puzzling as it is to me, it must have an audience. If you want one stop shopping without researching the subject this will provide you a beginning, but the information is barely worth $10, never mind $39 and none of the finer points of retail are covered.

1.0 out of 5 stars Duh !!!, February 6, 2007

Not worth the money. It is my opinion that the useful information in this book could be held on five pages and tends to be very basic in nature (things like, hand out lots of business cards). Even the best advice the book offers could most likely be obtained in an evening on google if you tried. If you can't think of the ideas in this book on your own, then you probably don't need to be running your own business anyhow!!!

That being said, if you are interested in starting a dog wash, you have ZERO business knowledge, and you flat out do not know where to start, then I guess this could be helpful for giving you a point in the right direction ... but that is all it will give you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good place to start if you want to start your own dog wash., May 12, 2007

This book provided the author's personal information on how to start up a dog wash, and it provided good info. The only thing I did not like was the book had to be down loaded on line. I like having a hard copy on hand to review.
