Easy Reading and Very Thorough-- Highly Recommend

ByTAPAL2012on August 11, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I highly recommend this book as the initial reading for anyone planning to open a dog related business. The book is written in plain language that is easily understood. The author gets to the point quickly and highlights the most important issues that you potentially will be dealing with in working with canines and their owners. The author provides real world examples that you can actually use/incorporate into your business plan. The book is a relatively short read and goes the extra step of providing additional references for specific information that you may want to follow up on in more detail. A must read for those thinking about going into a doggy business. Very well done!

Over priced

ByHogg Manon October 14, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a pretty descent book. It has a lot of needed items in the book. However, way over priced! If I had to do it all over again I would not buy this book!

Short on real information

Bymowglion December 31, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

More like a magazine article. Things to consider but very little on how to solve information, alternate resources or checklists. If this is all you read before you tried to start a dog day care business, I think you would be very under informed of the complete scope.

Not a "blueprint" - too general, not enough detail.

ByRachel Victoron January 7, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Not really a "blueprint" more like a general sketch. Not detailed enough. Waste of money!

This book is full of the information I needed and a lot I didn't even know that I needed. I would recomend it to anyone wanting to open a day care for dogs. It would help anyone who just wants to know more about the dogs and their temperments.
