Scroll down till the end if you want to know about everything. Let’s dive into our topic now: The Dawg Business

What is Dawg business

Do you like dogs? Do you like taking care of them and enjoy the process? Do you find it interesting how dogs communicate with people and how they show their feelings? Are you curious about what they might be thinking? Enough with the questions. Yes you are at the right place. 

By my guess, you are a dog person and there are plenty of opportunities waiting for you through which you can learn more about dogs, spend more time with them and earn a decent amount of money doing that. 

There are many people who own dogs but they don’t have any experience on how to handle them, primarily because adopting or buying a dog doesn’t necessarily require any training for the family to have. That is why many owners are not able to understand them, their signs, their emotions, feelings especially at the time when they are angered, ill or bored. 

People own many types of dogs like Boxer, bulldog, German Shepherd, Pemarian, Pitbull, Rottweiler, etc. and every dog has different needs, different schedules and their maintenance. Some owners even have multiple dogs but forget to take them outside. They keep them in their home forever, remember dogs naturally come from wild habitats even if they were domesticated early by humans, they need to stay on ground not on beds and tiles all day long.

These all things could be taken care of if you join the dawg business and make people aware about the dogs.

How to start a dawg business?

I warn you beforehand that dawg business is not as simple as it seems on the outside, there are many things to be taken care of in this field, you need to be prepared beforehand, that’s why you should get as much experience before starting your own company. 

Also this business requires active work, which means it requires much physical participation, so you’ll need to get accustomed to it before joining any other dawg business company. You’ll need to get used to dogs such that you may easily be able to handle any dog that comes to you. These are some things that you’ll get to know about in the first two to three months. 

Tips for dawg business

• Dog insurance: Once your firm/business has begun, do not delay in getting the Dawg insurance. You might wonder that it is not a suitable time for getting insurance but you never know what may happen, that’s why it’s always appreciated to prepare for the worst. You’ll get a high reputation if you have dog insurance and it will come to rescue in case something goes wrong.
• Get your criminal history and records checked and clean, this will help the owners of the dog to put complete trust in you because you will frequently be entering their home when they are not there.
• Focus on a particular region, do not focus on wider regions because you’ll get calls from far away and you won’t be able to manage them all. In the beginning at least you should try a narrow region.
• Share your business. Tell your friends, family and others, get your business card printed. Share fliers which will help you a lot and your clients as well.
• Manage the dogs efficiently, take care of them and keep them happy. This will make the owners satisfied and they’ll contact you frequently. As you get more calls you can employ more people to work with you.

Skills required for dawg business 

1. Take a dog course: It could happen that sometimes you are not able to figure out why the dog is behaving in a certain way, at those times you would want to take a course in the dog’s behavior and body language. You can take both online or offline courses. You can get free knowledge from YouTube or Google but it is best to get a certification that’ll show credibility. 
2. First Aid Certification: Dogs can scratch themselves if they are being careless. Usually nothing goes wrong but if something was to happen by chance then you should have proper skills to give the dog first aid. Therefore get a certification in Dog’s first aid.
3. Dog training certification: Dog training certificate can really move clients to hire you. They’ll be satisfied with your skills and likely everyone would want you to take care of their dog in place of a person with no knowledge. Knowledge always proves helpful.

You don’t need to have all these courses but it surely increases the likelihood of you getting selected by your clients. First you should gain some experience by working with dogs in your family or friends. Gradually you can build an expert team that comprises all the skilled people and get calls from far and wide to increase your business.
