A mandatory Meet and Greet which allows staff to become familiar with and evaluate dogs is required before daycare or boarding reservations to ensure the safety of all dogs and care providers.

One of the owners is the General Manager, the other owner is involved on a more casual, part-time basis and focuses primarily on basic facility maintenance. Consistency of the service quality and general facility safety is maintained via employee completion of a mandatory training program, well documented processes and operating procedures, and strong Franchisor support.
The employee training program was developed by a registered animal behaviorist and has been certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) and the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT).
The Franchise operations and protocols have been designed and structured to create an environment of, and opportunity for success which is achievable by motivated individuals without significant training or experience in animal behavior or care, willing to learn from and follow Franchisor advice.
