Join me as I give you a tour of our very own kennel in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada and walk you through everything we did to get started. Check out the pet-friendly environment my family and I have built over the past decade and learn what makes our business successful. I made this course with passionate animal-lovers in mind. I knew it wasn't a super popular topic, but I wanted to be the person who could ignite an animal lover's entrepreneurial spirit. I wanted to do this by giving them the concrete information and confidence they need to start their own pet care business.
