What a great idea!! That for sure, would be my ideal job. I help out at my friends' boarding kennel and while we mainly do overnight boarding, we do have limited space for "daycare." I too have spent hours daydreaming how very different it would be were I in charge!Your enthusiasim is so inspiring! It's wonderful that at a realitvely young age you have a sense of what would type of life long employment would bring you fulfillment and happiness! I believe loving what you do for a living is the true key to a happy and rewarding life. Follow your heart, keep your enthusiastic attitude and learn everything you can about doggie day care, kenneling, legal requirements re: insurance and liability, costs and expenses, state requirements re: vaccination requirements, etc. I know many day care facilities require a pre-interview where they do temperament testing. Perhaps you could sit in on obedience classes, speak with trainers, etc. Is there a boarding kennel or doggie day care facility near you where you might find some part time/summertime work to get some experience and "pick" a few brains??? I'd keep a notebook and jot down all of my ideas. As you learn more, you can review your ideas and make adjustments, changes, etc. I wish all the luck in the world!! I wish so badly there were such a facility near me!!! Good luck!!
