Rachel Wells Blog @ Jerzey Dog Resort

  Tuesday, June 22  Today, I would like to blog for 1 hour at Jerzey Dog Resort. Today, we did a zoom call because I am currently in Arkansas for the week. We talked about marketing after I looked at Jerzey Dog Resort's marketing part of her business plan. We talked about where we got the information about where she found the Albany info of where people drive and where it is really busy. Then we talked about her competition and had her look up if they are steps up and running and what makes them different from you.  Then part of her marketing plan was to ask questions for people to answer in a survey. Then we also talked about marketing activities to do before opening your business. Then we talk about what we are going to be talking about next time.   Thursday, June 24  Today, I would like to blog for 1 hour at Jerzey Dog Resorts.

Tuesday, June 15 Today, I would like to blog for 9 hours at Jerzey Dog Resort. Today, in the morning I got to run a playgroup with 30 dogs all by myself, which was heaven for me. Then I did the same usual morning routine with water check and poop check but after that, I got to play with all of them. Then I did have to leave a little early because I had a meeting for the Farmer Market that I am on Saturday in Glens Falls. Then after lunch, I came back and let all the dogs out after lunch.

  Tuesday, June 8  Today, I would like to blog for 5 hours at Jerzey Dog Resort. Today, I got to spend the morning with dogs and getting to know them. Today, there were 21 dogs at daycare, plus a couple extra that were boarding. I got to spend the morning playing with all the dogs and learn about what we would be doing on a normal day with dogs. I heard a story about customer service and how they deal with it. I have learned so far that owning a doggie daycare is not just about playing with the dogs but also paying attention to their behavior and looking for signs. You have to keep a complete eye on the dogs. You have learned all the dogs and what they need and reactions they may have to things.  Thursday, June 10  Today, I would like to blog for 9.5 hours at Jerzey Dog Resort. Today, in the morning I got to welcome all the dogs into daycare. I got to all the background like picking up the poop and filling up the water bowls, etc. Then after that was done, I got ...
