| Top Dog Daycare | Zoom Room | |
| Training | The Zoom Room's proprietary online classroom is like a grad school course in dog behavior, providing a comprehensive educational background. After completing this course at your own pace, completing all assignments, and performing volunteer work at local shelters, you will attend three weeks of hands-on training in Los Angeles learning the curriculum, training methods and dog handling, as well as our state-of-the-art software system for managing enrollments, inventory, sales, accounting and client management, as well as all other topics germane to running your business successfully. You will also receive richly-detailed curriculum guides for all classes. | |
| Support | Newsletter, Meetings, Grand opening, Internet, Security/safety procedures, Field operations/evaluations | All of the worlds best teachers know that learning never ends. We have been training dogs forever, and yet not a day goes by that we do not pick up some new insight, technique, or modification. Recognizing this, we make sure that all of our franchisees receive ongoing training. If there is a better way to get a dog to stop counter-surfing, or to bring you a latte, we want to make sure you know all about it, so you can share it with your clients and their eager-to-learn dogs. |
