Are Your Employees Building Your Pet Care Business?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Nov. 25, 2014 - PRLog -- NASHVILLE, TN, November 25, 2014 -- Pet care is a multimillion dollar industry, which thrived even during America's most recent recession. Nikki Ivey of DogSpeak has created in-depth training and consultation programs for boarding and daycare facilities that will ensure dogs entering your facility will leave better than when they arrived.

Services offered include dog daycare certification, kennel staff and customer service training and marketing. Ivey, with marketing director, Britteny Watson, is available for business training throughout the United States. Ivey trains employees and business owners about the importance of understanding dog communication and behavior.

Benefits of understanding dog communication include:
- Increased customer loyalty/revenue as pets leave less stressed and better behaved
- Decreased injuries to staff and pets related to fear, low confidence and behavioral issues

Tonya Read, owner of Creature Comforts in Longview, Texas, says "While checking my email one afternoon I came across DogSpeak. I looked through every section [of the website] and was excited to see that Nikki would come in person to teach us everything we needed to know. Hands on training is the only way to go when you're in this line of business. Both Nikki and Britteny are extremely educated in every aspect of a daycare and boarding facility, and it shows. We would not have had the time or patience to hire, train and write all of the material needed to open the doors."

Nikki is also available for onsite seminars related to dog communication and behavior.
Numerous DogSpeak courses and seminars can be taken online at E-Trainingfordogs.com, or can be done onsite in your facility. Cost varies depending on the needs of the facility and on the number of employees being trained.
