Recommended Answer:
First of all put a business plan together so that you can approach banks etc for investment. DO your homework, check out local facilities, prices etc. Make sure that you have covered everything profit, loss and do a SWOT analysis. (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) Identify potential premises as well if possible.

It is excellent that you have done a degree in which you can use in later life. Good luck and happy training.

How Dog Training Can Help You Find the Perfect Family Dog


  • Business license, since it would be a business. Look into that area then go on into looking into health and safety regulations for animal facility care. Also when you open up you should require paper work (vaccinations, vet visits etc) to prevent sickness from spreading like kennel cough.

    But look into rules and regulations for businesses that would be a good start.

  • It would depend on what your state laws are or requirements are for where you are at. What state are you in? You would need a business license for sure, which I'm sure you were already aware of that. Since you haven't had much luck looking online you may want to contact your local animal service for information, just a thought hope this helps.
