What to do with Muttessori?
Our family has grown and we need to convert the dog training and boarding area to a bedroom and playroom for kids. Boarding and board and trains are the ONLY thing that has kept Muttessori somewhat viable as a real business, not a hobby. We also have a few new trainers in town including the ever present franchise Sit Means Sit. We DO NOT use positive punishment, chokes, prongs or electric collars which is the one difference that NO OTHER trainer in town offers. So what should we do?
🐾 continue 1 on 1 trainings with owners
🐾boarding only friendly dogs who can co-exist in the whole home (must be dog, cat, kid friendly which doesn’t serve many of our previous clients)
🐾find a brick and mortar and ramp up business
🐾 do group classes in free public locations
🐾shut er down and move on
