If you have a knack for interacting with dogs and like working outdoors, there's a unique niche business idea that might work in your local area. This dog related business is in demand due to the time constraints experienced by more and more working people. The long hours they put in at work leaves them little time to play with their faithful dog who's often left home alone. When dogs experience long hours away from their owner, they often become restless, bored, and even destructive. This is a problem your unique dog business can solve.
Why not start a business playing with dogs? You would offer to come to a potential customer's home and provide play and exercise for their lonely canine. The customer would have the choice of choosing a fast paced walk, a 30 minute ball playing session, or other activity that provides exercise and stimulation. This service would give your customer peace of mind while providing the dog with the one on one interaction and attention he needs.
Of course, you could also combine this service with pet sitting for your clients which would give you an additional source of revenue. Other add-on services that could be implemented at a later time include scooping dog poop and at home dog grooming services.
To market your unique dog business, you could place your marketing materials in some local veterinary offices and kennels. Other targeted marketing ideas include setting up a booth at a local pet show, advertising on bulletin boards and local dog parks, and marketing your services at local pet stores. A skillfully designed business card with a photo of a happy dog as well as a clever tag line will help to brand your dog business. Of course, word-of-mouth will be your most valuable form of marketing for your business. Be sure to get testimonials from your satisfied clients to give your business credibility.
Your overhead should be minimal since you don't need to operate a fixed site and can use your home as headquarters for your unique business. As your customer base picks up, you can consider hiring a few trustworthy employees who have a good rapport with dogs to work for your company.
With the ability to add-on additional dog related services, there's no limit to how successful your dog play time business can become. It's the perfect business for a dog lover who enjoys a stimulating and varied routine on a daily basis. Why not give this business idea a try?
