Ottawa Dog Blog had the chance to interview local business owner, Cheryl and Yan, who owns Country Living Dog Resort, a cage free environment for dogs.
Name: Country Living Dog Resort (Cage Free)
Location: St. Albert, ON
Website: dogresort.ca
What kind of dog business do you do?
I have a Cage Free Dog Resort in my home. I really try to create a stress free environment for the dogs and make sure they get a lot of love and lots of exercise!!
How did you get into doing dog-related business?
I’ve always enjoyed the company of dogs. We’ve always had dogs at our place growing up. My fiancée and I discussed starting a pet business shortly after meeting each other. We either decided on a pet store or Boarding Kennel. My fiancée wanted also to become a Professional Dog Trainer in addition to having a pet business. He took a 16 week course, and is now a certified trainer and behavior consultant (bad dog behavior). We decided it was time to either start from scratch or buy an existing business.
We discovered an ad for Country Living Dog Resort in our local community newspaper stating that it was for sale. After a couple of showings, we were convinced. We sold our house and took over in June 2009.
