SincereArtisan Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I just got through my first week as a 'Doggy Daycare Specialist.' I work at a local, new doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility, called Barkstown. The tall, dark, handsome, british owner brings us all coffee in the morning. There are plenty of dogs to play with throughout the day, the people I work with are awesome, and of course, I get to bring the dogs to work every day and have them tired out by the time we get home! And because I work there, boarding/daycare is free for me. I really do love it. My boyfriend dropped in to visit one afternoon, and later mentioned the moment he walked in he thought it was a Sarah heaven. Just perfect for me. I can't help but agree. But it sure does open your eyes to how much people work with their dogs (or DONT work with them, I should say.) There are a few that I've been giving NILIF treatment to when we go on walks and give treats, to improve their responses to me. I've already taught the crowd that "C'mere and sit!" means come sit for treats, which helps immensely when we need to distract them from a new dog coming in, or we just need them out of the way for a moment.

MaggieDog Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Oh cool! I can imagine how neat such a well run place must be to work at; the one I worked at for a year was not nearly that organized and employee friendly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 That sounds great! I work at a cat sanctuary so I get many of the same feelings about it... I just love being there. Not as cool as dogs, though, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
