"Reading this [Starting a Kennels] kit has confirmed a lot of things I already thought I knew about good kennel management and has let me know how you achieve it, which I was not so sure of in terms of building design.
Thankyou for that and for the step-by-step unscrambling of what was a jumbled mess in my head of how to proceed! Thanks for the kit - but not the sleepless nights it will generate(!) as I impatiently pace the floor and run my future kennels in my mind and on paper for now!
You have been really helpful so far and its a relief to be able to communicate with people who believe in what I want to do. Thanks for your time and support."

At this stage, you'll want a 'ball-park figure'. After all, you need to start somewhere, and you need to know whether you have enough financial resources or backing to start this adventure. But what if you know roughly the size of the buildings you want, and just want a per square foot/metre ballpark figure?
|
-
We give the ball-park figures per kennel, based on what it costs for people to build TODAY*
-
We give examples, cost breakdowns, and even a layout showing you the size and cost differences when you compare the two types of 10 kennels/10 dog hotel.
(Providing you with figures in 10's of kennels makes the most sense, as most of our clients think of building kennels in 10's)
-
We give the square foot/metre figure.
*Costs are provided in UK pounds and USA dollars only. |
|
Yes there are various ways to reduce costs, but they don't suit everyone and they should never be at the expense of the quality of the kennels you build. That would be a huge mistake for many reasons, all of which we'll explain to you. |
-
We explain the various ways you can substantially reduce costs
-
We help you decide if the options are realistic for you
-
We'll explain how to match the quality of your kennels with the right fees and income, and how much you stand to lose if your kennels are built to a lower standard
|
|
You might think that there will be little financial difference between building a kennels on your property or buying an existing kennels business - but the differences can be huge, make no mistake. As long as you're prepared for them, and you know what to expect, you can avoid a major financial disaster. Do you know what the differences are? |
-
We will tell you why some people HAVE to buy an existing business rather than build a new one
-
We'll tell you what the pitfalls of buying an existing business are so you can avoid them
-
We will tell you which types of people SHOULD build from scratch because it's the right option for them
|
|
Sounds like a simple question, but the answer has a huge impact on your income - and we're not just talking about the number of kennels here, it's the quality, number of kennels in one building, number of dogs licensed for the sizes you have, how these matters affect profitability.
We want every single new or potential kennel owner to have the best knowledge, the most up-to-the-minute market information and the biggest smile from confidence and security that only comes from proper research.
|
-
We will help you to be as successful as you can be, and probably even more successful than you can imagine right now.
-
We will explain how to work out the number of kennels you need and what the maximum number of kennels you should have in any one building is - and the myriad of reasons why and how this will benefit you not just now, but in the long run.
We will give you LIVE statistics on how many kennels per building (minimum, average & maximum) 675 boarding kennels (live figure right now, and increasing every day) have, AND explains how getting the RIGHT number of kennels per building makes a HUGE difference to profit levels, dog welfare, noise, staff, visitors, and the wow factor.
No-one else provides LIVE statistics on boarding kennels, let alone statistics on kennel numbers per building, tells you the most successful number, AND compares the profit differences!
-
We will give you LIVE statistics on kennel numbers, and number of dogs licensed**, average, minimum and maximum, from 737 boarding kennels (live figure right now, and increasing every day) in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.
No-one else provides LIVE statistics on boarding kennels, let alone statistics on kennel numbers and number of dogs licensed for!
- We will explain how you can get the maximum income by following our single oh-so-simple easy guideline
**These figures are always live, up-to-the-second whenever you request them, and are provided by kennel owners themselves who have entered their own profiles on our boardingkennels.org website. |
|
Most people assume they will need LOTS of kennels to be able to make a good income - but it's just not true, you just need to make sure you build the best kind of kennels.
But you don't have to take our word for it... Want to know what percentage % profit existing kennels make? and whether it's higher for those with more or fewer kennels? I can tell you now that the maximum profit is noticeably higher for one of them!
|
-
We will show you how having fewer kennels can increase your profitability.
-
We will give you LIVE profit statistics**, average, minimum and maximum, from 308 boarding kennels (live figure right now, and increasing every day) in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.

|
Oh yes - quality, size and occupancy numbers certainly do make a difference. A huge one.
You only need to look at our easy-view income charts to show you the difference even the smallest increase in price will make to your annual income. And when we show you the difference the income the highest quality kennels will earn --- it will simply blow you away!!!
It doesn't matter how many kennels you build if you occupancy is low - so it's important to know the relationship between number of kennels, quality and occupancy levels. How do you work it out? How about those customers with more than one dog - have you even thought about them? |
-
We'll give you easy-view income charts where you can see at a glance how typical income levels affect your bottom line - without you having to lift a finger.
-
We'll give you easy-view occupancy level charts showing the higher quality kennels can achieve, and show you exactly how this will affect your income for the better.
-
We'll show you the surprisingly high number of kennels who STILL don't even meet the 2 most basic dog welfare requirements of a good kennels. Such basic requirements could so easily be changed to increase their income - so why on earth don't they do it?
Make sure you fulfil these most basic of needs to earn a better income.
-
We'll show you the astoundingly high proportion of kennels who make the simple mistake of not building the right size and number of kennels for dog owners who have more than one dog. This lack of flexibility and planning ahead will seriously affect their building costs AND income - so why do they do it?
Make sure you build the right size and proportion of kennels to maximise your potential - don't waste your money or risk reducing your income from the sheer lack of this vital piece of information.
-
We will give you LIVE kennel size suitability and multi/single dog kennel statistics**, average, minimum and maximum, from 618 boarding kennels (live figure right now, and increasing every day) in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.
No-one else provides LIVE statistics on boarding kennels, let alone on their kennels numbers and single/multi dog kennels statistics!
**These figures are always live, up-to-the-second whenever you request them, and are provided by kennel owners themselves who have entered their own profiles on our boardingkennels.org website. |
|
This is absolutely KEY to your success - building kennels that allow you to have the best income with the least amount of dogs. Why is that important? Well, the fewer dogs you board, the more care and time you can take with each of them, therefore the higher income you can earn for providing such a quality, caring boarding kennels.
|
-
We will show you what fees are earned by the exceptional, high and good standard kennels, and how.
-
We will show you the HUGE differences in fees, and the IMMENSE impact what you charge has on your income. After seeing these figures we'll be absolutely astounded if you still think that lower standard kennels and fees are the way to go!
-
We'll give you guidance on the range of kennel fees that suit higher standard kennels, whether to charge different fees for different sized dogs, whether to charge seasonal fees, how much of a percentage % to charge to reserve and secure each booking for the best occupancy rates.
-
We'll give you case studies from real kennels, some who have only been going for a year, and are a roaring success both financially and personally for their lifestyles.
-
We will give you LIVE kennel fees statistics**, average, minimum and maximum fees for small, medium, large and giant dogs, from 614 boarding kennels (live figure right now, and increasing every day) in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.
No-one else provides LIVE statistics on boarding kennels, let alone on their kennels fees!
**These figures are always live, up-to-the-second whenever you request them, and are provided by kennel owners themselves who have entered their own profiles on our boardingkennels.org website. |
|
Once you know what fees you should be charging, and what your kennels will cost to build - you have the basic building blocks for your own Kennels Business Plan.
-
We will show you what the exceptional, high and good standard kennels are earning --- how and why.
-
We'll share with you the one very simple, so-obvious-you-probably-haven't-thought-about-it ways in which you can increase or reduce your income. No, we're not talking about offering different services or products here - but the one, most important thing that will affect your income positively or adversely, no matter how good your kennels are.
-
