Our business was model was founded upon 3 simple principles:
1.) 100% Transparency – At The Dog Stop® we have an open door policy. Any client is free to take a tour and see exactly where their dog is playing or staying at any time.
2.) The BEST Customer Service – We never say “NO” at The Dog Stop®. We work very hard to always find a way to accommodate the needs of our customers (2 and 4 legged). All of our policies and procedures have been specifically created with the customer in mind. We always provide exceptional care to our doggy clients while making it convenient and affordable for our pet parents.
3.) One Stop Dog Care – We have combined all of the dog care services under one roof. This means your customers will never need to find another competing business for any other services. It just makes sense to offer everything your customer could need for their dog at one convenient location. That is why every The Dog Stop® location offers : Dog day care, overnight boarding, grooming, obedience training, in-home services and a retail store stocked with the best foods, toys, treats and accessories available.
We have established a franchise business model that positions us to be the best franchisor in the industry. Our growth plan allows us to give our franchisees the attention they deserve on an ongoing basis, not just during the franchise sales process. In order to provide the most complete franchise service program, The Dog Stop Franchising has assembled a team of executives and management personnel with over 100 years of experience in building and SUPPORTING franchise programs.
Jesse is the original owner and co-founder of The Dog Stop®. They he has built a best in class team which has continually refined and developed all of the policies and procedures that make The Dog Stop® the best dog care business in the USA. As a dog owner himself (three dogs), he was not happy with what was available in terms of dog care. Jesse sought out to develop a dog care concept that was centered around the customer experience and fixed all of the common flaws in the dog care industry. Every policy and procedure was created with the dog owner in mind to maximize customer satisfaction while improving transparency, convenience and value.
Jesse has lived the life of the store owner, put in the long hours and knows exactly what it takes to make a location successful. Likewise, the support staff have all worked every position in a The Dog Stop® store and can use real world experiences to help guide you on a daily basis. We take great pride in supporting our franchise partners, after all, when you join The Dog Stop® team your truly part of the family.
