K9 Cabins Pet Retreat for dogs and cats
США
Добавлен 16 май 2022
Hello and welcome to the official you tube channel for K9 Cabins a home business from home! We are a family owned and operated dog and cat boarding facility that we built from the ground up. We saw a need in the county we live in and took a chance and haven't looked back since! Owning a pet boarding business from home has had it's challenges but we address each issue as it comes. I love working with dogs on a daily basis, but 7 days a week gets hard at times. I do have my son which works a couple hours here and there. I thought it would be interesting to video some of my daily activities and challenges. I treat each pet as if they were my own and try my best to keep the animals safe, fed, and happy! If you enjoy dogs, cats, and the challenges of owning your own business, join me! I will upload when I can at this point. Please subscribe!

These two days were pretty stressful waiting to hear what was wrong with my wife's truck. She depends on her truck for her mobile dog grooming business. No matter how stressed out I get though, I can hang with the dogs and they remind me jus to chill and have a dogs view of life, happiness, period. Hope you enjoy this one, it may will be a while before I post another video.

Owner/Operator Dog boarding business from home Dealing with separation anxiety . #dog #vlog

Dealing with a dog that has bad separation anxiety can be yet another challenge of owning and operating a boarding business. There is only so much you can do for them being not the owner of the dog. I try my best though despite the damages a dog like this can do to your facility unless it's all concrete like a prison. I take you through a weekend of many thoughts and challenges. Enjoy!

Dog boarding business from home. Juggling between work and play with our guests. #dog #dogboarding
Просмотров 2732 месяца назад
Owning and operating a boarding business with no employees, makes balancing time between work and play with the dogs a challenge. Sometimes you just have to stop what you are doing and focus on just being there and playing with the dogs, or just sitting with them. What ever the case may be it's hard to prioritize time between the two. You just have to play it by ear, ( no pun intended ) and jus...

Sometimes having a dog boarding business from home isn't always peachy. Sometimes, it's not even the dogs, or the kennel! Everything around the business becomes almost an extension and it's a lot to keep up with.
Dog and cat boarding business in New Mexico Finally good weather for a walk! #dog #workfromhome
Просмотров 2273 месяца назад
Finally the mountain weather let up just enough to get a much needed walk in for two of our guests at the dog boarding facility! January weather has been horrible for daily activities like walking for our guests so I took advantage of today. I go over my thoughts on money vs. care for the animals in this business as well. Hope you enjoy.

your channel is not perfect SEO setup.
What?
looks like you have a great setup!! How do you deal with the waste ? do you put it in you septic or use some other method?
Thanks! I have a lot of acreage here so it goes into a big hole then buried.
Thank you for sharing this. This was a very enjoyable video to watch while stuck at my 9-5 desk job. I like seeing good people successful in their dog businesses. I’m a trainer and I’m in the process of starting my own business while still working my 9-5. My personal dogs are working dogs so they need additional enrichment. I do have a suggestion for Riot and dogs like her. You might try a dog trotter or dog pacer. Some people frown upon the thought of “dog treadmills” but they are not cruel and it’s not forcing the dog to do something it doesn’t want to do. Once they understand how it works, most dogs love them. Energetic dogs typically really enjoy the activity. It helps to supplement the walks in between actual outings plus if the weather is bad it’s more comfortable and safer for the dog. I also like to give a Kong (the black ones for tough chewers) with some natural sugar free peanut butter or other appropriate stuffing to keep them entertained. “Indestructibones” work well for these types of dogs also. It gives them something safe to chew on and enjoy when not interacting with you directly. I’ve recently discovered your channel and really like the content while sitting at my desk.
Thank you for the kind words! Dog trotter eh? Ill have to look into to that that is a good idea!
How much did it cost you to build the kennels compelte? Aout how much money do you take in per month? Where are you located? Thanks
About 27k to build doing all the work ourselves no contractors. Monthly Id have to run some numbers but varies big time from month to month. New Mexico.
Have no idea how you popped up on my feed but I love your channel. I just said last week, I couldn't wait for a kitty in a condo. And now one checked in. So neat!
Looks like I’m moving to Arizona with my pack of dogs. I love your setup and have been considering building a similar one for my pack of dogs.
Nice! Too hot for me over there! NM is hot enough 😂
The intro makes me feel like I’m about to play a retro video game 🥰
Haha! Right? Im an 80s kid what can I say? 😄
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your intro music/video! So 80s!! 🎉
Im an 80s kid so couldn’t help it 😂
Did you make the beds/cots or buy them? Any material you would recommend for keeping clean? Would love plans. Love the vids btw!
Buy them!!! They are keranda beds. Easy to wash off. I bought all nice fluffy beds when I started, huge mistake haha! Thank you very much!
Awesome, I’ll check them out! My wife and I are considering building a boarding/daycare place and these seem like the way to go. I know you are busy but if you happen to have the time, do you know the opening size of your guillotine doors? If you could do it again would you keep them the same?
16 “ w and 24” tall. Thats one thing I did right haha! Seems to work for all large and small dogs. Even great danes etc.
Awesome, thank you so much for the response!
I like the 80’s intro
I would like to contact you about a way we just did our doors. We ordered one from the place you did and loved it also. We then figured out how to make them.
Love to hear it! Im kinda over making my own though haha! Still would like to know!
How long do you set your hangout timer for? I have a dog boarding business, home based too. I’m in California. Nice to see you vlog videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that very much. It usually depends on how many dogs I have but bare minimum 25 to 30 minutes and that’s usually about four times a day.
Haha Captain is going nuts watching this video
Pearl is such a doll ❤❤❤
Hello from northern BC Canada! My family and I enjoy your videos. It's good, clean entertainment and just wanted to say keep up the good work! The world needs more salt or the earth, hard working people like yourself. ✌️
WOW, thank you so much for the kind words. Makes it all worth it! You made my day!
Anytime buddy, looking forward to the future uploads!
I think it's awesome that you are honest with the owners. I would want the same. My dogs are my kids, I wouldn't want anyone keeping anything from me.. unfortunately not everyone is like you. I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you so much. I agree dogs are definitely family and I try my best to treat all the dogs as such.
This has become my fave channel. I want to do this also.
I'm planning on building this summer. How large is your building?
Nice! Ours is about 12ft by 80ft ish, lol I'd have to measure length again. Good luck, hopefully building costs don't smash you too much.
Hi what were the building dimensions? I saw a snapshot of the blueprint but couldn’t make it all out
It's actually two buildings put together. My original plan was just one and they sent me two so I was like, well... LOL. 12ft wide and about 60ft long ish, lol I'd have to measure that.
What is the size of each cabin?
4' x 6' and 4' x 10'
👏🏻
I am always waiting for the next video. Keep up the good work.
🙏 Thank you!!!!!
You're a busy man! That's a great insight into how you actually interact with the client's dogs and treat them like your own. That's really something special!
Thanks man! That's kinda why I kept it small so I could show the dogs actual attention.
I am just starting a pet boarding business in Kentucky. On this video you said you were going to to order a pet door. I ordered one of those from that same company. I would love to contact you about ours. We love watching your videos.
Thank you! Did the door work out for you? Definitely curious.
You should open and kennels and let them out to play and see what they do
That is a big safety concern of mine. I don't do ANY group play. Seen too many things happen at other places.
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
I’ve watched a couple of your videos. What state are you in, just out of curiosity? It reminds me of Utah/Nevada. And how much did it cost to get your boarding business started?
New Mexico! I want to say to get it open was about 30k. My wife and I did all the work from the ground up so if you had contractors it would be a lot more.
Your living my dream man!! Your killin it!!
Plan on starting my own dog kennel and this helps give me an insight on all that’s really required. Might have a smaller audience but your helping me out!!
Awesome! I was hoping it would!
Your shin,,,,,,,,, OUCH!!! I know that hurt!
Great video! Loved it.
Amazing build! Did zoning play a big part in getting your property set up for boarding facility on your property? I know some places are restrictive. Im looking to setup something similiar after i retire from the military but im not sure what type of property i should be looking at that will allow me have my residence and still operate commercially. Thoughts?
Great question. We lucked out being out side of village limits and being in a non restricted, non industrial area. Definitely a lot to consider on all that. Noise ordinances etc.
I like the fact that you're old school with your boarding cards. A little less technically is never a bad thing. Another great video!😊
Right? If the net goes out I can still operate at the least I guess! LOL! Thank you so much!
Good stuff. Keep it up man!
Appreciate it!
I like that you have beds, they can sit on, sleep on, if they want. I was wary of ever leaving my dog, Chester, anywhere, but left him once, (not overnight) for about 3 hours, with his girlfriend. He and I were incredibly close. I was terrified of having to go to the hospital, and when I needed surgery, found a doc who allowed me to leave. I'm even older, now, and would feel very comfortable leaving my dogs I have now, with you. If I was younger, I'd want to do this. My property is very large, with trails throughout the woods. I wonder if our grandson might want to do this, at some point.
I used to have soft beds as well but they all got chewed up. I really appreciate the comment about leaving your dogs with me. I try my best with them and their owners. Show your grandson some of these videos and ask em?
Patiently waiting for more videos!!! I binge watched all of them and needing more lol😂
HAHA! Awesome! Thank you!!!! Working on another right now!
Put a nappy on her
Seems more like ranch work than dog boarding.
How is that?
I just built a boarding facility and used the same drain for the inside.
Nice! I bet good drain for inside!
The wife have a grooming set up? Would love to see that too. 😍
Definitely at some point I could do that
This is interesting, I live in Germany and want to do something similar. I’d love to pick your brain on some business numbers if you have the time. Thanks!
