We recently learned that The Paw Pad daycare and training
facility located on Route 22 is closing.
We’re sad to hear that a fellow doggie daycare facility is
closing. You may be shocked to hear that
coming from another facility in the business, but competition is a good
thing. It promotes growth, it challenges
you to continue to excel. If you have a
friend who is a good tennis player and you’re just an okay tennis player, the
friendly competition with them challenges you to improve upon yourself. On the same note it forces you to become more
creative. What new ideas or concepts can
we bring to the facility? If we want to
be number one what can we do to one up the competition. It makes you stop and think, perhaps
reevaluate how certain things are done to make them more efficient or perhaps
try new ideas. Competition teaches
you. Even though we’re in the same
industry no two facilities are exactly alike-unless of course it’s a chain or a
franchise, and even there I’m sure there are differences. Just this past summer we went to a trade
show. It was great to speak with other
individuals in the business to find out what works for one area and what
doesn’t work.
We wish
all the employees and the owner the best of luck on all of their future
endeavors. Additionally for all those
pups that may be looking for another facility we extend a welcome to come check
out our facility. We know it’s not your
home yet, but we hope once you get to know us it can be.
