THRIVE CALL FOR MEMBERS
Are you a facility owner who is also an IBPSA Member? Did you know that there is a private group, called Thrive, just for you to discuss issues from the owners’ viewpoint? There is a separate Thrive group just for your General Managers.
The next Thrive meeting for owners will be via Zoom this Wednesday at 2:00pm Eastern (US and Canada). This month’s topic will be “Best Practice: Evaluating Dogs for Your Business.”
Reactive dogs? Dog-aggressive dogs? Dogs with herding tendencies? Dogs that play too hard?
In this call we're going to discuss how to identify dogs that are a good fit for your program, how to mitigate unwanted behaviors like reactivity, and how to tell clients you are not the best fit for their dog.
If you are not yet a member of Thrive, please contact Stephanie at membership@ibpsa.com
