Set Sail to Reclaim the Gold Buried in Your Dog Daycare or Boarding Business
Want to start 2026 with clarity, confidence and a battle-tested plan to finally grow your daycare or boarding business—without burning out, discounting your services or spending all day bailing water? Then it’s time to stop patching the holes and start plotting a new course!

Whether you know it or not, you’re facility is probably leaking profit right now. And it can look like any of the following:

  • Your team is just clocking in but not selling your services.
  • You’ve got underused space and untapped time blocks no one’s buying.
  • You keep postponing that price increase—afraid it’ll cause a mutiny.
  • Your marketing is hit or miss, and your follow-up is non-existent.
  • You can’t step away, because you are the system.

You didn’t sign up for this. You didn’t start a pet care business to be stuck at the wheel of a ship that never docks. But here’s what most business owners don’t want to admit: You’re not outworked. You’re just using the wrong map.

But that could all change this January, when you can finally trade the chaos for clarity—and join a crew of smart pet pros for the inaugural Pet Boarding and Daycare Barkleigh Pet Pro Cruise!

Over five transformational days at sea, the world’s leading pet business coach and marketing mentor, Dom “The Profit Buccaneer” Hodgson, will offer his brand new exclusive masterclass: Pet Biz Profit Pirates: Discover How to Unlock Hidden Gold, Parlez Premium Prices & Run a Dog Daycare That Practically Steers Itself to Success!

In this incredible series of sessions, you’ll learn how to:

  • Find the buried treasure already hiding in your daycare or boarding business.
  • Raise your rates and add in enrichment upsells, without backlash or mutiny.
  • Build a loyal crew that upsells services, delights clients and drives referrals.
  • Automate your marketing, follow-ups and onboarding so your business runs like a profit-pulling flagship.
  • Plus, there will be live business hotseats, where Dom works with real attendees on real problems.

And when the learning is done, the fun continues! You’ll be poolside, cocktail in hand and surrounded by sharp, motivated pet pros who are walking the same path as you—not to mention enjoying incredible Caribbean excursions in beautiful Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.

The Barkleigh Pet Pro Cruises are famous for building friendships, forging partnerships and finding the kind of support most pet business owners never get to experience. You’ll swap stories on the sun deck, trade hard-won lessons over dinner and leave with more than just notes and ideas.

Let’s face it—you deserve this. And your business will run better because of it. This is your chance to refocus, recharge and reclaim the vision you had when you first launched your business. You’ll return home not just refreshed, but rearmed with a clear action plan, new marketing tools and the confidence to finally charge what you’re worth.

So, are you joining us for this adventure? Or are you staying chained to the same wheel, hoping 2026 will be different?

Now’s the time to find your gold and make 2026 the year your daycare or boarding business sails free!
