What Makes Us Different
The Advantages Of Partnering With Us
1. Cultural Alignment
Partnering with a team of dog business owners ensures cultural alignment, as we share a passion for the industry with a goal of preserving the business’s values and legacy. Private equity firms typically prioritize financial returns first, which can lead to decisions that compromise the business’s original mission and values. This focus on profitability often overlooks the essence of what makes the business unique and valued by its customers and community. Our foundation is built on a deep-seated passion for dogs and a mission to improve the world for both dogs and their owners. We understand the importance of maintaining the heart and soul of your business, ensuring that any growth or changes reflect our mutual dedication to compassionate care for animals.

2. Stability and Respect for Employees
Unlike private equity strategies that often involve cost-cutting and downsizing, we value the existing team and aim to provide stability and growth opportunities for current employees and management. Common cost-cutting practices in private equity acquisitions include reducing staff or compromising on service quality, to improve short-term profitability, potentially damaging the business’s long-term reputation and operational health. We respect the company culture and are committed to supporting and enhancing the workforce. Our approach promotes stability and respect for employees, recognizing their contributions and fostering a positive workplace culture.

3. True Knowledge and Experience in Dog Behavior
Cesar Millan, alone, has been educating the world on TV for over 20 years and has 40 total years of Dog Behavior expertise. Cesar and I have been teaching workshops for over 11 years together for thousands of people and dogs. I consider him a great friend and we are on a mission to make the world a better place for dogs and people. Private equity firms tend to be primarily interested in the pet care space because of profit margins and financial gains with little to no knowledge of dog behavior or caring for animals. Our team of dog business owners have not just had successful businesses for decades. We also are at the top of our field in Dog Behavior and have proprietary systems and protocols that have been created based on this extensive knowledge and experience.

4. Continuation of Legacy
We prioritize the continuation of your business’s legacy, valuing the years of effort, care, and community trust you have established. The aggressive restructuring often undertaken by private equity firms can erode the unique identity and community ties of the business, leading to a loss of distinct qualities that took years to establish. Our goal is to enhance and build upon your successes, not overwrite them, ensuring that the business’s vision, values, and brand integrity remain intact for future generations.

6. Customer Relationships
We are a team of dog business owners who value customer relationships as we have been delivering concierge level service to our clients for over 90 years. Many private equity firms use cost-cutting and profit-centric motives that often lead to a loss of trust and loyalty among customers. We can ensure continuity in service excellence and customer satisfaction, fostering long-term customer loyalty.

9. Personal Investment and Commitment
We invest our own capital in our businesses, demonstrating a personal commitment and belief in their success, as opposed to private equity firms that utilize investors' funds, which may lead to less personal involvement and concern for the long-term success of the individual business.

10. Long-Term Vision
We are committed to long-term investment, recognizing the value of nurturing the business and its community, ensuring long-term visions and strategic growth plans. The investment horizon for private equity is usually limited to a few years, with a focus on rapid financial gains. This short-term perspective can neglect the necessary investments in people, infrastructure, and innovation required for sustainable, long-term growth. As dog business owners, we understand the importance of creating an environment of innovation and flexibility allowing adaptation to market trends and customer needs.

11. Unblemished Record of Success
Unlike private equity who statistically has a Bankruptcy rate of 20% of buyouts, a stark reminder of their high-risk approach, none of our companies have ever gone bankrupt, reflecting our prudent management and commitment to sustainable business practices, in stark contrast to the riskier financial maneuvers often associated with private equity. Private equity firms, treating companies they acquire like stock portfolio elements, may be indifferent to individual business failures, unlike our dedicated and focused investment in each enterprise’s success.
