Leader of the Pack- Susanne McNab
Susanne is 29 years of age and has already had experience in as many fields of employment as few people would manage in one lifetime. After finishing her schooling, Susanne went through many different types of odd jobs. Eventually she turned to landscaping and attended the Landscape and Horticultural program at Capilano College. Unfortunately, she found that landscaping wasn’t meeting her needs. After two years, she was lured to a wage of $30 an hour sweeping floors during the graveyard shift at a grain elevator. This experience nearly broke her. The stress of working such odd hours in less than ideal working conditions caused her to change her life. She realized that making a high wage meant nothing if you don’t enjoy life. During this time, a puppy named Eddie came into her life. She realized he needed more exercise than she was able to give him while she was at work. It was then she found there wasn’t anyone in her area that could help her. When she left the grain elevator, she toyed with the idea of opening a children’s day care. However by chance, she met someone who promised to hire her to help with his dog-walking business in Vancouver. When the promises didn’t materialize, Susanne knew what she wanted to do. Pawzercise! Dogwalking Services became a reality. Pawzercise Dogwalking Services Telephone- (604) 466-8454 Email- info@pawzercise.com |
Susanne McNab, has learned first hand how important it is for dogs to
get plenty of exercise and socialization. She has found that dogs who are able to
socialize with other dogs have a much friendlier disposition than those that have been
isolated.
Susanne
began compiling her research before she began classes in the Self Employment Program. She
knew she was ready for this major change in her life. It was time to take control. She
diligently learned everything the program had to offer, and put all of it to good use. She
graduated with on February 3, 1999 and had her first client within days. She maintained a
rigorous marketing program, and slowly her business began to build, in spite of several
financial setbacks, including an operation that her dog Eddie needed because of a birth
defect known as hip dysplasia. A few short months after her business began, Susanne was
able to buy out an established dogwalking company. Today, her business is a full time
venture showing signs of rapid expansion.
