5. Business Background
Paula and Melissa got together and decided that they
wanted their own place.
They started this business because Paula was working at
another dog grooming place called Abby’s dog depot but
she wanted to start her own place.
Before she didn’t have a lot of responsibility for the place
she was working at but having her own business gives her
more responsibly and she is doing very well for herself.

7. Accomplishments
Paula started off just working for a small place for someone
else and now she is making it on her own and her own
business.
The most challenging thing she has to go through is
competing with larger businesses.
They over come these challenges by working harder and
getting their business known.
Most people just wash and cut their dogs hair at their own
house.

like you will make it far you can always find a
way to make yourself successful.
