I charge $20.00/day for board and train dogs. The dogs are in my home, on the couch (if allowed), fed whatever the client wants, trained for whatever the client wants, essentailly treated as though they were one of my dogs. Up to this point I have never charged extra for me going to pick up or deliver the dog (most are somewhat local, within 20 miles). 90% of the time I pick-up or deliver whenever the client wants (within a few hours, depending on my work schedule). My question is would you pay extra for this service? One of the reasons I ask is that one client (Concho's owner, the silver lab I get on occaision) has a VERY steep curvy driveway that in the winter 90% of the time I can not drive up and have to walk with the dog (about 1/4 mile...sometimes with food in hand). Otherwise I get stuck or slip off the driveway. I kind of think I should be charging extra for pick-up and delivery. If they come to my house, they can come just about anytime they want, so long as I am home. (One client feels free to come even as late as 11:00 PM! To be honest I do not mind that).
