00:00 Hi, I'm Suzanne, the owner of the Golden Wolf Pugin. We're a doggy daycare. We do breakfast
00:06 club, afternoon club and full day camp. We also open our doggy daycare exclusively to
00:13 the dogs that come each week for daycare and they can stay overnight. So they're already
00:19 used to the house, myself and the friends. We've been going now licensed for three years.
00:27 We include activity, we've got our own activity jar so the dogs pick their own ticket and
00:33 that can be school trips to the dog park. We've got different types of enrichment activities
00:40 and they get the school bus included so I'm a taxi and also walking as well so we go on
00:47 adventures in the woods. So I pitched my business to Theo Pofitas from Dragon's Den and he looks
00:56 at your business, what you do, he looks at your socials, your website and my pitch was
01:02 around the work that we do especially with the nervous dogs or they might be a little
01:08 bit nervous with bigger spaces. So it works really well because we're home based and in
01:13 my home so they can form quite good friendships together. They've got regular friends and
01:20 they get used to the pattern of the dogs that they're with. So you submit that on a Sunday
01:27 and then Theo will pick his winner. We've won the award, the small business award so
01:36 we get to go and meet Theo to get our award and you go to the big business conference
01:45 where there's other businesses, there's speakers from Google and different entrepreneurs where
01:52 you can connect and learn from the best out there. So I can't wait for that, I can't wait
01:59 to go and meet him.
