Process Canine: A Field of (Doggie) Dreams
42 SUMMER 2021 | WWW.SHAKER.LIFE
Oftentimes, a determining factor in the success of a business can
be enthusiastic customer response. For Amanda Corr, owner of
Process Canine, a dog daycare, boarding, and training facility located
at 3706 Lee Road, what began as a side gig out of her home has grown
by leaps and bounds.
Ten years ago, Corr was employed by a dog daycare business. Two years
in, she decided to go it alone, offering services out of her home in Lakewood.
“I offered overnight dog sitting,” she says. “I soon moved to Cleveland
Heights and continued the dog sitting. It felt like a temporary job, and I
thought I would watch people’s dogs until I found my career.”
But word-of-mouth referrals caused Corr’s client base to grow rapidly. “All
of a sudden I had this full-time job where I had dogs boarding at my house –
on a small scale – along with daycare.”
After unsuccessful attempts to find a larger space, she decided to focus
on obtaining certification to become a dog trainer. In 2015, Corr attended the
Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers in Santa Rosa, California.
