Student Success Stories

With the help of my amazing family, I was able to fulfill my childhood dream of owning a boarding and training facility.  We built Wagging Tail Resort from the ground up and opened our doors in December of 2009.  We are currently the only deluxe boarding facility in our area (Jackson, Tn. and the surrounding cities/counties of West Tennessee).  We offer deluxe cat and dog boarding with a home-like atmosphere, a very successful grooming business, and I provide both in-kennel and individual training,  and behavior modification assistance.  I am the only Certified trainer/behaviorist in the area.  Our business has grown to a client base of over 2,000 in the short time that we've been open, and it continues to grow all of the time.  We are in the process of expanding our boarding capabilities with a large addition of our most deluxe suites to our facility, and will be breaking ground on that addition early 2013.  Starmark provided me with the tools needed to pursue this "dream job" of mine, and my family believed in my dream enough to give me the help needed to fulfill that dream.  I am truly blessed!
