Internship Presentation

BTP 2010

Warrning!

Hello everyone!

- Since I have lost my voice

somewhere in Sweden, this will be pretty

quiet presentation!

Me and my idea

• I’m Madara and my busines idea was to

open a Dog Hotel.

• My internship place was a dog hotel

“Helenas Hund Hotel” in Sweden about

4km from Arlanda airport.

• There are 3 houses:

1) Reception

• There owners can complete things with a

documents and payments and also there

were some cages where to leave day care

dog if owners are in rush.

2) Day Care rooms

• There usualy stay day care dogs, there

are 3 rooms and in each 2 cages. In each

cage normaly stay 2 dogs. On the evnings

owners came to take their dogs.

3) Dog Hotel• Dog hotel has a 29 cages

and there can stay 58 dogs

and occupied particular

season, such as Christmas

are accommodated even

more.

My tasks and activities

• I did all the same what other

workers did there.

• So I feed and walking with

the dogs.

• And also I took a part in big

cleanings.

Gained knowledges

• I got more knowledge about

how exactly dog hotel works

• Found out that actualy it’s

not so difficult to maintaining

Dog Hotel

• Understood that lot of things

that I imagined I’ll need for

begining isn’t so important

and I can include them later.

Organization

• Also I found out some

things that could be

usefuly for me in future

when I would like to open

my own dog hotel.

For example:

•Board –where was writen

some necesary information

about dogs.

•Room where to prepare

meals and organizat all

feeding

• Also save hatch for

dogs, so that they

can come in and go

out their selves, but

with save lock, that

on the night noone

can get out!

• And double fence,

for more safety.

Future Plans

• I have to study more about dogs and gain more

knowledge from practice side before I open my

own dog hotel.

• I could have some practice time in some other

dog hotel or dog shelter, because in the way of

working these places are quite similar.

• After more or less 5 years I will be able to open

my own Dog Hotel and have enough practical

knowledge to well manage this hotel.

My free time in Sweden

• I saw some really nice places in Stockholm,

like:

1) Junibacken 2) Vasa museum

3) Skansen Christmas

market

4) After this we went for

some shoping and also

took a walk in the Old city

as well.

Afterwords

• Despite the inconveniences associated

with living conditions, I realy enjojed my

time in Sweden.

• This is a nice country and some day I

would like to visit it again.

• Thank you!
