Business: Houses Dozens and Tichnov

business: The Tichnov family says they can understand the challenges of starting a new business in a new country and say not being timid and making personal connections is key to success, according to CBC. Syrian entrepreneurs in Moncton cautioned to take it slow "Find the right people who will answer your questions," said co-owner Stanislav Tichnov. "We talked with interpreters who told us what to do, what licences we had to get." Yana Tichnov says her business that houses dozens of dogs started off with a single puppy. But now their Lovely Doggy House boarding and grooming business in Fredericton regularly houses dozens of dogs and is in the process of expanding once again. The dog daycare, groomer, and boarder business is always bursting at the seams with playful pooches, due in part to the family not being able to say no to dogs. "We didn't start out by saying we wanted a business," said Yana Tichnov. "It started from scratch. And because we love dogs, we bought another puppy." The Tichnov then started dog-sitting for neighbours. We just bought one puppy. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
