Challenging Assumptions
From time to time …
Man's Best Friend is abandoned … by its owner
… and we decide to take them
… to our veterinary center
But … dogs barking in the veterinary center
… make people be annoyed by 24 hours of noise
What can we do?
100+ of ideas came into life after a brainstorming session
1. Isolate the noise with egg carton, that can be decorated with the logo and the colors of the veterinary center
2. Promote the center among the neighbors offering a discount for 1st visit or recurrent visits
3. Identify why the dogs are barking. It could be because of the location is so cold, so temperature could be regulated. Some other ideas can come from this fact
4. Make a campaing to involve people from the neighbourhood to make them concious about the objective of the veterinary center
5. Offer a free service of companionship for sick children or elders
6. Having a pet may help people achieve health goals, the clinic may promote that as slogan or motto
7. Train dogs as Therapy Dogs
8. Create a dog walking program
9. Create a dog daycare program
10. Buy anti-barking collars
11. To avoid noise, use cork to cover all the veterinary clinic and pet shopUse a electric shock dog collar every time barking
12. If they stops barking reward them.
13. Use a whistle that only dogs hear and bothered their ear, for every time barking.
14. Put the dog that is barking in a cage soundproof until up to stop barking
15. To sleep all the dogs that are barking
16. Wet to the dogs when barking

25. …
… the last 10 ideas

92. Use ultrasonic technology that avoids barking. Ultrasounds are activated when noise is over the suitable level.
93. Having a big garden in the clinic where dogs can run and play
