Who is Dan J Barton

Dan Barton is a successful author, entrepreneur and speaker, and is known as the Pet Business Coach.

He began his entrepreneurial career with a lemonade stand at a very young age. Eventually, at age 28 he became a franchise owner of World Gym Orlando. One gym became five, and eventually he was brought on board as CFO.

Segueing into the world of pets and grooming, Dan opened Hollywood Premier Pets, a grooming salon and retail pet supply store, located in Palm Desert, CA. A short time after opening, he won the “Retailer of the Year” award for Outstanding Merchandising from Pet Product News International in 2011.

Drawing upon his 15 years experience in the fitness industry and seeing the potential for a membership based dog-bathing system, Dan set out to change the pet industry with the creation of Splash and Dash for Dogs, a membership based dog-bathing program that provides unlimited access to a spa-like treatments on a monthly basis. Splash and Dash for Dogs was an overnight success at Hollywood Premier Pets.

With a newfound profit center in his shop, Dan perfected his system and took Splash and Dash for Dogs on the national stage through a licensing program, so other shop owners could benefit from his success. With a few leftover hours of free time, Dan has written his first book Stop YOUR Bitchin’ and Start Making REAL Money! The honest truth of what it takes to succeed in the Pet Industry.
