The new "face" of WheelDoggy.com !

WheelDoggy.com has officially "hired" a new spokes"person"...
(that's him on the right).

His name is Sampson and he is a Yellow Lab / Mix that was rescued from a shelter in Texas through the L.A.B. Rescue Network.  He is one of the most lovable dogs that I have ever seen and it is hard for me to imagine that someone "gave him up". 

Please welcome him to the WheelDoggy team !

What kind of Service Providers sign up for WheelDoggy.com?

On WheelDoggy.com the Service Providers (or "Helpers") must bid for each job and are given a rating by their customers after each job.  In other words, they have compete for each job and be open to feedback by customers.

I've found that there are two types of Service Providers ... ones that see competition as something to be avoided so that they can take advantage of the people who hire them and the ones that see competing for business as a positive thing that will showcase the difference between themselves and their competition.

Which type of Service Provider are you?

What is your competitive advantage?  Is your business set up to provide the lowest cost for the tasks you specialize in?  Or do you provide outstanding service (which should be evident by your rating on WheelDoggy.com)?

Before you sign up as a Service Provider on WheelDoggy.com... think about how you want to compete and, more important, determine if your business systems and practices are in place to support it !

Welcome To WheelDoggy !

Do you have questions?
Sure you do. What are they? How can we help? Leave us a comment below and we will post a reply to the "burning questions of the day" !

Let start with... Why is it called "WheelDoggy"?
Well, we were looking for a neat name that was not too boring / descriptive (we started with "GoFindDeliver.com (tm)" for a period when we were building the prototype website), but also not too obscure or weird that people would not be able to remember it easily and, more importantly, tell their friends.

We kicked around a ton of ideas and one day ... it just appeared ! Dave (d.Mark "Dave" Wheeler, founder of WheelDoggy) remembered a character in an old movie from the 1960's called "MoonDoggy".

It seemed like a fun, easy to remember name ... it just needed a twist... or more accurately, "a wheel". So that's it... WheelDoggy is insprired by a 1960's movie character, MoonDoggy !




Did you know? (according to wikipedia) ...








A moon dog or moondog (scientific name paraselene,, i.e. "beside the moon") is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight by hexagonal-plate-shaped ice crystals in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.  Moondogs appear to the left and right of the moon 22° or more distant. They are exactly analogous to sun dogs, but are rarer because to be produced the moon must be bright and therefore full or nearly full. Moondogs show little color to the unaided eye because their light is not bright enough to activate the cone cells of humans' eyes.
