    I haven't come across any dog busses per se, but I have seen some advertising/marketing for doggy day adventures. I'll keep this idea in mind, thanks for pointing it out.

    It's hard to believe it's been almost 3 months since my last post. I think about this community often and hope to one day contribute more value. Getting to that point means putting in the real world work, and so I haven't had/made the time to be more engaged here. I finished my academy, so I am...

    Revenue is still okay, around $30k this quarter. Paying mortgage plus rent until tenants of our own move in and other large expenses, like a contractor and mechanic have put a strain on things.

    I'm struggling to find the words for an update. Things feel messy, yet wonderful. I've adopted The Profit First method - I've got a tax money pot and "profit" squirreled away. I've stayed on top of monthly payments. I currently have $200 in my personal spending account. I can't believe how...

    Update April 2026 So much has happened since my last check in. A friend in the city moved into a new home and offered to let us rent their old house - for a very reasonable rate AND allowing our 4 dogs. Not only is the rent significantly less than our mortgage an hour south, my longest commute...

    Not yet, but I shall! Thank you. I thought about doing that, and for a couple of my clients I will. I just don't want them to take it and forget or make them feel like they have an extra chore to do. I was kind of waiting to see if they came back and asked me for one for their friends/family...

    Thank you! Actually, most of my clients rescue their dogs. And all but one with a purchased dog got them from out of state. So, while I like the idea of adding breeders to my list, I'm not sure it's the right target for me at this time. I define my ideal clients a bit more tightly than that...

    February 2026 - midway check in. Book list: Lean Marketing, The E-Myth Revisited, and Pre-Suasion. I'd probably have a few more to list, but I went back and listened to parts of Lean Marketing and Pre-Suasion again. I set up 3 of my own Google Ads campaigns and I think I finally understand 70%...

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    What is your overall goal? I imagine you're using social media platforms mainly for marketing and advertising for your courses, not relying on your content alone to bring in revenue. What can you do to make your message/content different from the next guy? Where can you show up that they aren't...

    I've done a little bit - I've been helping a rescue with one of their dogs and featured them in this week's blog article, and I've been building a working relationship with a veterinary behaviorist (who I also featured in a blog article). One of my clients told their primary vet about me, and...

    The Ugly Truth About Your Mind’s Power

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for sharing! Your post reminds me of a book I listened to recently - Becoming Supernatural. Lots of stories about people who became prisoners of their stressed out bodies, and then took control back of their minds and emotions and eventually made full physical recoveries. Pretty...

    January 2026 I've been listening to a lot of books and implementing some of what I've been learning. Book list: Profit First, Get Different, The Pumpkin Plan, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Unreasonable Hospitality, Blue Ocean Strategy, Unreasonable Hospitality, Giftology, and Your Next Five...

    Year End Thought Exercise: 10 Questions to Ask about This Year

    MINDSET 
    What was your biggest triumph? Was there several, or none? Why? My biggest triumph has been helping more people more thoroughly with their dogs' problems - I feel much more competent and confident as a dog trainer (though still so much to learn!). I've gotten some great feedback about the value...

    No, there's no blanket requirement for dogs to be chipped in the US. Some towns will require dogs to be registered, but that's separate paperwork and I don't believe microchipping is required for that. Also, from what I've been told, if a dog is scanned and found to be chipped, the chip doesn't...
