    INTRO 
    I started by training myself to quickly notice problems. Problems I was having, problems others were having. For me, it took a while to identify them, but after a couple of months I couldn't stop thinking of problems that needed to be solved. There are so many successful people out there. Find...

    My sense of time is pretty messed up, so I'm not sure if I'm overdue for an update or if I'm early. Here goes anyway: I'll be leaving my 9-to-5 a bit earlier than expected. Initially I had planned to leave mid-September, but I got pushed off a couple projects early, so my last day is officially...

    Most "super tough" toys I've bought don't last long. Surprisingly, a dog toy from Costco that I thought would be garbage in 10 minutes have actually lasted over a month... I got three of them (one for each dog). They all have some damage, but they're still remarkably intact. I found the same one...

    @Andy Black I'm so glad to hear (and see!) that things are going well and that you all are settling into your life together. Thank you for giving the update and sharing those photos and videos! Her zipping around made me laugh :rofl: One of the indicators we use for how well Klaus is doing is...

    Thanks, Andy. Yes, it feels like it's moving quite fast. I always imagined a joint venture would come from working with someone for a long time, not out of the blue like this. Right now everything sounds like it'll be pretty flexible, but I'll continue to ask questions and bring up my concerns.

    6/12 2024 Things are getting weird. A client of mine wishes to invest $1,000 into my business. She doesn't want anything in return, she just really believes in me and my vision. I'm still speechless. My partner has been connecting with another dad through his son's summer basketball program...

    If it were only me and my dogs, I'd do it in an instant. Unfortunately my fiancé is against the idea of brining more dogs into our home, which I can't really blame him as we have 3 large dogs already and the dog biz isn't his thing. I'll keep poking around. I inquired about an SBA with one...

    Thank you, I hope so too. It has been very difficult as he has lost his sense of potty training, and for a couple of days he lost a lot of stability in his backend - he kept falling and getting stuck and had a hard time keeping himself upright when going potty. He also hasn't been sleeping well...

    I've been meaning to hop on and give an update, but things have been extremely rough for Klaus the last few days and I've been beyond exhausted. I've had some good chats with my vet and I think we have a better idea on how to move forward with Klaus. He's having a much much better day today...

    This is how dog socializing should work, imo. Dogs are like people, some energies mix well and some don't. Knowing your dog and what kind of energies they do well with is so important. This is why I really dislike dog parks. As people, we have a choice to be wherever we want and around whoever...

    Really? That's an interesting thought! I'm constantly torn between slowing down and speeding up. But right now I think my body and life in general are telling me I need to recover a bit myself - get back to better sleeping, eating, and exercising habits. I think once I leave my 9-to-5 I will...

    Thanks for pointing me to those posts, Andy. I have been posting to my dog training Facebook page, Instagram, and YouTube. My newsletter is through beehiiv. I have lots of ideas for posts/videos/newsletters, and additionally getting more eyeballs on them - it has just been going really slow...

    There really are a lot of differing opinions out there. And I'm glad you both are learning and enjoying the process together :) I do not know of any newsletters, unfortunately. I have been thinking of making one of my offered service packages geared towards new dog owners that would cover...

    Poor guy hard to think about what he went through before you rescued him. He's lucky to have you! Two things come to mind. 1. I built a positive association between her and my other dogs. Basically using treats and praise and pets when the others would be near her. 2. Helping them set...

    Thank you, Andy :) I will consider TikTok; that's pretty cool about showing videos locally first. I also haven't been using Twitter or LinkedIn. I'm mostly considering the job at the vet's to get a better inside perspective on how they work and where I might be able to fill some gaps. And also...

    Thought I'd pop in for a quick update. I had a chat with my 9-to-5 manager about how I was no longer fulfilled or motivated by my line of work. It was a really good conversation, the best I could have asked for it to go. The plan is to hang on until mid-late September to give him and the rest...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    Just because something isn't toxic doesn't mean they should eat it. Cows are not meant to eat soy or corn. They are meant to eat grass. Studies find that ecoli breakouts don't happen with cows fed grass. Cows survive eating corn and soy, but they do not thrive.

    I think it's interesting to think about how we humans can eat such a wide variety of plants, even though there are so many more that will kill us. Yes, everything in moderation, of course. Too much of anything will kill you, even water, yet water is essential. Additionally, there are sooooo many...

    Natural Dog Poop Cleaning

    IDEA SIDE HUSTLE 
    Reminds me of one of ours. He likes to poop in/on trees, shrubs. The higher he can get it, the better. We'd be carrying a firehose with us everywhere if we had to get it all off.
