Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Our inspiration comes from the bond between dogs and their owners. It began with Lucy, a high-energy puppy who taught us the value of patience, creativity, and positive reinforcement. Seeing dogs transform from anxious to confident and families grow closer drives us every day. We’re inspired by our clients’ dedication and the joy of celebrating every “wagging tail milestone.” This passion fuels our mission to create a safe, supportive space where both dogs and owners can

How do you stay motivated?

We stay motivated by witnessing the incredible progress of our guests and their dogs. Each transformation—from a nervous pup gaining confidence to a family celebrating a training milestone—reminds us why we do this. The joy, trust, and bonds we help build inspire us daily. Additionally, the support of our community and the chance to explore innovative, positive training methods keep us energized to make a lasting impact on dogs and their owners.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, we would upgrade equipment to enhance the training experience and launch new programs tailored for rescue dogs, senior dogs, and families with children. We’d offer scholarships to make training accessible for underserved dog owners and invest in technology, such as progress-tracking apps, to improve guest engagement. Additionally, we’d support staff development to ensure we continue providing innovative, high-quality training and services to our community.
