What's your business, and who are your customers?
We make custom Ergonomic Dog Harnesses. Our customers are dog trainers, dog rehabilitation therapists, and dog lovers.
Tell us about yourself
I saw a need for a better solution to walking dogs. Rather than the traditional aversive tools, I wanted something that allowed the dog to be comfortable and encouraged them to listen naturally. I listen to my customers and love creating new sizes and custom designs tailored to each animal's unique needs.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
That I created my own niche, and I have over 15,000 customers in my database.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Navigating the changing technologies and making things simpler for my customers.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Follow what you love.
- Listen to your customer.
- Anticipate your customers' needs and what the business needs.
