From corporate America to brick-and-mortar business owners in Detroit! The concept for Barkside originated in 2019 when Cody Williams, then working in corporate America, visited a local dog park daily with his pet. He recognized the potential for an enhanced dog park experience and shared his vision with David Oh, a fellow dog owner and business partner. After receiving enthusiastic support from family and friends, Barkside was born, elevating the traditional dog park concept. “Given my background in the corporate world, I wanted to do something more impactful to the community and just to the city of Detroit,” said Oh. “That was the defining moment for me to move forward with this idea.” The 169th Motor City Match business to have opened in Detroit is not just for dogs and their owners to enjoy but has something for everyone! “As much as we are a dog park and bar, we like to think we’re so much more than that,” said Williams. “It’s just a really fun casual environment, and it’s so easy for folks to meet and make friends.”

Insights from having 2 different dogs When having multiple dogs in a home there will always be system in placed among themselves within their boundaries of the house rules . Riley is a retired working ranch dog trained in scentwork to manage property and chase out/alert to vermin in the area. Charlie is a house pet only trained in basic obedience. Charlie likes to join in on my scentwork training sessions with Riley. Although I haven't taught Charlie any of the commands he picked up behaviors that mirror Riley. Charlie learned how to herd from being around Riley . Charlie even helped Riley herd an armadillo out of the yard with no training on how to do so. Amusing to watch play out since armadillos are the same size as Charlie. Charlie is a pomeranian chihuahua mix, nothing in his breed history or traits is a natural tendency to herd anything. Riley is a Beauceron also known as French Shepherd. Being in an environment where the primary focus is to have a dog that can work my property. Charlie learned to enjoy going out to do property runs and help Riley with herding vermin out of the property when he is brave enough to do it. Environments are very influential. When setting up a culture of valuing each person's contribution to the team. Everything will begin to flow naturally and easily through all challenges. Having a stable environment is a huge factor in fostering and nurturing new talent and perspectives. Innovation and Growth becomes your biggest success. Everything else will follow suit.

Rocdog is on a heartfelt quest to find the perfect haven where the extraordinary bond between dogs and Special Needs families can truly flourish, transforming them into an unbreakable team. Typical dog training classes? That’s not quite our style. We’re envisioning something far more magical, a space that deeply understands the unique dynamics of this partnership, a sanctuary where every bark and giggle resonate with teamwork and trust. We dream of a place where the joyful interactions between dogs and their special families can be nurtured and celebrated, creating a tapestry of beautiful stories filled with love, laughter, and mutual growth. Such a haven would be more than just a training ground; it would be a community where every member feels valued and supported, where the special needs of every individual and dog are met with compassion and expertise. Imagine a place with wide open spaces for playful romps, quiet corners for bonding moments, and state-of-the-art facilities designed specifically for therapeutic and recreational activities. We’re on the lookout for a location that can serve as the perfect backdrop for these incredible experiences, a place where hearts can soar and tails can wag in harmony. Do you know of a spot that could be the ideal stage for these touching and transformative interactions? Together, let’s create a sanctuary where the magic of this extraordinary partnership can shine. 🐾🐶🐾🐶 #Rocdog #CommunityWorkingDogs

Business lessons from dogs! 🐶 Dogs are everywhere. 🐾 Which means there is always a dog owner walking a dog. Have you noticed there are two types of owners: Owners with dogs who jump and pull in different directions? 🐕🦺 And Owners with dogs who walk obediently by them, ignoring all temptations? 🐾 What’s the difference between the two? Probably both started at the same place; dogs who didn’t know how to walk on a leash. 🐾 The second set of dog owners realized that they needed to change their behavior (train the dog) to get a different outcome from their dog (obedient walking). 🐕🦺 My question to you is: how do you operate your business? 📊 Are you the first or second type of dog owner? 🤔 👇 Share your thoughts in the comments below! Let’s learn from each other. #leadershipcoaching #leadershipexcellence #smallbusinessowners #growyourbusiness #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness

Solutions for Expanding Pets in Apartment & Condominium Communities & Advancing The Recreational Boating Community
There are additional responsibilities & considerations when you bring a dog into an apartment or condominium community. Much is considered "common sense" and takes a little extra effort. Unfortunately, not all dogs and owners are the same. Some need a little extra education and incentive. This is where PooPrints Canada’s programs thrive. As an added benefit to our programs, we've partnered with the professionals at Bark Busters Canada. Together we design some "Tips & Support" that we share with our clients to help all persons living and working in our managed, pet-friendly communities. As they say, "It Takes a Village". For more than 30 years, Bark Busters has been helping transform relationships between dogs and their families. From their research and experience of working with over one million families, Bark Buster professionals understand that every dog is unique and responds to life differently. Our partnership offers residents of PooPrints communities a $50 credit towards Bark Buster Dog Training Services. If you presently live in, or are planning to live in a PooPrints Program apartment or condominium community and want to reduce the stress of certain canine behaviors, we recommend Bark Busters "Personalized In-Home Training". Bark Busters one-on-one training sessions are conducted on-site, and in your home, where your dog feels most comfortable. You'll receive hands-on training uniquely tailored to your dog’s temperament and needs. To get started, take our quick Free "Dog Behavior Quiz" on our website: https://pooprints.ca/ Enjoy ❤️ 🐶 #pooprints #petfriendly #apartments #condos #landlords #propertymanagers #assetmanagers #developers #reits #leasingmanagers

As a lifelong hunter, I've learned that teamwork is essential to success. This picture perfectly illustrates that point - just look at these dogs! They were bred to hunt centuries ago and still rely on each other to get the job done. Whether you hunt with a single pointer or a pack of them, training and nurturing is key. These dogs will run all day to please their owners, and it takes a lot of work to get them to point, and retrieve. But what's really remarkable is how these dogs will honor another pointer, regardless of breed or circumstance. When they've acquired a quarry, it's all about backing up the team. Have you experienced the power of teamwork in the field? Share your stories below! #huntingdogs #pointers #teamwork #huntinglife
