Or just convenient hands-free dog walking..
I am in the process of starting a small homemade modular service dog style leash business.
A few of you know already …
As soon as there is an actual store-front website up and running— I will let y’all know.
(and, mods, if this is not where this post belongs.. feel free to move it)

I know you are serious, but the imagination portion of my mind has drawn a complete blank.
Wats new?

interesting.
Pics would seem appropriate
(Might even get John to crack a grin.)
I don't know where else I'd put this thread ??
Maybe the Pets forum ?
You are your own marketing department....
You get to decide where you want it to be.
Leave it here or move to Pets?
No time limit on that.
stay tuned

How about short videos on how to voice train your dog. The couple of minutes you spent with Sam did wonders. Training videos to break the owners of bad responses to the dogs actions.

Adjustments made to the design.
New prototype tested and a couple more tweaks made.
Making a full set in 3 basic colors for a (got prior management permission) photo shoot at a local mall. Woo!
These pics will be used on the storefront website that I am setting up. (Which is a whole new thing for me- learning about how to make a working merchant interface on a website…. Eeeek)
Funny side note- using such ‘durable’ thread to sew the parts together (found great outdoor upholstery grade stuff- that should last!) caused mildly frustrating thread tension issues.. lol
But I figured it out.
And ordered a hand crank for the vintage Singer machine Cammy and Snik helped me find.
This grand ol’ lady needed a smidge of work.. but cleaned up well and is a fabulous little tank of a machine!

My grandmother had one like that. I wore a LOT of clothes made on it.
She did the same for 15 kids.....proving the lasting durability of both the machine and her !
Yours should make many leashes and probably live on after you've gone with that service you had done.
stay tuned
