If you’re relaxed and smiling at a meetup, your dog is more likely to be calm and friendly too. Basically—you set the vibe! P.S. We grow this community with ads… YEP, real money out of my day job paycheck. And we can only keep funding it if our poop scooping side of the business works. For that to happen, we need your referrals — and we’ll pay you for them. If you send someone our way who signs up for a FREE poop scoop (all they need is intent or curiosity — it’s truly no-strings, and we trust your character), I’ll personally send you $25 after we deliver on it. 👉 Get your affiliate links here Don’t know any dog owners with a backyard who hate scooping poop?
