In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Behind the Business, Faheem sits down with Josh Rowlands, Founder & Head Trainer of In-Line K9, to talk about how working with dogs became more than a career — it became a form of therapy, a calling, and a thriving business.
Josh shares his journey from a 20-year military career to launching a dog training company that now serves hundreds of clients across Ottawa. We discuss the challenges of starting a service-based business from scratch, why teaching owners is just as important as training dogs, and how he balances scaling the business with staying true to his mission.
