Coffee with Jon - Think Big. Get Unstuck. Grow Your Business

Christine Fox has been a dog lover since she was a child. When she started her business almost 20 years ago there was no such thing as a dog day care center. There were 3 dog day care centers in 3 counties and now there are 63 in Macomb County alone. Christine has a competitor so close that she can hear their dogs barking from the entrance of her Mound Road location. What makes Wag 'N' Tails different is that education comes first. Currently Wag 'N' Tails' business has two locations and just launched two satellite locations. Wag 'N' Tails Mission Statement: Make a difference by reducing the amount of dogs who are given away or euthanized every year due to treatable and preventable reasons. It takes more than a heart and a home when you bring home a dog. 1. We prefer not to be called a day care for dogs. We're a school. The only difference is our kids are dogs! 2. We've been making "sit happen" since 1999 3. Our clients are pet parents, not dog owners. Wag N Tails offers: Board and Train Trainer Apprentice Program- Wag Academy Workshops and Seminars Group Classes In Home Training In Home Pet Sitting Overnight boarding Grooming Daily play and train Christine also operates two online companies: The Trainer Apprentice Program and Christine Fox TV Christine Fox TV is a personal coaching opportunity for dog lovers to follow and personally learn with her. It includes lots of filming and capturing moments with dogs that she uses as teaching opportunities. The Teach and Reach Program is a non profit. Rescue dogs live at the school or trainers foster them. The dogs are trained and rehabilitated until the rescues interview to find the best fit for a forever home for that dog. Christine is publishing her book in September 2019. It's called Mindfulness and Dogs. She is already writing the subsequent book called Mindful Dog Training, originally titled Dog Training, It's Not That Difficult, Your Go To Guide To Building An Awesome Bond With Your Dog. When Christine was in editing process, she realized that the book is mostly about being mindful. Being conscious like a dog – WITH your dog – so she decided to change the title! The first book isn't going to teach your dog HOW to stop pulling on the leash, it's going to discuss WHY your dog is pulling on the leash.

Chris Forte is a spiritual entrepreneur, author, yogi, teacher, inspirational speaker and host of the Humble Warrior Podcast. Chris's passion has been spirituality, health, wellness and fitness. As a former Division 1 athlete Chris has competed at the highest level physically and mentally. Chris took that discipline to the business world by starting his own company at the age of 27 and selling it for $60 million at age 36. Through his investments in his real estate portfolio and three unsuccessful startups he slowly lost all of his material wealth over ten years, including a 17 year marriage. This is when Chris leaned on all his spiritual fitness practices and turned to yoga. Over this time by only doing yoga, Chris not only got in the best physical shape of his life, he has been transformed, humbled and will live out the rest of his years living a purposeful life. Part of living that purpose is teaching spiritual fitness and yoga in his own unique way to help men and women live a more healthy, spiritual and purposeful life. Chris is a loving father and lives with his three daughters and his dog Buddy.
