Fran on Friday
Golly Gear is moving! Back to our roots, to a very small storefront. It’s been fun at Dogs in the Ring, but people just don’t seem to be training their dogs, so they don’t need a practice facility. We’ll miss it. We’ll miss having a wide open space to train our own dogs. And I guess that’s the problem. We were able to train our own dogs almost whenever we wanted. The ring was not reserved. It was not being used by clients, or trainers. We tried. We advertised. We reached out to trainers, to training clubs, to our own classmates. Many people came and enjoyed the space, enjoyed their dogs here, and enjoyed practicing their amazing skills with their dogs.
But it’s time for new adventures. Hope and I will refocus our energies on our core business. We’ll still have wonderful, cute and practical items for smaller dogs. We may add new items, we may delete items that haven’t been working. We’ll physically be right in downtown Skokie with a storefront, so people walking by may stop in and pick up a new harness or collar for their, or a friend’s, small dog. We’ll have our website – GollyGear.com is not going away! And we’ll still be training our dogs – at home.
