We had the good fortune of connecting with Megan Billingsley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Megan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
To be my own boss and have flexibility

What should our readers know about your business?
We started the business right before COVID hit in March of 2020. I have always wanted to be my own boss and my husband helped to discover my dream of opening a dog training business. I had always dabbled in canine behavior or animal behavior throughout my twenties and early thirties. I got a weekly call or text from friends and family asking for help with their dogs. It just seemed natural to step into the light and bring my focus to this new business. I feel what sets me apart is that I didn’t just learn from dogs about behavioral modification. I’ve worked with big cats, wolves, sled dogs, birds of prey and woodland creatures in my career. All of this culminates into a varied array of behavioral modification knowledge that I’m able to use and formulate for each dog.
Every dog + owner relationship is different, there is no one cure. So being able to be flexible and versatile has helped my clients see the positive potential with their dog.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We made a similar itinerary for our out of towners during our October wedding. We had places such as Julianne’s crepes, the Vortex, Sweet Auburn BBQ, and Two Urban Licks for food.

Monday Night, Sweetwater and Orpheus brewing for beer

We had the Tiny Doors map, Centennial Park, Stone Mountain, and the Beltline as entertainment.

We really enjoy the funky vibes of Little Five Points and East Atlanta Village.
