Qualified plumber Josh Stringer, now 24, give up his full-time job in 2022 to begin his personal business, Dog Showers.
It was not a deliberate endeavour. The thought behind putting in showers to the outside of homes in Leeds got here following a dialog along with his mum in regards to the mess the pets make round the home after walks.
The first bathe was put in at his childhood home. And by the ability of social media, Josh started getting booked for jobs.
Demand for Dog Showers reached such a stage that the young entrepreneur thought it might be greatest to give up his job and pursue the business full-time.
Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post two years in the past, Josh mentioned he had a dream to take the business nationwide.
And he’s carried out simply that, putting in showers in cities like Manchester, Lincoln and Cornwall. Josh mentioned he’s happy with himself for reaching these milestones.
He added: “It makes you feel good and successful, especially with a lot of people say that ‘it’s a fad, it won’t last’ and that I should go back to my job.
“But the last two years have been really good. I’ve always wanted to work for myself. I went into subcontractor work, which has been a rollercoaster, but the Dog Shower business has always been a constant.
“Proving people wrong in a sense, I like that. When people think that it won’t be doable, certain jobs are a challenge, I always find a way to do it. I like the end result and I like giving customers a product that they are over the moon with.”
Josh, who usually hears that the Dog Showers are “worth its weight in gold”, has remodeled the product since its conception. Now extra compact, Josh can also be capable of personalise the packing containers with dog names.
He has additionally spent extra time not too long ago marketing the product, as he seems to take the showers to the “next level”.
Josh mentioned: “I like a lot of reassurance in any aspect of life. Doing my own thing, especially without any preparation, and for it to turn out to be so successful – that’s the best thing. How well known it is, as well. And I’ve been doing it all on my own really. It’s very hard work. It’s a good feeling, a feeling of success.”
