🐾 Day 1 – The Plan: Starting My Dog Accessory Business from Scratch

So… here we go. I’m starting a dog accessory business in 30 days. No sales. No real experience. Just a 3D printer, some paracord, and two Dalmatians who think they’re the CEOs of this operation.

🎯 Sounds fun, right? (Terrifying is also a valid answer.)

🎯 Why I’m Doing This

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something of my own — something fun, useful, and rooted in things I actually love.

I’m obsessed with dogs, I enjoy crafting, and I’ve always had a soft spot for small businesses.

So, this is my leap.

📝 My Plan:

• Design and 3D print custom dog tags

• Handcraft adjustable paracord collars

• Open an Etsy shop

• Build a presence on Instagram and YouTube

• And (hopefully) make my first sale by Day 30

🧰 What I Have (and What I Don’t)

✔️ What I have:

• A 3D printer

• Some basic design ideas

• A bit of free time

• A camera + Canva

• Two Dalmatians for “product testing”

❌ What I don’t have:

• A shop

• An audience

• Any clue what I’m doing 😅

But hey — that’s kind of the point.

This isn’t a “how to get rich on Etsy” blog.This is real, raw, and day-by-day building something from scratch.

📹 About the YouTube Series

Every day, I’ll be posting a 30–60 second YouTube Short sharing exactly what I’m working on — whether it’s designing dog tags, figuring out product photos, or arguing with my printer (again).

🐕 What’s Next?

Tomorrow, I’ll be:

• Picking my first dog tag shapes

• Testing my first prints

• And hoping nothing catches fire 😅

👣 Join the Journey

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting a pet brand — or just love watching someone build something messy and real — I’d love for you to follow along.

Let’s build this together. 💛
