help name my business
Comments (7)I think you are on to something, Paul, - setting your business off from other outfits. That looks like what the GarlicLady is saying also. About those tomatoes - The name could be a trademark used by your business to identify a product (your early tomatoes). A business name, identifying the business, might be something different. Maybe if you've got a lot of money to sink into advertising, you can create a "brand" but I believe it is easier to go with a name like "Newman's Own." It took the entire country only a short time to understand that this was Paul Newman's enterprise (or, at least, named for him and his family). It takes the money of a Warren Buffett and a very clever ad agency to turn GEICO into a household word. Below is a link to a site suggested by the Univ of Southern Cal business people to help with naming a company. It's quite involved but may give you lots and lots of ideas if you want to explore the process.

Comments (30)I like Transformations too - but it sounds like a Beauty Salon to me. But if you add the "Party Rental" part that would take care of that problem. But...if she is listing in the Yellow Pages, people will come to a lot of other names first if they just go alphabetically down the lists....See MoreHelp! Ideas Needed On How To Keep My Dobie Busy & Out Of Mischief
Comments (26)I hadn't thought of what busybee mentioned-- collecting behavior. I would think you'd see signs of it as you gather the items he amasses while you are out. I had some early challenges with establishing myself as the alpha after I adopted my rottweiler/mastiff-- along with some other challenges. It was a great experience for me as a dog owner-- and the exercises I used really helped increase our bond. I never implemented any one program fully, but I borrowed from NILIF (nothing in life is free) whereby she had to work for her food and walks with good socialized behaviors. I know this isn't your problem but I think ALL dogs/owners can leapfrog from the examples and benefit. The key is to start small. Grace had been picked up off the streets and was very likely from a puppy mill farm. I had to socialize her to the house as well as to people and other pets. At walk time, things could get crazy-- two large dogs and two cats (who liked to walk along with us-- ala a parade). Leashes would NOT be attached and the door would NOT open until both dogs were sitting quietly. This was a huge step for Grace, especially-- but both dogs benefited from the lesson in self control. Food time was another challenge-- Grace had a strong food drive. She was very underweight when I adopted her (and later I found out she had a productive adrenal tumor which very much increased her food drive) and while I wanted to get her back to health and feed her all she needed-- I insisted on sane meal times. I couldn't have a 115lb rottweiler/mastiff going berserk whenever food was prepared/laid out. This was where the lack of self control REALLY showed itself. Step by step I took her to a place where she would sit and wait for me to kiss her nose and say "Bon Appetit" before she'd eat. Obviously this took a lot of work over a period of time.. but it was something we continued until her last day. One day I was particularly annoyed with her and I skipped kissing her nose and saying, "bon appetit" and my sweet girl just sat there waiting for me-- with her food in front of her. Oh boy did that make me feel like a heel.. all annoyance dissipated and I got teary! She sure showed me! hahah. Again, I know these aren't your problems -- but the point is that especially with the working dogs, setting up exercises and routines will help with the behaviors you don't want to continue and firmly establishes you as the alpha.I share all this because my first dogs were sooooooo easy.. Grace was my first experience with a working dog and a dog that presented such a challenge. I learned so much from her-- and with her. All that said, I wouldn't be too concerned unless you are seeing collecting/guarding behaviors. I think the collecting of the things with your scent IS a natural behavior. I don't know that I'd jump to give her a stinky shirt but definitely identify the toys/articles that are "his" and when you collect what he's amassed-- replace with "his" toys/items. Do you keep his things in one place? I had a basket where I kept my dogs' toys and regularly referred them to it.. it was fun to watch them dig in the basket for their favorites. They never put things BACK in the basket LOL.. but they knew where to find them. Again-- you are all so blessed. These are just little bumps in the road in your long lives together! <3...See MoreI need help naming my microgreens business!
Comments (6)A local business uses "Micro Mama" so don't use that since it's already in use here in NH. I like "Oh, shoots" but I think I would do O' Shoots. Have you considered "Little Nikki's"?...See Morebuddyben
