Iconic Businesses of Dallas

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning into the Iconic Businesses of Dallas podcast. I know I have been MIA recently and its been because DFW real estate has been booming! No matter how busy work has been keeping me, I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to interview my next guest. I had the the pleasure of interviewing Anddy Barnes, a licensed class A barber and veteran turned entrepreneur who has successfully built his own business from the ground up. Not only does he own several salon suites in the DFW area, he also offers a mentorship program for people wanting to jump start their careers… but there's much more to his story then that! Join us as we delve into Anddy's amazing journey and gain valuable insights into the world of entrepreneurship.

Dog Fit Dallas is a dog pack walking and training company that was started after Art Ortiz lost his corporate job. He was out with his three dogs when a stranger asked if he was a dog walker, which actually offended him! In his mind, he was better than that. Little did he know that stranger planted a seed, which later came to fruition in 2012. Dog Fit Dallas isn't just a business, it's a community of dog lovers, and Art's love and understanding of animals is definitely no secret. Art is a professional member of the International Association of Canine Professionals and has also been featured in D Magazine’s Dallas 40. He works closely with Caesar Milan, "The Dog Whisperer," and travels to California and Florida frequently to help train others on Caesar's Philosophies.
