In all the feedback I’ve gotten about the Get Paid Podcast, the most common request was to hear from business owners who are outside of the B2B, teaching-people-to-build-businesses arena. So when I was introduced to Kim Greco and heard about her business, I JUMPED at the chance to interview her.
Kim is the owner of Paws and Possibilities, a dog-training business that’s expanded into multiple locations (and states!) and is starting to introduce less traditional revenue streams in order to continue its massive growth. Kim was so much fun to talk to, both about business and animal training, and her advice on hiring should NOT be missed.
In this episode you’ll hear:
— Kim’s long and surprising history of training animals, and how she transitioned from working with some more exotic species to training dogs.
— How Kim figured out her own secret to “having it all.”
— The key questions she uses when interviewing potential dog trainers (which made me REALLY uncomfortable).
— The one thing that allowed Kim to transition away from building a business that was based entirely around herself and her years of experience.
— The details of Paws and Possibilities’ first online course, how it’s priced, and why Kim is shying away from a membership model.
— Why she’s not all that interested in licensing her very unique dog training methodology.
— The progression of Kim’s revenue numbers since before she brought on help until the present.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Paws and Possibilities main site
- Manners Matter online dog training course
- Lysa Greer, Kim’s assistant
- Amy Wright, who connects entrepreneurs with online help

Love the concept of this podcast. I’m a dog lover myself so I was kinda hooked from the title and then listening to Kim. I agree that to make a difference with your paw-buddy (even to other things), it starts with the owner or who’s directly handling the business. Really glad to have listened to this podcast. Thanks Claire!
So glad you liked it, Ethel! Kim is just a fascinating guest, I’m just thrilled she was willing to share so much with us. Thanks for listening!!
Hello! Just listened to this podcast and am interested in taking the ecourse. Unfortunately I think something may be wrong with this site, I’ve clicked around there a bit and keep getting this error code. Thought you’d like to know:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function tve_is_cloud_template() in /home/pawsandp/public_html/wp-content/plugins/thrive-leads/tcb/inc/functions.php on line 2616
Hi Sarita, thanks for letting me know! I got that error too when I tried to click the link just now. I’ll let Kim’s team know, although you may want to reach out to Kim via http://pawsandpossibilities.com!
Hi Claire! Thanks for the reply! I’m in and we (myself and my mutt Finegan) are working through the course already! Thanks for a great podcast! FYI found you through Being Boss ;-).
Hello Sarita!
There was a hiccup during an update of a plugin, but, this has been corrected and you can access the page no problem now. Thank you for the alert!
Warmly,
Lysa
Hi Lysa! I got into and purchased the course this morning no problem! Finegan and I are already working through Module 1. Thanks for the reply.
