Idea of the Week:
Erin Gorrie used to be a police officer.
After 15 years on the job, trauma and PTSD forced her to step away. She lost her sense of purpose until she stumbled into something no one saw coming: puppy yoga.
Yes, puppy yoga.
At first, it wasn’t a business idea. It was therapy. The combination of yoga’s calm and the joy of puppies helped her heal in ways traditional methods couldn’t.
And when she shared it with others, she realized people weren’t just interested—they needed it too.
So Erin started small. She rented spaces, partnered with local rescues and breeders, and invited people to roll out a yoga mat alongside a litter of pups.
Then came social media. Erin began posting short clips of classes: the laughter, the tears, the unfiltered joy of people holding puppies mid pose. The internet ate it up.
Her videos have now been viewed over 450 million times across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
The demand turned into a full on business. She’s building satellite studios, planning digital classes, and expanding the brand beyond Muskoka.
It became a million USD business within a year. CRAZY.
Do you think a puppy yoga or a cat therapy session will work in your local area?

That’s your alley dispatch for the week. Next one drops soon.
