More and more people are thinking about starting a business from home. Now is the perfect time to do it with online sales increasing around the world.
The Diva Dog Bakery™ – How to Start a Dog Treat Business course teaches students how to start a homemade dog treat bakery to sell treats in person or online.
This side hustle is for people of all ages and backgrounds and can bring in $500 – $1,000+ per month. (It can also be scaled up to a full-time business if desired!)
This course is perfect for dog lovers and those who would like to set up their own business from home.
The Course Founder
The course is based on Kristin Larsen’s personal experience as the founder of Diva Dog Bakery™, a boutique dog treat bakery that she started while in college.
After she was laid off from her 9-5 during the Great Recession, she quickly scaled her bakery to a full-time business, selling treats both in-person (at farmers markets, craft fairs and neighbourhood meetups) and online (via Etsy).
She found herself raking in hundreds of dollars at in-person events on Saturdays and consistently selling her treats every day through her Etsy shop. Her bakery was picked up by print magazines and online press, and she even was invited by the Emmy’s to gift her dog treats in the swag bags!
No Experience Needed
You don’t need any baking experience to start this course. Kristin shares dog treats recipes that she has personally developed and used.
You can sell your treats online, offline, or both.
You can make between $500-$1,000 a month with a dog treat bakery side hustle, or scale it into a 5-figure full-time business.

Can I Do The Diva Dog Bakery Course If I’m Not In The US?
I’ve had a few people ask me this question so I asked Kristin herself and this is her reply:
“We have several students from the UK and Europe (Canada, Philippines and Australia too).
While the business part of the program is US-based, it does provide enough information so someone outside of the US could contact their local city or town government about getting a business license and any rules on selling dog treats.
I have yet to encounter a location where someone cannot bake dog treats out of their home.
The only ingredient that can be harder to source overseas because it’s summer are yogurt chips – we had someone overseas have a hard time finding this, but we were able to reckoned tapioca icing instead. But we were able to help them get in contact with a local people bakery and it all worked out ?
Otherwise, all good. The DDB Community is great for bringing people together in different locations as well, so that’s been helpful for non-US based students.”
