Katy second grader reaches business goals one puppy treat at a time By Tracy Maness, Staff writer Last summer, 7-year-old Isaiah Hodge decided he wanted an electric unicycle. When his dad told him he’d have to pay for it himself, Isaiah launched a successful dog treat business. The Rylander Elementary second grader from Katy has since sold around $1,000 of his Puppy Dough treats at $5 per dozen. As Isaiah realized he needed $650 for the unicycle, he enrolled in Kidpreneurs, a program for children who want to start a business. He spent a couple of weeks learning and considering business ideas. His dad, Jason Hodge, suggested growing and selling watermelons, but Isaiah grabbed onto the idea of making goodies for dogs.
