Building a Canine Brand: How Aubrey and Johnny Created TikTok Fame

Having a dog is a joyful, sometimes chaotic, adventure and for Aubrey and Johnny, it became the foundation for a thriving TikTok presence. The Fresh Patch Podcast sat down with this popular duo to talk about dog training, potty struggles, and how they turned everyday moments with their Golden Retriever, Aubrey, into viral content that captures hearts.

Meet the Pet Behind the Page

Aubrey, known online as Pawbrey, has been with Johnny and his girlfriend since she was a puppy. “She was a really bad puppy at first,” Johnny laughs. “She would bite all the time, even leaving scars sometimes. It took a lot of patience, but we learned how to handle her energy.”

Johnny’s background in marketing helped him spot an opportunity. Initially, he included Aubrey in ads for his jewelry brand, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. “The first viral video was just a simple moment, and it showed us the formula,” Johnny explains. “From there, it became fun to share her unique personality, and people loved it.”

Potty Training Challenges

One of the biggest hurdles for Aubrey was potty training. She had grown used to sand at Johnny’s girlfriend’s parents’ house, which didn’t translate well when they moved into their apartment. “We tried turf-style potty pads at first, and honestly, they were awful,” Johnny says. “They smell quickly, and cleaning them in an apartment is a nightmare. That’s when we switched to Fresh Patch, and it changed everything.”

Fresh Patch, a real grass solution delivered to your door, offers convenience and hygiene without the hassle of turf or pee pads. Johnny emphasizes that even households with yards can benefit: it saves lawns from damage and provides dogs with a designated potty area. “It’s like giving them freedom, just like humans,” he notes. “No one wants to hold it all day, and dogs shouldn’t have to either. Fresh Patch helps with both health and comfort.”

Life at Home with Aubrey

Aubrey’s personality shines not just online but also at home. Johnny describes her as playful, quirky, and occasionally mischievous. From burrowing into blankets to stealing clothes for a playful chase, she keeps her humans on their toes. “She doesn’t follow every command unless there’s something in it for her,” Johnny admits. “But her antics are part of her charm, and they show through in our videos.”

The couple has also organized in-person events, including a dog meetup in their apartment building that drew over 2,000 RSVPs. “Seeing people and dogs in person is incredible,” Johnny says. “Online views are great, but the real-life connection makes all the effort worth it.”

Why Fresh Patch Works

Fresh Patch is especially valuable for apartment dwellers or households with multiple dogs. Real grass provides a natural surface that dogs instinctively prefer, making potty training easier and reducing stress. Johnny emphasizes that it’s not about convenience for humans, it’s about creating a better environment for pets. “The dogs who use Fresh Patch are often in homes where owners go above and beyond to care for them,” he explains. “It’s about their well-being, not cutting corners.”

From viral TikTok moments to practical potty training, Aubrey and Johnny’s story shows how real grass and attentive care can make life smoother for busy pet parents. Fresh Patch is more than a product, it’s a tool for supporting your dog’s happiness and health while keeping your home clean and stress-free.

Whether you’re a content creator, a first-time dog parent, or managing multiple pets in a small space, Fresh Patch offers a solution that works for everyone. As Johnny says, “If you live in an apartment or even just want to save your lawn, Fresh Patch is a must-have. It’s simple, clean, and the dogs love it.”
