From Professional Trainer to Business Owner
Being a good dog trainer and operating a successful dog training business are two very different things.
Over more than three decades in the industry, I’ve learned that technical training ability is only one part of building a profitable, sustainable company. Marketing, sales, pricing, customer service, recruiting, and day-to-day operations are equally important.
I help aspiring business owners develop practical plans for launching dog training companies, drawing on my experience building and operating businesses in multiple markets.

Developing a business model, identifying your target market, establishing services, and planning for startup expenses.
Programs & Pricing
Creating training programs that meet client needs while generating sufficient revenue to support a sustainable business.

Experience That Goes Beyond Theory
My consulting approach comes from firsthand experience creating, operating, and expanding dog training businesses. I understand the challenges of attracting the first customers, establishing reliable revenue, and developing systems that allow an owner to grow beyond personally handling every aspect of the business.
