Why do professional dog trainers often feel so overwhelmed? Well for starters, pro trainers do more than just train dogs! As small business owners, dog trainers also spend time managing accounts and finances, communicating with clients, designing graphics and marketing their business, creating policies and procedures, keeping and maintaining client records, building and updating websites, and creating course content and lesson plans - to name a few! Is there a part of your business that leaves you feeling overwhelmed?
