The Dog Trainer School

Have you ever changed hairdressers?

Perhaps the one you went to didn't quite get the cut exactly how you wanted it?

Perhaps they chopped a little too much off or didnt take enough off and you did that typical polite thing we do
“Yeah perfect thanks” 🫣

Maybe you decided to try the new salon that just opened up a few doors down to your regular place just for a change or maybe you couldn't get in at your regular place as fully booked or the opening times didn't suit you anymore?

Maybe you switched to somewhere more affordable or tried someone offering you an incentive with a discount?

Does any of the above mean you didn’t like your original hair dresser? Absolutely not!

So why not think the same if your dog training client goes elsewhere?

It might not be you.
And if it’s any of the above then that's OK - we're all allowed a choice of what service provider we use!

We may just need to do something a bit different to the others and make sure you keep the majority happy, it’s business, people have choices and that isn’t such a bad thing.

Looking after others and yourself whilst training 🐾

This is such an important topic that we don't talk about enough in the industry. 🗣️

Hey there part time dog trainer, it’s ok ya know. Not everyone is full time and making their fortune.
It’s a delicate balance and if you need to supplement your training income with a job or your training supplements your jobs income then that’s ok too.
We all want the best for our clients dogs no matter what hours you do.
Yea of course anything you do in life gets easier and you get better
with more experience but it just means that experience may take a bit longer but it doesn’t mean you care less when helping dogs.
This industry can be very stressful and financial stress on top of that is no help to anyone.
If it’s your dream to be full time then take your time, it will come but only when you are ready!!!
Keep learning, keep helping and keep being kind to YOU and your clients ❤️

SUNDAY 29th OCTOBER

The awesome Kirsten Dillon is joining us for the day to run her workshop on assistance dog training for physical and mental health disability, injury and illness.

As we are all aware the need for assistance dogs has risen dramatically over the past few years and as trainers we need to know the very best way to support the needs of handler and dog in the safest possible way and also understand all the rules around access plus how to safeguard ourselves and our clients.

This workshop will cover all the above and more.
Plus Kirsten will be showing you some physical exercises using our demo dogs which will enhance your own practical training skills.

AND we provide lunch too!!
So before you miss your chance you better get booked on as only a handful of spaces remain.

Follow the website for details.
