Supporting dogs, their people and trainers to feel emotionally ‘better’
(4)

20/11/2024

If you're a Dog Professional struggling to make ends meet, working evenings or weekends, or putting the needs of everyone else before yourself (I've been guilty of all three in the past!), please ensure you join today's free workshop to help!

I'll be talking through how to bring in a steady stream of clients so that you can feel safe, financially stable and in the best possible place emotionally to be able to support your 2 and 4 legged clients.

(Hint: it's not about having a fancy website, spending lots of money on ads, or having to take on clients that you don't really want to work with. It goes much deeper and it actually much simpler than that!)

Please see all the details and register using the link in the comments and I hope to see you there!

DOG PROFESSIONALS! FREE WORKSHOP THIS WEEK

🐕 All force-free/positive reinforcement dog trainers that I know CARE.

We care about the dogs that we help and we care about the humans that we help too!

Most of us also started running our own business for more:

✅ Time to ourselves
✅ Financial freedom
✅ Time with our own dogs, family and friends

The truth is that having the knowledge, skill and empathy to work with dogs and their people, is just one part of a successful dog training business.

It’s also necessary to know how to bring in a steady stream of new clients to feed the business. Without it, the business cannot grow.

🎩🎩 It can feel completely overwhelming trying to wear all the hats in business, being responsible for client facing work, admin, training plans, session bookings, social media, accountancy, finance, website admin and the list goes on and on.....

⏰ No wonder it’s hard to find time to put the necessary strategies in place to actually grow and bring in a steady income, so that you can support your family and have a good chunk left over for fun!

That's why this event is for all force-free dog trainers or behaviourists who are ready to GROW their businesses without compromising their values.

Together we’ll cover simple, actionable strategies to learn:

🌟 How to attract that perfect client

🌟 How to build a system so that money comes in every day on auto-pilot

🌟 How to organise your business to run by itself, so you can have some much needed rest time!

This workshop runs live Wednesday 20th November at 7pm London time (GMT). It will run for approx 1.5 hours with time for Q&A and it is recorded!

Here's what some previous participants have said:

‘Hi, I joined skeptical that I’d learn much in a free webinar but you explained everything so clearly and opened doors to things I’d never even considered. Will definitely be taking the next step with you and recommending this webinar to friends. Thank you. Anne'

‘WOWOWOWOW. I have pages of notes!! This was so amazing, thank you Holly. I can’t wait to join whatever you do next.’

‘I learnt more in the last hour with you than I have in months through various youtube videos and webinars. How refreshing to attend a free event that actually teaches you something. Thank you!’

Sound good?

Reminder: Free Workshop Today!

We all get stressed sometimes. Humans get stressed and dogs get stressed.

However, if you share your life with a dog that has big emotions a lot of the time, it can be hard. For them and for you.

Chances are, you might also feel big emotions and potentially have big internal or external reactions too.

Put simply, we can become as triggered as our dogs.

If this is your experience, I'd love to share some simple techniques to help both ends of the lead and this is what I'll be covering in my upcoming free workshop today: "Are you as triggered as your dog?"

Hey Community!

I have this friend Ross. He's one of my nearest and dearest.

We also act like 14 year olds whenever we're in each other's company. He becomes a giggler and so do I.

You can guarantee something funny will happen out in public and WE CANNOT LOOK AT EACH OTHER or we will explode with laughter.

So many things remind us of past moments of hilarity and we just set each other off in the very best way.

Put simply, he triggers me and I trigger him. We trigger hysteria 😂

I also know that sometimes this two way trigger system happens between people and their dogs.

Except in this case it can be more of a negative trigger system.
Chances are, if you have an environmentally sensitive dog that has big emotions and big reactions, you might also feel big emotions and potentially have big internal or external reactions to these situations too.

We can become as triggered as our dogs.

If this is your experience, I'd love to share some simple techniques to help both ends of the lead and this is what I'll be covering in my upcoming free workshop: "Are you as triggered as your dog?"

It's for everyone who would like a little support for both ends of the lead and we are going into depth with practical and emotional ways to support.

It runs live tomorrow (24th October) with a short replay available

Speak soon,
Holly

Are you as triggered as your dog?

Free Workshop: Thursday 24th October at 8pm BST (London)

🐕 When dogs "react" to things in their environment, they are telling us they don't feel emotionally safe 😨

Lots of dogs bark and lunge towards their trigger because they are fearful. Others do so because they are frustrated or excited.
Regardless of the initial emotion, however, it almost always ends in overwhelm. 😨

Our dogs can’t control these overwhelming emotions and the barking and lunging is their way of coping with those difficult feelings.

The thing is, that we often end up as triggered as our dogs!
We start obsessively scanning the environment when out on a walk, feel the familiar rush of anxiety when we spot our dogs’ trigger off in the distance, or avoid certain places and activities altogether.

Put simply, the world accessible to you and your dog gets smaller.

That's why this event is for parents of reactive dogs, but also for reactive dog parents - for those of us who also experience big emotions in relation to our dogs’ reactivity.

🌟 In this free workshop we'll look at simple, actionable things to help your wonderful dog to feel better around their trigger(s)
🌟 We'll also look at the human end of the lead, so that you feel emotionally supported as well
🌟 Only kind methods and techniques

It will run for approx 1.5 hours with time for Q&A and it is recorded!

Please register using the link in the comments (current RDSC members, you are welcome to join, however, you already have all this info in your programme, so I would focus there)

I have one opening for 1:1 dog trainer business coaching for a November/December 2024 start and one for a December/January start.

Receiving coaching was one of the best things I ever did for my business, but I remember feeling nervous before reaching out to a coach. My business was small and I worried if I'd be the right type of client for her.

I support people with all different types of businesses at all different levels. It doesn't matter what level you are currently at and it also doesn't matter what your goals are, so long as you have them and are committed to working towards them!

Coaching with me is right for you if:

- You have big impact goals for your business (you want to really help dogs and their people) but you don't yet have a reliable system for reaching clients or bringing in enough clients just yet

- You struggle with overwhelm, decision paralysis, or focus and find it hard to stick to a certain path to help you reach that goal

- You are fully committed to doing the work (with my support), to be honest when things feel difficult so we can work through it together and to believe in yourself to get to where you want to be ( I can give you all the strategy and support in the world, but if you don't do the work to believe in yourself it won't make a difference)

- ...and most importantly, you want to grow a business rooted in ethical practice and support, not just for your dog clients, but for your human ones as well!

I only work with positive reinforcement based trainers and businesses.

If you would like to have an obligation and pressure free conversation to see if we're a good fir, please send me a private message or email us with the word "coaching" to [email protected] (and then keep checking that spam folder in case our reply ends up there!)

My question for you in this episode of the podcast, is "are you taking "actual" breaks in your working day?" This is something that we discussed as part of a training session in The Dog Pro Support Circle this week.

Learn how to take PROPER breaks in this episode!

Trigger Warning: This post mentions su***de and su***de awareness.

September is World Su***de Awareness Month.

This is such an important topic to raise awareness for, because there is STILL a stigma around poor mental wellbeing or mental health.

Su***de is one of those topics that many people are scared to talk about, whether you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, or someone is telling you that they are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings.

The world has thankfully moved on in being able to discuss things like depression or anxiety more openly. However, sadly, there are MANY mental health related topics that are still very much taboo. Su***de is one of them.

In talking about it, I hope that fewer people feel alone with these feelings, because it truly can be an experience ANY of us can go through, plus what better way than to put a doggie spin on things!

Please listen to Letters From Your Dog on any major podcast platform or directly here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1793764/15806528

My dog got sick and I got some perspective

It's no secret that most of us live busy, rushed lives.

Often people want hacks, quick tips, things to get them to where they want to be, faster!

Unfortunately, it's often the sad or bad things that give us the dose of perspective that we really need.

I had this experience just a couple of weeks ago.
I'd been wanting to do a photo shoot with my older dog Riggs for probably 2+ years.

I really wanted some lovely pics of me and him.

Except my self-consciousness when it comes to how I look - how I wish I was more 'attractive', thinner etc etc stopped me.

Then as lots of you know, Riggs was suddenly really unwell. I nearly lost him and boy did that give me a perspective shift.

Who cares if I'm a few stone heavier than I'd like to be? If I'd lost him and been left with no pictures of us together I would have been devastated.

Riggs is getting better and I booked the damn photo shoot.
Those we love and the connection we have with them is always the most important thing.

If you'd like to keep striving for a better connection with your dog, please join me for “Connect!”, starting this coming wednesday 25th September

All the details and free registration in the comments!

Hope to see you there,

Holly

Hi Everyone!

A brand new event that I'm really excited about is starting on Wednesday 25th September!

I personally don't think we can ever stop striving for a better connection with our dogs.

When it comes to connecting with my dogs, for me it means a few things:

1.) I want my dogs to experience me as a safe space. So if there is something frightening or worrying them (like a loud, noise, a vet visit, or another dog) I want them to feel like they can seek reassurance from me.

2.) I want to be able to get their attention in an urgent or emergency situation, so I can keep them safe physically too. That's where teaching a great recall comes in, for example.

3.) I also just want us to be able to enjoy each others company! We’ve all worked with, or lived with someone we didn’t get along with, and that’s not the relationship I want with my dogs!

This event will be all about strengthening the connection that we have with our dogs, for our best and most harmonious lives together.

It runs live 25th-27th September (with a replay)
