Does a stable, steady income feel like a pipe dream?

It’s not. But it does require getting comfortable with selling…

Wait! Don’t scroll on by!

We know most dog pros hate the very idea of selling.

Making new programmes might be fun. But selling them might feel like a horrible hurdle you can’t get over.

And that’s why inside Connect: Pro Mastery there are SIX modules to help you with every aspect of this:

🔥Business Strategy 101
🔥Designing effective programmes
🔥Successful launching & sales
🔥Business systems, tools & techniques
🔥Hustle plans for quick returns
🔥Pricing calculator (practical session)

Income isn’t going to magically flow in unless you start focusing on the business side of things.

Hustle plans though? 👀

They can give you a kick start while you work on your longer term plans.

So why not take a gamble on yourself, dive in, and hatch a hustle plan so you can get some income in…

Did you know 70–90% of businesses fail in their first five years?

We don’t want that for you…

All the learning you do to advance your abilities to change lives matters.

If you’re like most compassionate professionals we know, you invest every spare penny (or dime) you can scrape together to invest in your canine skills…

⚠️ But are you neglecting the critical development zones that feel stretchy?!

What we mean by that is….

Do you leave the business stuff and the mindset stuff on your to-do list - forever getting bumped for the more fun and comfortable learning about dogs?

We understand why this happens. But we can’t ignore it. 🙈🙉🙊

Because we want to live in a world where compassionate and skilled dog pros succeed in business and in life….

We want you to not just know your stuff but to have:
👥 the clients to share it with
💶 the income that rewards your effort
🔋the bandwidth left to take care of yourself.

And that’s why there are three critical pillars to Connect: Professional Mastery 👇
🐾 Heart-Centred Canine
📈 Heart-based Business
🧘🏻‍♀️ Heart-Led Human

Because if you ignore the business stuff and the human stuff, all the money, time, and effort you’ve spent on dog stuff won’t ever reach the people it needs to….

And that’s why we have a VERY SPECIAL CONNECT BIRTHDAY OFFER launching tomorrow….

Set ALL the alarms - you will not want to miss this. 👀

Dogs aren’t just training projects. They’re whole beings with emotional, physical, mental and social needs.

That’s why one of the pillars of our work at HeartDog is Heart-centred Canine: supporting dogs in ways that truly honour their wellbeing.

Because when we get this right, everything else flows more easily: behaviour, relationships, even the “tricky” moments.

👉 What does “heart-centred” mean to you when you think about your work with dogs?

You'll know by now that we are a huge fan of hybrid learning and that providing resources for clients is a hugely beneficial endeavour whether you are working with them in person or online.

Our all time favourite platform for this is New Zenler simply because it offers an extensive feature set, easy to use interface and is a pricing point that makes it a no brainer too.

However only 3 days remain before New Zenler close their founding member offer and put up their prices for new customers (but anyone who secures founding member pricing will have that locked in for life!)

We wanted to remind you of the incredible package of bonuses we give anyone who uses our affiliate link to enrol in the New Zenler platform.

We 100% believe it's the best platform out there are the moment in terms of its usability and extensive feature set and the current pricing point of $54 per month make it an absolute steal. This monthly rate gets locked in for life from the moment you sign up so no matter what the monthly fees increase to for future members you will always be locked in at the founding member price if you jump in before September the 1st 2025.

ACEing Reactivity: Helping you and your dog feel safe, calm, and connected

Reactivity is often seen as a “problem behaviour” - the barking, the lunging, the pulling - but it is simply a dog expressing big feelings about the situation. In ACE (Animal Centred Education), we look beneath the surface to what the dog is experiencing.

Through gentle, practical techniques like ACE Free Work, combined with mindful observation, we can help dogs reset, rebalance, and build the confidence they need to feel safer in the world.

📅 Four weeks live online
Starts: Wed 10 September 2025, 6pm UK time

Together we’ll explore:
✨ How to use Free Work to support your dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing
✨ Ways to reduce overwhelm and give your dog more choice and agency
✨ Simple strategies that fit into everyday life - from walks to rest time
✨ Skills that help you see what your dog needs before reactivity takes hold
✨ Gentle techniques to build resilience, confidence, and connection - for you both.

What you’ll receive:
- Weekly live Zoom teaching sessions with space for reflection and discussion
- Practical resources and guides for using Free Work and ACE techniques
- A downloadable observation journal to track and build on your learning
- Feedback on your ACE activities in a private community
- A follow-up group Q&A one month later, so you can check in and refine your practice

💡 This workshop is aimed at guardians working with their own dogs but all are welcome - it is suitable for anyone who wants to help the dogs in their care feel calmer and more understood. ACE credits will be available.

Course fee: £150

Led by Janet Finlay, ACE Instructor since 2020, member of the UK Association of Pet Dog Trainers (mAPDT 01046), Family Dog Mediator and experienced coach for humans living with reactivity. She is the author of the book “Your End of the Lead”.

If you’d like to move beyond “managing behaviour” and give your dog tools to feel safer and more balanced, this programme is for you. Link to find out more in the comments.

You spot it before it happens.

That subtle shift in your dog’s posture, the way their eyes fix just a little too hard on something up ahead.

And there it is - the bark, the lunge, the sudden tightening of the lead.

It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong. It’s that your dog’s big feelings - and yours - are still right there under the surface.

That’s why I created ACEing Reactivity - a four-week live online programme starting 10 September to help you and your dog feel safer, calmer, and more connected.

Places are limited. The last time I ran this was 2021 - and there’s no set date for the next one.
