Force-Free Dog Trainers Deserve Better Pay, More Enquiries, And Less Guilt
A 2 day live business event focused on pricing, marketing, and sales for force free trainers who love what they do and want to earn well without feeling bad about it
You Turned Your Passion Into An Income. And Accidentally Became A Business Owner.
You didn't set out to run a business. You became a dog trainer because you love dogs. Because you wanted to help.
So you got qualified, learned the science, and became exceptional at what you do. Then one day, you had your first paying client. Then another. Then a few more.
And suddenly? You were a business owner.
Freedom, right? Time with your dogs. Making your own schedule. Being your own boss. That's what being a business owner is supposed to look like.
Except the reality looks nothing like that.
The reality is working 60-hour weeks, answering WhatsApp messages at 10pm, checking your bank account before buying anything, worrying about slow months, and saying yes to every client because you can't afford to say no. The reality is being fully booked and still not making enough money. The reality is lying awake wondering if you're doing it wrong, if other trainers think you're shit, if you should just give up and get a "real job."
That's not freedom. That's just stress with a different postcode.
But here's the problem: nobody taught you how to run a business.
You spent years learning about canine behaviour, learning theory, body language, reactivity, separation anxiety - all of it.
But nobody taught you how to price your services, how to have a sales conversation, how to market yourself, how to handle your finances, how to structure your offers, how to say no to nightmare clients, or how to build systems that don't rely on you remembering everything.
You were trained to be a dog trainer. Not a business owner.
This is THE event that will change that for you.
