Becoming A Pro - The Mutt Nut Academy £75.00 (USA/CAN)

So, you've decided to take the plunge and follow your dream of becoming a pro dog trainer? Are you sh*tting yourself yet? If you're not, you're lying! Believe me I was and I will share with you all my tragic stories of sessions that went horribly wrong, as well as many other ridiculous situations I found myself in, during the early stages of my business. Naturally, I am the ulimate professional now....very much joking!

I am genuinely so excited to share my experiences with you as a professional dog trainer and behaviourist, to hopefully help make the upcoming months a little less scary and give you some clarity on how to structure your business. 

This is likley to be a one time thing and therefore I don't plan leaving any stone unturned! We will start right at the beginning with how to find new clients, right the way up to dealing with tricky cases - and the owners - as well as the main problem I find with upcoming dog trainers (as well established ones) .... IMPOSTURE SYNDROME. Yeah that. 

Naturally I can assume most people attending this seminar will be well acquainted with the principles of dog training and behaviour and therefore I won't waste your time talking about Pavlov's dog's. However we will be discussing training and behaviour in more detail, particularly when we openly discuss some case studies as a group. We will focus on how we can apply the theory we all know (and love) into your client's lifestyle, which of course differs for every client. I find this is one of the biggest problems up and coming trainers have. Here are some details of what you can expect:

• Business start up - the basics 
• Marketing, branding and social media 
• Free advice - should you give it out?
• How to create a client funnel - how to ensure you find hard working clients that make you look even better 
• What sort of cases do you want to work with? 
• The sh*tting yourself phase - how to work through the first few months full time
• Work experience and CPD 
• How to approach/handle difficult cases - and keep clients progressing
• How to deal with difficult client conversations
• How to implement behaviour theory and training into the lives of everyday dog owners
• Post consult reports and follow up support - what's the best way?
• Case studies - open discussion
• Worklife balance 

Expect tonnes of insight and detail, lot's of Dad jokes and me in a spray on t-shirt... (as per usual).

I want to give you as much information as possible and truthfully can't say for certain how long the seminar will last - this will be dependent on open discussions etc - but we are probably looking at about 3-4 hours. Anything after that and you'll have had enough of me talking!

Can't wait to see you inside!
