It’s no surprise to anyone these days when I say there is a huge pandemic puppy boom that is now turning into a separation anxiety catastrophe.
Business is going really well for trainers right now… but how much are you leaving on the table?
And how long will this last?
Let’s chat about that for a minute.
If you haven’t been proactive and intentional about the structure of your business, you’re likely close to burning out and overwhelmed by the demand right now.
If you haven’t taken the time to raise your prices lately, you could be missing out on thousands of dollars of income.
And since I’m also into personal finance, I’ll take that a step further…
If you’re not earning the extra $3000 a month you could (and should) be right now, you’re missing out on a LOT of savings…
If you invest $3,000 per month over the course of 30 years, you’d end up with $3,423,425.07 (at a 7% interest rate).
I say this because when you build a six-figure business, you have the ability to invest and save.
Even just $1000 a month turns into $1,141,141.69 over 30 years.
It demonstrates the return of investing in YOURSELF and your business. When you empower yourself to not only give yourself permission to have a sustainable schedule but also charge more, you are impacting the rest of your life. (Not to mention – this is SO important for women.)
An investment in yourself now – while you have some time – could be the move that sets you up for life.

How would that impact your life?
Would you donate more to your favorite causes?
Create a legacy that your family could live off of forever?
Would you create a non-profit to help those in need but can’t afford training services?
It all starts with giving yourself permission to want more and believing you CAN have more.
Now let’s talk about how long we think this will last? And does it matter?
The demand for dog training has never been so high.
This is, unfortunately, a good problem for us.
But it could also mean the end of the road for a lot of great trainers if you don’t take care of yourself.
Burnout is REAL in this industry. Compassion fatigue is hitting most of us HARD right now.
You’re running around all over town barely making it on time to your appointments.
People are calling you for help at all hours of the day.
There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done and things are falling through the cracks.
Your clients are not getting the best experience because you’re stretched so thin.
What weighs heavily on your mind is that this demand might stall – that it is just a fluke.
So you should be looking at what you can do to maintain this new growth but instead, you’re burnt out and exhausted every day with no brain space to think things through.
You haven’t made time to be CEO, but you’re stuck in dog trainer mode.
Now is the time that you have to figure out how to capitalize and sustain this new growth for years to come.
This is what I teach my students.
How to create a schedule that fulfills them personally and professionally while hitting consistent 6K- 8K+ months.
That allows time for FUN and being the CEO AND being the dog trainer.
How to create a schedule that allows time for hikes with your dog or roller derby. (I have fun clients!)
Because after all, you started this business to make your own schedule.
To help dogs.
To help people connect with their dogs.
To be your own boss.
And to make a better living than you could be working for someone else.
Invest in yourself and your business while things are going well. Don’t wait for things to slow down before you panic buy something that may or may not help.
