STRATEGY-LED BUSINESS COACHING, COURSES & WEBSITEs for dog trainers and behaviourists
Youʼre closer than you think to having a dog training or animal behaviour business that
Oooh… so close, Pedro!
Almost… but not quite!
Does it sometimes feel like what you want from your business is just out of reach?
Like a counter-surfing spaniel with his eye on some cake (yes, I’m looking at you, Pedro!), what you want is tantalisingly close… but you’ll need more than just ‘positive vibes’ and a CPD list as long as your arm to actually get your hands - or should that be paws? - on it.
Without doubt, it’s perfectly possible to have a profitable and sustainable business as an ethical dog trainer or animal behaviourist.
But you need to know how to set yourself up to succeed (yep, that’s supposed to sound familiar!).
Luckily, you’re a lot smarter than a spaniel, which is why you’re here.
Leave the confusion and overwhelm behind!
It’s all too easy to find yourself lurching from one idea to another, drawn in by promises of ‘success’ through superficial, quick-fix hacks and cookie-cutter formulas that inevitably fail to deliver.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Instead, why not take a strategic, values-focused and evidence-based approach to your business… so that you can actually feel confident about your next steps?
Because, let’s be honest, life’s too short to spend it with crossed fingers and niggling doubts.
So, what’s the answer?

Working with Gretta was the best decision I’ve ever made for my business. If you’re an animal professional that needs a little help with your business, trust me – Gretta is who you need to speak to.
