A bit about me…
I’m Gretta Ford - a business strategist and consultant for self-employed ethical dog trainers and animal behaviourists.
As an ABTC registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and Dog Training Instructor, with multiple businesses under my belt, I’m on a mission to support other ethical, self-employed dog trainer and animal behaviourists to have success in their businesses (whatever ‘success’ means for them!).
In addition to my experience in the animal training/ behaviour industry, I’ve enjoyed a career in teaching/ school leadership and have varied expertise in sales and marketing, including gaining a digital marketing certification from Google.
My days are fuelled by copious cups of tea, sneaky slices of cake and the foot-warming powers of a working cocker who never leaves my side.

Working with Gretta is brilliant. Knowing this sector so well, she can make really specific suggestions. She’s able to see things very clearly, in terms of identifying what's important and her advice is always spot on!
