This is a three-part series addressing the business of training dogs, presented by Veronica Boutelle of dogTEC. Each section will last for 90 minutes and can be taken individually. This course is designed to be appropriate for both new business owners and those who have an existing business. Section one is the “The Legalities & Logistics, or The Dry but Necessary.” Section two is “’Build It & They Will Come:’ Marketing (It Can Be Easier & Cheaper Than You Think!).” Section three is “Professional Burnout: Tips to Keep You Doing What You Love.” Each section is described in detail under its individual heading.
This course will cover the logistical issues of starting and running a business. You will learn how to limit your liability through contracts, insurance and limited liability companies. Another tedious but necessary chore is the paperwork required to open and run a business; this course teaches you what is necessary and what is optional and how to do it with the least amount of pain! Finally, you’ll learn how to take care of all that money you’ll be raking in – who said dog trainers can’t take vacations!
