How to Run a Dog Business: Putting Your Career Where Your Heart Is

Very blunt advice that most dog trainer needs, be confident about your services, awesome book to read, to get more insight and eye opening

A great resource for anyone looking to get into the dog business. There's a lot of useful info in this book and a LOT of excellent resources in th back, too. It's geared more towards a training business and less towards walking or daycare, but walkers could still find a lot of the business jargon useful.

I am a veterinarian and a dog trainer. I'm currently looking into the idea of setting up a facility that combines doggie daycare, grooming, training etc. So when I bought the book I was somehow expecting practical tips on floor material and ideal facility setup. But what I got was far more valuable. For example tips on how to avoid professional burnout, describing all those situations I've experienced myself and have almost made me give up on the dog business... but now I have lots of wonderful tips to help me get through it properly and help me enjoy this line of work. I haven't finished the book but so far it is so inspiring, I really recommend it to anyone who is in the dog business, or is about to start.

This book is a great resource for someone just starting out. It's an easy read and really makes you think about not just what you want but about the needs of the client as well. Not only is it a great resource but it also contains many more in the back to help further your business along. I know I will read this over and over again for many years to come.

Great resource especially for those starting out who have no idea where to begin. Also a good source to reference once the business is going to make it better! So much info in one easy reference.

I'm currently reading the book titled How to Run a Dog Business, etc. As an aspiring dog trainer, I thought it would give me a bit more detail, but so far it is helpful, but not as extensive or comprehesive as I hoped.

This book provides a good overview of all facets of the dog business. There are so many options and this book touches on many of them. Thus the reader is given enough informtion to make educated decisions regarding the direction in which to go.

The text is written in a way that is understandable. I felt that it contains important information for those who may be interested in starting up a dog-related business, without going into so much detail as to overwhelm the reader. I would certainly recommend it to others!
