  • This is why you have ears!

    One of the best ways to learn is to listen to smart and opinionated people talking openly and honestly about how they have achieved their successes, and the failures along the way. That’s what Jo and Vicky are doing in this amazing podcast. I have learned so much about the dog industry and business in general from this podcast. Every time I listen I feel more and more inspired! Give this a listen, you won’t regret it.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Invisible to InDemand: Human-Centred Marketing for Force Free Trainers with Josh Boutelle
Q: What strategies do you recommend to new dog trainers who want to start seeing traction in visibility before their website is perfect?
Start with simple web presence, build Google reviews, and focus on local referrals and partnerships; social media is a longer game, while a structured outreach and relationship-building approach yields quicker credibility and leads.
From Invisible to InDemand: Human-Centred Marketing for Force Free Trainers with Josh Boutelle
Q: What kind of thing are you looking for when you're doing that website build—tech side or messaging and content?
The emphasis is on messaging over flashy design; a well-written, relatable message that reflects the trainer's understanding of the owners' problems is more critical than visuals, with design following once messaging is solid.
