Publisher's summary
Are you a dog trainer feeling overwhelmed by constant work or frustrated with unenthusiastic clients? This book offers solutions.
Hi, I'm Ted Efthymiadis, and in this audiobook, I'll share a decade's worth of hard-earned lessons. While my previous book focused on starting a dog training business, this one delves into the nuances I learned through trial and error. It's about maximizing efficiency, increasing income, and ultimately, making a greater impact on dogs and their owners. Notably, this book doesn't offer dog training tips; instead, it's tailored for trainers of any method seeking to enhance their business.
This book isn't for trainers without client selection autonomy or those solely focused on basic obedience classes. It's designed for business-owning trainers who primarily work one-on-one with clients and dogs.
Upon purchasing, you'll gain access to a complimentary video training course for dog trainers, available on my website—details included!
Running a dog training business demands proficiency in various areas, and the chapter titles below offer insight into what this book covers:
-Cultivating enduring client relationships
-Distinguishing between good and bad clients
-Preemptively filtering out problematic clients
-Identifying warning signs in clients
-Establishing effective client boundaries
-Knowing when to part ways with difficult clients
-Enhancing client communication strategies
-Four crucial lessons for new trainers
-Understanding the human side of dog rescues
-Assessing client readiness for change
-Resolving conflicts with clients
-Evaluating the pros and cons of board-and-train programs
-Deciding on staff necessity
-Navigating staff recruitment and termination
Discover how I transitioned from a 70-hour workweek to just 30 hours by streamlining my business. Click "ADD TO CART" and embark on your journey today.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

The only horse to ever grace the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated in the same week, he also still holds the record for the fastest times in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He was also the only non-human chosen as one of ESPN's "50 Greatest Athletes of the Century".

From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

Many horse trainers, even those who espouse the so-called natural horsemanship approach, take the position that horses who fail to obey a human's request are doing so as much out of perversity as ignorance. That's not Mark Rashid's view. In his words, "If we understand that horses can't separate the way they feel from the way they act, then we can start to see that unwanted behavior isn't bad behavior at all. More times than not, it's just the horse expressing the way he feels at that particular moment in time....
