Presented by Veronica Boutelle

CEUs: PPAB, 1 CCPDT, 1 IAABC, 1

If you’ve already grown beyond a one-trainer band, or have reached the point where you just can’t do it all yourself anymore, you’ll want to take advantage of this web seminar. From finding and hiring the right people to training and reviews, Veronica Boutelle of dog*tec shares practical, hands-on tips for building a productive team culture for your business. She’ll discuss how to know when it’s time to hire, how to find the right people for the job, the hiring process itself, and whether you should bring on independent contractors or employees.

Once you’ve got help, you want to get the most from your growing business. So Veronica looks at strategies for creating a positive staff culture (or fixing one that’s gotten off on the wrong foot), including staff training do’s and don’ts, reviews that actually work, and ways to reduce chaos-inducing turnover. Whether you’re ready for some help, or would like to get more from the help you already have, don’t miss this web seminar.

Learning Objectives

Understand the process for finding and hiring strong employees
Understand the difference between independent contractors and employees, and the legal and tax implications of each
Understand the importance of, and techniques behind, effective staff training and review processes for building a strong, positive staff culture

About The Presenter

Veronica is the founder of dog*tec, the dog pro industry’s leading business consultancy, through which she has been helping dog trainers help dogs since 2003. She is the author of How to Run a Dog Business: Putting Your Career Where Your Heart Is and the co-author of Minding Your Dog Business: A Practical Guide to Business Success for Dog Professionals, and writes on business topics for many dog training industry journals. Veronica is a sought-after speaker at conferences and dog training schools across the country and internationally. She has recently spoken to positive reinforcement trainers at conferences and seminars in countries as diverse as Chile, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, and the UK.

As former Director of Behavior & Training at the San Francisco SPCA, and as a dog training business owner before that, Veronica understands what it means to be a dog trainer first hand—the daily worries about everything from client compliance to financial security, the unique challenges of a “flexible” schedule that requires evenings and weekends, and the struggle to balance clients and training with the minutiae of running a business—and to balance all of that with a rich non-work life. Her background as a trainer, her business expertise, and her work as an educator put Veronica in a unique position to help professional dog trainers learn to become as skilled in business as they are as trainers—and that means more dogs’ lives touched by positive training.

“Our job is to teach people to train their dogs.” It sounds so logical. After all, it’s the clients who live with the dogs, and they need to know what to do when the trainer leaves. But the logic of this notion ignores critical realities: Most dog owners don’t want to become amateur trainers—they want to hire someone to fix a problem for them. And most dog owners don’t have the mechanical skills, the time, or the drive to follow through with the process of learning and applying dog training exercises to achieve their goals. (Is it really reasonable to expect we can teach clients to train their dogs and solve behavior problems in a handful of one-hour sessions?) Given these limitations, the logic of teaching owners to train their own dogs crumbles.

The coaching approach lies at the heart of the many frustrations and limitations trainers face—unfinished cases, poor compliance and income, and twinges of doubt that all contribute to feelings of burnout and lack of efficacy. In this web seminar Veronica Boutelle of dog*tec explores the limitations of coaching and presents win-win-win R+ alternatives for trainers, dog owners, and the dogs themselves.

Learning Objectives

Understanding why the coaching model falls short of trainer and client goals
Understand how to implement alternative ways of offering R+ training services with regards to packaging, pricing, and policies
Understand how to work with clients via alternate service models to more quickly impact the bond between owner and dog

As professional dog trainers we are always aiming for a high level of expertise. Our working days consist of keeping up to date with the latest and most dog-friendly training equipment and learning how to run a successful business. Often in the midst of being busy we forget the most important part of the equation - our client!

Unless we do the hand on dog training ourselves then we are training dogs via their owners, our client. Clients aren't dog trainers and they don't have the ambition to become dog trainers, and yet have the responsibility to train their dogs in between classes! So, shouldn't we also focus on setting them up for success?

Learning Objectives

Understand motivation and how clients can lose it
Become aware of difficulties clients experience during and in between classes (poor coordination, being unclear with cues, feeling overwhelmed, lacking support, etc.)
Acquire some skills for setting clients up for success - how to empower the client; how to help them overcome coordination issues; how to ensure they retain the information given during class; and more.

Training nights and weekends while working your “real job” Monday through Friday? A large percentage of highly skilled trainers continue to work part- or full-time jobs while training nights and weekends, contributing to trainer burnout and limiting the number of dogs’ and owners’ lives they can impact. It’s a pervasive belief in the our industry that trainers “can’t make real money” training full time. Fortunately this is simply not true; it really is possible to make a living doing what you love.

In this web seminar Veronica Boutelle of dog*tec will show you how to make your part-time or hobby business your full-time career. Learn how to assess the feasibility of going full time, grow your business into a reliable source of income, and create and implement a personalized transition plan for your move to full-time professional dog trainer.

Learning Objectives

Learn how to assess the feasibility of their business fully supporting them, and ways to organize their services to increase revenue potential
Learn how to create and implement a transition plan to move from part to full time dog training
Learn basic marketing principles to support their transition and the continued growth of their business

Her background as a trainer, her business expertise, and her work as an educator put Veronica in a unique position to help professional dog trainers learn to become as skilled in business as they are as trainers—and that means more dogs’ lives touched by positive training.

Clearly technology can make our lives easier. It can also help us to train better - to reflect on our training mechanics to achieve better results. The effective use of technology can also help us to reflect on our training sessions and assist us in spotting harmful patterns that can slow down our progress.

Technology can also help clients to reflect on their training habits and to set goals in terms of their training sessions. It allows them to create clear and measured goals. The biggest asset of the cell phone in one's pocket is that it offers an unbiased and numerical reflection of what did actually happen and not what we thought we did. Best of all, it's free.

Learning Objectives

Learn how to use technology to improve your overall training effectiveness.
Understanding how your core mechanics of training can be improved by allowing technology to monitor and take over the record keeping role.
See the importance of using technology so your clients can see and better reflect on their growth as their dog's teachers.

Presented by Veronica Boutelle of dog*tec

CEUs: PPAB 1, CCPDT 1, IAABC 1

Either you’ve been thinking about teaching classes but you’re a little nervous, or you’ve been teaching classes quite a while and you enjoy it. Your students love you and your evaluations are great. But there’s still a challenge or two you’d like to face down. Maybe it’s a classroom management quandary—How to handle the students who insist on talking all through class, including while you’re instructing. Or the ones who seem to do their own thing no matter what instructions you give, or how many times you give them. Or the parents who aren’t able to manage their children while training their dog, or even the students who aren’t able to manage their dogs. Maybe you want a way to more actively engage students in your classes—to get more discussion flowing, or see them start to work proactively with their dogs and make needed training adjustments without waiting for your feedback. Maybe it’s finding easier, smoother ways to handle the widely varied skill and experience levels of your human and canine students. With over 20 years of experience teaching dog training classes, training trainers and teachers, and developing curriculum and instructional strategies, Veronica will help you develop new approaches to tackle your teaching challenges and set your students up for success.

Learning Objectives:

Understand and be able to use curriculum and instructional strategies that work for learners at all levels simultaneously
Understand and be able to use various classroom management strategies to keep students focused and on task
Understand and be able to use scaffolding, an instructional strategy designed to teach independent decision making for real-life training success
Understand the relationship between curriculum choices and classroom management issues

Are you tired of starting classes with 6 students and finishing with 3? Of students checking training off their to-do lists after puppy or basic manners classes, never to return? Of dealing with scheduling issues and student make-up hassles? Of scrambling around like the proverbial chicken to provide mini-lessons to students at different experience and skill levels? Of managing reactive dogs, hyper kids, and unfocused adult students? The stress of enrollment and income numbers that fluctuate throughout the year?

Then you’ll want to join us for this web seminar with Veronica Boutelle.

Get these 4 points right, and everyone wins: Students learn the knowledge and skills they need to succeed outside of your classroom in their real lives. Dogs learn the behaviors their people desire, and benefit from greater understanding and empathy, too. And you get consistently full classes and a steady income, plus the satisfaction of watching your students and their dogs hit new heights.

In her previous career as the Director of Operations of a small business in the Pet Care Industry, she developed a fondness for small, local businesses and is a firm believer in supporting mom and pop shops whenever possible. Social Media exploded onto the scene while in that career, and she was HOOKED. Tracey started attending seminars and training sessions to learn all she could to help that small business have a relevant voice in the social media conversation. Her love of all things social and passion for supporting small business made for a very easy choice to transition into the world of social media marketing full time from my past career.

When she's not playing on the internet or presenting to small business owners, you can find her reading voraciously on my Kindle; rooting for the San Jose Sharks; singing along to the radio; traveling to exotic destinations; catching the latest comic book movie with copious amounts of movie theater popcorn; eating lots and lots of cheese; and pretending to know more about wine than whether one is white or red.
