Dog Business Coaching. Getting the most from your business.

Are you serious about starting your dog business or need to grow to another level?

Do you need a coach or mentor…

To bounce ideas off?
To point you in the right direction?
To help you focus on the most important issues?
To be your confidential sounding board?
To enable you to work ‘on’, not just ‘in’ your business?
To support and motivate you in the stressful and challenging times?
To help you to achieve your business goals?

At Dog Business School we pride ourselves not only on providing the best learning but also on working with some of the top experts in the industry. Although the courses that we provide include an abundance of knowledge and activities, sometimes it is nice to get some one-on-one advice from somebody who has done it all before. A mentor can answer your specific questions, give you practical advice that relates directly to your situation, give you honest and constructive feedback, help you to grow and develop your business and much more.

To give your business an extra push, why not take advantage of one of Dog Business School’s mentoring programmes?

Simply select the mentor that you would like to work with, choose the number of hours that you want to receive and we will set up your initial meeting.
