Tech For Trainers with Victoria M Rose
A monthly membership to help ethical, force free trainers harness the power of marketing and technology to scale their business.
Discover the tools to cut down your admin time and systems to help you to be more strategic with your marketing, so that you can focus on helping owners train their pets using only the best R+ methods.
As a self-employed dog trainer you know there are so many different hats to wear in your business.
Admin, bookkeeper, customer services, ethical trainer, marketing manager, marriage counsellor, receptionist, tech support – it can all be frustrating, overwhelming, and exhausting.
Even if we isolate marketing, with all the social media platforms and features you need to be using, all the email marketing tools you need to learn, and all the website updates you need to do, it’s hard to keep up.
- you want to grow and scale your business so that you can help more pet owners train using only ethical methods, with no fear, force or pain;
- you want to be able to invest more time in CPD and training your own animals so that you can go out and enjoy spending time working and/or compete with them.
- you want your training business to work for you, not the other way around.
But you already feel overwhelmed, stressed out and on the edge of burnout.
And chances are you have already been asking yourself, how long can I keep this up?
Did I really quit my corporate job, to be just as stressed out?
When there are already not enough hours in the day, how do I scale my business?
If I cannot expand my training skills, how will I be able to provide better services to my clients?
If I cannot increase take on more clients and increase sales, how will I be able to afford my dream home, save for retirement or support my family?
And I am guessing that when you signed up to be a force free trainer it wasn’t to spend hours in front of your computer replying to emails, arranging and rearranging bookings, coming up with ideas and creating the content to promote your classes on social media, or painstakingly updating your website.
🤯 Am I right? Then it’s time to do things differently.
Some trainers think that the answering is outsourcing – which means more hats (management and HR), more meetings, more outgoings and less profits, which then requires even more clients!
But the truth is that there is so much more you can do yourself – if you just have the right systems and strategies in place.
✅ With the right systems in your business, you could save up to two work hours per day…
✅ With the right strategies in place, you’ll find that creating marketing content which converts into more sales is a breeze…

A library of tutorials
You want to learn more about business, marketing, social media and time management, but I know you don’t have HOURS to spend watching tutorial videos. These bitesize videos will take you through the essentials so you can get up and running without faffing around on your laptop or phone.
30 social media prompts
To help you come up with scroll stopping content including fill-in-the-gaps templates for your feed, ideas and audio for Instagram reels, conversation starters for your Facebook Group, and engagement boosting ideas for your stories and lives, so that you can fill your classes, workshops and 121s in no time.
PRIVATE COMMUNITY
Tech For Trainers members will have access to a private community to talk about all things business, social media, technology, and anything related to the promotion of reinforcement-based training methods. A client-free zone where you can guarantee you’ll be surrounded by likeminded trainers.
CLICKER TRAINING
Every month there will be one 60-min clicker training session where I'll take you and your fellow TFT members “click by click” through a marketing / time saving / or tech process you're struggling to get your head around. You'll be able to pre-submit your questions if you can't attend live and these recordings will appear in the member's hub.
GET ‘SIT’ DONE
When it comes to marketing and staying on top of your to-do-list, consistency and accountability are KEY… which is why I host a 40-min get ‘sit’ done sessions every weekday. These co-working sessions will be held on Zoom, with a debrief at the end to celebrate what you've achieved.
Private 121 Zoom Calls
Like with dog training, group classes are great but sometimes you just need a little 121 support.
All members will be entitled to book 1 x 40 min calls per month. These sessions will allow you to ask me questions specific to your business admin, tech and marketing strategy.
What my members said...
I've been a member of Tech for Trainers for a few months now, and Victoria is just the best. She's helpful, supportive and will go out of her way to help you in any way she can.
She keeps on top of the latest trends in social media and technology, which is great if you're wanting your training business to grow.
She gives you the confidence you need to get out there and try new social media ideas; for me, it was doing reels which I had been putting off for ages.
Victoria of Tech for Trainers has helped me enormously with my marketing and use of social media.
For me she has demystified the tech and found ways to speed up workflows which in turn has meant I’ve spent less time In the office and more time helping clients.
Having a marketer with a personal interest in positive dog training is indeed a rare find and I would recommend her services to all my fellow canine professionals.
Tech for Trainers has really help me sort through the feeling of overwhelm when looking at what technology and social media is of value to me and my business.
Victoria is really supportive and able to break things down into a format I can understand!
FACT: I have invested £40,000 in my education and CPD.
While there is always more to learn, it is safe to say, that I have a sound understanding of everything relating to PR, marketing, social media, systems and time management.
Over the years, I have learnt about email list and audience building, membership launches and retention, time management systems, how to create killer sales pages, social media management, Facebook Ads management, how to shift your mindset, and much, much more.
Having a full book of happy clients (some of which have been with me since day one of my business) it is also safe to say that I have a sound understanding of how to put this knowledge into practice – what works, and more importantly, what doesn’t.
When you join Tech For Trainers today, you’ll be able to access nearly a decade’s experience of PR, marketing, and social media each and every week. And what’s more, you'll get to take everything I teach forward with you in your business.
One of the mistakes most animal trainers make when it comes to their marketing is to just outsource it to someone who “knows what they’re doing”.
And while I get results for my done-for-you clients, it's because I know their businesses inside and out, and I understand what their ideal client is thinking because I am my clients’ client…
Outsourcing your marketing and social media management may help you to claw back some time, but it will not guarantee you any long term results.
And, if you are working with someone who doesn’t understand the ethical animal training scene like we do, it could cause you more headaches in correcting copy!
So, let me ask you…
... if there is no one who knows your business better than you;
... if there is no one more passionate about growing your business than you;
... then wouldn’t it be safer, smarter, more cost effective and future proof to simply learn how to do it yourself, at a fraction of the cost?
Click and be rewarded!
I love clicker training, which is why when you click below and sign up to Tech For Trainers today, I’m going to throw in some extra goodies for you.
Every month TFT will help you get to grips with technology which will help save you time and make you more money, so that you can spend less time staring at a screen, and more time out on the training field.
But that is only the beginning…
When it comes to business admin and marketing, the first thing dog trainers tell me is that they simply don’t have enough hours in the day.
So, let’s fix that first!

Hopefully by now you understand exactly how my Tech For Trainers membership will help you to revolutionise the way you run and promote your force free training business.
You want in.
But, like most business owners I know, I also understand that it’s highly likely that you have been burnt in the past by business and marketing gurus.
By other online course providers who promised you the moon on a stick, took your cash and then expected you to ‘get on’ with their programme with very little direct support from them.
Right now, I can only give you my word and tell you that I have designed this membership to ensure that this is not going to happen here. Which is why you can cancel your subscription at any time.
And if you still have a bit of doubt, I want you to know that I am ALSO including a 30-day, no questions asked, 100% money-back guarantee.
Which means that if for any reason you realise that Tech For Trainers is not what you were expecting, if it is not what you need in your business right now, or if you don’t like my style of teaching, all you have to do is email me within 30 days of signing up and I will gladly give you all of your money back, cancel your ongoing membership subscription and thank you for giving it a go.
Why would I do this? Because you shouldn’t have to pay for something that isn’t right for you or your business.
And I’m so convinced of how awesome this membership is going to be that I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is. That’s how much I believe in Tech For Trainers.

YES! In three ways:
You’ll be more confident about and focused on pricing, promoting, and selling your 121s, classes and workshops thanks to the weekly Get Sit Done sessions and support from your fellow ethical dog training professionals.
You’ll have more time to train, work and compete with your own dogs which will help you to showcase your training skills and ‘get your name out there’, thanks to the time management tutorials and monthly social media prompts.
You’ll know how to use technology such as social media to promote your business, email marketing to keep in touch with your regular clients, and online calendars and website systems to streamline client booking, thanks to the monthly Clicker Training sessions.
I'm brand new to the world of professional dog training, I don't even have my first client yet - will this help?
YES! See previous answer!
I’m an experienced dog training professional - is this for me?
Would you like to have more clients?
Would you like to have more time to train your own dogs?
Would you like to charge more?
Would you like to set better boundaries and streamline client communications?
Would you like to offer more online services?
Would you like to have other ethical dog training professionals to discuss ideas and problems with?
Do you feel confident taking your business to its next level?
Yes? Then yes, Tech For Trainers is for you.
I don’t know if I’ll have time to use this?
One of the main issues I know dog trainers face is finding time to work on their business, rather than in it. But that does not mean I am not going come over to your house, tie you to your desk and make you access the membership materials.
I have created Tech For Trainers so you can earn more money from your ethical dog training business while also finding a better work-life balance.
I want to assure you that I 100% know what it’s like to be a time-poor, self-employed, small business owner with clients to serve, admin to manage, CPD courses to complete, dog training dreams to live up to, and a busy home life.
So, while my background is in PR, marketing and social media, I will be including all my top time management tips, tricks and tools in TFT to help you MAKE more time. I’m all about streamlining, using technology and templates, and focussing time and energy on the activities that will make the biggest difference to the bottom line.
And what I do know, is that if you can take just one thing from the membership each month you will have more than covered your monthly membership fee. Whether that’s a new connection, a tutorial, joining me on a Clicker Training call, getting focused in a Get Sit Done session, or getting a super-speedy solution to a problem inside our member's community.
PLUS you will have access to the tutorial videos for life, so you will be able to dip into those as and when you need them.
Isn't it a bit weird to join a membership full of my competitors?
You'd think so yes! But Tech For Trainers is a unique membership where your competitors will become your greatest allies and you'll truly learn the value of collaboration over competition.
I've seen some incredible collaborations and friendships formed through my client’s businesses, such as the Gundog Trainers Academy, and I know that the overall passion for ethical dog training will help ignite and sustain an amazing community spirit.
