đ Introducing đ
Tech For Trainers
A monthly membership to help ethical trainers launch, grow and scale a business and life they love.
Discover how to spend less time on admin and be more strategic with your marketing so that you can make more money and spend more time training your own dogs⊠without having to spend £1,000s on outsourcing.
If youâre ready to learn â I'm ready to show you how...
A lot of work goes into building and running a successful dog training business.
There are so many different hats to wear â dog trainer, admin, bookkeeper, customer services, marketing, receptionist, tech support â 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 the website updates you need to do, itâs hard to keep up, let alone get peopleâs attention. Especially when it seems like thereâs a million other dog trainers fighting over the same clients.
- you want to make an impact on the world of dog training;
- you want to help more owners train their dogs using ethical methods;
- you want a reliable stream of good income so that you can quit your corporate job, pay off your mortgage early and be financially free;
- and most of all, you want to spend more time doing the thing you love most: training your dog so that you can go out working and/or competing with them without worrying how it will reflect on your training business.
But you already feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and stressed.
And chances are you have already been asking yourself, how long can I keep this up?
When there are already not enough hours in the day, how do I grow and scale my business?
If I cannot expand my skills, make a name for myself, and prove I am a good trainer, how will I be able to charge my clients more money?
If I cannot increase my rates, or take on more clients, how will I be able to pay my bills and save for retirement?
đ€Ż Right?
And I am guessing that when you signed up to be a dog trainer it wasnât 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.
Most dog trainers think that the answering is outsourcing â hiring admin and marketing staff, which means more hats (management, HRâŠ), 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 â if you just have the right systems and strategies in place.
â
With the right systems in your business, you could save up to two work hours per dayâŠ
â
With the right strategies in place, youâll find that creating marketing content which converts into more sales is a breezeâŠ
When you build a business without solid systems or strategies in place, the results can be devastating. Your growth outpaces your ability to keep up, youâre not able to scale, you risk burning out and becoming ill, and you could even fall out of love with your passion for training dogs.

Whatâs inside Tech For TrainersâŠ
đ 30 social media prompts released every month
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.
đ©âđ»Get âSitâ Done sessions
When it comes to marketing and staying on top of your to-do-list, consistency and accountability are KEY⊠which is why I will be hosting two 40-min get âsitâ done sessions per week.
đ±Clicker Training sessions
Every month there will be one 60-min clicker training session where I'll take you and your fellow TFT members âclick by clickâ 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.
đ„ A library of tutorials
You want to learn more about business, marketing, social media and time management, but I know you donât 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.
đȘStronger together
I believe that community is everything. 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 youâll be surrounded by likeminded trainers. Picture a staff room full of colleagues ready to help you out, without having to make all the teas or supply the biscuits.
đQuarterly bonus!
Like with dog training, group classes are great but sometimes you just need a little 121 support. Every three months you will be invited to book in one 40-min private clicker training session to run through anything you might not want to share on a group call.
FACT: I have invested over ÂŁ35,000 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 and time management.
In the last year alone, 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 â what works, and more importantly, what doesnât.
Thanks to Tech For Trainers, you donât need to invest tens of thousands of pounds to get access to all of this knowledge.
When you join my membership, youâll be able to access nearly a decadeâs experience of PR, marketing, and social media each and every week.
And whatâs more, YOU get to take everything I teach forward with you in your business.
One of the mistakes most dog trainers make when it comes to their marketing is to just outsource it to someone who âknows what theyâre doingâ.
And while I get results for my done-for-you clients, it is because I know their businesses inside and out, and I understand what their ideal client is thinking because I am my clientsâ clientâŠ
Outsourcing your marketing and social media management may help you to claw back some time to train your own dogs, but it will not magically guarantee you any business results.
And, if you are working with someone who doesnât understand the ethical dog training scene like we do, it could even cause you more headaches in correcting copy!
So, let me ask youâŠ
...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 wouldnât it be safer, smarter, more cost effective and future proof to simply learn how to do it yourself, at a fraction of the cost?
Which leads me to how it is to join the membership...
Tech For Trainers is ÂŁ97 per month, or ÂŁ997 per year.
At that price, itâs a no-brainer. Why? Because I know that if you implement just a FEW of my suggestions, you can easily recoup that!
Click and be rewarded!
I love clicker training, which is why when you click below and sign up to Tech For Trainers today, Iâm 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 worrying about paying vet bills, and more time out on the training field.
But that is only the beginningâŠ
When it comes to business admin and marketing, the first thing dog trainers tell me is that they simply donât have enough hours in the day.
So, letâs fix that first!
JOINING BONUS: Using technology to optimise your time and create focus in your marketing.
Imagine just how much easier it will be to keep track of everything you need to do in your business, and personal life, if you had everything listed in just one place!
This webinar will teach you:
- an easy approach to time management you can implement straight away.
- how to get started with Asana.
- the key foundations you need to put in place when setting up your system.
- the tools you need to help you zoom in and out on your goals and tasks.

- first impressions.
- content review.

đ§ Test drive for 30 days
Hopefully by now you understand exactly how my Tech For Trainers membership will help you to revolutionise the way you run and promote your dog training business.
You want in.
But, like most business owners I know, I also understand that itâs 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 âget onâ 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 donât 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 shouldnât have to pay for something that isnât right for you or your dog training business. And Iâm so convinced of how awesome this membership is going to be that Iâm willing to put my money where my mouth is. Thatâs how much I believe in Tech For Trainers.

I donât know if Iâll 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 itâs 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. Iâm 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 thatâs 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 clientâs 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.
Fellow force-free dog trainers are not your competition, they are by your side 24/7 to cheer you on, share advice and tips, help you in the dark times and celebrate your wins with you.
