How Does It Work?
 
 
how does it work?
Consulting sessions take place over the phone, at your convenience.
You can pay an hourly fee of $125, or purchase our 3-, 5-, or 10-hour discounted packages at respectively $345, $550, or $1,000.
We email you a pre-coaching questionnaire to fill out and return. In it, you tell us about your business, goals, competition, community, etc., so we can get straight to work in your very first session.
At the end of each talk, we review the ground we’ve covered and confirm to-do lists for you and for your dogTEC consultant.
Most client appointments last one hour and happen once a week, but your needs dictate the schedule.

Case Study: Cathy Fox

Cathy trained for many years on the side of a full time non-dog related job in Spokane, WA. She was tired from working so much and knew she wanted to train full time, but wasn’t sure how to make the leap.

In the Spring, we crunched the numbers and put a transition plan together, including the necessary marketing to increase training clients gradually. Cathy opted for a classic two-step transition, going part time when the right goal numbers were hit, and then leaving her old work altogether when she reached the final milestones.

The result?
By that Fall Cathy and her Husky Ed were full time in their own business, Paw & Order.
