what the grads say
“This seminar was absolutely fantastic. If you ever get a chance to attend a dogTEC seminar I highly recommend it! I walked away confident about what to do and excited to go home and put my new information to use.” –Sheri Church (review in SVBT Behavior Perspective)

“Your presentation was extremely helpful and enjoyable. You gave me hope that I can compete in a busy marketplace and make a good living.” –Allison Hartlage

“Thank you for your seminar out here in the Northeast. It gave me just the push I needed. My clients are very happy with the changes I’ve made, and I’m actually enjoying my career again. A new and better direction—how exciting! Thank you for all your advice and I hope you visit us again someday.” –Jill Haley Rose

“You are truly an inspirational entrepreneur, I’m so glad I attended your seminar! I’m now confident I’m on the right track to creating an amazing pet-related business. I can’t wait to put the tools to use you provided me with, the time management tools especially. You have opened my eyes about my potential as a business owner.” –Linzy Trueblood

“I attended your Dog Pro business seminar in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago and it was absolutely fantastic! Your presentation was top-notch, both interesting and informative. I am so grateful such a resource exists. I honestly wouldn’t have the courage to start a dog walking business, especially in this economy, if not for dogTEC.” –Katie Hall

“Before we attended the dogTEC Business Workshop, I was ready to give up on our facility and business. After hearing all you had to say, I felt revitalized. I realized, yes, we can do this—and today, we are! We’re sending a letter to our clients explaining the changes and we just finished a 2-day staff training seminar on Customer Service, Office Training and Expectations in the Kennel. We have a renewed sense of purpose and a plan to get there. Thank you! You and your company really seem to care about dog pros.” –Stephanie Spikoski, No Place Like Home Pet Resort
