A professional dog-trainer, Veronica Boutelle is also the former Director of Behavior and Training at the San Francisco SPCA. In “How To Run A Dog Business: Putting Your Career Where Your Heart Is”, she draws upon her many years of experience and expertise to show aspiring dog trainers wanting to start their own business how to analyze their market, set prices, and advertise their services; determine what licenses, insurance, and professional affiliations are needed; create systems that profitably streamline the business; and how to balance work demands with having a personal life. Exceptionally well written and superbly organized, “How To Run A Dog Business” is very highly recommended for aspiring professionals, as well as non-specialized general readers who enjoy the company and training of their canine companions.

I’ve been running a small dog training business for around 8 years now and after reading this book, have realized how many things I could be doing better. Her ideas are simple yet effective. This is a definite MUST READ if you’re thinking of going into a dog related business or even if you’re already in one!

I’m currently reading the book titled How to Run a Dog Business, etc. As an aspiring dog trainer, I thought it would give me a bit more detail, but so far it is helpful, but not as extensive or comprehesive as I hoped.

“How To Run A Dog Business: Putting Your Career Where Your Heart Is” by Veronica Boutelle is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to work with dogs and run their own business. Even if you have been up and running for years but still feel a little lost, this book can be a lifesaver and help you avoid burnout. Without this book as a compass, I would be totally lost about the way to proceed and probably made a lot of mistakes along the way. Now I can have the peace of mind that I have the tools to set up my business in the most efficient and successful way possible. It involves a lot of work (all completely worthwhile when you are pursuing your passion), but at least I know I am headed in the right direction and I have Veronica and this book to thank for that!
