The Pet Business Consultant

Things have been quiet on here for the last little while but that's not because I've not been doing anything! In fact, it's the total opposite - I've been incredibly busy running my February Synergy Summit and also working with my private coaching clients, all whilst growing my dog walking business by training up 2 new members of staff and taking on new dogs!

And that's how it is when you run your own business - sometimes things are very hectic and crazy, other times they're a little more calm. Being able to shift up the gears quickly is an important skill when you're self employed, as is taking well deserved breaks when you get moments of calm! I take pride in helping my coaching clients improve on both these things whilst we work together.

So I'm taking this rare night of calm to share with you a review that's just come in from one of my private coaching clients - the wonderful Roslyn from Rosy Paws Edinburgh, who booked a coaching package with me a few months ago.

It's been a delight to work with Roslyn, who has a brilliant, established dog walking and training business. I've enjoyed helping her to grow, expand and take leaps towards her long term goals.

March is currently fully booked but I will be running another Synergy Summit soon, and will be taking new private coaching clients from April. Please get in touch if you'd like to get involved!

I'm delighted to have just received this lovely testimonial from Greg at Suburban Pup Co, who I did some solo coaching with towards the end of last year...

"Tammie helped me immeasurably to get up and running. There is nothing she doesn’t know, and can always find you the answer. She also has a contact database for all of the best dog professionals in the area - from trainers, to groomers, to hydrotherapists!

Tammie is extremely friendly, open and communicative and is more than happy to pass on advice and tips that have made Clan Canines the best dog walking business in Edinburgh (probably beyond!)

I took on so much information in my sessions and it really helped me create ideas that stood out from the crowd. Any aspiring dog walker will find her services so helpful. And existing businesses looking to grow and improve can learn an awful lot too."

I am currently working with a fantastic small group of dog walkers on our February Synergy Summit, but will be opening my books soon for another Summit in April. I'm also always available for solo coaching.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like some help creating the pet business of your dreams!

I've just received this Google review from River at Edinburgh Dog Behaviour . It's been a pleasure to help her grow and develop her amazing business over the last few years. Without a doubt, River is one of the most educated people I know when it comes to dogs, but initially struggled with the business side of things. I can't wait to see what the future brings for Edinburgh Dog Behaviour - I know it will be amazing!!

I've just got off an Introductory Zoom Call with one of my Synergy Summit clients and I'm feeling really excited about how much we are going to do over February to get her and her business set up for great success!

It's not too late to join our Summit which starts next Wednesday - just drop me a message now to find out how you can reserve your spot!

I've recently been working with Tamsin from Dedicated to Dogs, a well established, successful dog training and behaviour business.

Tamsin is already achieving great things but came to me looking for some extra help in making her business as profitable as possible and putting some real structure in place to guarantee future success.

If you are running an existing pet business and would like someone to cast an impartial eye over things and help you put a strategic plan in place for the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Here's what Tamsin had to say;

"I can’t thank Tammie enough for the help and guidance I have had from her. As an established and busy dog training business it is so easy to get stuck and keep doing the same old process that doesn’t work. We have been working on making the business more profitable by reorganising it.

Tammie has fantastic original ideas, as well as helping develop and problem solve existing ideas. She is great at setting clear and achievable deadlines which is something I definitely need. She’s always there to give you a friendly nudge when you need it too.

Whether you are just starting out or an established business looking to develop and become more successful I would highly recommend Tammie"

One of the biggest joys in helping those at the start of their business journey is helping them navigate all the road blocks that can seem incredibly overwhelming at first.

When you first start out, it can feel like you’re at the bottom of a 100ft ladder and the first few rungs are at least 10ft apart! How on earth do you even scramble onto the first one??

Yes, you are passionate about what you want to do and you know you’d be good at it, but how on earth do you get started?!

Domain names, brand colours, logos, email hosts, website hosts, skills training, social media handles, marketing, business bank accounts, sole trader v limited company.... the thought of these can bring the hardiest soul a sense of overwhelm and dread! 🙈

But the truth is, none of these things are particularly hard when you have someone to guide you through them. Someone who has been there, done that - someone who has spent years discovering the best tools to get the job done.

Yes, most people will eventually figure it all out for themselves, but that can take years and can seriously hamper the profits you could be making - profits that are essential if you want to make your business viable.

If you know you want to be your own boss and your dream is to set up a professional, profitable and enjoyable dog walking business, then do your future-self a massive favour and sign up for my February Synergy Summit.

Over 4 weeks, you and a very small group of other like-minded individuals will cover all the basics to enable you to get things off to the very best of starts. After an introductory one on one call with me, you will take part in 4 weekly Zoom calls, covering all the things you need to know. You will also have access to a WhatsApp support group and a document template bundle.

Here’s just a taster of what we’ll be covering over the 4 week period;

• Getting a great bookkeeper
• How to register as self employed and the pros and cons of sole trader v limited company
• Choosing a domain name
• Getting the right business insurance & other insurances to consider
• Applying for a boarding licence
• Securing a website & email host
