Becky Mitchell wanted to work with dogs since she was a little girl growing up in Plymouth, and set up Beckys Walkies in 2011. To improve her knowledge she embarked on a dog training journey that added behavioural and training services. This led to her working long hours 7 days a week and almost burning out. Becky shares how she streamlined the services, increased prices, took on a staff member, and niched down to fearful dogs, all during the pandemic. www.growyourpetbusinessfast.com/dtchallenge

Hannah's dog Kobie inspired her to become a dog trainer, and after she tooled up her training knowledge she sensibly started figuring out how to market her skills, which led her to PBIC Diamond. She shares how putting her personality into her marketing has helped create deeper connections with her tribe, AND how she successfully switched to dog online training during lockdown.
