In this episode of Mind Your Own Dog Business, Kristen Lee sits down with Dog Biz School founder and 20-year dog training veteran Maggie Christina on what it takes to be a damn good facilitator and educator to your dog-owning clients. Sure, you're a great freaking dog trainer with the best hands-on dog training skills and handling; but educational systems are you using as a dog trainer to transfer that knowledge to the dogs' owners.
We've all heard it before:
"It's not about training the dog, but training the people". But what does that mean as a dog trainer? And how do you know if you're making an impact on your client's life when it comes to skill transfer.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Transitioning skills to your dog owners & clients during training programs
Educational systems for dog trainers
What is a facilitator vs. teacher in your dog training programs/classes
Facilitating relationships
Crafting experiences and dog training systems designed for humans
How to get good with people skills
